Some people here on FR are threatened more by good neighbors with good fences than they are a government infringing on their rights. It wouldn’t matter what religion you espoused someone here would be offended by your personal beliefs and flame it openly. It is a shame that people have nothing better to do with their food stamps or unemployment than to belittle another persons beliefs.

I’ve never heard anyone, mormon or not, ever claim that adam is god

- - - — -
It was a teaching of Brigham Young, one that has been downplayed, ignored, and lied to outsiders about by the LDS in the last 20 years or so.

Before that, however, it was a common and open belief that Adam was God the Father in the flesh. It is called the Adam-God doctrine. When I was LDS, I had an LDS tract that defended the doctrine (published in 1988).

LOL .. Touché

There is more to life than just politics.

I was LDS for many years and, praise God, He drug me out of it and into Christianity.

Sharing my experiences, warning others about mormonism and trying to get Mormons to take an honest look at their religion (which is not Christian) is more important to me than just politics.

[reaganaut]

ping to post 29.

Witnessing of Christ and warning others of destructive groups like the LDS is NEVER EVER a ‘waste of time’.

BTW, have never taken food stamps or even unemployment.

There is a day in our future when we will regret not forgiving our differences.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Yeah. Everybody says the same things about everybody else.

[Vendome]

Probably true.

NO!

This anti-Mormon stuff is not only tiring, but patently incorrect and reeks of anti-Christian behavior. What ever happened to “love thy neighbor?”

We love our heathen, pagan and heretic neighbors, we just don't satisfy their desire to be called Christians.

Jesus never said a true prophet would appear in the last days. Rather, He said false prophets would arise who would deceive, if possible, the very elect.

The book of mormon...

Is that what was deleted at # 11 ???

[Tennessee Nana]

Oliver Cowdery, who at one time was second in command of the Mormon Church, called Joseph’s relation with Fannie Alger, at that time about eighteen, “a dirty, nasty, filthy affair.”

Wasnt Cowdery excommunicated for saying that ???

for objecting to Joey Smith’s adulterous escapades ???

[Tennessee Nana]

what is this nonsense? I’ve never heard anyone, mormon or not, ever claim that adam is god.

Adam is “god”

in 1873, the Deseret News noted Young saying “How much unbelief exists in the minds of the Latter-day Saints in regard to one particular doctrine which I revealed to them, and which God revealed to me—namely that Adam is our Father and God...).

He had been teaching Adam worship since the early 1850s: “Now, if it should happen that we have to pay TRIBUTE to Father Adam, what a humiliating circumstance it would be! Just wait till you pass Joseph Smith, and after Joseph lets you pass him, you will find Peter...” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 331, 1857)

Our Father Adam is the man who stands at the gate and holds the keys of everlasting life and salvation to all his children who have or who ever will come upon the earth. I have been found fault with by the ministers of religion because I have said that they were ignoratn. But I could not find any man on the earth who could tell me this, although it is one of the simplest things in the world, until I met and talked with Joseph Smith. (Brigham Young, Deseret News, June 8, 1873)

Now that was Brigham Young later in life...26 years AFTER he arrived in Utah. From the get-go of the mass-volumed “Journal of Discourses” — from vol. 1 in the early 1850s — Brigham Young was teaching that Adam “is our Father and our God, and the ONLY God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non-professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.” (vol. 1, JoD, p. 50)
