Excerpts:
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Kings 13:18 The old prophet answered, "I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the LORD: 'Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" (But he was lying to him.)
Jeremiah 23:16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
Ezekiel 22:27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain.
Daniel 11:34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them.
Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible.
Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect--if that were possible.
Luke 6:26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.
John 10:12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
Acts 13:6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Acts 20:29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Romans 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Revelation 16:13 Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Perhaps the Viking Kitties would like to pay you a visit.
Yep, pure coincidence! /s
If you want to take a very narrow look at the Bible with a very narrow interpretation to affirm your churchs teaching and can’t honestly look at the evidence before you, then I can do no more. Any further discussion with you is pointless. I will shake the dust off my robe and leave you to whatever it is you church wants you to believe.
Y’know, you could also ask where it is commanded to change the sabbath day to Sunday.... ;-)
BB, what i am telling you is the biblical, historical and orthodox Faith received from the Apostles.
you choose to follow a 19th century heretic named Ellen White, who is as much a false teacher as Joseph Smith.
when i ask for NT verses that teach Christians are to keep the 7th day sabbath, you provide verses that contain the word “sabbath”, but don’t teach to keep the 7th day sabbath.
you can dust off your robe all you want, but please understand this:
Jesus Christ is our sabbath, we rest in Him.
It wants us to believe what Christ and the Apostles and the Apostolic Fathers teach us, not what any lunatic with a third grade education and a soapbox happens to believe on this, a Monday morning.
Amen, my friend. Keep true to the Faith, and not the doctrines of the church of the god in the mirror.
Yesterday; I was the second of four that did exactly that; telling how and when we accepted the Gift of Salvation.

That is called giving your testimony, Elsie.
“Talks” are randomly assigned topics given by the Bishop. Not the same thing.

I don't think so. I think you're a nutcase and a lousy poet.
If you're God then strike me dead.
Have you seen ol’ brer Jed on this thread?
Classic stuff.
***since there was no controversy. only after some reformers questioned some books in the OT,****
Eusebius had some interesting thoughts on those questionable OT books. It is found in his ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.
He ranks some of them right along with THE SHEPHERD OF HERMAS which he considered OK for moralistic reading by new believers, but not sacred scripture.
Shucks! By his Eusebius’ standards they STILL beat the BOMormon by a country mile!

I went to an “Eminent Gleaners” banquet at an LDS church many years ago. Food, entertainment, LDS officials then asked the young people there to give their testimony as to why they joined the LDS church. The response was...
Friendship, comradeship, good social programs, ect. NOT ONE of those young people said they joined the LDS because they were lost in sin and needed Salvation through Jesus Christ. Not one. They considered the LDS to be more of a social club than anything else. I went to their church services in two different parts of the country. They were exactly the same. First, prayers, songs, bread and water communion, NO PREACHING or expounding on the Scriptures. Then we broke up and went to the classes. Expounding on Mormon doctrine. in one it was a study in their welfare organization. In the other it was how they would all go back to Jackson County Missouri when Jesus returned.!
usually the devil is more devious when bringing forth a false gospel, mormonism is such a joke that we must conclude the devil was having a bad day when he was inspiring Joseph Smith.
you have to cut him a break though, he was certainly busy in the 19th century with false gospels ( mormons, christian science, seventh day adventist, jehovah witnesses, christadelphians, etc )
no cicular reasoning required.
once one realizes the Church is the Body of Christ on earth, that it is the pillar of truth, that it has authority from Jesus directly to teach and baptize, it all makes sense.
if one continues to look at the Church as a human institution, like the rotary club, then one looks at it’s doctrines as circular reasoning.
