Before I ever jointed I did extensive investigation on the LDS and other faiths also...

I know for a fact that mainstream seminaries has danced around the doctrines of the Lord maybe because some after after so many years what has been passed on many were so entrench in tradition never gave it a thought.

But I care not what others thinks I choose to go to the source and that is God and his written word.

When one hears truth and is a truth seeker they know their Master voice

I had combed the earth for almost 2 decades and I am so thankful the Lord gave me an excellent tour of what is out there but what belongs to him is unmistakable there are imitators and deceivers galore

One of the first things I understood was the war in Heaven and the fall of Lucifer and the promise that the opposition would in the latter days would seek control of world economics and as I witness in 2010 it is very clear now what rang so true to me it is endless what the Holy Ghost has witness to me.

So many here scoff and mocked this revelation and even today they will deny it because it would mean they would have to admit they were wrong!

But I care not what others thinks I choose to go to the source and that is God and his written word.

TOO bad that is NOT what THESE guys did!!!

1 Timothy 3:2-3
2. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3. not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

1 Timothy 3:12
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.

Titus 1:6
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

BEHOLD!!!! The Restorative Power of the Book of Mormon!!

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

“But I care not what others thinks I choose to go to the source and that is God and his written word.”

Resty, based on several years of reading your posts, I have yet to see you post a single verse where it was apparent that you understood the context or meaning.

In fact, they mean something quite different than you claim!

"I know for a fact that mainstream seminaries has danced around the doctrines..."

That's some pretty aggressive boasting you have going on right there. You've attended EVERY "mainstream" church and have studied their doctrines enough to be able to lay that absurd claim in this forum?

Also, and more importantly, a severe accusation against all "mainstream" religions and churches considering the LdS are never included in your definition of "mainstream".

Do you have ANY PROOF to substantiate that claim?

I didn't think so.
