More appropriately, what part of smith is a false prophet do you NOT understand.
God commanded Joshua to march around Jericho six times, in complete silence. He did it. Then God told Joshua to march around Jericho a seventh time, but at the end to have all the Children of Israel to SHOUT. Same God, Same Prophet, Different command.
You must have been asleep in seminary when this was covered. Did God give 7 different revelations. NO. Incase you haven't opened your kjv - go to Joshua, chapter 6. Verses 1-5 cover this SINGULAR revelation.
Noooooooooo. Circumstances change.
Well, given your premise has already fallen as flat as the walls. . . . .
Obedience to God is what is important.
And a fickle 'god' mormons have. Adam-God doctrine now non-doctrine for example. Which prophet to believe? Are they not the mouthpieces of God. Did 'god' have taught that he was Adam? Then why did 'god' change his mind later and say he wasn't. Either young was a false prophet or the latter was - the cannot BOTH be correct on the doctrine. And what of the mormon 'god' -seriously confused as to his identity or an out and out liar.
Knowing who is a Prophet, and who is just a man who weakly changes his mind, and fears man, that’s the test of faith, wisdom and love of God.
So are you telling me that President Wilford Woodruff, prophet of the only true church, failed in his test of faith in canceling an "ETERNAL" commandment of God? If that is the case - why do mormons today still sustain this false and errant act and 'doctrine' of antipolygamy? His revelation a false revelation - he then is a false prophet.
Fickle that mormon 'god'
Godzilla,
I’ve read your profile. I admire you. You have a fine mind, and are sincere in your posts.
Joseph Smith was no false prophet. The lies that people wrote about him are just that, lies.
Joshua 6:1-5 you’re right, I blew it.
However, do you believe that God will not or does not talk to His people whenever He chooses? I do. I know He can do whatsoever He chooses to do, whether other people believe it or not.
Shall we decide that if we don’t like the particular person who is speaking for god, therefore we don’t have to follow what he says?
Are you so sure of YOUR knowledge, that you don’t need to get on your knees, be humble, and ASK God if something is true or not?
I got on my knees. I know that the LDS church is hated, and it will only get worse. Too bad we can’t stand together, without throwing rocks at each other.
You know, if we are divided, we cannot stand. But I say, if we choose to stand with God, nothing can destroy us.
If God could speak in the past, I say He can speak today.
You remark: “And a fickle ‘god’ mormons have. Adam-God doctrine now non-doctrine for example. Which prophet to believe? Are they not the mouthpieces of God. Did ‘god’ have taught that he was Adam? Then why did ‘god’ change his mind later and say he wasn’t. Either young was a false prophet or the latter was - the cannot BOTH be correct on the doctrine. And what of the mormon ‘god’ -seriously confused as to his identity or an out and out liar. “
Your words are not clear to me. If you ask which prophet to believe. I say, believe the one who is speaking right now, for I live right now.
Did God tell Abraham to sacrifice his son? Did Abraham go do it? If God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, and then stopped him, according to your interpretation, Abraham should have ignored the Angel, and completed his assigned task.
God teaches us line upon line, and precept upon precept. Here a little, and there a little, according to our ability to comprehend.
You mock the church’s history of pologemy. (sp)
OK. God gave us a celestial law. It had been allowed in the past. He told certain people to do it again. If you have read any of Joseph Smiths or Brigham Youngs accounts of their receiving this commandment, you would know that it was a terrible thing to them. They delayed implimenting it. Read their accounts. Less than 10 percent of the church were ever authorized to practice it, and there are many accounts about it’s difficulty. When the US Congress decided to make a law against (they who were so WISE), the prophet was told through revelation to abandon it. I personally think that the US Government was so wicked then, as it is now, that they didn’t care at all about marriage, they wanted to take away what little property the Church had.
So, God in HIS WISDOM, knowing that the church needed their property to grow, and teach the whole world about Restored Truths, He commanded the Prophet to dis-continue the practice. God is much wiser that mere man.
There were many prophets before Noah, and the people wouldn’t listen. God removed all prophets but Noah, and he was commanded to still teach and warn the people. But, like people today, prophets are called all sorts of names, while the people laugh, sing, marry and give in marriage. The rains still came didn’t they, whether the people listened and climbed on board, or choose to drown.
Have a good weekend Godzilla. I would rather not throw rocks, cause I live in a glass house. However, I stand firm in my committment to Jesus Christ. Mock Him if you choose.
