IS That YOU?
Nevertheless....please respond.
Ben you are definitely a Mormon.
No wonder you have picked up Gregy boy as a fan...
You’d be grumpy too; knowing your GENTILE neighbors are chowing down on all the grill goodies, but YOUR god has better things for YOU to eat!
Heck; them dang neighbors may actually be DRINKING that liquor, too; instead of WASHING their bodies with it!!
Unless it was ol’ Gregy himself, but the ‘yawns’ belie PD retread.
Fun while it lasted, but I don’t expect to see him again any time soon. Just look at his posting history, he only shows up about once a year.
Ben -
You need to answer the serious question I placed to you. How can the God of Mormonism promise you forgiveness when he holds you accountable for every sin you repeatedly commit?
Don’t be a stranger
I hope all you folks enjoyed celebrating the freedoms, that we, as Americans, enjoy, yesterday.
A vast crowd, diverse and colorful, was dispersed across the lawn at Fair St. Louis, under the Arch. The high waters made the crowd a LOT more pressed together and personal space VANISHED! yet, though some feathers got ruffled, all seemed to be having a great time.
Today, basck on the job, we have work to do.
Bills to pay and a way of life to rescue from those who are in control right now.
Sure; it’ll be tough; but that is what Americans DO!

Rlds one?
I didn’t expect them to be there, the RLDS (CoC) have abandoned a lot of Smith’s teachings, including male only priesthood.
You have to look VERY closely to see the problems. If they would just abandon the BOM an D&C, they would well be on their way to being a Christian church, IMO.
HA ha!
So has Salt Lake City!
Not only his, but BY's as well!
Hey there MORMONs!!
Did your GOD give you an exemption on the FOURTH so you could eat some MEAT???
~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President
Well; it don't take no GOD to give exemptions, but a mere figurehead -
when the US Gov't says MEAT eating is LEGAL!
Ah... REVELATIONS!
What's NOT to love about GOD speaking directly to The PROPHET!!??
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHICHAPTER 224 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
Or even HERE:
1 Timothy 3:2-3
2. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3. not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.1 Timothy 3:12
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.Titus 1:6
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTSSECTION 13251–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.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.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.
BTTT
Just like most Christians...you repent.
Now, keep going to the Assemblies of God church, speak in tongues on Sunday, and stop worrying about me.
I will never convince you I am correct and you won’t convince me I am wrong = Impasse.
Please say “hi” to the Jonas Brothers...my daughters love them.
Over and out, Commander.

* Omni 1:25: "...exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel, and believe in prophesying, and in revelations, and in the ministering of angels, and in the gift of speaking with tongues, and in the gift of interpreting languages, and in all things which are good; for there is nothing which is good save it comes from the Lord; and that which is evil cometh from the devil."
* Alma 9:21: "Having been visited by the Spirit of God; having conversed with angels, and having been spoken unto by the voice of the Lord; and having the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and also many gifts, the gift of speaking with tongues, and the gift of preaching, and the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the gift of translation;"
* Mormon 9:24: "And these signs shall follow them that believein my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover;"
* Moroni 10:15-17: "And again, to another, all kinds of tongues; And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues. And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally, according as he will."
* DC 46:24-26, March 1831: "And again, it is given to some to speak with tongues; And to another is given the interpretation of tongues. And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God."
WHAT DOES MORMON HISTORY SAY? ---> http://www.frontiernet.net/~bcmmin/tongue1.htm
That's the Holy Spirit's job: we just plant some seeds.
Yes, and the Holy Spirit confirmed to me the truthfulness of my church. Impasse.
And I know what my scriptures say, so posting them as if I have never read them makes you look foolish. I was encouraging Godzilla to continue to talk in tongues on Sunday. You should too.
And I ate meat sparingly on the 4th of July.
If you had read earlier, I was an atheist and mocked Mormons and all other Christians in my high school relentlessly. So trying to hit me with doctrine is futile, as if I haven’t considered all of it. (Now comes the “if you had considered it, you wouldn’t have believed it...derr derr” stupid comments from all of you haters. I can just hear you all in your Elmer Fudd like voices).
I know all the arguments for and against every piece of doctrine and history of the church.
So get a life. I have a very full and happy one.
Cheers.
I will not be responding to any of you. So flame away dilholes!
Knowing what they SAY and OBEYING them are WAY different; don't you think?
Are you EATING MEAT in the summertime?
