Either accept the FACT that they will be DAMNED for not following 'scripture' or the FACT that their precious #2 prophet was a big liar!!
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
Do NOT encourage him!!
He's bad enough already!!!

It is very common.
Actually have never had a mormon or those who say they are just defending mormonISM answer any question directly.
There is a video on youtube, which is a sixty minute lecture on how not to answer questions.
In brief, it is a lesson on how to answer questions that should have been asked, not what was asked.
Typical politician talk...
"I glad you asked that question!"
Besides; it's TAUGHT in MORMON classrooms that you do NOT have to answer the question asked; but the one that SHOULD have been asked.
Uh, Resty; if you're out there - thanks again for giving me the COMPLETE video of Bob's remarks!
Mock me, shock me; make me write bad checks: I don't care!
You should have been around when PD (Paragon Defender) was active.
He'd drive up with this big haystack of links, dump them in your lap, and them tell you to look it up for yourself.
I doubt that Candace would have let him ride on the chariot for very long.
PeeDee’s other trick was to deny any credulity to direct quotes from MormonISM/LDSinx c sources when we posted them exposing the blasphemies and heresies proving their ISM is not Christianity. The phrase ‘like trying to nail jello to the wall fit PeeDee to a TeeTee.
How awful for the kids.
I can’t imagine what a nightmare it was for them and her.
That’s so heartbreaking.
hang a few cowbells from the trees, and we'll call it good.
FOTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ignored it
I have a fever...
So, are you saying Jesus lied?
Jesus said to him, Away from me, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. (Matthew 4:10)
If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? (Matthew 12:26)
Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. (Mark 4:15)
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Luke 4:8)
He replied, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. (Luke 10:18)
If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. (Luke 11:18)
Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her? (Luke 13:16)
Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. (Luke 22:13)
Or, how about the book of Revelation? Does the Apostle John also lie?
I know your afflictions and your povertyyet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. (Revelation 2:9)
I know where you livewhere Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your citywhere Satan lives. (Rev. 2:13)
Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satans so-called deep secrets, I will not impose any other burden on you, (Rev. 2:24)
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liarsI will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. (Rev. 3:9)
The great dragon was hurled downthat ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. (Rev. 12:9)
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. (Rev. 20:2)
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earthGog and Magogand to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of Gods people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:7-10)
That's not even counting the rest of Holy Scripture that thoroughly demolishes the false construct that a being called Satan does not exist. I think he is actually delighted when people think he isn't real. That way he can get away with so much more. Don't be deceived, he is like a roaring lion walking about seeking to devour you!
No doubt.He can then deal out his so-called power to high-minded men and at the same time let them operate under the delusion that they have special 'whatever' and that they wield that so-called power rightfully.Because they're so smart,have secret knowledge,are privy to all sorts of secret schtuff.Satan offered all that to Jesus (Luke 4:6) and was rebuked for it but men lap it up and are puffed up with it,not realizing where it actually comes from.
Thank God for His Word!
I’m not trying to be mean here, but after reading all the stuff their “prophets” have said over the years, how things changed from one thing to its opposite and how quirky some of the rules are, I have a hard time believing that intelligent people fall for this nonsense. We almost elected as President a man who actually KNOWS all this stuff and has no problems at all with believing it and sinking his entire family into it all their lives. If who we got instead of him wasn’t such a disaster, I would almost think we dodged a bullet as a nation. Why, how, can people who can think fall for this??? The only answer I can come up with is SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS. No other answer works for me.
Now that’s good! LOL.
Heaven and Hell (Dole) n. 544
544. People in the world still believe that there is a devil who rules the hells and that he was created as an angel of light but was cast into hell with his gang after he led a rebellion. The reason for this belief is that the Word talks about the devil and Satan, and about Lucifer as well; and in these cases the Word is understood literally. However, in these passages the devil and Satan mean hell. The devil means the hell toward the rear where the worst people live, the people called evil demons; and Satan means the hell that is toward the front where the less malevolent people live, the people called evil spirits. Lucifer means the people who are from Babel or Babylon, the ones who extend their control all the way into heaven.
We can also see that there is no devil to whom the hells are subject from the fact that all the people who are in the hells, like all the people in the heavens, are from the human race (see 311-317), that there are millions there from the beginning of creation to the present day, and that everyone there is the kind of devil he or she became by opposition to the Deity while in the world (see above, 311-312).
Hope you are doing well on the other side of the world. It's summer there now, right? Take care!
Jesus often used figurative/symbolic language, even parables that related a truth using it, but when he spoke of actual persons and places, he spoke LITERALLY. I think it is a cop-out to relegate everything to being symbolic because it then makes NO truth absolute. It is the whole idea behind existentialism - what's truth for you may be different from me, and vice versa. Truth, then, becomes relative. Is this what you believe? Is there NOTHING that is absolute truth in your faith?
Usually when Jesus gave a parable, he explained it afterward. He would even let certain people ponder on what he could mean without explaining the point to them. He told his disciples his reason was so that:
He replied, Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. (Matthew 13:10-17) The disciples came to him and asked, Why do you speak to the people in parables?
Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this peoples heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.
However, Jesus did not always speak in parables. There were many times that he spoke plainly, plain enough that even little children could understand His teaching. When the writers of the gospels wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit to tell all about what happened to Jesus - such as His temptation in the wilderness - they had no need to use figurative language to describe the things He endured. That's why when I gave you those Scriptures about Satan being rebuked by Jesus, he was NOT rebuking "the hell that is toward the back/front" but THE Devil/Satan.
What you are following is NOT a new church or even a new doctrine, it is older than the earth. It has popped up in numerous places and times all throughout the world. It started with that very person, the fallen anointed cherub called the Devil, the Serpent, Satan. He was the one who started the whole "Gnostic" idea that knowledge was esoteric, relative, symbolic. That there was no knowledge that was absolute truth, that could be known for a certainty. He said to Eve, "Did God really say...?" and he got her to question God's meaning behind a clear command. That started the fall and he has done little to change his tactics over these millennia - why should he, they STILL work. I plead with you to not be taken in by his deceit. God's word is trustworthy - all of it. It is a light unto our paths. Keep it shining on yours!
I’m not here to argue. Get Heaven and Hell and just read it with an open mind. Man’s understanding and technology has advanced in 2,000 years - men wrote the Gospels and the entire Scripture (except the 10 commandments). Jesus is God and every utterance was in correspondences of apparent truth as received. I believe the Heavenly Doctrines to be the third testament in the preparation of the New Jerusalem. I’m not asking you to believe it, also. I took it as Bible commentary until I read enough to become convinced.
