Like 4+ billion for a shopping mall and next to nothing to really bless people -
Money=tithing=live the laws of that kingdom(see D&C 88:22)=blessings=mormonism.

“Look at these three children doing jobs. On the first blank space by each drawing, write how much you think each child might earn for the job. On the second line, write how much the tithing would be.”
Whew. That is so screwed up.
I just left church a while ago. At the end of the service the youth stood in front of the altar to tell about summer camp. WE adults give TO them. I guess this guy would’ve demanded 10% of the extra that was above our normal 10% tithe to tithe on the tithe.
Good health is a blessing
In fact the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible said that healing is the childrens bread
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
if tithing to the Mormon Corp is supposed to bring on blessings
Why have so many of the mormon “prophets” and “apostles” died horrible deaths after suffering for years with physical ailments ???
Erza Taft Benson for one...suffering physically and mentally incompetant for years with his staff pretending the autopen was his own signature...
Why are so many SLC mormons physically and mentally/emotionally sick ???
Why is Utah #1 for Prozac etc ???
Hers another...
Since long life is a blessing why did Joey Smith get himself killed at age 38 ???
Did Joey tithe ???
Talk about money graging thieves
The Mormon Corp insist that poor hungry people tithe instead of eating
“One of the first things a bishop must do to help the needy is ask them to pay their tithing. Like the widow, if a destitute family is faced with the decision of paying their tithing or eating, they should pay their tithing. (SApostle Lynn Robbins Spring Gemeral Conference 2005)
BTW Hows that $5 BILLION Mormon Mall going ???
Its being built with tithe money
Just reading this makes me want to vomit. Tithing is between you and God - period. No man has any business in what happens. Blessings is not stuff.
What a bunch of money grabbing thugs, the lds leaders name it and claim it from the members, while the members bend over for the shilling.
Grace??? Long as she gives her 10% she’s o.k.
FOOLISHNESS!
NONSENSE!
FAIL!
THese kind of posts are rather pointless since the Gospel was fulfilled in the New Testament, and Christ’s finished works upon the Cross.
The book of Mormon, etc.. makes no sense, since Christ’s work in fulfilling God’s promises to us in His plan of salvation is finished on the Cross, and expressed finally in the NT letters which bear that wittness.
In face it is not even plausable that the Book of Mormon, etc are from God since (1 the warning not to “add” to revelation), and 2ndly because they CONTRADICT the scriptures both Old and New, rather than confirm the exact same thing they say.. Blessings, I hope that God opens your eyes...
J.S.
This needs to be on a page with Scientology and new age mind control, not religion.
If you're wondering about it, give it a try.
Greyfoxx, I know this may not be the place for this, but FR has lost a great FReeper. Sionnsar passed away, last night, PDT, after being in a coma for a week. The details are sketchy, but his wife and two daughters need all the prayers and blessings they can get.
Would you please ping your list of FReepers and ask the Prayer Warriors to pray for his family? It has been such a hard time for them all, and they are in need of peace.
Thanks!
‘Face
The Corporation must be having some cash flow problems.
Sorry, MORMON; but EVERYONE gets this!
Where we SPEND it is determined by whether we've accepted the TRUE 'greatest gift': Salvation that the TRUE Christ has provided.
Acts 15
The Council at Jerusalem
1 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the believers very glad. 4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13 When they finished, James spoke up. “Brothers,” he said, “listen to me. 14 Simon[a] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
16 “‘After this I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things’[b]—
18 things known from long ago.[c]19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers
22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter:The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. 32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers. 33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the believers with the blessing of peace to return to those who had sent them. [34] [d] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord.
Disagreement Between Paul and Barnabas
36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.” 37 Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, 38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. 39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. 41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Money=tithing=live the laws of that kingdom(see D&C 88:22)=blessings=mormonism.
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Using thuggery to receive funds kind-of negates the concept of “blessing”. (IMHO)
