See, that’s one of the many problems with Mormonism Resty. all the words of the prophets of Christianity are documented in the bible. We never have to go back and make excuses for them, or explain them away, or stop publication of their books. They spoke the truth and the truth never changes.

****

You would not know what you would do if all the secular history of pros and cons showed up of former prophets!

I read the horible things written about Mary and Jesus from the secular world as well as other faiths that also contended.

It would make your hair curl...

You antis are following likewise in their footsteps!

Well actually Norm, I lived in Utah almost ten years and had a pretty good opinion of Mormonism. The people were so nice, I appreciated the wholesome values, envied their sense of family and community.

It was only when I began my own search for the truth that I discovered all the ugly, dirty little secrets hidden in Mormonism.

I began to seriously study the bible and talked to Mormons, former-Mormons and Christians and the pieces started falling in place.

I can’t beleive all of this was going on right under my nose and I couldn’t see it. Mormonism is a fake and a fraud and an abomination to God and I will never stop fighting against it because I am required by God to expose the truth.

Oh, I think you are very, very wrong about one thing - Mormonism may not be stopped right away and I’m sure I’m just a tiny drop in a very big bucket, but it WILL be exposed. God’s timing is always perfect, but I grieve for the people who are so deceived by it and refuse to open their eyes.

Best wishes Norm.

I am usually pretty good at deciphering your posts but I really don't know what this means.

I will restate my point - All the words of the ONLY TRUE PROPHETS OF GOD are documented in the bible. They are not "opinions", they never have to be hidden away, every single prophecy so far has come true, there are no false prophecies, later prophets never contradicted early prophets.

stick to the bible and the truth and you never have to keep making up more ridiculous "doctrine" to cover for the trail of inconvenient and embarrassing writings left behind by false modern day "prophets".

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Hebrews 1:1,2

There's nothing left to prophecy! Everything we need to know is spoken to us by the Word.

Hey, I sent you a FReepmail a few weeks back with good news. I was hoping you’d be happy for me!

On this we agree I am very anti-liar and anti-jerk.

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions:
What is the purpose of my life?
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?

 

Just what the heck did Joseph Smith 'learn' to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism?

[Elsie]

I wonder, are the active mormonism apologists at FR getting talking points memos now?

STOP! the Bleeding!! 

is the phrase for AUGUST.

[Elsie]

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Dear Screwtape:

You have learned well!
Continue using SOME and MOST of the time the RM cannot ZOT you as being PERSONAL!
(It will ALSO cast doubt on ALL of them; just like that phrase "as long as it's translated corretly" does for the entire Bible!)
That is PURELY diabolical!!
(I wish I'd thought of it!)

I think I understand where you are coming from, you have formed your opinion about Mormonism,

but I think fighting against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a waste of effort and counterproductive.

 

 

We; however; KNOW that attacking ALL of 'christianity'/(spit) is a GOOD fight and one we will be rewarded for in the After-Life!

 

 

(Just read 1 Nephi 14 church of DEVIL and you'll SEE what we mean!!)

Yeah: it's called... The BIBLE!

Galatians 1:7-10
 7.  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
 9.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

 

 

2 Corinthians 11:14-15
 14.  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
 15.  It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

 

 Revelation 13:13-15
 13.  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 14.  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

  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.”  

 

It appears that EXPERIENCES can be deceiving...

 

 

If one believes the Bible is correct, then, by that Standard, Mormonism fails the test.

 

 

If, however, you are convinced that the Bible is either in error, been corrupted or mis-interpreted, then you are free to believe whatever you wish.
