Then why even use the bible, with the letters of Paul, in your church, modified or not.
I agree with you, the words in Amos are true, and will be when that day finally comes, which it has yet to do. The word did not leave the Earth with Christ, it became one with his peoples spirit.
Can you show me scripture that says the sun went down at noon the day Jesus died on the cross ???
There was darkness, but the sun did not go down at noon...
The sun didnt go anywhere...
Just darkness..that was not a darkness of night...or absense of the sun came ...
...and the DARKNESS He called NIGHT Genesis 1:5
Night in the Greek is nux..just meaning “night” or “midnight”
The darkness that was over the earth when Jesus died is not called NIGHT in the scriptures..
That DARKNESS is skotos in the Greek..from skia...
skia...shade, darkness of error, shadow
skotos...shadiness, obsurity, darkness
The Scriptures dont mention NIGHT or the absense of the sun...
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:45
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Mark 15:33
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Luke 23:44
Actually the sun does not “go down”
God knows how His solar system works He designed it...
God made the sun and set the planets twirling around it..
But the false prophet Joseph Smith didnt know that nor did he talk to God to find out .. more “worthy ignorance” ????
And so, you get all this dumb “interpretation”
The false prophet Joseph Smith taught there were people living on the moon and Brigham Young agreed and declared there were people living on the sun also...
According to Oliver B. Huntington, Joseph Smith taught that “The inhabitants of the moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the earth, being about 6 feet in height.
“They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style, or fashion of dress.
“They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years.
“This is the description of them as given by Joseph the seer, and he could `See’ whatever he asked the father in the name of Jesus to see,” (Journal of Oliver B. Huntington, Vol. 3, p. 166; as recorded at the Utah State Historical Society).
Oliver B. Huntington wrote the proceeding statement in 1881. In 1892 he made a similar statement in the Young Woman’s Journal, a church publication:
“Astronomers and philosophers have, from time almost immemorial until very recently, asserted that the moon was uninhabited, that it had no atmosphere, etc. But recent discoveries, through the means of powerful telescopes, have given scientists a doubt or two upon the old theory.
“Nearly all the great discoveries of man in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a Prophet.
“As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to be a greater age than we do, that they lived generally to near the age of 1000 years.
“He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style.
“In my Patriarchal blessing, given by the father of Joseph the Prophet, in Kirtland, 1937, I was told that I should preach the gospel to the inhabitants of the sea — to the inhabitants of the moon, even the planet you can now behold with your eyes,” (Vol. 3, pp. 263-264).
“Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening called the moon? ...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain,” (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 217).
The false prophet Joseph Smith never bothered to consult god about anything that would bring a rebuke...
Jam 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4, 5
God keeps no secrets ...
Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jer 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7, 8
That’s why Christians have confidence in God that mormons dont appear to understand..
Psa 116:1I love the LORD, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Psa 116:2 Because He hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1, 2
