Love and Law -Mormon- (OPEN)

Gospel Library Magazines ^ | Nov 2009 | Dallin H. Oaks

[Elsie]

The love of God does not supersede His laws and His commandments, and the effect of God’s laws and commandments does not diminish the purpose and effect of His love.

--Dallin H. Oaks,
“Love and Law,” Liahona, Nov 2009, 26–29

 

Well; it looks like SOMEthing sure supersedes the Mormon GOD!!!

Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages,

which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort,

I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws,

and to use my influence with the members of the Church

over which I preside to have them do likewise.

President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[Elsie]

GOD really loves us; for HE allowed plain and precious things to be removed from His Word for 1800 years!!

[Elsie]

“No; I’m NOT eating a lemon. Why do you ask?”

[Elsie]

Wonder when tire tread marks are going to show up on the good 'ol apostle for these statements.

When?

They already have!

He's DEAD; Jim!

[Elsie]

The same Dallin Oaks who arranged to get a check of over $100,000 to Mark Hoffmann without paperwork, and then pulled a Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” routine when the police came asking questions after Hoffmann blew up two people?

He was channeling the same spirit Hinckley did: "I don't know that we teach that."

[Elsie]

Because the term became identified with polygamy in the mid-to-late-19th century, some Latter Day Saint denominations who never practiced polygamy have renounced the term.

While some who DO follow GOD's law (D&C 132) and practice polygamy, are not ALLOWED to use the term!

Go figger!

"Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes, whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the 'prophets, seers, and revelators' of the Church is cultivating the spirit of apostacy..."

(Improvement Era, June 1945, p. 354)

 

 

 

Reinforced here......

 

MP3 File

This is the audio clip of Dallin H. Oaks, current Mormon Apostle leader, from the PBS documentary, "The Mormons", declaring unequivocally:

"IT'S WRONG TO CRITICIZE LEADERS OF THE (MORMON) CHURCH, EVEN IF THE CRITICISM IS TRUE."

Don't criticize?

 

Dallin H. Oaks, Mormon Apostle

Oh, they can say that their leaders were NOT speaking for GOD when they said    WHATEVER    but that's NOT the same as criticizing!

( Remember fellow Christians:  the Mormon's criticize US because they've been taught that they CAN'T criticize ANY of their leaders; so they HAVE to vent somehow! )

Thanks for posting the article by Elder Oaks. I found it both thought-provoking and inspirational.

[Elsie]

Do either of you guys have a TR?

[Tennessee Nana]

those who obtain mercy are “they who have kept the covenant and observed the commandment” (D&C 54:6).
_____________________________________________

I thought mercy was for the merciful...

How can the mormons “keep” their awful bigotted doctrines and be considered Biblically merciful ???

God likes color so He would go to the pretty one...

Are you willing to do for the truth what the cults do for a lie? If you REALLY want to know about mormonism..click here

Read the testimonies of those who learned the truth about mormonism

[ejonesie22]

That is what I just love about LDS doctrine and practice. So quick to tell us how much they love Jesus, even faster at negating and diminishing his sacrifice and nature...

[svcw]

After reading this again, I am still in awe. There is not one Biblical Truth. It breaks my heart that there are those that fall for these lies.

[Elsie]

I thought the MORMONs left this thread; hopefully to DIE and NEVER be seen again!

[T Minus Four]

It breaks my heart that there are those that fall for these lies

Me too S, me too.
