***Hard to believe that other “Christians” are so negative.***
We ‘other “Christians”’ are not the ones who started this fight back in 1820’s when a backwoods rube walked out of the woods and declared all other churches wrong and he had talked to God and seen angels and had found a gold book that only he could translate and if you didn’t believe every word HE said you would be sorry because HE would stand at the door of Heaven and keep everyone out who didn’t believe what HE said.
Whew!
Whew!
No one started a fight after all these years how dare the Lord start telling those who's allegiants to the Traditions of their fathers now be corrected by the Lord himself how intrusive of him!
Wow I pray not all will are so willing to kill God's messengers aka prophets!

Journal of Discourses, Vol. 8, p. 176: "Whosoever... does not confess that God has sent Joseph Smith, and revealed the everlasting Gospel to and through him, is of Antichrist...," Brigham Young Oh please not this again so you don't think it is Joseph Smith a prophet of Jesus Christ, I do!

Journal of Discourses, Volume 7, page 289: "Joseph Smith holds the keys of this last dispensation, ... that no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith,.. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation-the keys to rule in the spirit-world; and he rules there triumphantly, for he gained full power He reigns there as supreme a being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven. Many will exclaim-"Oh, that is very disagreeable! It is preposterous! We cannot bear the thought!" But it is true" So there you have it again...JS is/has compared himself equal to God.
Bingo...
Interesting that mormon leaders have been exceedingly "negative" about Christians for over 150 years, but that is, to mormon FReepers perfectly acceptable, and they themselves are free to continually personally attack other FReepers without consequence.
Interesting that gypjet signed up in August and this is his/her one and only post. Signs of a retread, perhaps?
As far as I know, you weren’t there in the 1820s. I’m talking now. I wouldn’t EVER say anything bad about your religion. I just expect the same from the people, I consider follow my beliefs since we visit the same site.
Joseph Smith said that? I don't think so. Do you have link for that?
