“I assume your LDS family loves Christ as well? Shouldn’t that be enough ??”
WHICH CHRIST?
That doesn’t mean I am not allowed to disagree with the theology.
First of all, NO ONE is allowed to disagree with mormon theology according to them! Secondly, you are a lowly APOSTATE and as such will be sent into eternal darkness
WHAT? You thought it was like leaving a Christian church or something?
I have a declaration to make as to the provisions which God hath made to suit the conditions of man—made from before the foundation of the world. What has Jesus said? All sins, and all blasphemies, and every transgression, except one, that man can be guilty of, may be forgiven; and there is a salvation for all men, either in this world or the world to come, who have not committed the unpardonable sin, there being a provision either in this world or the world of spirits. Hence God hath made a provision that every spirit in the eternal world can be ferreted out and saved unless he has committed that unpardonable sin which cannot be remitted to him either in this world or the world of spirits. God has wrought out a salvation for all men, unless they have committed a certain sin; and every man who has a friend in the eternal world can save him, unless he has committed the unpardonable sin. And so you can see how far you can be a savior.
A man cannot commit the unpardonable sin after the dissolution of the body, and there is a way possible for escape. Knowledge saves a man; and in the world of spirits no man can be exalted but by knowledge. So long as a man will not give heed to the commandments, he must abide without salvation. If a man has knowledge, he can be saved; although, if he has been guilty of great sins, he will be punished for them. But when he consents to obey the gospel, whether here or in the world of spirits, he is saved.
A man is his own tormentor and his own condemner. Hence the saying, They shall go into the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. The torment of disappointment in the mind is as exquisite as a lake burning with fire and brimstone. I say, so is the torment of man.
I know the scriptures and understand them. I said, no man can commit the unpardonable sin after the dissolution of the body, nor in this life, until he receives the Holy Ghost; but they must do it in this world. Hence the salvation of Jesus Christ was wrought out for all men, in order to triumph over the devil; for if it did not catch him in one place, it would in another; for he stood up as a Savior. All will suffer until they obey Christ himself.
The contention in heaven was—Jesus said there would be certain souls that would not be saved; and the devil said he would save them all, and laid his plans before the grand council, who gave their vote in favor of Jesus Christ. So the devil rose up in rebellion against God, and was cast down, with all who put up their heads for him. (Book of Moses—Pearl of Great Price, Ch. 4:1–4; Book of Abraham, Ch. 3:23–28.) [Moses 4:1–4; Abr. 3:23–28]
No man can sin against light until he has it; nor against the Holy Ghost, until after he has received it by the gift of God through the appointed channel or way. To sin against the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the Witness of the Father and the Son, wilfully denying him and defying him, after having received him, constitutes [the unpardonable sin]. 16 If any people on earth are capable of committing the unpardonable sin, you will find them among those who have, or will, come to a knowledge of the truth. … You and I have received the light. We have received the Holy Priesthood. We have received the testimony of the Holy Spirit, and have been brought from death unto life. Therefore, we are now on very safe or on dangerous ground,—dangerous if we are trifling with these sacred things that have been committed to our care. Hence I warn you, my brethren and sisters, especially my brethren, against trifling with your [priesthood]. … If you do, as God lives He will withdraw His Spirit from you, and the time will come when you will be found kicking against the light and knowledge which you have received, and you may become sons of perdition. Therefore, you had better beware lest the second death shall be passed upon you.
How many do you have?
That was a bit rambly. But I’ll give you points for italics and bold.
Well, points from you are very hard to come by, so thanks.
You should ask a mormon that question. They’re the ones with the god/jesus identity crisis.
What was I thinking?
You’re absolutely correct. Anything I have to say regarding mormonism is cause for outright dismissal and scorn because of my status as an apostate.
Thanks for reminding me. I’ll try to remember my place next time.
Oh, I'm sure our resident scold will remind you of your place..again and again and again....;)
youre an apostate ex-mo and I get remionded that i never have been a motmon...
I wonder if ex-Presbyterians have any credibility ???
230
I’ve never read the application...
How could he be? He hadn’t been baptized by the proper ‘authority’.
Orthodox Jews have a sore spot on anything Holocaust/Nazi related...but that is not Torah related, it’s PERSONAL....magritte
- - - -
Um....I’m a CHRISTIAN and I have a huge ‘sore spot’ when it comes to anything Holocaust/Nazi related. It is PERSONAL for me too.
I lost my grandmother and one aunt in the camps. My father and another aunt survived. My Grandfather survived a work camp.
List goes on and on. Stealing for Jesus cuts all faiths. One of the worst forms of “lying for the Lord.”
- - - -
But Mormons have it as part of their Scriptures (Book of Moses where GOD commands Abraham to lie) and a vast and common practice (I was even taught it in mission prep class).
Bob Millet is a great proponent of it. Lie, lie, lie just to make ‘the church’ look good.
Christians condemn (or should) Baker and Swaggart and many other televangelists as well so your pathetic attempt at equating the two won’t fly.
Smith was bapitised by Cowdery whom did not possess any priesthood authority...
Oh noez..
and then after that Smith turned around and baptised Cowdrey...again with no priesthood authority...
They are all suppose to pass on “through laying on of hands” some “authority”
but nobody had it to start with...
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Dont tell em that Elsies goatz haz more authority and power to make holey than the mormon pesthood holder haz...
LOL
“WHICH CHRIST?
“How many do you have?
I have but One - the Biblical Jesus Christ, eternally God, neither created, nor made, Second Person of the Triune Godhead.
The mormonites have a different jesus - a created spirit being, just like anyone and just like satan, who became a man, and later became one of the trillions of gods in the mormonite pantheon of gods.
Which do you worship?
But an apricot makes no sense.
Yea, but apricots make really great jam.
Jim Bakker is back in the high life again. Thanks to his donors. And his phone banks, although not nearly as $ucce$$ful as prior to his conviction and sentence. Revived by a Christian millionaire from near Branson MO. And his continued success is due to Christian donors. Just sayin’. Stealing for Jesus is a wealth enterprise.
Stealing for Allah is a wealth enterprise. Oft times $ ops run from our nations prisons. Doubt if there is any religion that doesn’t practice $same.
I once took a Rabbi to prison. Life is strange. People in it stranger...And mankind is motivated by $$....
