...people like Bruce R. McConkie have been corrected by the leadership of the Church, and his subsequent editions were changed to reflect official teachings.

Elcid, ALL: I partially addressed this in post #41...

Ripliancum CLAIMS that McConkie was "corrected by the leadership of the Church" -- but he is simply talking about the 1958 edition of McConkie's MORMON DOCTRINE book.

What Mormons like Ripliancum -- and other naive Mormons -- are seemingly unaware of -- is that the Lds church STILL sanctions the following McConkie quote in numerous places online!!

"The church of the devil is the world; it is all the carnality and evil to which fallen man is heir; it is every unholy and wicked practice; it is every false religion, every supposed system of salvation which does not actually save and exalt man in the highest heaven of the celestial world. It is EVERY CHURCH except the true church, whether parading under a Christian or a pagan banner." (Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3:551)

Exactly WHERE can you find CURRENT sanction by the Mormon Church (Lds.org) re: McConkie's Volume 3 of his Doctrinal New Testament Commentary???

(1) Its New Era February 1974 issue -- STILL disseminated worldwide via its Web site: “FYI: For Your Information,” New Era, Feb 1974, 44–46 -- published by the LDS Church: Sub-headline: 'Doctrinal New Testament Commentary Vol. 3 By Bruce R. McConkie Bookcraft, 595 pp., $7.50'
(2) Here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 164
(3) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 169
(4) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 172
(5) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 179
(6) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 181

Note for those of you who don't speak Spanish re: sources 2-->6 above: "Tomo" = "Volume".

So much for Ripliancum's claims that McConkie's wild accusations of "EVERY CHURCH"
"except the True Church" (i.e. the Mormon church)
constituting "the church of the devil"
has somehow/somewhere been put to bed.
It hasn't...

...and we have Mormon tithers (are you one of them, Rip?) paying for this fantastical fantasy slanderous nonsense.

When are you & other Mormons going to BEGIN to own up to what your tithing $ pays for?

Btw, the El Nuevo Testamento sources I gave in the last post shows a relatively recent publishing date of 2000.

So the Mormon Church is consistently targeting the Hispanic communities in the U.S., Central America, South America, and elsewhere -- attempting to slide thru the side door claims that the Catholic and Protestant churches in their midst are within the umbrella of the "church of the devil."

For example, that one Spanish document alone cites McConkie 39 times!!!!

They want Spanish-speaking converts to become saturated with McConkie-isms...and, once introduced to gobs of McConkie indoctrinations, thereby get ahold of his books to read quotes like what I highlighted in my last post.

ALL: Scan those SIX links I provided in post #58 to see where the LDS Church STILL sanctions Lds "apostle" Bruce R. McConkie's Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, Vol. 3.

When you turn to another page of this book -- p. 238 -- you find this quote about the Mormon jesus:

(He) "Needs salvation...Came to earth to work out His own salvation”

Do you now see why the Mormons worship a different jesus?

The Jesus of the Bible -- Jesus of Nazareth -- didn't need salvation!

The Jesus of the Bible didn't sin, & therefore 'twas nothing to be "saved" from.

He was the Savior...the ONE and ONLY one! (see 1 John 4:14 & John 4:42 where it references "THE" Savior -- singular!)

Brigham Young claimed multiple words were populated & each needed its own savior. Joseph Smith & every ensuing Mormon "prophet" has propped up the idea that the dead need "co-saviors" who research & then proxy-baptize them. And yes, they repeatedly use the plural "saviors" in referencing Mormon temple-ites.

So much for Ripliancum's claims that McConkie's wild accusations of "EVERY CHURCH" "except the True Church" (i.e. the Mormon church) constituting "the church of the devil" has somehow/somewhere been put to bed. It hasn't...
