At BYU Seder, Mormons Dip, Eat, Sing Their Own ‘Dayenu’

But in LDS remembrance, (the conference) totally overshadows Easter.”

That's because Easter is about Jesus...and general conference is about JOSEPH SMITH!

[greyfoxx39]

In my church, communion is not offered to those who are too young to understand the reason for the bread and wine. What kind of “rembrance of the blood shed for us” would be in that child’s mind? It looks really odd to see little babies reaching out...maybe he thinks it’s Cheerios???

[restornu]

Hi resty...
What Holy Week plans are ahead for your ward and stake? For Ash Wednesday? For Maundy Thursday? For Good Friday?

What kind of beautiful and special program will you have on Easter Sunday? Anything different? Will the name of Jesus Christ replace the name of Joseph Smith as the center of attention?

It sure is odd to see all the outreach by the mormons in the past few years...the Jews and the Muslims get a lot of attention, but I haven’t see any “reaching out” to Evangelical Christians...I bet you can furnish lots of links and pix for that, right?

Jesus christ is risen he is not keep nail to a cross like some faiths

Jesus lives

Jesus has over come death

John 11:25

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Doctrine and Covenants 76:22

22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

Mosiah 2:23

23 And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him.

...andwe read in Matt when Jesus Christ was Crucified the Grave of the righteous were saved freed, open up.

Matt 27

50¶Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Excerpt

The Victory over Death By President Gordon B. Hinckley

Victory over Death

Gone were the hopes of those who loved Him. Forgotten were the promises He had made. His body was hurriedly but tenderly placed in a borrowed tomb on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath.

That Sabbath came and went. Then, early in the morning of Sunday, Mary Magdalene and other women came to the tomb.

They wondered as they hurried how the stone might be rolled from the door of the sepulchre. Arriving, they saw an angel, who spoke to them: “I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said” (Matt. 28:5–6).

It had never before happened. The empty tomb was the answer to the question of the ages. Well did Paul say: “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Cor. 15:55).

The miracle of that resurrection morning, that first Easter Sunday, is a miracle for all mankind. It is the miracle of the power of God, whose Beloved Son gave His life to atone for the sins of all, a sacrifice of love for every son and daughter of God. In so doing He broke the seals of death.

All of us will die. But that will not be the end. Just as He in the spirit world taught those who were capable of being taught, even so shall each of us continue as individual personalities capable of learning and teaching and other activities.

And just as He took up His body and came forth from the tomb, even so shall all of us enjoy a reunion of body and spirit to become living souls in the day of our own resurrection.

We rejoice, therefore, as do many, and as should all mankind, when we remember the most glorious, the most comforting, the most reassuring of all events of human history—the victory over death.

The Reality of the Resurrection

To all the world we bear solemn witness. We have read the testimony of those who participated in the experiences of those three days of pain, of sorrow, and of rejoicing.

We have read of the sufferings endured by those who testified of these things and of their willingness to give their own lives rather than deny the truth of that which they had seen.

We have read the testimony of those in Palestine and of those in the New World who were visited by the risen Lord. T

The Spirit has borne witness within our hearts concerning the truth of these testimonies.

We also have the testimony of one who, in the opening of this dispensation, spoke with the living Christ and with His Eternal Father, and who gave his own life to seal that testimony with his blood. Declared he in words of soberness:

“And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

“For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

“That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God” (D&C 76:22–24).

In solemnity, and with understanding of the gravity of that which we say, we add our witness to all the world of the reality of the Resurrection, that this same Jesus who rose from the grave ascended into heaven.

We declare that in this dispensation of time He returned to restore to earth the pristine gospel which He had taught while walking among men, that with that restoration has come further certain witness of His reality, and has come also the holy priesthood, given to men, which is exercised in His name.

This is our testimony, which we bear in the name of Jesus Christ, and we invite all mankind to accept it so that they may rejoice in the blessings that come from following the teachings of our resurrected Lord, the Savior of mankind.

Sweetie; YOU are the one who posted the MORMON 'scripture' about the WINE; and yet you MORMONs use WATER!!!!

How is THAT supposed to be a CLARIFICATION of ANYTHING???

MORMONism is a false religion that can't even follow it's OWN 'scripture'; let alone the bible!

Shall I post the WOW scripture that tells you folks NOT to eat MEAT???

