1. I condemned NO ONE.
2. Especially about about something in the BIBLE.
3. It is MORMON 'scripture' and Prophet #2 that condemns them.
4. I gave no pass to anyone.


That is so absurd it's pathetic.

A quick glance of your posts shows no criticisms of any other faiths(with an exception of Islam, an easy target)

I particularly find it humorous that you fault Mormons for them believing their faith(no matter how absurd) as the way to Heaven when every religion believes their faith is the "one true Faith" and the way into Heaven.

Joesph Smith was a blasphemous kook but who were those who filled the ranks of the mob that attacked and murdered Mormons from state to state? "Good Bible believing Christians"

Could it be these were the so called Christians he was criticizing?

Mormonism isn't the only heretical Christian church to spread it's particular brand of Christianity nor is the only one to "cherry pick" the Scripture to forward its own ends.(Snake Handling? Wealth and prosperity Televangelists, anyone?)

Afraid to step on someones toes who's not an unpopular minority as the mormons?

A quick glance of the title of this thread shows...

I’m a Mormon, Not a Christian [Mega hit piece on Christians], and yet YOU are trying everything you can to try to move the focus away from MORMONism.

The dog that howls is the one that was hit.

Well; you DO acknowledge the TRUTH of MORMONism!

MORMONism is about as 'christian' as the religion called Black Muslim is Islamic; but BOTH are heresies compared to the host they've parasitically latched onto.

I'm sorry if my focus is ENTIRELY on MORMONism, but the other groups you want 'bashed' on my watch will just have to get their OWN candidate in the race first.



Tell ya what.

Instead of complaining that I am not exposing those groups; why don't YOU do it!

You have a LOT more time available than I; for mine is mostly all used exposing the soft underbelly of MORMONism.

Then you should be able to QUICKLY gather the EVIDENCE you've seen and re-post it for the WORLD to see; making ME look a fool.

Sounds like an easy task; eh?

3. It is MORMON 'scripture' and Prophet #2 that condemns them.


The Doctrine and Covenants

Section 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831.
.
.
.
58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.


 

58 Now, as touching the law of the apriesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.

59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was aAaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that bsent me, and I have endowed him with the ckeys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit dsin, and I will justify him.

60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.

61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.

62 And if he have aten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.

63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to amultiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be bglorified.

64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.

65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take aHagar to wife.

66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.




"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
