it is sad when we are misunderstood and lied about

The tenacity, and viciousness against Mormons is quite disapponting.
The exclusive expertise claimed by non-members is quite laughable.

When you accuse, “The tenacity, and viciousness against Mormons” are you referring to the people or the ISM?

[Bidimus1]

Tenacious is no insult, as far as vicious I will say this It is best to point out the facts and let them speak more than to slander or insult “res ipsa loquitur”

I have taken one of the lds leaders at his word, that many on the lds find this to be unpleasent is sad. You call people investagtors when lds try to presuade them to join the lds but seem to only want a very shallow and guided investagion.

“Convince us of our errors of Doctrine, if we have any, by reason, by logical arguments, or by the Word of God and we will ever be grateful for the information and you will ever have the pleasing reflections that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your fellow beings.” LDS Apostle, Orson Pratt - The Seer, p. 15

Logical Errors abound NONE of the historical claims of the lds have any serious provenience and many are easily refuted.

Word of God . The new testament is replete with warnings of new and differing gospels (that means good news) and with the exception of the KJV all of the lds standard works are quite novel and new.

I am sorry that some are mean spirited but that does not mean I or others should ignore the words of Jude “ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

If I fail to also follow Jude’s admonition to do so with compassion I apologize and hope to do better.

“keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference:And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”

And yet, your peurile giraffe posts in response to the many factual posts are supposed to, somehow, indicate that you are knowledgeable?

It is but to laugh.

Credibility? What credibility do YOU bring to the fray oh daoist one?

Yet, you are perfectly content to smear and ridicule Christians contending for their faith in response to the deliberate and intentional mormon lies about Christianity.

Hypocrisy, pure and simple.

I have over 21 years of dealings with the mormon religion and members. That is my so called “exclusive expertise”.

What have you?

Some type of fetish that involves posting giraffe pictures, nothing else.

That's what Emma said, too!

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

SECTION 132

51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.

Whatever HAPPENED to Emma???

---

 

Eliza was a devout Mormon.

At age 38, she became Joseph Smith's 14th plural wife (in addition to Smith's lawful wife, Emma).

 

In 1842, after learning Eliza was pregnant, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and

knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.

 

Wow!!

 

I guess ol' Emma got VAPORIZED by GOD!!!

 

We know that multiply him thing sure didn't work out!                                       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Joseph_Smith,_Jr.
