It weakens faith

I should HOPE so!

Faith in the HERESY that calls itself Mormonism!!

[Elsie]

This thread does not praise God.

What's holding YOU back from doing so?

[Elsie]

Enough with the Christian bashing.

Enough with the faux moralizing.

[Elsie]

I am not Mormon, and I don't take lightly their false teachings being exposed.

[Elsie]

Yes please Lao- shut up.

Oh NO!!

Please; laotzu; continue to post in this thread.

I need straightmen (I assume) to give me something to play off of.

[Elsie]

all you can do is steal - can’t come up with anything origional.

Let's give Jim a chance to post his 3 minutes worth.

Saturn’s day

I presume, then, in all your convos you NEVER reference "Saturday" in light of your comment?

Please explain then how do you get along at work, with family, with friends, in communicating times & dates with them if you steadfastly avoid using all names derived from false gods?

* Monday came from Germanic mythology where the "moon god" = Mani.
* Tuesday comes from Norse mythology re: its one-handed god, Tiw.
* Wednesday comes from the Germanic god Wodan.
* Friday comes from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Frige.
* Saturday comes from the Roman god Saturn (Anglo-Saxon rendering was Sæturnesdæg)
* January - Janus, Roman god of the beginning/doorway
* March - Mars, Roman god of war
* April - unknown, potentially Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love
* May - Maia, Greek goddess of fertility
* June - juno, Roman goddess of protection

So...tell us, delchiante...how you've managed to avoid offending or provoking our Jealous God by avoiding days and months and their names that honor and acknowledge these various pagan gods.

We're all interested in knowing what system you came up with steadfastly (and legalistically, if I might add) avoid such a thing.

And if you can't, may I suggest in the future that you may want to explain your inconsistent selective outrage over certain pagan words -- but not others?

Oh...and don't stop with these calendar days & months, either.

If you have EVER acknowledged April Fool's Day in any way (April 1), do you realize that this day may be a relic of the Roman “Cerealia” – held in honor of Ceres (goddess of agriculture).

And do we not get our very word "cereal" from this goddess? I suppose you legalistically refrain from using the word "cereal" -- or even eating of cereal, eh DEL?

And tell us, Del, how you steadfastly refuse to EVER reference a med prescription as "Rx"...given that the "R" in the symbol "Rx" used by Pharmacists for centuries includes the slant across the "R's leg" = the sign of the Roman god, Jupiter, patron of medicine.

My, my, my. Pagan, pagan, pagan. Have you thus inadvertently honored these gods of Cerealia & Jupiter? (Did you eat a bowl of cereal in the past week, month, or year, ?) Did you rename it first? If not, naughty, naughty, naughty "pagan" of you! [I'm wagging my finger as I type]

[Colofornian]

But if it had been about Luther...

LOL :) ...

[delchiante]

Today is the 5th day of His work week and the 13th day of His month..
That calendar is found in His sky and confirmed in His Word...

The Lamb was to be slain on the 14th day. That is tomorrow.

The Lamb was laid in the tomb and rested on the weekly and annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The 15th day of His month. a sunday this year ( Jews in 2014 observed that on a Tuesday a day later than they will this year ( because of their pope approved Saturn day sabbath)

He rose from the grave on the first day of the week, the 16th day of His 1st month.the feast of first fruits. In 2014, that should have been a Wednesday if one observed the passover on a Monday as Jews did.. they use the pope Gregory calendar so their first fruits is always on a Sunday after their pope approved sabbath..

So, the calendar that is detailed in scripture says nothing about a Friday, Saturday or a Sunday..
But scripture does tell us when Passover is, when unleavened bread is, and when first fruits is..

And like I said, today is His 13th day..

Instead of Friday/Saturday/Sunday , this year should be Saturday/Sunday/Monday..

When one rejects the pope Gregory calendar, it becomes clear why Daniel had a prophecy about something in the Roman Kingdom changing times and laws.

And that is why the gospel of Christendom isnt based on scriptures.. but it is based on the Roman catholic catechism and their pope Gregory calendar..

The first reformers called the papacy the seat of Antichrist.. and the pope Antichrist.
And that was before the world used the pope Gregory calendar to set their work and worship schedules..

You ever wonder why passover appears to be on different days year after year even though scripture says He changes not?

I did.. and what He taught me brought to light why the word anti in Greek didn’t just mean ‘opposed’..
It also meant ‘instead of’/’in place of’/substitute..

Apostle Paul never taught good Friday,Saturday, easter Sunday.
That story is Roman, not Hebraic..

And it is fair to say I used to use Antichrist’s calendar (aka pope Gregory calendar) but I know now how much a slave I was..

And the calendar in scripture tells a story that really shows the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..

But I met Him as Jesus and He didn’t let me stay there..
And He didn’t let me hang out in judaism either..

And for the record, revelation 12 will tell you His real birth date too, if you study the free wall calendar He gave us in His sky..

Why stop at just good Friday false doctrine.. go for the other Roman holy day Christmas..
I now know what come out of her my people means. And as a protestant I always thought it was the roman catholic church..
Boy, was I wrong...

[HarleyLady27]

I will stand up for anyone who wants to practice their religions...Mormon, Catholic...Jewish...

There is only one GOD, we all look to Him for guidance, to love, to be a better person, to someday return to Him...

There are only a select few that can’t see what is written because of so much hatred...

When I read the article, I saw hatred, I saw portions taken out of text...you see, I was born and raised here in Utah, being Catholic in the midst of all of this, gave me the will to let them believe the way they want to...

Asked what Mormons think of me? I don’t have to worry about that, I have to worry about what God thinks of me, I am one of his children...so I have lived with this all my life, and its made me a better person for doing so...

[StormPrepper]

The problem you have HarleyLady27 is that you are rational.

And you’re addressing people who aren’t.

[Elsie]

I will stand up for anyone who wants to practice their religions...Mormon, Catholic...Jewish...

Me, too!

And then I'd tell them what the BIBLE teaches.

I'm a bit intolerant; for I believe what Jesus said when the words I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. NO man comes to the Father but by me.

[Elsie]

When I read the article, I saw hatred, I saw portions taken out of text...you see, I was born and raised here in Utah, being Catholic in the midst of all of this, gave me the will to let them believe the way they want to...

Had you out numbered; eh?

Hear this: you are NOT outsmarted!

No doubt you've prayed for these deceived folks over and over.

Being the cantankerous sort; I have the will to point out the non-biblical heresy that pours from SLC.

[Elsie]

And you’re addressing people who aren’t.

I noticed the she did NOT address you.

[Elsie]

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. NO man comes to the Father but by me.

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith

Articles of Faith

Thank you for posting our Articles of Faith. I always enjoy reading them.

[Elsie]

...as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.

Of course the conflicting and non-Biblical elements of Mormonism are irrelevant to you.

[Elsie]

I always enjoy reading them.

Even the '...as long as it's translated correctly.' part?
