Sorry, but you can’t pretend to know what I feel inside. It is peace which comes from Christ, not the turmoil and contention that comes from the Devil. I get that peace from reading the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon. I know you don’t like that, but that is how it works for me.

[SENTINEL]

Still here, and still ignoring me.

I asked you a simple question ABOUT THE VERY ROOT, THE VERY FOUNDATION OF YOUR "CHURCH", AND YOU CANNOT ANSWER IT !

JST OR KJV ? Three letters have you so cunfused and ashamed you won't even respond.

I recommend Tums for that "burning bosom" of yours, and a healthy dose of God's word for you to know the truth.

Know this however, when wolves in sheep's clothing approach the flock here with the deceptions of your cult, you'll be met by God's german shepherds, the FreeRepublic Inmans !

[MHGinTN]

You write like a true Mormon, duplicitously. You tell me I cannot know how you feel inside, yet you assert that I do not like something you practice. LOL

And here's a hint you poor soul, I don't like or dislike what you're mired in. I feel deeply sorry for you though. and oh yeah, I hate the antiChrist spirit at the heart of and oozing from MormonISM. And I am probably more familiar with your own religion and its documents than you will ever be, yet I do not like or dislike that you are blind to the deception in them. I just feel sorry for you, enough so that I will continue to point out the obvious deceits and contradictory aspects you continue to ignore in order to continue to 'feel' comfy.

[ejonesie22]

Actually we can. Many of us are very well acquainted with the Bible (the real one) and God's very clear instruction to test spirits that speak to us against the word and our own ability to reason. He was very clear that the spirits of darkness will come in the veil of light and goodness to tempt and mislead us. That is why God gave us minds as well as emotions.

A reasoned minds knowns the words in the BOM and other LDS writings is not from God.

Compare reality to what your heart has been telling you. It will not add up, it can't.

[Elsie]

I get that peace from reading the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon.

Do you eat MEAT in the summertime?

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 89

 

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327–329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.

 

1–9, Use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks proscribed; 10–17, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 18–21, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.

 

  1 A ^aWord OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—

  2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the ^aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and ^bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—

  3 Given for a principle with ^apromise, adapted to the capacity of the ^bweak and the weakest of all ^csaints, who are or can be called saints.

  4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of ^aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of ^bconspiring men in the last days, I have ^cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

  5 That inasmuch as any man ^adrinketh ^bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.

  6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, ^apure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.

  7 And, again, ^astrong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

  8 And again, tobacco is not for the ^abody, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.

  9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.

  10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—

  11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with ^aprudence and ^bthanksgiving.

  12 Yea, ^aflesh also of ^bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used ^csparingly;

  13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be ^aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or ^bfamine.

  14 All ^agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

  15 And ^athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

  16 All grain is good for the ^afood of man; as also the ^bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—

  17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

  18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ^ashall receive ^bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;

  19 And shall ^afind ^bwisdom and great ^ctreasures of ^dknowledge, even hidden treasures;

  20 And shall ^arun and not be ^bweary, and shall walk and not faint.

  21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the ^adestroying angel shall ^bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

It may ‘work’ for you but it is in NO WAY biblical. It is a trick the Mormon church uses to keep people under their thumb.

The nagging uncomfortable feeling isn’t necessarily Satan, as you have been taught. It can be the Holy Ghost (the real one not the Mormon fake one) telling that all is not well in Zion.

God never tells us to trust our feelings. Joseph Smith taught that, not God. Unless you trust Smith more than God.
