Muslims say this...
Hindus say this...
Buddhists say this...
Wiccans say this...
Atheists say this as well.
It matters NOT how ASSURED you are that you are right; mere ASSURANCE in your own mind does NOT make it right.
I really doubt if ALL of these folks are going to get in; just becvause they were so SURE!
Oh shut UP!
I think it is a shame though that PRO-ponents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spend so much time and effort trying to convince anyone who will listen to them that LDS is the ONLY path, and to rely on them for their salvation!
You should have posted THESE verses; but then that would have shown your premise to be wrong...
Matthew 13:24-30
Jesus told them another parable:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared."The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'
" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
It's what we're all supposed to do. This sounds more like you don't like being defeated....
ROTFL!!! You are the bestest R and I love you TOO!
“I think it is a shame though that opponents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would spend so much time and effort trying to convince anyone who will listen to them that LDS don’t believe in Jesus Christ and rely on him for their salvation. That’s plain false.”
No, Normandy, your statement is false.
The mormon cult opponents state clearly that the Jesus Christ mormonism teaches is NOT the Jesus Christ of the Bible. I believe by now, you know that.
Let me state it as clearly as I can:
The LDS (mormons) believe in a FALSE Christ, who is a created being who worked his way up to being one of the four mormon earth gods.
That is the Jesus mormons are “relying on for salvation”.
False Christs cannot save.
best,
ampu
I sure HOPE we do!
WE are sowing TRUTH among falsehood and LIGHT among darkness!
What's NOT to like??

“Paul says the fruit of the spirit is “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22-23) Those fruits are not in evidence in these spiteful attacks.”
I would agree, if they were “spiteful attacks” - they are not.
Normandy, when Paul wrote that he wished the legalists would cut off their whole “unit”, did that reflect the fruit of the Spirit, or was it spiteful?
It is taqiyya to say that it is all that the LDS believe.
It is tacky-of-ya to say that it is all that the LDS believe.
Even if you could prove it, who cares. All it proves is that....you did it. Anybody can go through the motions.

(((hugs))) back atcha :-)
LOL!!!
Boy, isn't that the truth.
Oops, sorry RM, I posted several replies before I saw this.
When a mormon talks about Jesus, they have yet to provide a satisfactory reply or explanation about the differences in the nature or characteristics displayed in the BoM vs. the Bible. I don't believe anyone has tried to say you don't believe in A Jesus and rely on him for your salvation, the question is...
Which Jesus are you speaking of?
In the Book of Mormon, Jesus brought death and destruction with him to the Cross. In 3 Nephi, Chapters 8 and 9, it details the events testifying of Christ's crucifixion. It describes the desolation of the great city of Zarahemla by fire, and the city of Moroni "did sink into the sea and the inhabitants thereof were drowned... the earth was carried up upon the city of Mornihah...there was great and terrible destruction in the land southward......terrible destruction in the land northward....the highways were broken up....many great and noble cities were sunk and many burned and many shaken till the buildings thereof had fallen to the earth.....all these great and terrible things were done in the space of three hours."
Here are links to the Official LdS BoM chapters that detail these events:
3 Nephi, Chapter 9, tells of further wrath as the Lord also destroyed the cities and inhabitants of Gigal, Onihah, Mocum, Jerusalem, Gadiandi, Gadiomnah, Jacob, Gimgimmo, Jacobugath, Laman, Josh, Gad, and Kishkumen. (a total of 16 major cities) Who did all this killing to testify of our Lord's atonement on Calvary?
3 Nephi 9:15 reveals the murderer of approximately 2 million innocent inhabitants of the Book of Mormon lands, "Behold, I am Jesus Christ the son of God. I created the heavens and the earth and all things that in them are." He adds, (in verse 21), "behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world to save the world from sin." I guess the easiest way was to kill almost every living creature; at least the vast majority of that portion of his "other sheep have I." This Jesus was a god of wrath, exercising some form of Old Testament Judgment by the one who was supposed to be the end of the law.
The Biblical Jesus cried out to His Father,
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

2 Cor.11:3-5 tells us that there will be those who would teach a different Christ. Paul says of them, "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ".
It is recorded in the BoM that the mormon christ massacred 100's of thousands men, women and children (possibly millions) and destroyed at least 16, if not more cities.
Yet the Christ of the Bible pleaded for Father to "...forgive them for they know not what they do."?
When He came back, "do not be afraid", "peace be upon you" recorded numerous times in the Bible. No hint whatsoever of Christ going on a murderous and destructive rampage in the ME.
I wonder, were there no evil folks in the ME for the Biblical Christ to destroy? Since the BoM is claiming all those poor souls the BoM christ destroyed were "evil" and without redemption, is it contended that all the folks in the ME were somehow, "special"?
