That’s cuz we actually read and study the Bible.

Go LDS!!!

..........................

Indeed. The NT was written in Greek. Could you give me the Greek root word for the word ‘telestial’, and supply the Webster definition for the word?

Well, im right and you are incorrect. I’m Baptist, and in my official capacity as a scripture interpreting believer, my interpretation is that the Lord kinda shakes his head in disbelief at some of what they thought, then accepts them into the fold.

“Mormons can answer more Bible questions than their Catholic and mainline Protestant counterparts. “

It speaks for itself. I love the Bible. My Mormon brothers and sisters know the Bible and love it.

You may be a religious scholar and try to trick me with your fancy schmancy words but the fact remains that I have read the Bible through several times and I know the Bible. I love the Bible.

Thank you

Yes, the LDS that Jesus Christ die for our sins and because we read the Testimony accurately His humble prayer in the garden of Gethsemane to His Father in Heaven and sealing it with His blood upon the cross!

Paying the price for our redemption in the garden of Gethsemane and Salvation by overcoming the Cross (death) receiving a resurrected body of Flesh and Bone!

There was none other who could have paid the ransom only Jesus Christ and given us eternal life!

I guess thats where i break on it. That by their fruits thing. They really put out an effort to live their beliefs. But i think a lot of their beliefs are downright nutty,,,

I don’t know if that imperils their very salvation or not. Other Christians have some bizzare beliefs too. Like Church of England with King at the helm,, and the miracles other churches get obsessed with. But a crazy belief doesn’t always mean you miss the basics.

But for the record,,I wouldn’t vote for Romney.

Mormons can answer more Bible questions than their Catholic and mainline Protestant counterparts.

Well figure that?....from the reponses to questions here on FR that would be a huge not so. They cannot even defend their own beliefs with the scripture they are claiming to know so well. Blanket brainwashing pat statements do not count...anyone can memorize a story book line.

Can hardly believe someone would even imagine saying they know their Bible...but I can certainly say they are well brainwashed into Mormonism false teachings...and what their handlers teach them to believe. But independant thought is lacking for most.

Then you have to wonder is it the Bible that’s not translated correctly or the bible that Joseph Smith wrote or some other one. You are correct lds are not Bible scholars.

Who's teaching Jerusalem as Christs birthplace? Historical evidence and the written documents attest His birthplace at Bethlehem. In fact it was old testament prophecy fulfilled.

It would be significant for a cult or false religion to construe where His birthplace was. They generally do that with most historical facts..they have to in order to plug the holes of their arguments otherwise....round and round they go.

"... then we are the ONLY true Christians on earth. Don’t believe me, just ask God ...Hell tell you." Your freudian slip betrayed even your own conscience. The arrogance of mormonism just cannot be hidden!

You know well that people like the thief on the cross and the Ethiopian whom Phillip baptised had not been told they had to affirm the concept of God's trinitarian nature in order to have salvation, so why do you try to frame your silly question in that fashion? If you are such a correct 'christian' tell me truthfully how it was that God The Father Almighty became the exalted God The Father Almighty? And tell readers what mormonism teaches concerning the siring of Jesus whom your religion teaches became a god through exaltation of His works. Are you an honest Mormon, or merely another of the deceivers we've dealt with over the last several years?

You’re making a huge mistake if you believe they are Christians.....they are using Christian terminolgy in which to bait and switch the unsuspecting....because this is what works for most cults and false religions or they wouldn’t be doing so.

Their teachings directly oppose the teachings of Christ...as do their various rituals and indoctrinations. Which is why the whole Christain commuity has determined they are not Christian. They worship an imposter Christ and follow the counterfeit teachings of their dead leader...Joseph Smith...who modeled the Mormon beliefs with many cult practices and himself practiced these.

There’s nothing Mormons “pick and chose” about the Bible. We believe the same general teachings of the Bible as any other Christian faith. In the few portions where there are clearly translation problems, we have latter day scriptures to clarify what was meant in the original Bible. And frankly those things I have found are perfectly in keeping with the intent of the Bible. I could similarly accuse other religions of “picking and chosing” what they follow in the Bible as well. For instance, why no prophets and apostles in our age other than in the LDS faith? Why ignore the obviously separate nature of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as displayed during Christ’s baptism or on the Mount of Transfiguration? We may have our doctrinal differences, but that doesn’t mean we ignore wholesale Bible teachings to go about doing wrong. And when you look at the good the LDS Church does in the world, I think you can quite safely use the measuring stick of “by their fruits ye shall know them.”

As for the mall in Salt Lake, why is it so bad for a church to hold investments so it can take care of its members and others throughout the world? Seems rather class warfare-ish to take exception to that.

Ever been to Bethlehem? I have. It’s basically a suburb of Jerusalem. In fact it is a Semetic evidence of the Book of Mormon that such phraseology is used because it was a common near Eastern practice to refer to a town by its regional setting in proximation to a nearby large city.

Translation problems? Bwahahahaha, so how come your false prophet didn’t fix them with his Joseph Smith Translation of the King James Bible into King James English? Did he use his peppestone? And I suppose you stand by the thousands of words and changes Joe made to the Bible, like adding more than eight hundred words at the end og Gensis in order to fabricate a prophecy of his advent ‘in these latter days’? You cultists are ahoot, really!

But the phrase “other Christians” is a bit deceptive since Mormonism is not Christian.

But of course it is. Without a doubt.

The Mormon book says Jesus was born in Jerusalem. When we all know Jesus was born in Bethlehem, just as Prophesied.

Key phase: We believe the same general teachings of the Bible (bold for point)

And lds add, as far as it is translated correctly. The term general is their scape goat.
