This the anti commandment...

That ye shall daily mock and bash those others!

 

 

This is the MORMON kindly way of showing how much they LOVE others NOT of their faith:

Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year and decade!!


 
 The LDS Organization® prints Hundreds of Thousands of THIS yearly!

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/17#17

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
 
 
The LDS headquarters; in the heart of Salt Lake City, visited by THOUSANDS daily, has this placed in prominent view:
 
 
...which reiterates the charge that "they are all wrong; they teach for doctrines the commandments of men".

They are neither the largest religious group in our society, nor are they the most "functional".

Just proves me right the Tradition of Men can not take a rebuke from the Lord Jesus Christ well

So the anti ignorant bash the children of the Lord who strive to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word.

It is the anti who follow another Jesus for they ignore the Lord’s commandment to....

As I Have Loved You Love One Another!

Resty, show me where in the Bible that it says Jesus was...

A created being...
our “elder brother”....
married....
atoning for our sins in the garden...

Because I CAN show you where the opposite of these things is found.

You keep going on about the “traditions of men”, yet SLC stopped following many of the teachings/pracitices of both Smith and Young decades ago.

The current LDS church is not a “restored” church, it is a ‘reformed’ church and therefore you belong to an apostate group also.

It is the mormon who rebukes others while thinking his/her own hypocrisy is not obvious to everyone.

The ToM have revised and omitted manuscripts over the years and it was prophesied that there would be a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

You can yammer all you want but those who have ears will hear and those who have eyes will see because they are of the Lord.

Those who kick against the prick or work against the things of the Lord will answer to the Lord on the Great and Dread full day of the Lord and be held accountable for trying to deceive and cause His children to stumble!

Amos 8: 11
11 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord

In Revelations 14:6

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

D&C 133: 36.
36 And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, who hath appeared unto some and hath committed it unto man, who shall appear unto many that dwell on the earth.

D&C 79: 1.
1 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that my servant (at the time) should go again into the eastern countries, from place to place, and from city to city, in the power of the ordination wherewith he has been ordained, proclaiming glad tidings of great joy, even the everlasting gospel.

D&C 27: 16.
16 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;

These are revelations of the Lord to Joseph Smith jr. that have and continue to be fullfilled!
