I’m holding in my hand my black hardcover copy of Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie, one of Mormonism’s most influential books, an all-time Mormon bestseller, which went out of print this week.
A book written, I’m sure, with the best of intentions by a revered Mormon leader. And, still, a book that continued to circulate even after other high-ranking Mormon leaders recommended more than one thousand corrections to its content.
A book that called Roman Catholicism the “Church of the Devil.” And a book that elevated to doctrinal status non-doctrinal folklore about the origins of the LDS Church’s ban on conveying priesthood authority to members of African descent, claiming that blacks were the descendents of the accursed Cain.
A book that due to its authoritative presentation and doctrinal fundamentalism gave many Mormons reasons for grief.
Mormon Doctrine (1958 – 2010), RIP.

he is sorely tempted to ‘curse God and die’.
Joey gave into that temptation and God oblighed him..
“he is sorely tempted to ‘curse God and die’. Joey gave into that temptation and God oblighed him..”
I am afraid for you that you actually presume to think that you know who is going to hell and who is not.
I wish you would stop condemning people to hell when that is not your job. (Duh.)
Amen!
Gordon B. Hinckley
Oh yeah the guy who freely admitted that the mormon jesus was not the Christian Jesus of the Bible...
The same guy who now knows for certain he was right when he said it and is facing an eternity of regret that he didnt make a wiser choice before he died...
Ok you opened that up...
we can go there ...
Not the same Jesus
“There are those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints do not believe in the traditional Christ.
No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.”
– LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley (LDS Church News, June 20, 1998)
“It is true that many of the Christian churches worship a different Jesus Christ than is worshipped by the Mormons.” – LDS publication, Ensign Magazine, May 1977, p. 26
Then if you dont like the Jesus of the Chjrsitian bible why do you keep hanging out in these threads ???

__________________________________________
Goit a lot of fear dont you ???
That doesnt come from the God of the Chrsitian bible...
Fear comes from Hell...
God does not give us a spirit of fear, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
You better ask the Real God to help you with that fear...
Fear and being afraid is of the devil...
I am afraid for you

How many besides Joey smith do you know of who go arrested several times for vagrancy and being a public nuisance and illegal activities ???
How many fition writers do you knpow who bummed money off other people while he wrote poorly dictioned and poorly grammarized fition that he couldnt sell ???

You don’t have a corner on the Bible the word of God is a gift to all mankind!

Then why isnt it enough for you ???
So it’s SLC’s job?
Why don’t you educate yourself as to the fate of an LdS apostate and then get back with me.
Then we’ll talk about who is condemning who to “hell”, aka the mormon “outer darkness”.
you actually presume to think that you know who is going to hell and who is

Does it upset you that much that I know for sure that I am going to Heaven ???

I am afraid for you that you actually presume to think that you know who is going to hell and who is not.

Thats the kind of thing the devil says...
He hates the assurance of Salvation that Jesus gives me...
“Has God really said you might know whether or not you are going to go to Heaven ?” (Genesis 3)
"Losing the fear of God.....
I have found that the main thing that keeps me in-line is the fear of God. It keeps what I say and do in check."
