At one time I was thinking on becoming a mormon, that was until I did some research on it. Coming to Free Republic saved me and my family from making a big mistake.

Thank you for posting this and I suspect there are many more like you. I live in Utah and once considered joining the church. THANK GOD I DIDN'T!

That's why I hope these Mormon exposure thread s can continue.

“if we can agree on Jesus Christ and Him crucified “

Jeff, that would be all well and good, except that mormons have a completely different definition of the Person, Nature and Work of Jesus than Christianity.

"crucified" fails as well Jeff. Mormonism rejects the cross as the vehicle upon which God provided the atonement for sin - mormons look to the garden.

Christians cannot agree with mormons that Jesus is a created being and brother to satan, nor can it agree with mormons that our atonement was obtained in the garden.

Which bible are you referring to, Delphi, the full Joseph Smith Translation, or are you of the Brigham Young sect that doesn't use it because flds/lds "prophet" #2 claimed it was a fraud ?

Which bible do you use ? King James or Joseph Smith Translation ? Simpl question.

Your non-issue is addressed at the links I provided you.

It has been addressed a thousand times.

Of course, as is usual with anti-Mormon propagandists, you ignore this and continue to regurgitate your “side” of the topic as undeniable fact. /eyeroll

I’ve been slandered by mormons as well. When they can’t win on the merits of their religion - they can only switch to the practice of personal destruction.

I see. Only YOUR “myths and fantasies” count.

Use caps and bold all day long but it will not change the fact that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is Christ’s true Church restored to the earth.

It is the anti-Mormon freeper gang that “posts offensive, provocative, inflammatory stuff on a daily basis”.

Sentinel - note how I'm excluded from his reply LOL.

PD - your canned non-answer makes it evident for all that mormonism has no answer. The mormon emperor has no clothes and smith was a fake prophet.

Well again, you might be correct....I myself do not know much about Mormonisim...I have read posts on this thread from some Mormons, saying that they do believe Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation John:14-6

There was no proselytizing just Good Will to counter act all of the anti LDS daily propaganda!

And just as the Catholics and other faiths were allowed a Caucus so was the LDS.


This is a very good point.

You're links do not chnage a thing. The entire book of Abraham is a well domumented fraud. Smith didn't even get the scetches right on the VERY COMMON egyptian "book of breathings".

While we're on the topic of fraudulent "translation, let's talk about the kinderhook plates...

From the REAL papyrus of Abraham ...Verses 1-5

http://www.bookofabraham.com/boamathie/BOA_6.html

(I/1) [”Osiris, the god’s father], prophet of Amon-Re, King of the Gods, prophet of Min who slaughters his enemies, prophet of Khonsu, the [one who exercises] authority in Thebes,
(I/2) [. . .] . . . Hor, the justified, son of the similarly titled overseer of secrets and purifier of the god, Osorwer, the justified, born by the [housewife and sistrum-player of ]
(I/3) [Amon]-Re, Taikhibit, the justified! May your ba-spirit live among them, and may you be buried on the west [of Thebes].”
(I/4) [”O Anubis(?),51 . . .] justification(?).
(I/5) [May you give to him] a good and splendid burial on the west of Thebes as on the mountains of Ma[nu](?).”
[Osiris shall be towed in]to the great lake of Khonsu,
and likewise [the Osiris Hor, the justified,] born of Taikhibit, the justified,
after his two arms have been [placed] at his heart, while
the Breathing Document, being what
is written on its interior and exterior, shall be wrapped in royal linen and placed (under) his left arm in the midst of his heart. The remainder of his
wrapping shall be made over it. As for the one for whom this book is made,
he thus breathes like the ba-spirit[s] of the gods, forever and ever.

***There was no proselytizing just Good Will***

For Mormons it is one in the same!

Jesus said, “Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32,33).

I believe that applies to all sinners......

Jeff, I love you and have spent many hours praying for your healing. I will now add a prayer for your salvation from the ignominy of Mormonism! That religion is offensive to Christ!

Joe Smith will not be making any decisions concerning salvation, nor will any man become a god. Mormonism is teaching heresy. Sorry!

- - - - - - -
Amen WV! And I join you in prayer for Jeff’s salvation and encourage all the other inmans to do the same.

Even now I feel that sweet comfort and peace.

Resty, I've known you on these threads for a long time and honestly, I can't imagine anyone who exudes less peace and comfort than you. You really come across as angry, snarky, sarcastic, self-pitying, childish, persecuted, defensive, evasive, whiney, self-righteous and combative.

Your tagline changes from "let's all love each other like Jesus" one day to complaining about someone, ahem, "wetting" your leg the next.

Yeah, yeah, I had to move the beam in my eye to see it, but I'm not the one proclaiming my perfectness.

Maybe your "witnesss" needs some work.

Completely false. You really should get your info from more than anti-Mormons. You are being misled. Willingly it would appear.
