Some people will believe anything and lying about anything
no proof is need just innuendoes....

Just goes to show some revel in being backbitters

Guess walking the walk is too hard!

Those are the characteristics and behaviors of your church’s early leaders on display. I am not lying, regardless of your scurrilous accusation.

That you so easily dismiss them as “innuendo” is not uncharacteristic. If I made them up out of whole cloth, you might have an argument. Since I didn’t, your argument is without merit.

I would never knowingly follow in the footsteps of such people, I did so unknowingly.

The “walk” that is too hard for some to make is the one that takes one away from such deception. I took the walk away from mormonism into Christianity and I’m not looking back, just over my shoulder.

As for the “backbiters” comment you made, I would offer up your “reap what you sow” comment as the impetus for this post.

I suspect the original intention of your posting this thread is to somehow attempt to posit that Christians are hypocrites.

I don’t know of any TRUE Christian who would ever arrive at the conclusion they are anywhere near sinless.

“Guess walking the walk is too hard!”

Making it personal resty?

Just goes to show some revel in being backbittersMORMONism needs no backbiter; for they can get their GOD to threaten their reluctant targets!

SECTION 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded July 12, 1843

51–57, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true;

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.
