Well again. The Bible can stand alone. The Book of Mormon needs the Bible to back it up. We don’t need the Book of Mormon to prove the Bible. Since there are three different accounts of how Joseph Smith,Jr. translated/wrote the Book of Mormon, which account is accurate?

I’m increasingly sick of seeing Mormon false doctrine on FR via repeated posts by ParagonDefender. Add my voice to those who wish to see active anti-Christian, cult proselytizing shown the door on this site.

The LDS claim that God chose Joseph Smith to reestablish the Church of Jesus Christ after it had disappeared some 1,700 years earlier following the death of the first apostles. Mormon’s believe that the Church Christ founded somehow needed a restoration. This is why the basic premise of Mormonism cannot be true, unless Christ is a liar. Let’s look at Scripture:

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18

Here Christ says his Church will not be destroyed.

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:12-13

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

Here Christ says, and Paul reaffirms, that the Church will always teach the TRUTH.

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Mat 28:18-20

Again, here Jesus assures us that He is always with us, to the very end.

So Christ says His Church will not be destroyed or fall away from him, that the Holy Spirit will guide the Church to always teach the Truth, and He will always be with us.

The only reason for a ‘restoration’ is that Christ lied.

May I enquire what Real LDS/Mormon means? Is this intended to separate your thread from FLDS threads? Or are there unReal LDS/Mormon threads? Can you elaborate?

[OffBelay]

Thanks for taking the time to post these articles. I enjoyed this one. Great sermon.

The question once again PD is are you PERFECT as Jesus commanded in MT 5?

THIS caught my eye in the article..."To the highly conscientious Brigham Young, who sacrificed so much so frequently"

LDS historian B.H. Roberts told about the lawsuit filed by some of Young's heirs: "During the three years’ presidency of the council of the twelve [after the death of Pres. Young] the affairs of the church quite generally were prosperous. Some difficulty arose, however, in the matter of settling the estate of the late President Brigham Young. Some claims were made by a number of the late president’s heirs respecting the possession of property that President Young held for the church as trustee-in-trust. It was alleged by them that President Young died seized of an estate valued at two and a half millions of dollars. This, however, was denied by his executors, and also by President John Taylor...that the property to which Brigham Young held the legal right or title was not worth over $1,626,000; and further they affirmed, that much of said estate was held by the testator in trust for the Church...and that Brigham Young was largely indebted at the time of his death 'and justly owed to said church over $1,000,000.’ " (Comprehensive History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, vol. 5, by B. H. Roberts, p.524-525, BYU Press 1965)
