When a "church" constantly tills the ground with phony claims of having "living prophets, seers and revelators", who haven't EVER "prophecied, seen or revealed ANYTHING", and fertilizes that ground with the manure of claims that these same men are powerless because unfaithful members are keeping the "church" under condemnation...they OWN the nonsense that sprouts up in the ground they have prepared.
I can think of no better punishment for the breakaway sect of Mormonism, headquartered in Salt Lake city and known as the LDS, than the self-proclaimed "Reincarnation of Hyrum Smith" who has used the "urim and thummim" to translate the "sealed portion" of the Book of Mormon golden plates....Just as FLDS/LDS "prophet" wrote that someone someday would.
THEY OWN THIS!!
Is it anything like His perfect punishment for blog pimps?
Eph 5:11 Have nothing to do with the works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Joseph Smith, Chris Nemelka...SAME.
>>> ....Just as FLDS/LDS “prophet” wrote that someone someday would.
Smith originally prophesied while his 1st wife was pregnant that his unborn son would complete the translation at age 3 or something.
His then unborn son never made it. His wife miscarried.
When you speak in God’s name falsely, your playing with fire.
I am LDS and love my Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ and believe him to be my redeemer.
As far as I am concerned, it is our Church’s belief that Almighty God’s direct fatherhood of Jesus Christ our redeemer, is one of the main difference between your belief and mine.
So .... let’s get back to the main division ... was Emperor Constantine doing God’s work when he co-opted the Nicene Council in 325 AD?
It is hypocritical of you to state that Joseph Smith was an false prophet, while you ignore the reality that Emperor Constantine with his power over death and banishment was essential in the establishment of the Nicene Creed.
In case you forgot, the Nicene Creed eventually morphs into some unintelligent dogma such as:
three in one, one in three, sometimes one but never two, always three unless expressly one, sometimes one unless expressly two.
through the Revelations of Joseph Smith a latter-day prophet of our God, I testify to you that:
Almighty God is the spiritual and physical father of our lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And that God the father has prepared a place for all of us, as his spiritual children, to take part of the atonement of Jesus Christ to come to him redeemed of this worlds sin and filthiness.
If this is offensive to you, I am sorry. I have assurances through the confirming knowledge bestowed by the Holy Ghost that it is not offensive to God.
And I seek his will (God the Father), mercy and justice and say these things in the name of His Sone, Jesus Christ, Amen.
As far as I am concerned, it is our Church’s belief that Almighty God’s direct fatherhood of Jesus Christ our redeemer, is one of the main difference between your belief and mine.
Don't think so. How about:
was Emperor Constantine doing God’s work when he co-opted the Nicene Council in 325 AD?
And how, exactly, did Constantine co-opt the Nicene Council? Be specific instead of hiding behind vague accusations. St Nicholas (who was imprisoned under Diocletian) walloped Arius across the mouth at the council; why don't you blame him?: (He was considered a hero by most of the Council Fathers for doing so.) Arius was no Mormon in any case.
In case you forgot, the Nicene Creed eventually morphs into some unintelligent dogma such as
Only in the minds of Mormon apologists. Three persons, one divine substance or being. Nothing contradictory about that.
Look at the Hebrew text of the words of Micah 5:2
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
The phrase “from everlasting” also applied to the father
Hebrews chapter 7 compares Melchisidek to Jesus’s atributes:
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Insulting Christians, and weakening faith is just ever so vogue and brave these days.
I know that you, and your fellow Mormons, are my brothers in Christ. I am grateful for that.
Thank you laotzu for your kind words.
I wish you all the best!
I follow Christ alone.
FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith IS a false prophet and gave NUMEROUS false prophecies such as an 1890's second coming (like Harold Camping), that men lived on the moon etc.
I am pleasantly surprised that you will openly admit that breakaway Salt Lake Sect members believe FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Brigham Young's teachings that God the father physically fathered Jesus, and that Mary was not a virgin. Most LDS members run and hide from that well documented teaching out of shame.
"In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints 'do not believe in the traditional Christ.' 'No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.'" (LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p. 7)
Be careful what you say, you will be held accountable for it by the real Jesus.
Matthew 12:36King James Version (KJV)
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
