These folks still here posted this quote referenced quote during the last election cyle in a Romney debate and I set out to prove them wrong.
""Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet...When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go." (FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408, 409)
I was shocked to find it true, then EACH AND every crazy quote they posted that I checked, IN LDS PUBLISHED BOOKS, for the first time in my life turned out to be true.
Joe Smith, Brigham Young and their comtemporaries DID teach that Jesus was a SINNER, and POLYGAMIST, that the second coming would occur in 1891 (Like Harold Camping), that the atonement was unsufficent for some sins and only the spilling of the sinner's blood could "help" them, that Adam was GOD, that Joe Smith's re-translation of the bible was a fraud so the LDS sect doesn't use it to this day etc....And when I went to my stake president with honest questions, I saw the wicked wolf of mormonism come out from behind the sheep's clothing for the first time.
Mormonism is a cult. A full blown control by guilt to the point of suicide, works righteous heretical CULT.
Only by exposing their secrets to the GOOD VICTIMS who have been DECEIVED BY THE VISCIOUS LIARS who keep them trapped can we help pry them free.
I thank God for Freerepublic and the Christians here who pried me free. Not only that, but they immediately forgave me for the viscious blinded by lies things that I said about them here. I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.
I'm thankful God used a post or two on FR to open your eyes to the HERESY OF MORMONISM - and even more importantly, to the TRUTH of the REAL JESUS CHRIST.
This is so very encouraging to read. I am so happy for both of you and the thousands like you. Almighty God will not mislead you when you seek Him in truth. Praise Him!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a testimony! Praise God for the people He puts in our path and uses to draw us to Him!
