Really? Thats as He always wanted it to be? Only 12 to hold the priesthood at any given time?

Then that would tend to put the lie to the LDS practice of ordaining LDS males to the priesthood when they reach 12 years of age.

If this was as Jesus always wanted it to be...then every last worthy member of the LDS Church might as well kiss their priesthood authority nighty-night...except of course for the Quorum of the Twelve.

Don't play the idiot Jaye, although you do it well. Christ instituted the 12 apostles, and gave them the Preisthood. You know this, (at least I think you do ) He never said it would change, it hasn't.

Hey "Dar Dar"
Why don't you print off your posts on this forum and, send them to the LDS Church headquarters in Salt Lake City. Then find out what their opinion is, of your "defence of the faith"

That's why, Dubbs, you need to turn to Jesus for guidance instead of man made organization.

It sounds like Uncle buck would disagree, as he considers us a cult, or at least copy and pasted that we are, which is typical Christian attitude of other faiths. There all burning in hell, right Uncle?


Do you agree with Hansens original post about other churches?> thats what I replied to no need to play the persecution card.


No I didn't, but if you responded in an attack mode wouldn't that make you playing the persecution card?

In Summary

Sometimes the cults will bring up some strange doctrine/s and because Bible-believers are not acquainted with the Scriptures, they are thrown into confusion.

Is this your case?

Sometimes it is much worse than merely being thrown into confusion, that is, the gullible, naive and exploitable do get deceived into a group that ludicrously believes in God the Mother, that Jesus is the Spirit-brother of Lucifer, that God was once a man and man can become God, etc.

You may not believe in a Heavenly Mother. That is an understandable stance. Religion is male dominated. Females have always been discriminated against. Just who is the exploited one? I'm not sure that is something to brag about. If you can't grasp the concept of Jesus and Lucifer, then don't. etc.

It is vitally important that we all recognize Joseph Smith Jr. for what he was based on Scripture, that is, a false prophet and therefore a deceiver (Mt. 24:11). There is no need to pray about the Book of Mormon (or the LDS church) because we don’t lack knowledge about it or its founder.

Good for you. If that works for you, go for it.

Smart enough to realize that mormonism contradicts the word of God the Bible!

If the Bible has obvious errors, how do you know it's contradicting? Maybe the bible is in error?

That is a great point. And, personally, thank you for the polite decency of how it is phrased.

I guess it's ok as a "christian" to go around calling other faiths a cult and posting belittling and mocking comments about them?

Friggin hypocrite.

I never said I was a Christian.

Nor did I call anyone's church a cult.

I was just pointing out what a pinheaded idiot you are.

Re:VATICAN KEEPS PARISH RECORDS FROM MORMONS 3 Hours, 29 Minutes ago Karma: 0 Karma+ Karma-
The reason baptisms for the dead are performed are as follows:
1. Baptism is essential to entrance into the Celestial Kingdom. ONLY baptisms performed by a someone having authortiy from Jesus Christ are valid and binding beyond the grave. The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the ONLY church on earth having athority from Jesus Christ.
2. The athority to seal on earth and seal in heaven was restored to the Prophet Joseph Smith by Elijah the prophet.
3. Baptisms for the dead are not new to "true Christianity". The apostle Paul speaks of baptism for the dead in the New Testiment "else what shall they do which are baptised for he dead if the dead rise not at all.....". Paul was teaching about the resurrection and asked the question "why do we baptise for the dead if there is no resurrection"?
4. The Catholics don't understand baptism for the dead simply because the Catholic church is man made and contains only a fraction of the truth along with a whole lot of error. Judisam is the same.
5. Mormons baptise deceased ancestors because they are commanded to do so. Baptising a dead Catholic or Jew doesn't make them a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. They have their free agency to accept or reject the baptism - as they do here on earth. hansen2027 why golly gee dubbs was this not a slam against other churches you forget that your beliefs offend many others stop crying persecution!!!!
