I appreciate your fervor & respect your beliefs but your indignant tone does you a disservice when faced w/ viable alternatives to you beliefs. Reno 232 Written like a true blind servant of Satan! Indignant? HAH! How about get thee behind us, Satan!
This Mormon poster wants all to consider Mormonism the most pure restored form of Christianity. The poster makes post after post seeking to sow doubt and create confusion for a new Christian, a weak Christian, or a seeker about Christ, into which doubt the Mormonism Apologists are quick to spread their demon seed of Mormonism and Joseph Smithism heresies. Let no one doubt these apologists are all about trying to destroy any good seed which may have fallen upon stony ground or amongst weeds, to be supplanted with the fertile heresies of Mormonism. Mormonism is not Christianity; Mormonism is a false look-a-like using the name Jesus Christ as a means to fool the unwary and stumble those weak in their faith of Jesus Christ. 'Viable alternatives'? That is the stuff of demonic work, seeking to sow doubt and confusion, clearly.
This is why I actually believe that GOOD for the glory of God will come out of Mitt Romney running for President. First of all, REAL Mormon doctrine (not the milk in the Book of Mormon that the LDS Church doesn't even follow) is being exposed RIGHT HERE and many other places. Many uninformed people are asking "so, what DOES the LDS Church teach?" and they are finding out. Finding out now before the 2 guys in suits knocks on their door can only help to equip them with the truth and help them to avoid falling for the "bait and switch" game the LDS Church plays.
As the unorthodox beliefs of the LDS Church become MAINSTREAM knowledge, they will have a very hard time gaining new converts, except for those born into the Church. Heck, they are already having a very hard time and their growth rate has been dropping dramatically. This will only increase now.
Ultimately, with more of their dirty laundry aired, the LDS Church will have little choice if they continue to desire to be considered a "Christian" church. They will have to continue backing off their doctrines that are in direct contradiction to orthodox Christianity. When you think about it, the LDS Church has been trying to move closer to Christianity ever since getting rid of polygamy. Offering priesthood to blacks is a major example, as is the altering of their temple ceremonies.
The parts of the LDS temple ceremonies that were most offensive to Christians and publicized WERE REMOVED without notice by the LDS Church. The implications for Mormons here is enormous. If the previous temple ceremony was indeed given by God, then the LDS Church had no business changing it. If the ceremony was in error, then that means Joseph Smith was in error when he set it up in the first place. It would also mean that the Christians who were saying "Hey, that is outrageous!" were RIGHT and the LDS Church was WRONG. Again, that would mean Christians have a better knowledge of what God wants in a Mormon temple ceremony than the Mormon Church itself.
Just as the RLDS Church has moved in the direction of becoming a more Christian church, I see the LDS Church doing the same, and Romney's running can only expedite the move, even if indirectly and unintentionally.
Galatians 5:22-23 “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law”.
I’ve told you before MHG, I won’t play in the sandbox w/ you. I have endeavored to have reasoned discussions w/ a few on this thread. I will let those who have been reading along & participating, to judge the fruits of the spirit as described above in Galatians as they may pertain to me & then invite all to judge the fruits of the spirit as they may pertain to your post.
The main theme of most of my posts is to pray to the Father in the name of the Son for answers, & by power of the Holy Ghost, those answers will come. If you feel that’s demonic, or that my questions ilicit evil spirits, sobeit. let all judge as they may.
Matt.7:20 “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”.
Regardless of my disagreements w/ you, I harbor no ill wishes towards you, in fact as my brother, I wish you the very best. But I’m no longer disposed to play in the sandbox, even w/ my brother.
