Why the attacks on Beck and Mormonism? He is a threat to the PTB. I would like to know from those claiming that Mormonism and Christianity are two different religions, prove who wrote or edited your holy scripture. The only difference between the two is that one religion is older. Catholicism, Protestantism, Evangelism, and Mormonism are all religions based upon belief in writings by others that CANNOT BE PROVEN.

Secondly, where in the Bible does it condemn polygamy? If the NT does so, then it contradicts the OT, which means God contradicts himself, which means he is not God.

Mormons used to claim that their beliefs were completely different from Christianity and they had the restored truth. All other churches are in apostasy according to mormons. Recently, due to a PR campaign, mormons now claim they are Christians. Your premise that there are no differences between Christianity and mormonism is laughable. Polygamy is only one of many differences between the belief systems. Other differences are drastic, such as the nature of God, salvation, etc.

Have you ever read the Bible? It appears not otherwise you would not be asking the questions.

(1) “Evangelism” is NOT a religion...

(2) The Bible has been backed up by THOUSANDS of archeological findings.

(3) Not a single archeological fact has ever disproved the Bible.

(4) The Book of Mormon does NOT have a SINGLE verifiable fact.

That’s the difference.

Tell us, runninglips...do you always go around haranging writings from antiquity -- such as Homer, Plato & many others? (Or do you reserve your animosity for such writings from antiquity to the Scriptures? And if so, what have you got against the Scriptures in their content that is so provocative to you?)

Oh fudge!

Let's look in the BoM instead!!!


THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 2
 
24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
