I am pleased to suffer your persecution and mockery for my beloved Savior and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.
Persecution is the legacy of all true disciples of Christ.
Simply believing in someone named Jesus will not solve the issue for Mormons because — as the apostle Paul warns in 2 Corinthians 11:4 — there are some who preach a different Jesus. For example, while the Bible teaches that Jesus has always existed as God (John 1:1), Mormons see Jesus as someone who worked His way up to godhood. In fact, to Mormons, Jesus is merely one in purpose with God the Father; whereas the Bible declares that the Father and the Son are also one in essence (cf. Phil. 2:6) — that they are both equally God and members of the Holy Trinity.
“I am pleased to suffer your persecution and mockery for my beloved Savior and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.”
Sure teppe.
But specify that the mormon jesus was a created spirit being and not eternally God, as Scripture teaches.
As such, the mormon jesus can’t save.
And don’t leave out...
1. Your cult believes in many gods
2. Your cult teaches you can become a god
3. Your cult teaches Christ was a created being, half brother to satan
4. Your cult teaches that your gods breed in heaven, creating spirit children
How many gods exist in our universe and in every other, according to mormonism?? Millions? Billions? Trillions?
I'll have to inform you that the "persecution and mockery" you are feeling, have NOTHING to do with Jesus; but EVERYTHING to do with Joseph Smith.
As an illustration...
Matthew 5:11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
You see; you have NOT shown anything we 'say' about MormonISM to be FALSE.
You manage; quite well I might add; to put our motives and attitudes on trial; but the jury is reading the EVIDENCE we post on FR.
Claiming the prosecuting attorneys are mean to you will not get very far if you cannot defend against the CHARGES brought to light.
