Anti-Mormons are not the ones that started this fight way back in the 1820s when some dude from the backwoods of New York claimed to have found golden plates and then started attacking all other churches.
If you read carefully it was not some dude from upstate NY who made those comments, it was the Lord himself who was once again preparing to restoring his Church on earth and needed to get a few things straight before proceeding.
Isa. 29: 13.
13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
I know the world consensus is up set with this but who are in Charge here some Men in 325 AD our Jesus Christ himself!
Now I know many for what ever reason feel differently but there are about 13 millions of us who did receive a witness from the Lord!
***Now I know many for what ever reason feel differently but there are about 13 millions of us who did receive a witness from the Lord!***
And did the Montanists, the Marcionites, Paulicians, Donatists, Caprocrations and Cathari also receive the “witness of the Lord” as they all claimed?
And that is just the “short” list.
>I know the world consensus is up set with this but who are in Charge here some Men in 325 AD our Jesus Christ himself!
Please elaborate! Did a small group of men conspire to make Jesus into God, instead of merely a god? Reading too much Dan Brown lately?
>Now I know many for what ever reason feel differently but there are about 13 millions of us who did receive a witness from the Lord!
And all the Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists, Daoists, Shinto, etc. all stand up and say the same thing. There are certainly more of each of these religions who claim to have a divine revelation. So how are we to judge your witness?
Galatians 1:7-10
7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15
14. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
If one believes the Bible is correct, then, by that Standard, Mormonism fails the test.
If, however, you are convinced that the Bible is either in error, been corrupted or mis-interpreted, then you are free to believe whatever you wish.

“Now I know many for what ever reason feel differently but there are about 13 millions of us who did receive a witness from the Lord!”
I love that claim for so many reasons!
1. “13 millions” - this is a claim that is unsubstantiated
in any way. This -> MAY <- be the number on the membership
rolls, but is:
a. unverifiable by any independent & objective source
b. unverifiable that each had “a witness”
c. since mormonism contradicts scripture, the “witness”
was not “from the Lord”. Perhaps his brother...
2. “If you read carefully it was not some dude from upstate NY who made those comments, it was the Lord himself who was once again preparing to restoring his Church on earth and needed to get a few things straight before proceeding.”
I love this claim for so many reasons!
a. It is unverifiable by any outside, objective source
b. It violates scripture in so many ways
c. It demeans God
Thanks Resty! A wonderful spoof to brighten this thread.
