The light of Christ cannot be extinguished by the acts of mortal man no matter how brutal times may have been. Men of Christ carried on, endured through the mayhem foist upon the rapidly growing faith by the evil one.

You seem stuck on the concept that anyone calling themselves Christian is accepted by God and that's completely false.

And you completely missed the point of Amos 8. Amos doesn't refer to a time when no one will call themselves Christians. On the contrary he describes people actively searching the world for the (true) word of God and not finding it.

Amos describes it as a famine. And like any famine it has a start and an ending. Meaning that the true gospel would be brought back to the earth.

Revelation 11 discusses two prophets that will come before the second coming and be killed in Jerusalem. Modern churches teach their followers that there are no more prophets. Just like you do.

They will not have just sprung up out of no where. They will have been teaching for awhile. And if they are on the earth now, you're actively teaching people that these two prophets are false prophets...right? You're fighting against true prophets of God...
Man...that's not a place I'd want to be.

Kinda like laughing at Noah right before the rain starts ...ya know? Just a thought...

Sorry; you are wrong.

You need to quit listening to LDS sources and get out and actually find out for yourself what 'modern churchs' teach.

You'd be amazed!

(Yes; they WILL accept you into their midst; and you can go into ANY of their services without being RECOMMENDED by some man somewhere.)

While Joseph Smith listened to FALSE messengers.

DEFINITELY a bad idea!

Again still not answering my questions, but so be it.

You are correct, not everyone claiming the name Christian is one, but the individual who accepts God's Grace and the Gift of his son can easily and truly claim the name, .

As far as Amos as well as the two prophets you mention, when that time comes, those will be fulfilled, and in the fullness of time it will happen, but not quite yet. And modern churches do not teach that there are no more prophets, indeed that was a topic of discussion in a class at my church some months ago. Indeed God has spoken through many great Men (something you acknowledged)

What I will tell you is that when the two prophets, or any others for that matter, come, like those before them, they will bring us God's Word that will be consistent as it has for the entirety of man's relationship with the Almighty. There will be no radical departures, no hard turns to the left or right, no complete changes to the nature of God or his plans. There will be no need for “new revisions” to God's already existing word, for like all those before they will be a part of the ongoing story of the work of the Lord in our lives.

So I am not teaching against any true prophet of God by any means, indeed quite the opposite, I fight to expose those who claim that title for their own ends, those who take and twist and revise God's word to fit their own purposes, not his. I fight against those who claim the title and name of Christ all the while redefining the already defined in a effort to promote and support Earthly desires. That is a place I am proud to be and a position I am finding easy to defend simply by using their own words.

The false prophet Joseph Smith is a “true prophet of god”

Which of the millions of mormon gods would that be ???

The latest in a long line of fat cat “mormon prophets” living high off the hog in Salt Lake City on the little people’s 10% tithe ????

Munson????

Grasshopper, Smith, Young, Munson and all the rest of those white washed sepulchres were not “true prophets of god”

Who feeds you all this garbage ???
