Have no doubt. Christianity is under attack on all fronts, all over the world.
From simple ridicule, to boycotts, to....ultimately, jail & execution.
We should stand guard against those who seek to divide Christian against Christian.
Do not be deceived. All those who believe that Jesus was Christ, and
that he died for our sins, are Christians. They are our brothers in Christ.
Do not be divided against them.
Merry Christmas.
All those that believe Joseph Smith's approval is needed to get into Heaven have been LIED to.
All those that believe Joseph Smith was correct when said that Christ's blood is NOT sufficient to cover some sins have been DECEIVED.
All those that believe Joseph Smith 'restored' Christianity to what it was in the early days are abysmally uninformed.
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?

"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)
...better hope they are RIGHT!
