You continually post your cult propaganda in a manner that would make Herr Doktor Joe proud
(BTW-The Nazis and the Mormons got along just fine from what I've read....by authors who weren't self-serving like your cult's shills.)

The Trinity is basic Christianity of which the LDS church knows nothing about. You have just shown how the LDS and Mormonism is not Christian. Thank you.
Thanks Paragon.
I’ve found a terrific book by Tad R. Callister, The Inevitable Apostacy and the Promised Restoration. It is very well written, and it clarified much for me.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves ... For such are FALSE apostles,
DECEITFUL workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.”

Thanks for posting! :-)
Oh, how I regret how Satan used me to lead millions astray! If only I had a second chance to change things! FLEE! Before it is too late! Flee the cult of mormonism!
[An excellent article. I hope you will read it and ponder the truths contained in it.]
I will ponder these truths to the same extent I ponder peepstones, magic under wear, secret handshakes, polygamy, Kolob, celestial marriage, the kinderhook plates, hieroglyphics and various other magical talismans I pull out of a Cracker Jacks box.
I told this little anecdote here a while back but it bears repeating:
At a kids’ birthday party a couple years ago in a Mormon home, the men were sitting around the kitchen table waiting to eat when someone raised the question: “How did God get here? Have you ever thought about that?”
Another “elder” replied, “The old bishop once told me that our God was sent to rule Earth by twelve other gods.”
After my eyeballs stopped spinning around in my head, I got up and went outside to shoot baskets on the driveway with the kids.
Nowhere in Scripture does it say this. This is the same old lie that the serpent told Eve.
True. The dead cannot be saved. It is too late.
The only truth in the article is this paragraph at the end....
"Given the wide variety of beliefs among the various Christian churches, it is better to take persons claiming to be Christians at their word and to let the Lord be the judge."
Christians are willing to let the Lord be the judge, and mormons have to have the "certificate of Joseph Smith"..
Good one. Every time PD puts up something proving they’re the only true Christian church he contradicts himself and the LDS church claims that they’re Christian. It’s so funny it’s really sad. Multiple gods????? Hey, can I become a godess???

Absolutely! The Bible is God's word. Smith's Book of Mormon and other writings are nothing but hooey. It has been proven that he lied and made up a false translation for the book of Abraham (which was really an Egyptian book of the Dead) so why we should we take any of this other "translations" seriously?
I say God's word and God's alone.
Yep.
Perhaps the most famous statement of the Latter-day Saint understanding of the relation between grace and works is in 2 Nephi 25:23: “It is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.”
More cultic twisting. We are saved by grace and grace alone. Works has nothing to do with acheiving salavation. Works, however, are very important to show faith after salvation.
The other points are a curious hodgepodge. As an Orthodox "Christian," I can state that the understanding of the concept of theosis to be seriously mistaken, if the statements in this article are not outright lies. Theosis is the restoration of the image and likeness of God with which man was originally created. This does not mean that theosis makes one God; that is blasphemy. It does not surprise me to find these (mis)quotations of the Fathers in the article. I recently listened to an Orthodox Bible study warning that Mormons were doing precisely that.
Furthermore, is it not self-evidently contradictory to first claim that the 4th Century Fathers were completely wrong about the Trinity, but were spot on about theosis? - a teaching that, while valid, is not as central to Orthodoxy.
Orthodoxy is not some cafeteria line where one can pick out what one wishes to consume. I invite you to study the True Ancient Faith. Come and see! We have been proclaiming the same unchanging truth for almost 2000 years. If you are curious, try listening to some of the podcasts on Ancient Faith Radio on the Internet.
Is this a caucus thread?
Suuuure you can!
Just convert, get yourself a “celestial husband” and go through the temple indoctrination. No sweat. Y’all will get your own planet too!
As polytheists, they make the Hindus look like slow motion.
