BLASPHEMY DELETED

Now who here has actually read the Book of Mormon? I have read it, and much of the bible. I am currently working on finishing it.

I knew it. Typical false Christian, comes in here telling US we're wrong when he's unfamiliar with the Word of God. And while you're here, let's try to capitalize Bible, OK? Show God a little respect while you're on His Favorite Forum©.

We don't need to read anything besides the Lord's True Word. We were warned by our savior not to add falsehoods:

Revelation 22:18-19
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book

I hope you enjoy Christ's plagues you LSD polygamous false prophet worshiping

Re: What is a Mormon?

@Capt: I think it is a little prideful and presumptuous to assume to know anything that is the Lord's favorite that He has not Himself stated. But okay.

@Johnathon: Come now, friend. I don't recall Christ using words like that... neither should you. Now, about the polygamy bit. Two points:

1. Mormons don't actually practice it anymore. There was a time when the Lord commanded it, and when that time ended, so did the practice of it.

2. There are many occasions on the Bible when the people were commanded to practice polygamy so to put down the LDS church for practicing it would be to put down God and His commandments. I thought you were a true christian.

@Zech: I will get those passages for you. It'll prolly be a day or two as I need to look into it.

Re: What is a Mormon?

Many, many years ago as a younger man. I eagerly asked the missionaries questions regarding your faith.

I was okay with all of it until my last question. Where are the golden tablets and seer stones?

Their faces fell as they told me, "They were taken up to heaven."

That sealed it. There was no truth in what they were telling me and they knew it. Just like deep down inside in the places you don't look in you know it too. No evidence less than 200 years afterward.

You haven't even READ THE BIBLE! Don't tell me what Jesus thinks! I follow the KJV1611 to the LETTER and I will not have some snot-nosed little Mormon turd lecturing me on God's will!

You're on thin ice boy, VERY thin ice!

Re: What is a Mormon?

For the record, my responses will show the same courtesy and respect that the statement they are responding to showed. If you don't want me to say something untoward, don't say something yourself. We are all adults, and disciples of Christ, we can act like it too.

I am very eager to discuss things with you all, and for the most part am deeply enjoying this conversation, any hostility on my part is not personal.. only equal.

You are not a disciple of Christ; you have not studied Christ's words enough, and you believe in falsehoods. Cease this slander against the True Disciples.

We present you with God's word and you still sidestep the realization that you are wrong and that you spit on your LORD.

I will only tell you this one more time:

YIC, Johnathan.

Re: What is a Mormon?

@ Levi Jones: Well, the thing is I have prayed a great deal and pondered deeply about the truthfulness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ(That being the current standard works of the LDS church) and I know without any doubt that it is true. Though, I understand not all receive that same surety as I have. Also, I appreciate the kindness you have shown me in responding to me as courteously and respectfully as you have.

@Capt: Sir, if you have not noticed, your compatriots Pastor Peters, Rev. Rodimer, and Pastor Jones all spoke and acted kindly in responding to my statements and were shown the same kindness and respect. I have nothing against you, and would love to shwo you that respect. But demanding it and throwing out childish insults isnt how you are going to get it. You are welcome to ban me, and I will be disappointed if you do so.... OR you could just change your wording a bit and we can all gain a great deal from this conversation. Besides... what chance have I to be converted to your faith if I cannot speak with you about it?

[Johnathan]

Re: What is a Mormon?

While you cannot count yourself among Christ's disciples, I see that you are willing to learn the Truth™. For that, I will show you my Christian graciousness.

Please tell us more so that we can rebuke and that Christ may begin saving your soul.

YIC, Johnathan.

This isn't your forum, you don't get to make the rules. I tell it like it is friend, and the truth is, you're a false Christian spreading lies about Jesus. We're unequally yoked you and I, and the Bible is very clear on how we True Christians™ should treat non-believers.

2nd Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us

As I recall, most of, if not all of Christs twelve disciples had not studied His words at all.

@Capt: As to how we should treat our neighbors, please read the book you so heartily defend. Specifically Matthew 22:39

Perhaps YOU should read KJV, my friend.

Please respond to this. Though I must now get some sleep. I look forward to continuing this conversation tomorrow, yes?

2nd John 1:9-11
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

You and your whole lousy cult have adulterated and added to the Word of God, the KJV1611, therefore you do not abide in Christ. It's just that simple. If you want my kindness and fellowship, you can start by renouncing your belief in Joseph Smith and his made-up stories about white Indians and Jesus coming to America after He was crucified!

[Levi Jones]

Re: What is a Mormon?

Oh, yes.. thank you fro reminding me.

It is brought up on occasion the passages in the bible the state there should be no more additions to it.

The pastor did not only bring up that there should be no addition to the Bible. He brought up something much more specific.

I would point you to Galatians 1:8 again.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The fact that Paul specifically warned against this sort of chicanery.

You claim there are no issues between the Bible and the BOM.

I draw your attention to 1 Nephi 13:26

26 And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away

Do you see where an actual Christian could take issue with that, Aaron?

Re: What is a Mormon?

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

This person is clearly a heathen trying to seduce us to his dark master. I really don't see the point in ignoring scripture on this matter.

No friend, no you do not. I wrote TWO posts to you, which you rudely ignored.
You have come into OUR house of worship, asked us questions, where we immediately responded with scripture from the Bible and all you have done is danced about like a beaner in Julie Newmar movie. You never posted scripture or backed up any of your comments with anything more than "I'll get back to you on it'.
So if your idea of courtesy and respect is to ignore and obfuscate questions, then you need to learn some manners. Pronto.
