I have a great love for my Mormon friends, but I do not respect them. I cannot respect a group that openly spits on my Savior.

And I do love them, I love them enough to see them out of the chains of legalism and false teachings. Chains that will bind them to Hell.

Sir you just lied to me and those reading here.

The LDS KJV DOES NOT FOOTNOTE the JST, only the "Pearl of Great Price" which includes the book of Abraham, discredited above. It also includes "selections" of the book of Matthew, Moses and Genesis, however these do not match the original JST book in his ENTIRELY "translated" bible.

I guess in short, you as a church are in agreement with Brigham Young that Joseph Smith's translation of the bible was "spurious" and a fraud.

Your founder wrote it. YOU OWN IT.

Hi ampu,

I have been blessed in so many ways. I just don’t see the downside.

I’m at the point that I’m not going to allow any protected LDS/Mormon Caucus threads on FR.

“I have been blessed in so many ways. I just don’t see the downside.”

EXACTLY! How could you see the downside?

You are in a cult that is based 100% on subjective
feelings, with no objective truth. By necessity, you
must sweep aside all else, rely on feelings and believe
the mormon meme that there was an apostacy, a revelation
to Smith and a restoration with new books. You must believe
those things entirely on feelings.

How could you see the downside? Can’t.

I wish and pray more for you.

ampu

The Christian bookstore owner in Provo who used to witness to me asked me once if my faith was in Christ or in the LDS church. When I replied it was in Christ of course, he then asked me why I needed Mormonism then? I didn’t have an answer.

Most LDS, knowingly or not, put their faith in ‘the Church’, not Christ.

And therein is the problem ... you don’t see, for it is spiritual discernment which is missing when you follow and defend the blasphemies from Joseph Smith and subsequent leadership of the LDS.

Oh believe in your fairy tales who cares those who are seekers of truth can discern for themselves!

 "I have seen several entirely sincere people who thought they were (permanent) Seekers after Truth. They sought diligently, persistently, carefully, cautiously, profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment--until they believed that without doubt or question they had found the Truth. That was the end of the search. The man spent the rest of his life hunting up shingles wherewith to protect his Truth from the weather. If he was seeking after political Truth he found it in one or another of the hundred political gospels which govern men in the earth; if he was seeking after the Only True Religion he found it in one or another of the three thousand that are on the market. In any case, when he found the Truth he sought no further; but from that day forth, with his soldering-iron in one hand and his bludgeon in the other he tinkered its leaks and reasoned with objectors." (from What is Man?)

-- Mark Twain

You will rarely get an answer to a direct question like that. They smell a trap.

Oh Wise MORMON Woman!

I have been unsuccessful in MY seeking of truth!!

Please help me find out the UNTRUENESS of PRESBYTERIANism that Joseph Smith claimed to have learned.

What is it?

Where did he learn it?

How did he learn it?
