Latter-day Saints don't worship the Bible as so many others do.
Something is surely wrong with the Mormon thought process.
Your 'prophet' was told by GOD hisself to CORRECT the KJV.
He did; coming up with the Inspired Version.
And yet, the JST is NOT considered to be SCRIPTURE and the KJV is STILL used.
Can you, or any other Mormon reading this, explain WHY??
I hear ya!!
JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....
...and so forth.
The Republic has bigger issues than Mormons, however much you and Elsie like to spend your time bashing them. Like it or not, they are allies against the Dems.
Shall I start posting what the Jewish Talmud says about Jesus and Christians? Yes, the Catholics think Protestants are heretics, the Protestants think the same about Catholics, the Jews think that Christianity is a false religion, and lets not get into what the Buddhists and Hindus think about us.
But you just feel compelled to get us all into a circular firing squad leading up to the 2016 elections.
I haven't noticed you preaching that to the Jewish FReepers among us. tell ya what, how about you wander into some of the Jewish threads and have fun with that?
There are WAY bigger issues here than mere politics.
My 'compulsion'; as you call it; is to get us all into a position that when we each STAND BEFORE GOD; He will have found our names written in the Book of Life.
If you have bigger fish to fry; go catch them!
You keep telling yourself that when the next Dem win results in your church being forced to host gay weddings, under penalty of closure and confiscation of building and grounds.
Nice talking point...
Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

URGENT!
It's been noted there has been a DRASTIC falloff in the number of MORMONs who actually can (or will) engage in opposing ANTIs on FreeRepulic (spit!)
I am forced to re-issue and old memo you all received about 3 years ago.
I've been getting lots of feedback from those of you on Free Republic (spit) about certain FReepers who are REALLY giving us a hard time there.Why not try to point out to the uninformed how CONSUMED they seem to be.Let's see if we can tangle them up so much trying to defend their reputation that they'll no longer have as much time to post facts about MORMONism.As always, Tommy M.
They have Moses and the Prophets.
They can follow them.
I'm not intending on going away.
Best learn to ignore me if you can't stop me.
>> I will stand up for anyone who wants to practice their religions...Mormon, Catholic...Jewish...<<So, for the record, when Jesus said "NO man comes to the Father but by me", do you believe he made an exception for Jews who reject Him? That belief in "Moses and the Prophets" cancels out "NO man comes to the Father but by me"?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.
Oh, I don't want you to wander away. I'm having so much fun with you. I was just wondering if you would grace the Jewish threads with your presence as well.
I’m sorry; but MY church will NOT be FORCED to do anything.
We will not roll over like the MORMONs did about polygamy.
Nope.
That belief in "Moses and the Prophets" cancels out "NO man comes to the Father but by me"?
The first statement here is in the spirit of...
Mark 7:26-27
26. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27. "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
