—...see Jesus’ words to the Pharisees
****
Just who are the Pharisees and the Antis what do they have in common and how they work?
Antis denieth the word of God try to befuddle and confused others the method they use is not of God and no better than the ways of Pastor Terry Jones...
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
Their FR posting track record testifies in their destructive behavior.
Antis are modern day Pharisees

1 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Are not the anits trying to steal the flock and destroy the word of God?
John 9 Antis are modern day Pharisees in their endless accusing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
If you did not forget, why did you ping him?
The only thing that makes sense to me as to why you pinged him is...
(1) First weekend of April: PD gets zotted into outer Freeper darkness
(2) April: Perhaps some Mormon FReeper conducts a Mormon ritual where they perform a rebaptism of the Freeper zotted ones...maybe it was done for PD? Who knows?
(3) Last week of April: This article is posted whereby a 19th-century Mormon "apostle" "participated regularly in seances" [see From LDS apostle to spiritualist — the strange journey of Amasa Mason Lyman ]
(4) Coincidentally the last week of April - Freeper Restornu "communicates" to the zotted one in outer Freeper darkness even though we know the zotted one can't receive the ping, nor respond...unless he could do it via spiritualism or something of the like.
Sounds awfully coincidentally eerie, Resty...what's goin' on?
John 9 Antis are modern day Pharisees in their endless accusing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
Resty, last week the Mormon church had headlines that it had printed its literal 150th million Book of Mormon...in 82 languages fully translated...partially translated in another 25...
If all of those 107 translations have translated 1 Nephi 14:9-10, then that's 150 million Book of Mormons that have endlessly accused other (non-Mormon) churches of being the "church of the devil."
Not to mention all the Pearl of Great Price printings...Lds curricula...online articles...books...etc...
...all endlessly accusing the Christian church of apostatizing for over 1500 years!
All endlessly accusing the Christian church of being "corrupt."
All endlessly accusing the Christian church of embracing 100 abominable creeds.
And even, worse, claiming "God" said these things about His own church in its entirety!
You and your fellow Mormons should be deeply ashamed of yourselves for this endless accusatory parade aimed at the worldwide Christian church!
And to think that you don't think we should respond to these accusations is all the more worse of your personal shame before God.
Repent, Resty! For the Kingdom of God is at hand!
BOO hoo HOO!
Joseph Smith continues: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (, p.270).Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (, p. 119).Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" ( 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" ( 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" ( 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (, vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" ( 10:230).Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (, p. 255).Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (, 18:172).President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (, vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (, 10:127).James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (, p.182).President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (, vol. 3, p.282).More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (, p.316).President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (, vol. 2, p.196).
I deny the words of JS, I do not deny the Word of God found in the Holy Bible.
Mormons on the other hand, have created a house of cards built upon “a complete apostasy” of God’s Word.
I reject the heresy of “a complete apostasy” that mormonism is based upon because of the following;
Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matt. 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Jesus did not lie when he spoke those words. There was not “a complete apostasy”.
Call me a pharisee, an anti, a pig, etc, all day, everyday. The simple fact is, I don’t care because the simple truths contained in the Bible refute mormonism.
