When asked, Jesus clearly said that it wasn't even His to give but the Father's.
That's news to me and one of the reasons I keep up with these threads, sometimes late and sometimes even days late but I eventually get to them and try to read all the replies. Just when I think I know all of mormon's atrocious, even blasphemous beliefs, I learn something new.
The Republican party has chosen someone who swallows all this nonsense to be their presidential candidate.
This election is in God's hands, as they all are but I have a strong sense that He's telling me to vote for neither evil and that's what I will do, I'll vote for Virgil Goode or that Tom fellow FReeper, I don't remember his last name.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Yon CANNOT be meaning our precious Book of ABRAHAM!!
--MormonDude(ALL 'egyptologists' are WRONG except Joseph Smith! [except for THIS guy...] )
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?
