Mormons (LDS) Know More About Bible Than Other Christians

your mind is already made up

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Are you talking about the Lynn Ridenhour who has disassociated himself from lds in 2005?

But of course your mind is already made up. How sad. You will continue to condemn Mormons without knowing the Truth.

How do you know that I haven't explored Mormonism thoroughly? In my years in graduate school, I spend hundreds of hours in discussions with Mormons and many hours reading the materials that they suggested I read. Most of it was official LDS publications or literature from groups closely aligned with the LDS church (even if it was not official). Obviously, none of it was intentional "anti" material but actually it turned out to be. If a well-grounded Christian reads Mormon literature with care, the errors of Mormonism are apparent as several people have pointed out when you printed the Articles of Faith of the LDS "church".

A Southern Baptist pastor named Lynn Ridenhour read the Book of Mormon and discovered the Truth.

What's that prove? The Bible tells us that several followers of Jesus left Him. I could just as easily claim that Mr. Ridenhour is just a modern-day example of false followers of the truth falling away.

You will continue to condemn Mormons without knowing the Truth.

We've been through this before. I don't condemn Mormons, I condemn Mormonism, I don't condemn Muslims, I condemn Islam. It is the evil systems that blind people to the true Jesus Christ that I condemn, not the victims. By the way, the true Jesus Christ, not the fiction of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

Oops. Saundra, you're going to have to find a new hero.

A Southern Baptist pastor named Lynn Ridenhour read the Book of Mormon and discovered the Truth; mixed in with a bunch of lies.

---

Lynn Ridenhour has been a Baptist Minister for over 39 years, exercising the gifts of the Spirit and living by faith.

 

Having been numbered among the avidly anti-Mormon-cult crowd, he was miraculously converted to the gospel according to Joseph Smith upon reading the Book of Mormon.

 

He joined the LDS church for a few years but presently is disassociated so as to not be unfettered in his ministry.

 

Yet he retains his commitment to the restoration gospel, though certainly not ignorant of the saints shortcomings in regard to their magnificent destiny.

 

His primary gift and mission in life seems to be to stir the coals of revival among the charismatic-inclined who are numbered among the various restoration movements.

Ephesians 4:11-16 

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

 

 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.

This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.

well you antis Reader’s Digest version of the scriptures are a good testament to that!

[restornu]

in your dreams along with your imitation of what is a Christian!

You antis follow a boorish jesus....

Sadly you antis have no clue about the God of Love!

[svcw]

Huh?
lds jesus loves only with conditions attached. IE After all you can do.
The Biblical Jesus loves without conditions, He wishes none to parish.
lds jesus assigns people to different levels of glory after he gets Joseph Smith's approval that is.
The Biblical Jesus wants us all to be with Him, He and He alone is sufficient.

So the lds jesus, a created one or the Biblical Jesus the Eternal One...........lds say our jesus could never love you, Christians say our Jesus already loves you..........the choice is evident, except to the blinded heart..

[Invincibly Ignorant]

You do realize that lol is not a real word don't you?

Thanx for that. Its a joy to finally learn something from your posts. lol.

[svcw]

Then based on your reply you get an F because you learned nothing.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“The Christian Community is laboring under false assumptions about Mormons.”

Empty claims. Show us which assumptions are “false”.

in your dreams along with your imitation of what is a Christian! You antis follow a boorish jesus....Sadly you antis have no clue about the God of Love!

Thanks for the wonderful example of how to state something in love. (/sarcasm)

Here is his web site, why anyone with a brain would want to claim him as their own is way beyond my comprehension. He truly is a loon.

Explains the flirtation with Mormonism and fascination with restoration movements in general. They seem popular with that mind set. Something stokes the ego when one can demote God a little while “raising themselves above” real Christianity...

I bet he is an arrogant little bugger too...
