Why was the previous post removed?
We cannot know what we should not post if we NEVER see what was offensive to the RMs
It was name-calling.
I don’t know what #419 was I was answering Restornu’s #418 at the time and missed it
who posted it ???
Why are you Mormons of all people acting like Joey Smith is your god ???
no laughing matter

I never called JS a God,, nor did he act like one, he was a prophet a humble servant of the Lord, he will always be a servant of the Lord, even when he becomes joint heirs with the Lord.
Just like everyone else who also becomes a joint heir with the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am amazed at how many fine this hard to acknowledge what the Lord has spoken and has promise to those who are His.
Romans 8
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Resty, Joey Smith never used Romans 8:16, 17 to prove his points...
He didn’t acknowledge that the Bible was and word of God even though he plagiarized some of Isaiah and other parts of the Christian bible...
Joey Smith was not humble and he was not a prophet...
Resty a humble man would never say that he was greater than the LORD Jesus Christ...
But Joey Smith did in May 1844..
one month later God destroyed Joey Smith who had made himself an the enemy of God ...
Joey Smith was never a joint heir with the LORD Jesus Christ..
Yes God has made promises to those who are His...
but Joey Smith was never one of them...
Joey Smith was just a murderer, a liar and a thief...
He didn’t even make a good carnival barker..

Yes Joey Smith did not act like one but he thought he was one...an entitled god...the power he had over people went to his head..he crowned himself “king of the world” and made himself a lt general and the men around him kissed up to him for favors and a share in the stolen women and goods..
Your Mormon leaders declared Joseph Smith a god and Brigham Young and others claimed that nobody could go to the Mormon afterlife without the say-so of Smith...that he had somehow “earned” the right to decide who would pass by him and into that after life..
Your approved secret sacred Mormon literature states that Smith is or was a god to the Mormons and that everything he said and done was of the gods ...
Your Mormon leaders and your litature also stsate that Joey Smith is the “savior” of the Mormns and that he was a martyr and shed his blood to save you...
the most important song to the Mormons is not one of worship for the LORD Jesus Christ but one of praise for a man...Joey Smith...
On Sunday mornings I sing and worship and thank my God and savior, Jesus Christ for dying for me and saving me...
The Mormon sing of the sacrifice Joey Smith did for the Mormons and that those who don’t praise him will be punished...
Resty that’s making a god of Joey Smith...

no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are—I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation—the keys to rule in the spirit-world; and he rules there triumphantly, for he gained full power and a glorious victory over the power of Satan while he was yet in the flesh, and was a martyr to his religion

My brothers and sisters, in this bicentennial year of his birth, I should like to speak of our beloved Prophet Joseph Smith. . . . In the 135th section of the Doctrine and Covenants we read the words of John Taylor concerning the Prophet Joseph: “Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it.” [D&C 135: 3]
(Thomas S. Monson, counselor to President Gordon B. Hinckley, the semi-annual LDS Conference in Salt Lake City, 2005)

The day will come—and it is not far distant, either—when the name of the Prophet Joseph Smith will be coupled with the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of God, as his representative, as his agent whom he chose, ordained and set apart to lay anew the foundations of the Church of God in the world, which is indeed the Church of Jesus Christ, possessing all the powers of the gospel, all the rites and privileges, the authority of the Holy Priesthood, and every principle necessary to fit and qualify both the living and the dead to inherit eternal life, and to attain to exaltation in the kingdom of God.[5]

God made Aaron to be the mouth piece for the children of Israel, and He will make me be god to you in His stead, and the Elders to be mouth for me; and if you don’t like it, you must lump it.
Joseph Smith at the LDS Conference on April 8, 1844, History of the Church, vol. 6, pp. 319-320.
God is in the still small voice. In all these affidavits, indictments, it is all of the devil—all corruption. Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter- day Saints never ran away from me yet.

Quotes from the December 2003 Mormon magazine Ensign article entitled “Joseph Smith: Restorer of Truth,”
“We stand in reverence before him [Joseph Smith]. He is the great prophet of this dispensation. He stands at the head of this great and mighty work which is spreading across the earth. He is our prophet, our revelator, our seer, our friend. Let us not forget him. Let not his memory be forgotten in the celebration of Christmas. God be thanked for the Prophet Joseph”
(Gordon B. Hinckley, the fifteenth president of the LDS Church, Ensign article entitled “Joseph Smith: Restorer of Truth,” December 2003)

a murder really its gets screwier by the moment just make it up as you go along why stop now...
I assure you he is not destroyed even it the antis dream of that, and that statement surrounding it is still very vague,
I know the Lord after all his life time JS spent building up the Lord Kingdom and how magnificent and orderly the Lord’s Kingdom on earth is today and still preparing for the Lord’s return...
So he was a great prophet...
why does this consume you it not even on the radar of LDS just getting through the day like everyone else is enough...
Many here think about this more than the LDS...
I am looking forward to the thousand years of peace won’t have time to chitchat with you.. will be busy doing genealogy and baptism for the dead working in the Lord’s vineyard.
Oh what a glorious time that will be all the evil ones will be done away with.
thousand years of peace .. will be busy doing genealogy and baptism for the dead
