Joseph Smith was as much a prophet as any other saint
His "miracles" are just as real
Refusing to examine the evidence is guaranteed to keep you in eternal ignorance on a matter. Some will examine it and decide to leave Mormonism and follow Jesus Christ - having learned the truth. Some will refuse to examine and decide to blindly follow a false prophet who squarely put himself in the place of Jesus Christ - even demanding that his followers give him a coronation - crowning him with a literal crown - to be the King of the Kingdom of heaven. There is only one King in the Kingdom of heaven, RW, and that King is Jesus Christ. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Not Joseph Smith. Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith refused to acknowledge who Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ is God.
All paths do not lead to heaven, RW. It would do you a great deal of good to go and learn what that means.
Joseph Smith refused to acknowledge who jesus is? Nonsense! He was murdered for His testimony of Jesus Christ.
Read the testimony he and Sidney Rigdon gave:
And while we meditated upon these things, the Lord touched the eyes of our understandings and they were opened, and the glory of the Lord shone round about.
And we beheld the glory of the Son, on the right hand of the Father, and received of his fulness;
And saw the holy angels, and them who are sanctified before his throne, worshiping God, and the Lamb, who worship him forever and ever.
And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—
That by him, and through him, and of him, theworlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God. (D&C 76:19-24).
He testified that Jesus was the son of God and did all things in the name of Christ. He saw the risen Lord and introduced many people to Him.
Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and restored the Church of Jesus Christ. He translated the Book of Mormon which exists to persuade both Jew and gentile that Jesus is the Son of God.
I exhort you to study this for yourself and not simply take the word of a publisher who profits on breaking the 9th commandment. Read the Book of Mormon for yourself.
What religion do you follow, Jeri?
I already told you, Ravi. I follow Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible. I am a Born again believer in Jesus Christ. I am a member of the Body of Christ.
I worship the Lord Jesus Christ and fellowship with other believers who believe the Doctrine of Christ written in the Bible - not the Doctrines of devils which are the basis for all false cults / teachings.
The purpose of this thread is to lead people out of darkness and into the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No man can come to the Father except through the Son. No man died on the cross for you. Only Jesus Christ. No man / false prophet can save you. Only Jesus Christ. Ye must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. Read John Chapter 3. Thank you for reading today, Ravi.
Actually, no. Religions are typically about headcount and converting the heathens, even when the heathens are religionists from a different brand of religion.Why do people focus on the negatives of other's religions, should they not focus on the positives of theirs and let people weigh the facts as presented?
While it is commendable that you recognize the Roman Vatican as Apostasy you must realize that Joseph Smith has provided more than enough evidence to expose himelf as a false prophet. Yes, the Pope is a false prophet. No question about it. He does not teach from Scripture but denies that Only through Jesus Christ can one find eternal salvation. But so does the Mormon teaching, Avatar. If you will look at the profile here of what the Mormons teach and what the Word of God teaches you will find they do not agree. If a teaching of man does not agree with the Word of God - we must throw it out as false and stay with the Word of God.popes don't write biblesRight not meant to attack Mormons but it claims Smith was a practitioner of witch craft. LOL you people will grasp at any straw to attack a religion that has never done a thing to hurt ot harm you or anyone else. Remind us how great the Pope is again?
That's because they lack the authority and don't receive revelation.
It's evidence of apostasy
It is written:
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
And again it is written:
King James Bible
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
The bottom line here is that by preaching the word and being instant in season and out of season - consistent - The Word of God does reprove, rebuke........IT CORRECTS WRONG DOCTRINE ERROR, FALSE TEACHINGS, FALSE PROPHETS - it is the final authority.
Not a book written by a man named Joseph Smith whose own followers revealed him to be a murderer, a thief, a liar, a con man, a womanizer, a false prophet, and a criminal.
God's prophets are not right "once in awhile " and then wrong the rest of the time - living like criminals and misleading others... people are perishing because of lack of knowledge here. It must be the King James Bible that is our plumb line here people - not any new teaching coming down the line - there have been name false teachers - Joseph Smith isn't the first person to try to replace Jesus Christ! Even calling for a coronation crown and all demanding he be crowned King of the Kingdom of heaven!
This is blasphemy, folks! Clear and simple! The word of God is to reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering (that is patience) and DOCTRINE. Which once again - is the Doctrine of Jesus Christ. NOT The Doctrine of a false prophet named Joseph Smith. Amen? Amen.
Please study the scriptures put up here today and let the Word of God penetrate your hearts. Stop trying to make excuses for something you know to be wrong and line yourselves up with the Word of God. Not a man who was fallible and misled millions. Thank you for reading today.
Now note the difference in what these Mormon missionaries teach in this video tract:
Who are you going to believe? The Word of God? Or Joseph Smith?
Why do people focus on the negatives of other's religions, should they not focus on the positives of theirs and let people weigh the facts as presented?
In late 1838, William W. Phelps, who had been a trusted Church member, was among those who bore false testimony against the Prophet and other Church leaders, leading to their imprisonment in Missouri. In June 1840, Brother Phelps wrote to Joseph Smith, pleading for forgiveness. The Prophet Joseph replied: “I must say that it is with no ordinary feelings I endeavor to write a few lines to you in answer to yours of the 29th [of last month]; at the same time I am rejoiced at the privilege granted me.
“You may in some measure realize what my feelings, as well as Elder Rigdon’s and Brother Hyrum’s were, when we read your letter—truly our hearts were melted into tenderness and compassion when we ascertained your resolves, etc. I can assure you I feel a disposition to act on your case in a manner that will meet the approbation of Jehovah, (whose servant I am), and agreeable to the principles of truth and righteousness which have been revealed; and inasmuch as long-suffering, patience, and mercy have ever characterized the dealings of our heavenly Father towards the humble and penitent, I feel disposed to copy the example, cherish the same principles, and by so doing be a savior of my fellow men.
“It is true, that we have suffered much in consequence of your behavior—the cup of gall, already full enough for mortals to drink, was indeed filled to overflowing when you turned against us, one with whom we had oft taken sweet counsel together, and enjoyed many refreshing seasons from the Lord—‘had it been an enemy, we could have borne it.’ [See Psalm 55:12–14.] ‘In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day when strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon [Far West], even thou wast as one of them; but thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother, in the day that he became a stranger, neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.’ [See Obadiah 1:11–12.]
“However, the cup has been drunk, the will of our Father has been done, and we are yet alive, for which we thank the Lord. And having been delivered from the hands of wicked men by the mercy of our God, we say it is your privilege to be delivered from the powers of the adversary, be brought into the liberty of God’s dear children, and again take your stand among the Saints of the Most High, and by diligence, humility, and love unfeigned, commend yourself to our God, and your God, and to the Church of Jesus Christ.
“Believing your confession to be real, and your repentance genuine, I shall be happy once again to give you the right hand of fellowship, and rejoice over the returning prodigal.
“Your letter was read to the Saints last Sunday, and an expression of their feeling was taken, when it was unanimously resolved, that W. W. Phelps should be received into fellowship.
“‘Come on, dear brother, since the war is past,
For friends at first, are friends again at last.’”
