Mary sealed to Heavenly Father by LDS proxy temple rites The Mormon Baptism of Mary, Mother of God
By Helen Radkey
Hail Holy Queen
Mary (the mother of Jesus) was a Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, identified in the New Testament as the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Mary conceived Jesus miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. For twenty centuries, Christians have cherished Mary and given her titles that reflect their love and admirationsuch as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Theotokos (Mother of God), Our Lady, and Queen of Heaven. As the most celebrated woman in Christendom, Mary is considered the epitome of virtue by Christians, especially Catholics and Orthodox. Protestants generally perceive Mary as an outstanding example of a life dedicated to God. Over two thousand years after she gave birth to Jesus Christwho is recognized by Christians and Mormons as the Redeemer of mankindMary of Nazareth was offered eternal salvation through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS.)

As far as speculating, it is your statements, your posts. So either they are true or you are being deceptive. Given the nature of your posts and what you have said that is very easy to believe, for "lying for the lord" is common practice for Mormons. That you do this simply speaks for itself.
One thing that is clear, and interesting because I have seen it before, you support the LDS as "truth" even when being cute with that silly arrogance. So either you are LDS or you have no issue spitting in the face of the "truth"...
Also you do care, because you respond and do so with vague comments and accusations of "opinions" and such despite making more solid statements early on...
Now give me your cute little response about not making points whilst posting statements and how we have no facts etc.....
You somehow seem to think this thread is about you; but it is not.
It is about the HERESY named MORMONism.
We are posting the things that MORMONism has put forth; and the chips are falling where they may.
Paul was NOT addressing HERETICS, but believers...
14 I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children. 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me. 17 For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?
Awww...y’all work so hard to place me into that rigid niche that you like posters to be in, and have such sorry responses when we don’t snap up your bait. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: You don’t want to discuss things: You want to pound your beliefs into everyones’ heads, regardless of their religious persuasion.
You think this is the first time I have dealt with anti-Mormons? It is to laugh! I respond because I want to see just how far you will go to “prove” someone is “wrong” in their beliefs.
You don’t know who and /or what I am, and therefore, you try to narrow it down to something within your comfort level. Your responses are cute, too. Seriesly!
St. Paul was addressing believers who had strayed or were in danger of straying from orthodoxy. They were either already heretics or were in danger of becoming heretics.
All Christian heretics believe in Jesus, however imperfectly. No living person fully knows or understands God and all fall short. One man's heretic is another man's saint. Do not judge them. No heretic's path to Salvation is complete or decided until the moment of his death.
If you are not a Catholic I can rightly claim that you are a heretic, but that does not entitle me to treat you in an un-Christian manner. I have been branded a heretic and insulted for my beliefs many thees on this forum by those who claim to speak for God. In the past it has brought me to anger and caused me to sin. I do not wish to cause anyone to sin against God, nor do I suspect do you. Other's beliefs do not change what I am called to do. Whether you or they know it or not, or believe it or not the "heretic" is a child of God created in His image. Only Grace and the Fruit of the Holy Spirit will bring him home.
"Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation." - 1 Peter 2:12
Ahh...
So essentially dropping a thought or comment and then doing nothing to support it just fun, a game, not that you cannot support your claims...
In broad terms we know who and what you are so it really is irrelevant. You defend a heretical cult based on false doctrines and stories that have been demonstrated to be hogwash. Facts are funny things, like “proving” 2+2=5, it can't be done but you can say the answer 5 is correct and you have never been “proven” wrong to this day, as long as reality is optional for you...
Oh and the “pound beliefs” you can pound sand on that one. I will discuss my beliefs with the true believer of any ;legitimate faith. Cults such as the LDS fall out of that norm. That they misrepresent and attack Christianity, makes that double true...

My-my...aren’t we testy, today.
You will never see the day when I attack Christianity, because you have no clue about me or what I believe. All you have to go on is what was posted in the past.
I don’t have to support the Truth. It will (again) stand on its own merit, in spite of what you think, say or believe.
So pound THAT into your rathole, and thank God for the Right to Choose!
How ‘bout both Morons and Kathlicks slip away?
.
I’m troubled by all the pagan nonsense about ‘mary.’
Read Christ’s words, and accept them as his will.
You have a bizzare idea of what constitutes ‘scripture.’
.
if the Catholics "go away" there would no longer be TRUE Christianity.....PERIOD !! .
Yup; you must be right!
That's EXACTLY why I post so much MORMON produced data.
Sorry; but I am going to do that very thing.
I will 'judge' them by the things they say and teach; just as I am being judged for the things that I post here in FR.
Then you WILL be repudiating the following QUOTES from MORMON 'leaders' who have done the very thing you say that you won't do.
Like THIS???
Jesus answered, The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps Gods commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
I guess I should have been more clear.
MORMONs consider it to be SCRIPTURE.
Spoken like a Latter-day Elisha!!
1 Kings 19:10-18
10 He replied, I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.
11 The LORD said, Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
14 He replied, I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.
15 The LORD said to him, Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israelall whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.
Elsie. Bless your heart! You just keep trying, don’t you?
I’m off to bed now. It was a long day, and my old bones don’t have the resilience they used to. I will keep you in my prayers.
