You shouldn't because the response traps you no matter what your answer is.

Which is as absurd as when RCs say the like, as in both cases the assertion rests upon a fallacious premise. Abraham being a prophet of God does not translate into Smith being one, regardless of how much you may want to believe and assert it.

The gospel as restored by the prophet Joseph Smith links all doctrines and commandments of God into one great whole. In other words there's continuity between our doctrine and all the doctrines taught through out the ages from all the true prophets of God.

Which pure propaganda is begging the question. Elitist Smith contradicted Scripture beginning from the time of sppsd encounter with the angel "Moroni," but as with Rome, since the LDS "one true church" is the faithful interpreter then Scripture cannot be allowed to contradict her.

What you won't find is continuity any of the beliefs or belief systems as taught by any of the people currently debating me in these threads.

If you do say so.

I don't have to dodge any historical event or scripture. Nor can any scripture or doctrine trap me because all my doctrine is interlinked.

Pure bombast. You had best dodge the lie of God being an exalted polygamous man via progression to Godhead, of Lucifer being the brother of Christ, or the fantastic fable of an immigration of Hebrews to South America, which supposedly formed a vast society, and that after a tremendous civil war one tribe of this fictitious people is said to have migrated to N. America, even to New York. Etc.

I have two points. First, I don't have dodge these questions but you do. That should be a red flag.

There is no dodge except on your part, but not suffering fools gladly. I asked you right off "Do you really think you can equate Joseph Smith to Abraham? Do you???" which you would not answer, but asked an absurd question based upon another fallacious premise. That is a red flag.

Second, you can't call one man carnal for having multiple wives without calling everyone with multiple wives carnal. Well, unless you openly admit to being a hypocrite.

Which is that fallacious premise, as i nowhere called or argued that Smith was carnal because he was a polygamist. His carnality is abundantly evidenced besides his manner of polygamy, while God always was God, and is not a product of eternal progression, with multiple wives.

The God of Mormonism is not the God of the Bible nor even that of FR. The only flag that you have is that of a false prophet.

Abraham being a prophet of God does not translate into Smith being one, regardless of how much you may want to believe and assert it.

A shallow conclusion.

Abraham was a man and so was Joseph. And one of the attributes of God is that He is:

Acts 10
34 ¶Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

If God is no respecter of persons, then Abraham should be condemned by the same judgement you throw at Joseph Smith. Or is it your conclusion that God can command a prophet to have more than one wife? Or any man for that matter…

Which pure propaganda is begging the question. Elitist Smith contradicted Scripture beginning from the time of sppsd encounter with the angel "Moroni," but as with Rome, since the LDS "one true church" is the faithful interpreter then Scripture cannot be allowed to contradict her.

Why the little digs? It’s a sign of weakness…seriously… “Elitist Smith” does that make you feel better or something? I would love to have at least one civil conversation with someone on this forum… but I doubt it will ever happen.

I have no doubt that Joseph contradicted the meaning you project on scripture.

In everything, God dictates His will to man. God will never accept the will of man given to God. The books of the Bible were mainly written by prophets under the direction of God. However, the list of books that were accepted to be in the Bible was a product of men. There were no prophets present when the Bible was compiled. It is man dictating to God what scripture should be.

And as a result, you have that absolute chaos that is called “Christianity”.

God however, knowing all things, had His prophets compile other books of scripture. This would be a sign of the true Church of God. God giving man scripture not the other way around. Plus the Bible too, because the words written in those Books did come from God and have great worth. But if you take the Bible by itself….well shoot…you’ll come to the wrong conclusion, not be lead to the true of God and end up, well… I don’t know, like grabbing up some poor traveling preacher and throwing him down concrete stairs… or baptizing babies, sprinkling for baptism, ordaining women, thinking you’re already saved, marrying homosexuals, pedophile priests, etc… on and on…

The Book of Mormon together with the Bible and living prophets have perfect continuity.

The RCC is a completely different animal. The RCC has never in any way resembled the Church created by Jesus Christ, in structure or in deed. However, there is only one true Church of God and it is not the RCC or any belief system that can trace it’s roots back to it.

On full display every day.

Acts 10: 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

How is that Jesus had to be anointed by God to do these things? What was He before He was anointed?

There is no dodge except on your part, but not suffering fools gladly. I asked you right off "Do you really think you can equate Joseph Smith to Abraham? Do you???" which you would not answer, but asked an absurd question based upon another fallacious premise. That is a red flag.

Your spurious over-use of the words “fallacious and absurd” is both tedious and tiresome.

If you expect an answer to a question, then ask it as a question and not as a rhetorical response to a question of mine.

Your arrogance in calling me a fool has really taken away any desire to continue conversing with you…

Have a good day.
