Have you ever checked out Joe Smith’s 1843 “White Horse Prophecy?”

Just a bit.

It pops up from time to time in these threads; all JS' prophecies do.

Our FI ex-mos are the folks with the really good grasp of it.

They have the experience of hearing about it from inside the beast and can report accurately on the rank and file feelings about it.

Regardless of what we might think about polyandry or polygyny, there is no actual prohibition of it in the Bible.

True.

Like the 'law' of Gravity; there is no prohibition given that would keep a fellow from trying to break it.

but...

There IS 'prohibition' of ADULTERY and strong warnings against FORNICATION, so the two P's would fit into there, I'd assume.

Should peadeophiles and sheep lovers also have such pride parades?

I beg your pardon!

We are GOATS!

The WHP for me is the key to understanding Beck.

That and selling gold and survival foods.

I just LOVE a parade!!


Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

 

Psalms 12:8      The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Ain't this just FABULOUS??      More?

Isaiah 3:9   The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b  Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


 

 

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
 4.  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,  putting them into gloomy dungeons  to be held for judgment;
 5.  if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
 6.  if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
 7.  and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
 8.  (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
 9.  if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
 10.  This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature  and despise authority.   Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
 11.  yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
 12.  But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
 13.  They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

 9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
     Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

 


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

(Christianity)

For the most part, these creeds—the most famous of which is the Nicene Creed—were canonized in the fourth and fifth centuries A.D. following centuries of debate about the nature of the Godhead. Consequently, it is highly questionable whether these creeds reflect the thinking or beliefs of the New Testament church.

OK I’ll play...

(Mormonism)

(On every) part, these creeds—(the most famous of which is polygamy) —were canonized in the nineteenth century A.D. following centuries of debate about the nature of the Godhead. Consequently, it is (four times as) highly questionable whether these creeds reflect the thinking or beliefs of the New Testament church.

You’ve obviously NOT read the book to which I am referring.

(Joey Smith had) obviously NOT read the book to which I am referring.

That Book is the Word of God

Its called the Bible...

If he had ever read the Word of God and believed Him he would not have invented his foul evil religion, so full of Satanic rituals and flesh and lust...

Well, I though not a Mormon, am decidedly a lazy slob. A fat, bald one at that.

I have to do enough cooking at home without butting in as a guest.

I can’t speak for the rest of them but it looked like typical LDS division of labor to me.

I think Uri is referring to the original Hebrew Tanakh, correct?

Yes; The original Word of Elohim
before translations and commentary.

The TERM came in later as the Doctors of the Church drew a conclusion from scriptural study that the Lord is three persons in one God.

Well put.

The word games which are at the heart of the LDS effort always fail in the light of studied fact. "Oh but you won't find the word "Trinity" in the Bible"

Yeah, you won't find the words Automobile or Dinosaurs either...
