Well, then put the gospel into their hands and stop sniggering about what the early members of their church were doing in their boudoirs.

And you might take note of what many of them do with the gospel, themselves. It is hard to argue with the fruits of their recent labors.

Really, the apostates these days are Bishop Schori's Episcopalians. They are now deriding the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, and touting Collective Salvation. I think a lot of Mormons will make it to heaven before these Church of England apostates.

Again, you assume I can't multi-task. You're the one who claims you can only "worry" (your word) 'bout more than one thing at a time. Better not celebrate Memorial Day tomorrow, then, Mamzelle. By looking backwards into history, you won't be able to properly concentrate on anything dated 2011.

And you might take note of what many of them do with the gospel, themselves. It is hard to argue with the fruits of their recent labors.

It's a false gospel -- the Mormon gospel -- and your telling ignorance of it is showing like the lack of slip under a sundress.

Per the Book of Mormon -- 2 Nephi 25:23 -- you are "saved by grace AFTER ALL YOU CAN Do." Tell us, Mamzelle: When's a Mormon suppose to know he/she's done all they can do? When can one say, "Yup I've done EVERYTHING spiritually I can do...EVERYTHING relationally I can do...EVERYTHING physically I can do...EVERYTHING emotionally and attitudinally I can do...?" (etc.)

As for whatever "labors" you're attributing to them, hey, if you were auditioning for godhood like temple Mormons do, you, too might be on your best laborious behavior!

I think a lot of Mormons will make it to heaven before these Church of England apostates.

Well, then, you are joining the Mormon ranks in presenting heaven as anything other than free grace -- a complete gift.

Because the idea of Mormons attaining an eternal relationship with Heavenly Father is based upon works. A grade, so to speak. A spiritual Boy Scout worthy merit badge.

Allow me to highlight the pure contrast of the Gospel from the Bible by citing Romans 6:23 -- followed by a quote from the Mormon "prophet" Spencer Kimball:

For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

...the idea that men may become gods still can be found in the Doctrines of the Gospel, Student Manual: Religion 430 and 431 (which carries a 2004 copyright date). The student manual cites President Spencer Kimball: “Man can transform himself and he must. Man has in himself the seeds of godhood, which can germinate and grow and develop. As the acorn becomes the oak, the mortal man becomes a god. It is within his power to lift himself by his very bootstraps from the plane on which he finds himself to the plane on which he should be. It may be a long, hard lift with many obstacles, but it is a real possibility” (52) (from The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, 28).

Why?

MORMONism threw it's GOD under the bus in favor of statehood.

The GOD BREATHED scripture of D&C 132 has NEVER been rescinded.

Most MORMONs are ignoring what their god COMMANDED them to do.

Why should he be pleased?
