The Truth hurts resty. The Truth hurts.
Mormonism is a lie. You believe a lie.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:1 KJV)
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 KJV)
Bump Dat...
Now since I believe the Bible to be the bench mark or foundation that is what I build upon and draw from.
the things you are quoting me is a warning to those who are unclean and they will be taken over by a dilussion.
or also as in Romans 1 as well a 1 Tim. 4 and it is the natural man many of those thing described here I have witness from many posters and when broght to their attention they get insense about it instead seeing a few of the areas they feel they do not have to do better in.
Some even go so far to think they have grace which covers the mutitude of these flaws in character, they feel it is find to cause their brother to fall from their unkindness saying it is the truth.
Well it is the Holy Spirit that teaches truth and it is throught the atonement Jesus Christ that enables man to improve his nature.
As far as one 1 Tim 4 and Romans 1 as I said the Bible was my benchmark when I came upon Moroni 10 I did kneel and humble myself unto the Lord having a sincere heart, and a desire to know about the Book of Mormon so I prayed to my Heavenly Father and asked in the Name of Jesus Christ if the Book of Mormon was true I was answered by the power of the Holy Ghost that came upon me and I receive a joy that was beyond words even till this day I shall never forget.
I really never expected such a conformation and I am truly thankful.
I recognized that spirit from when I would read certain passage in the Bible the Lord would witness to me.
I also know after my baptism that feeling of cleaness and that I was shown things that I have seen before but with new eyes and what was pleasing the Lord and offense to the Lord.
I know beyond a doubt this is the Lord Church and I have received blessing and answers to many of my quest and I know when the Lord is not as near and I know by repentance and I feel the sweet embrace of the Lord. No longer do I walk this journey alone.
Moroni 10
3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.
7 And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.
Romans 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 Tim 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer
