Ah, we can see that when the demons helped Joseph Smith put this one together, that God mandated a "truth in advertising" disclaimer imbedded...notice that word, "hiss." What "hisses forth" words in the Bible? Yup. That's right. That crafty serpent in the Garden otherwise known as the devil.
From the blog, citing the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 28:29: Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!
In reality, it's not just that Mormons condemn Christians for not being open to additional revelation from God; no...it's actually that they condemn Christians for rejecting Joseph Smith and a few other Mormon leaders as the portal for such "revelations."
When we consider that these "revelations" from Mormon leaders include...
...Joseph Smith's "go for it" multi-wife scheme -- written in 1843 but tucked away amongst Mormon leadership until 1852 when a book by a "Gentile" (Gunnison) announced their practice to the world...
...Wilford Woodruff's stop going for it announcement in 1890 re: multiple wives...
...Spencer W. Kimball's announcement that the Mormon god changed his mind about black people and their skin color is irrelevant, after all...
...Why would any thinking, discerning person deems what the Mormon god has to say in further commentary as worthy of any additional addendums to the Bible?
To the best of my knowledge, Romney is not visiting Christian churches.
He and his people have decided they can win this without the Christian Right.
So...the Mormons give Christians all these "Woes" because we won't accept Joseph Smith as an addendum author of the Bible.
That's the reality in a nutshell. And, as Mark Cares, points out further: ...why would any Mormon today want to try to identify themselves, in any way, with the Christian church?...In his book, Mormon Doctrine, Bruce R. McConkie, faithfully reflects the flavor of these chapters from 2 Nephi in his definition of Christendom. “The term also applies to the whole body of supposed Christian believers; as now constituted this body is properly termed apostate Christendom.” Again, I ask, why would any Mormon want to, in any way, identify themselves with apostates?
Yes...why would over half of the Mormon hymns in their hymnal come from Christian so-called "apostate" sources?
Why do Mormons in one breath reference us as "apostates" and in the next breath say THEY are "other" Christians, too?
Why?
It's called the sin of coveting. They want the brand name of "Christian."
Of course, this means if Mormonism was a "restoration" from the ground up of Christianity, it means that Mormonism took the scorched-earth route & gave worldwide Christianity a mass burial early in the 19th century.
Mormons just don't want to publicly concede that they think of themselves as the spiritual gravediggers of worldwide Christianity. (Doesn't come across as very congenial, civil, or "ecumenical.")
Their references to our country's founding fathers as "apostates" -- to our church's founding catalysts as "apostates" -- isn't very "pretty."
Oh. And one more thing. When the leading GOP candidate believes the same thing...not exactly very inspiring to vote for him. I mean, here he is giving his $millions to spread the slander that Christians are "APOSTATES," that our professing believers are supposedly ALL "corrupt," & that our creeds are supposedly 100% abominable...and Christians are rewarding him for such spiritual militance with their votes?
Can you say they get an "F" in discernment?
Wow... never thought I would agree with anything from the Book of Mormon... but that’s pretty good stuff there. It’s an attack on Sola Scriptura... which is unbiblical... and a reminder that salvation is from the Jews. Not bad.

The Mormon “You’re a bigot if you speak the truth” Brigade in 5, 4, 3, 2.........
The BoM also condemns to hellfire all those who have had their children baptized as infants...
If the mormons think they’ve been persecuted in the past, just wait until Romney gets the nomination. In fact, with the money obama has behind him he may single handedly destroy the mormon church.
What "hisses forth" words in the Bible? Yup. That's right. That crafty serpent in the Garden otherwise known as the devil.
Yep. And when you expose a Mormon to the truth, sometimes they hiss too!
Vot for a mormon for president who claims he’s a Christian.....
OR
Vote for a muslim for presidnet who claims he’s a Christian.....
What’s a man to do? WRITE IN!
“my words shall hiss forth”
Interesting verb choice, for those who have ears to hear.
Etymology traps the mormons again...
