Story of Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

So Paul says to prove all things and you thin you will be justified by ignoring it without any effort to actually investigate it

Do you think God is going to lead you astray if you ask Him for yourself?

You repeatedly demonstrate you have no clue what the Book of Mormon says. It's very purpose is to bring men to Christ. You seriously think the demons Inspired a book to bring men to Christ and help them understand the Atonement?

The Pharisees tried to convince the people that Christ did his miracles by demonic powers. He rebuked them "a house divided cannot stand"

I know by the power of.the Holy Spirit that the Book of Mormon was brought forth by the power of God. He teaches the doctrine of Christ.

If you want to minister to Mormons I can guarantee you will have no success until you know for yourself what is in the Book of Mormon. As long as you show ignorance of it and falsely claim Joseph didn't believe salvation was through Jesus Christ no one will give you any credibility
 
Avatar, you should think upon these few scriptures today and ask yourself why Joseph Smith was a man who warred in the flesh and wanted to emulate Mohammad rather than Jesus Christ. His militia, the Danites murdered Mormon people and non Mormon people they considered enemies - acting as judge - in place of God - to any Mormon who dared to leave the Mormon faith or marry an African American or committed adultery -to anyone who stood in their way - they justified themselves as executioners - which is against the teachings of Jesus Christ. This is the history of the teachings of the Mormon Faith.

You must realize that every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of Jesus Christ is a demonic imagination inspired by hell. (not the Spirit of God) Therein it should be taken into captivity, cast down, demolished. Not taken into your heart and nurtured as if it were the Pearl of great price. Jesus Christ is the Pearl of Great price and unless you leave all to follow him, you cannot have Him. It is all or nothing. You must choose who you will follow. Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith. I will be praying for you.

Here is the Scriptures I am speaking of:

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war in the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
 
Religions are all about gaining members.
Tell that to the Amish.
And the Shakers.

God is not concerned with numbers. Man is. The success of a church is not measured by the size of the building nor the number of its membership. The success - true success is spiritual not material - is measured by the power and strength of the prayer meeting. If a church has a membership of 1,000 and only 6 people show up for the prayer meeting - they do not have a church - they have a social club. There is no power. On the other hand, if a church consists of 10 people meeting from house to house and all ten show up each time praying on their faces for 6 - 10 hours for the presence of God to come - targeting prayers for the Believers and the future of the church - and the nation - that's evidence of a strong church. A Christian is only as powerful as their prayer life. A church is nothing more than the gathering of Christians - wherever that may be. So a church is no more effective than their prayer meetings.
Don't get hung up on a building or finances. God isn't impressed with building programs, finances or entertainment. The latter the mega churches use to bring in the crowds. (for money) Entertainment is Satan's counterfeit for joy. The more entertainment you need? The less of God you have.
 
God is concerned about the truth Jeremiah. And the fact is you've been lied to about Joseph Smith. I pray that someday you will read the Book of Mormon and come to see the powerful witness it has of Jesus Christ. I hope you will see what Joseph did and taught.

"By these things we know that there is a God in heaven, who is infinite and eternal, from everlasting to everlasting the same unchangeable God, the framer of heaven and earth, and all things which are in them;

18 And that he created man, male and female, after his own image and in his own likeness, created he them;

19 And gave unto them commandments that they should love and serve him, the only living and true God, and that he should be the only being whom they should worship.

20 But by the transgression of these holy laws man became sensual and devilish, and became fallen man.

21 Wherefore, the Almighty God gave his Only Begotten Son, as it is written in those scriptures which have been given of him.

22 He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto them.

23 He was crucified, died, and rose again the third day;

24 And ascended into heaven, to sit down on the right hand of the Father, to reign with almighty power according to the will of the Father;

25 That as many as would believe and be baptized in his holy name, and endure in faith to the end, should be saved—

26 Not only those who believed after he came in themeridian of time, in the flesh, but all those from the beginning, even as many as were before he came, who believed in the words of the holy prophets, who spake as they were inspired by the gift of the Holy Ghost, who truly testified of him in all things, should have eternal life,

27 As well as those who should come after, who should believe in the gifts and callings of God by the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of the Father and of the Son;

28 Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and eternal, without end. Amen.

29 And we know that all men must repent and believeon the name of Jesus Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and endure in faith on his name to the end, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.

30 And we know that justification through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is just and true;

31 And we know also, that sanctification through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is just and true, to all those who love and serve God with all theirmights, minds, and strength." (D&C 20:17-17)

You can ignore this if you want. But Joseph was a prophet of God who taught salvation through Jesus Christ. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying either out of ignorance or malice.
 
I hope that Tyroneweaver will have the opportunity to view this thread as he did mention he was a Mormon in a discussion on the board recently.
