Israel is apostate, rebellious, and corrupt; a very small remnant only is faithful—Their sacrifices and feasts are rejected—They are called upon to repent and work righteousness—Zion shall be redeemed in the day of restoration.
Isaiah 1
25 ¶ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Matt 17
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
First: The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
___________________________________________________
Blasphemeous lie...
Second: The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
_________________________________________
Maybe so to duped mormons...
But the Bible is the most vital work of all...
the so called “prophet” is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list...
Third: The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
___________________________________________
Ol’ dead Joey Smith is rolling in his grave...
and none of the mormon “prophets” dead or alive are important to God...
Fourth: The prophet will never lead the Church astray.
____________________________________________
A REAL prophet would not have...
The prophets of the Bible had respect for God...
and God would have got him...
But Joey Smith and his cabal were never and are not now prophets...
The filthy rich thieves and conmen in Temple Square are not prophets of the God of the Bible...
Fifth: The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
_____________________________________________
And yet the REAL apostle Paul never spoke about Jesus until he had been trained by God for FOURTEEN years...
BTW Resty, next time you need major surgery, call one of these guys...
Do you know why Israel no longer has sacrifices?
Sixth: The prophet does not have to say “Thus saith the Lord” to give us scripture.
_______________________________________________
Well, Tolstoy didnt have to say “Thus saith the Loed” to write “War and Peace”...
But what he wrote was closer to “scripture” than what a mormon “prophet” has to say...
Seventh: The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
_________________________________________________
Now this one has some merit...
The so called “prophet Joey Smith told us EVERYTHING we needed to know about himself and his phony religion to determine he was a fake and a charlatan...
And Young and the rest or the cabal reaffirmed that mormonism is not akin to Christianity
Actually we also get “what we want to know” regardless of the cover ups..
Eighth: The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
___________________________________________
Joey Smith was criminally insane..
Ninth: The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
_______________________________________________
Why would a “prophet” need revelation from God about a temporal matter...
Just read the instructions that came on the box...
And voila a bicycle...
Tenth: The prophet may be involved in civic matters.
___________________________________________
This was to cover Smith’s coveting the presidency of the United States...
His crowning himself “king of the world”...
And his unfit office of “mayor” or Nauvoo...
Eleventh: The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
____________________________________________________
1. Smith never met a rich man that he turned away...he usually gave them a high office...
They could buy their “salvation”
2. the learned bit was because educated men who could read the Bible, and knew that Smith was not of God, and rejected Smith and his fraudulant religion...
However Smith needed some of them to help write his fairy tale so he kept the ones he could flatter...like Oliver Cowdery...
3. Proud...well that let’s out ol’ Smith himself...Smith was proud, boastful...
Oh, wait Smith had trouble following his own prophecies...
Make that one a yes...
Twelfth: The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
____________________________________________
Oh, I dunn know...
Ted Bundy was rebaptised by the mormons recently...and given temple endowments...
Twelfth: The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
____________________________________________
Ya think ????
Murderers and thieves and debaucherers usually are not popular...
Joey Smith was all those evil things and more...
Joey Smith loved himself and that was more than enough lovin’ for him...
Thirteenth: The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
_________________________________________
Until they all run away from the “prophet” and then he has to go after them with his Danites..
Yes, Smith was not a popular guy...
Men do get mad when a prophet steals their wives...
and scams them for their life savings...
Why would that be ???
Fourteenth: The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed; reject them and suffer.
___________________________________________________________
Jesus must have laughed when He read this blasphemy...
HALF-truth time; Resty??
10. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