[greyfoxx39]

Jesus christ is risen he is not keep nail to a cross like some faiths

WHAT faiths, resty? Those "Christian" faiths that the mormons keep attempting to take over and force their polytheistic, cross-hating, Christian hating, polygamy loving doctrine onto?

We've seen ample evidence by your posts regarding your respect for the Cross...err...make that "dis"respect.

[SZonian]

Not surprisingly, you have grossly misrepresented many of the Seders you linked and what they are offering.

I looked at some of them and your “editorializing” about them is not substantiated unless you yourself have attended them.

The snide “warning”, “required”, etc. are your words, and based on reading the announcements, are false.

Many of those are to pay for meals during or after the event. Some are to collect offerings in support of ministries. Do you give to the missionary fund? Same thing here.

One of your link titles is a lie (the one with the added “requirement”). It is not “required” to listen to the speech.

Try some truth, it can be a liberating experience.

[SZonian]

Hi Rip,

It’s lying about the purpose/nature of the “costs” of those Seders in the link titles.

Did you read any of the announcements linked? Are you familiar with the ministry concept outside of LdS circles?

Baptist and other denominational ministries are akin to the mormon missionary fund, yet they rely on donations or offerings to support their efforts.

They don’t have a centralized management center (SLC), they are operated within various churches yet accountable to their congregation.

It also lied about the “requirement” link, and unless it attended the one flagged with a “warning”, is unsubstantiated.

That’s no “fun” either and extremely poor form.

Regards,
SZ

Resty is that WATER ???

Mormon drink WATER instead of WINE to commemorate the death on the Cross of Gode our Savior ???

That is BLASPHEMY !!!

THe LORD Jesus Christ shed His BLOOD on the Cross to save us...

He didnt pee on it...

[Tennessee Nana]

How to take the sacrilege

[Tennessee Nana]

The Practicing LDS each week is reminded in sacrament of what our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer did for us

NOT JUST ONCE A YEAR LIKE THE CHILDREN OF CONSTATNTINE

Doc & Cov 20

75 It is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus;
_________________________________________________________

Often is not each week

Wheres your source ???

The LORD Jesus Christ did not tell us to take Communion once a week...

As you know Christians DO take communion once a week

or EVERY DAY if they choose to

As you already know

(For I have said so in the past and you like to tell me you remember everything I have every posted)

I was taught to take Communion once a month 12 times a year at least...

but it was available at church once a week

so I used to go to the Communion Service at 8am every Sunday

However the LORD Jesus Christ never set a timetable for Communion other than “”This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:26

So Mormons only want to remember what God did for them ONCE a week...

AQnd no Jesus did NOT sayu how ofyten to take Communion

It was man who seyt up the once a week ritual (mormons)

As a Christian I remember Jesus every day, all day long...

and not for water that was sweated in some garden...

But for the BlOOD that was shed on the CROSS at Calvary, a rubbish dump...

[greyfoxx39]

OMG!!

[greyfoxx39]

The Practicing LDS each week is reminded in sacrament of what our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer did for us

NOT JUST ONCE A YEAR LIKE THE CHILDREN OF CONSTATNTINE

If you keep repeating that total falsehood, do you think it will come true? I don't know who those "children of Constatntine are, but MANY CHRISTIAN churches have weekly communion...but of course mormons wouldn't know about Christian churches.

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 89

 

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327–329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.

 

1–9, Use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks proscribed; 10–17, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 18–21, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.

 

  1 A ^aWord OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—

  2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the ^aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and ^bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—

  3 Given for a principle with ^apromise, adapted to the capacity of the ^bweak and the weakest of all ^csaints, who are or can be called saints.

  4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of ^aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of ^bconspiring men in the last days, I have ^cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

  5 That inasmuch as any man ^adrinketh ^bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.

  6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, ^apure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.

  7 And, again, ^astrong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

  8 And again, tobacco is not for the ^abody, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.

  9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.

  10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—

  11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with ^aprudence and ^bthanksgiving.

  12 Yea, ^aflesh also of ^bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used ^csparingly;

  13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be ^aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or ^bfamine.

  14 All ^agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

  15 And ^athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

  16 All grain is good for the ^afood of man; as also the ^bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—

  17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

  18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ^ashall receive ^bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;

  19 And shall ^afind ^bwisdom and great ^ctreasures of ^dknowledge, even hidden treasures;

  20 And shall ^arun and not be ^bweary, and shall walk and not faint.

  21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the ^adestroying angel shall ^bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.
