| I demand respect for my beliefs... | |
huh?
I am not throwing a fit demanding respect, Davy that’s you.
You have no authority over me.
I do not have to listen to you.
Lots of FReepers don’t have anything on their profile pages.
It’s because of people checking it out to find something to criticize that I don’t.
Get it?
You forgot to mention that he is the brother of lucifer ..a 'spirit child " of your god and one of his goddess wives..
Well, look at that.
Drawings and paintings.
Well, if that isn’t proof that they’re telling the truth, I don’t know what is.
I’m glad you settled that once for all.
Let me share some truth: 
Yeah.... you can dish it out but can’t take it. I have other things to do... seeya
Then it most certainly appears you really don't know (aka are ignorant) of true Christianity and the teachings of Jesus."
It is a sign of brainwashing that one cannot bear truth without responding with anger. Within what makes one angry one can find one's idols.
"THE CHURCH" is an idol to mormons, demanding their worship while leading them from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I know, I WAS THERE, saved by Jesus Christ 5 years ago here on FR. I was a High Preist and Bishopric member. Mormons even hold "THE CHURCH" idol above scripture.....Brigham Young declared the Joseph Smith Translation of the bible to be a fraud, and told early members they had to be re-baptised and follow HIM, which they did.
Some of us could not vote for a man that hates the gospel and the Christ of the Bible...
Too bad that your study of the bible hasn't lead you to pointing out and rebuking False Teaching.
I’m not a Mormon.
As Archie used to say: ‘Stifile, Edith’
You are a fine piece of work; Dave!
Davy, oh Davy........respect is earned not demanded.
Or in other words given when it is earned......
Actually I think you are the first person who has demanded respect on FR, ping me when that works out for ya.
Mada; you sound a bit skeptical.
Then I shall provide even MORE evidence!
The "Caractors" are the only tangible evidence in existence related to Smith's story. No gold plates, no brass plates, no peep stones, no Urim and Thummim... only these "Caractors," not a single one of which is in the purported languages.
Smith's translation of the Caractors. According to Martin Harris (Joseph Smith - History, 1:64), "I went to the city of New York, and presented the characters which had been translated, with the translation thereof, to Professor Charles Anthon, a gentleman celebrated for his literary attainments. Professor Anthon stated that the translation was correct, more so than any he had before seen translated from the Egyptian. I then showed him those which were not yet translated,* and he said they were Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic; and he said they were true characters."
Speak right up now in all truthfulness. Isn't it revealing how Smith started out making a stab at creating believable "caractors" but quckly gave up and produced nothing but squiggles, ending up wih a series of nothing more than crude little scribbles? Yet Professor Anthon supposedly translated them!
*Harris must have had two or three pieces of paper with him—one with characters and a translation of them (on the same paper or a separate one) and one with untranslated characters—quite likely the "Caractors." Some Mormon "scholars" have gone out on a limb, sawed it off, and knocked themselves out trying to translate from these true Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic characters a segment that would correspond with a verse from 1 Nephi.
Modern-day experts in Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic. In 1829, any knowledge of these languages possessed by U.S. scholars would have been rudimentary at best. Expertise in them has vastly improved since then. So go ahead, do it. Get any modern expert in these languages to identify which of these "Caractors" are Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac and Arabic. Better still, accept the claim of Mormon apologists that Anthon did indeed so testify and that his appraisal of the Caractors was correct. (Op. cit, pp. 73-75)
Save your money! Samples of Assyriac/Aramaic and Arabic writing:

What say you? Which of Smith's "Caractors" resemble the Assyriac and Arabic ones? No need to pay experts for their analysis. A child could accurately check this out. These writing systems have remained constant for well over 3000 years.
You may as well be; for you are just as deceived as they are.
ah, Just so you know that Davy is a nick name for David which you claim is your real name.
You find that insulting?
When I called you a rick you forgot the condescending part, which apparently you have verified with this fit.
Crazy talk - ‘false teaching’ according to who? You? ‘false teaching’ is a lie of hell... there, there are spirits that sit around all day arguing doctrine - sounds like the gnashing of teeth and really stinks up the place thus my reference to swamp and dung.
Mormons honor, love, obey, trust, and worship our Savior, Jesus Christ. Just because you make a statement, does not mean it is truth. It is truth as you know it but your statement is not The Truth. Furthermore, only God knows my heart. You do not. Jesus Christ is my Judge, not you. I am so tired of people condemning me to hell using some false assumptions.
I was raised in the Southern Baptist Church and I was raised to fear and loathe Mormons. It was all a pack of lies. And Satan is the father of all lies.
Jesus Christ is Lord - He is my Lord and Savior. I could not even make this statement if it weren’t for the Holy Ghost in my life.
This site is filled with ignorance when it comes to Mormons. The Internet is full of anti Mormon, anti MormonISM baloney. It’s an industry that you apparently support. They are making a lot of money off of ignorance. Books, tapes, DVDs, speaking tours - all to denounce and condemn Mormons to hell.
The Rev. Billy Graham has even been condemned on this site for removing Mormons from his ministry’s list of cults.
It is sickening and disgusting. But in the end, Jesus is still my Lord and Master and Soon-Coming King. I love Him and He loves me. He does not condemn me. He accepts me. And that’s good enough for me and Him.
Amen.
