Mary sealed to Heavenly Father by LDS proxy temple rites The Mormon Baptism of Mary, Mother of God
By Helen Radkey
Hail Holy Queen
Mary (the mother of Jesus) was a Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, identified in the New Testament as the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Mary conceived Jesus miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. For twenty centuries, Christians have cherished Mary and given her titles that reflect their love and admiration—such as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Theotokos (Mother of God), Our Lady, and Queen of Heaven. As the most celebrated woman in Christendom, Mary is considered the epitome of virtue by Christians, especially Catholics and Orthodox. Protestants generally perceive Mary as an outstanding example of a life dedicated to God. Over two thousand years after she gave birth to Jesus Christ—who is recognized by Christians and Mormons as the Redeemer of mankind—Mary of Nazareth was offered “eternal salvation” through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS.)
Mary, a Mormon by proxy
“Mary Mother of Jesus,” the spouse of “Joseph „of the House of David‟…” was baptized and confirmed a member of the LDS Church by proxy on December 9, 2009 in the Idaho Falls Idaho (LDS) Temple. She was subjected to initiatory temple ordinances on December 16, 2009; an endowment ceremony on December 26, 2009; and a sealing to parents on January 7, 2010—all rites occurred in the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple.

...the Scriptures say, “The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses”).
You’re getting as good at claiming that certain postings are irrelevant and unrelated.
How's that working for you?
Look at #316 and tell me...
You’re getting as good as E-S at waving pesky questions away; are you studying under him?
(This is FUN! ;^)
What is going take me over is the under taker; WAY before the Bridegroom cometh.
(Probably)
I've already made my choice; and, unless something unforseeable happens to me; I'll retain that choice.
I have DONE what MUST be done: #277.
Now; back to the MORMONs.
I hope their Easter (oooops! Resurrection Sunday for the paganphobic amoung us) will reveal a JESUS that their chosen religious organization has NOT enrolled as a ‘helper’ in a person’s salvation; but the Only One who has done the work.
It is finished indeed!

Possibly, but you never know. Is that what you’re really banking on?
2023 is the next likely sabbath year; do you expect to be embalmed before then? I don’t. The ‘wise’ virgin is ready for each of them as they arrive.
>> “How’s that working for you?” <<
.
I have no problem with it, but then I have the full understanding that you apparently do not.
You’re mixing circumcision, and the law with the appointed times that predated them by millenia. their purposes diverge massively.
Each of the appointed times is a prophecy of a specific event in YHWH’s calendar. Each of those events happens in a sabbath year, on the date of that particular feast. This is how the elect are not “in the dark” as to when things happen.
This is why all of the apostles had to be observant Jews. Without that knowledge, they would have been as useless as catholic ‘priests’ in educating the gentiles. That knowledge got lost somewhere in the second or third centuries, after all of the real apostles were dead, and the false apostles had taken over.
At least I'm not mixing the LAW which was GIVEN TO THE JEWS ONLY and GRACE which was given to ALL mankind.
At least I'm not ADDING things into ACTS chapter 15 that weren't there when it was written.
Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate
Now some information simply taken with good supporting sources within the wiki:
Nicolaism (also Nicholaism, Nicolationism, or Nicolaitanism) is a Christian heresy, first mentioned (twice) in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, whose adherents were called Nicolaitans, Nicolaitanes, or Nicolaites. According to Revelation 2, vv. 6 and 15,[1] they were known in the cities of Ephesus and Pergamon. In this chapter, the church at Ephesus is commended for “hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate” and the church in Pergamon is blamed for “having them who hold their [the Nicolaitans’] doctrines”. There is no other first-hand evidence to give us certainty about the nature of this sect.
Hippolytus of Rome states that the deacon Nicolas was the author of the heresy and the sect.[2] Several of the early church fathers, including Irenaeus, Epiphanius, and Theodoret mentioned this group. Irenaeus discusses them but adds nothing to the Apocalypse except that “they lead lives of unrestrained indulgence.”[3] Victorinus of Pettau states that they ate things offered to idols.[4] Bede states that Nicolas allowed other men to marry his wife[5] and Thomas Aquinas believed that Nicholas supported either polygamy or the holding of wives in common.[6] Eusebius said that the sect was short-lived.[7]
Not many more details on them specifically but we know their theology was heretical.
So if they are held as heretical by the Catholic Church (and we protestants as well) that would mean if the Catholics are “Nico laitanes” they hold themselves as heretics.
Doesn't really make sense does it...
>> “Sorry but it is no lie. In fact they are named in the very Bible itself.” <<
.
Yes, it is in the Bible, and no, it is not what you cling to. The fact that you became a Wikipedophile should be enough to stop you in your tracks.
Nico Laitanes, rule over the people. The church in Pergamos was known to hold the doctrine of witholding the scriptures from the people, and presenting false interpretations, and following the false traditions of men (just as the Pharisees did), just as the catholic church has done for the 1600 years of its existance. That is the doctrine that Christ denounced.
There is no evidence to support the fiction that you, the catholics, and the wikipedophiles cling to. It was fiction from its beginning. It rapes the word of God.

>> “At least I’m not ADDING things into ACTS chapter 15 that weren’t there when it was written.” <<
.
Of course you are! You are adding a subject that was not a part of their concern, and not a matter of discussion, since the appointed times were the central theme of all of their worship, and never in any contention.
There are only two epistles of Paul that do not revolve around a convocation at an appointed feast.
.
The wiki article is sourced and foot noted, so despite the location the source material is there for all to see. The early Church fathers wrote of the Nicolaitans as well, men who predate 1600 years ago.
So while I see from some looking around the net that the term has been oddly brought out by some of these new age “Christian” and “Messianic Jewish” movements who supposedly are all about some ideal “pure old school Christianity” to lend some credence to their ideas, the heresy they grab from 2000 years ago is heresy today. And the facts of 2000 years ago, such as who the Nicolaitanes were, are facts today...
If one one to recreate the facts not much more we can do...
You MIGHT be a redneck uh, JEW, if you want to follow the LAW that was given to them ONLY.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the Law, and everything to do with prophecy.
The appointed times came in Adam’s time, and prophecied YHWH’s calendar from then to the end. Those that studied the times were always in the Light; those that did not were always in the dark. Its the same today.
Sourced and foot noted in fiction.
They could do the same kind of article on Greek mythology too. Myth is myth.
