The Twilight saga is actually about the Mormon belief in eternal marriage.
The Twilight series, by Mormon author Stephanie Meyers, is an allegory for the Mormon concept of "celestial marriage" - the belief that a couple that is "sealed" in a Mormon temple will stay bound together forever...
Edward and Bella's bond is sealed when Edward bites Bella. As with a Mormon marriage, there's no turning back for Bella, who is transformed into a vampire for eternity.

The Mormon church thinks polygamy might be okay in the afterlife.

The LDS...tried to distance itself from...40,000 fundamentalist Mormons who still practice polygamy...

I know God lives
_____________________________________________
Kid I really cant guess what you mean by this remark
A Christian would say that they know Jesus lives or Christ lives
I dont know if Ive ever seen a Bible scripture that just states “God lives”
Usually its God lives in us, them, those, etc
The Hymn He Lives He Lives Christ Jesus Lives Today is about Jesus
However as the LORD Jesus Christ IS God, and has always been God, the judges will accept that answer and let you have the points...
Lies Mormons Tell #7 Attack the Person [since you have no facts, evidence or logical argument]
Lies Mormons Tell #8 Pretend anything that points out the truth is boring, old or previously answered.
"I find it appalling there are people like you who claim to be Christian but act nothing like it. As if that would persuade me, acting like Mark Halperin’s description of Obama."
"Search deep, you are a miserable person. I feel sorry for you."
Lies Mormons Tell #7 Attack the Person [since you have no facts, evidence or logic, but only feelings]
LOL, I'm not asking for much ben. BOM for most of the 'story' is approximately 600 B.C. to 421 A.D (not including the jaredites) - so lets compare apples to apples ben. According to the bom, the lands were covered from sea to sea and the people were countless were they not? By all common principles of archaeology for the above timeframe, there should be warehouse upon warehouse of artifacts for the bom. Where are they? Countless museums are full of bible artifacts - city upon city are know, peoples, places, events all preserved and confirmed via archaeology. Now please - name just one city here in the americas that has been undisputedly identified as being of mormon origin. Where are the steel swords ben? The evidence of a metallurgically advanced society. These are all young enough (according to the history of the bom) to exist in abundance.
Or perhaps you may be confused as to where to look. You mormon apologists 'claim' that the bom land range from all of the western hemisphere to a tiny postage stamp area in central america. From Baja California, to the Malaysian peninsula to even Africa.
The (mormon) crickets are beginning to chirp loudly ben.
And that isn't even getting into dna, linguistics, anthropology or anachronisms.
May be you have answers now.
Or is the act of derangement believing that a piece of 1800's fiction contains a true story of peoples in some undefined/located area of the world.
Middle Earth of the "Lord of the Rings" is more believable Ben.
Yes. As in John 1:1
So, yes, God Lives. Jesus Christ.
Now, get some rest kid. There is a busy weekend ahead along with the celebration of freedoms this Monday.
Happy 4th to you all!
Oh you. You are so clever aren’t cha’ peanut?
You silly.
***yawn***
Ben, did Joseph Smith claim top be the prophet of your religion?
You finally got me!!!
Where can I join your sect???
Please, give me the address so I can come by sometime!!!
I am very happy in my faith and would never consider changing.
- - - - - -
I said the same thing once. God changed my mind.
And if by ‘top private school’ you mean BYU, ROFL. When I told my grad school advisor I went to BYU, he told me not to put in on my CV. No one in certain fields is accepted if they went to BYU.
Our existance, and in fact a demand of our faith is to counter heresies and cults. What we do is speak the truth about Mormonism, truth that the LDS need to hear.
Yep, we tend to crowd in on the turf of mormon missionaries time and again. Yet you have no clue as to how I act, so you are in no position to judge me now can you.
Lessee - OK for mormon missionaries to do their thing
Not OK for Christians to present a counter message
Got it.
Matthew 5:10. I totally get it now. Thanks for showing me the light.
LOL - the persecution card gets played, how typical, just like the race card.
Ro 3:10* As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Oopsie, that darn Apostle Paul, must have so much hatred built up eh ben?
Isa 64:6* But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Then there is that prophet's 'opinion' eh ben. Look up the term "filthy rags" ben to really see how God views people's claimed 'righteousness'. That will show you the light.
I couldn’t be more happy with my life. Search deep, you are a miserable person. I feel sorry for you.
Well they say ignorance is bliss. . . . wanting the church to be true more than the truth. BTW, when I search deep I find Jesus.
And where can I attend your church? I would love to meet you and say “thank you” for converting me.
You seem like such a Christ-like individual. I am very impressed. I would definitely enjoy going to church with you and others like you. You seem so kind. Really, I can’t get over it.
And yes, this is another Mormon Lie
We aren’t headed for the same place. I’m headed to the presence of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for eternity...Mormons are headed elsewhere...Hell.
But you still have time to repent and be saved by grace. Your choice.
I have read all of the attacks on the church. I know all of them. I would bash Mormons in high school. So yes I read those posts. Same old arguments I have known for decades.
- - - - -
Shame you didn’t pay attention to them. Of course, i don’t believe you because no one with an ounce of intelligence could REALLY investigate Mormonism and actually join. The lies are too easy to uncover.
You convinced me. Where is your church? I want to check it out. Address please.
I didn’t go to BYU. I went to Stanford but your argument about BYU is BS. You have no idea what you are talking about.
LOL. Homage to the “Exorcist” movie but yeah, Moron(i) is no match for the great ‘zilla.
