Joey Smith is the “savior” of the mormons...

The LORD Jesus Christ is the Savior of the Christians...

Romans 16:7
Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

..and then they wrote songs about them, ascribed supernatural powers to them, and followed them forever. Oh wait...

After all, you can't get to into heaven without Joseph Smith punching your ticket.

***

you seem to ignore those under Peter dispensation who need to get through those pearly gates

Since it is impossible for you to try to strive to keep the commandments because it seems you already feel you have your ticket stamped.

So you can just blow off those impossible commandments and the working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

2 Cor. 7: 15

15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

Eph. 6: 5

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Philip. 2: 12

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Sadly this will all go over many head!

I couldn’t say for sure if you’ve saved a sheep this evening or not. but IF you rightly divided the scriptures,which I know you don’t,

How do you know this? The ruins of the Reformation and the rubble of the Restoration are littering the the theological landscape. It is the Catholic Church which remains true; the doctrines of men come and go like tides in the ocean. How can you say that you know?

God will turn His attention back to the Kingdom.

So what's He doing now? Poker tournaments? Getting His card on the PGA tour?

[Mad Dawg]

Just how did Jesus "lose" His Bride ???

I dunno. Carelessness? Thinking about something else? Inattentiveness?

You know, maybe he was watching too much football and not enough movies with, you know, relationships and bonnets and period costumes. Brides like that kind of stuff, though nobody knows why.

Maybe it was the fishing. You know, the whole "fishers of men" thing? And she's like, "Oh, so you're going FISHING again, you and those guys, right? And I'm here at home? What's UP with that?"

Nope, somehow I don't guess any of those could be the answer. I give up.

Or maybe he didn't lose her. maybe that's it ....

I suppose you do keep all the commandments? Remember,God's standard is perfection. Either you get a 4.0 or you fail.

It has become abundantly clear that you................

[MarkBsnr]

Amen; you Flying Inman grafted in wannabe!

Think of me as Joe Walsh to your Eagles. :)

[MarkBsnr]

What was it that the charlatan Joey Smith was suppose to have "restored" ???

His bank account and harem. What else does a dude need? :)

[Mrs. Don-o]

Hm. I must be slow this morning. Andronicus and Junias?

[T Minus Four]

Yes :-) My point was that we can praise people for good jobs, show appreciation, applaud, award medals, etc without turning them into a glorified human.

When I was Mormon, the teachers of Mormonism just ripped at Catholics- called them the great harlot.

Why did you not report this kind of talk to the Bishop or the stake president for it is not doctrine that was being taught.

People should not be bring their personal bagage into the class room if it is contrary to the teaching of the Stamdard works!

You know members of a church come from all walks of life types of background and having their hang ups and if they can not edify and teach by the spirit of the Lord or stick to the doctrine they need to be reported.

[MarkBsnr]

There you have what a man who love His Heavenly Father and commune with Him.

So Heavenly Father and Joseph Smith were communists? I suppose so: Joseph Smith was willing to share everything that everyone else had.

you can just blow off ...the working out your own salvation with fear and trembling

Are you kidding? Do you know how hard it was for me to let go of the "control" I had in my life and turn it over to Jesus? I am the original control freak. There was an enormous amount of fear. I'd read, study, pray - maybe not literal trembling but my soul was.

Once my head got wrapped around the truth, it took months to allow my heart to let go.

And then it happened and everything in my life is now divided into before and after. I will never be afraid again! And I will never be alone. I am not the same person.

through God all things are possible!

Do you thing just because you believe, you can escape judgment day?

Is this what you are going to tell the Lord

Look here Jesus Remember,God’s standard is perfection. Either you get a 4.0 or you fail.

Resty, your new tagline is interesting.
