In Memory of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin_A Tribute

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Did you know he was first half-cousin to Gordon Bitner Hinckley?

[Wehrheim04]

Yes, I knew.

[omiolo1]

"first half-cousin"

my understanding is there is NO half involved, he is a full cousin. Their mothers are sisters.

correct me if I am wrong.

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Are they?

[siobhansmommy]

God bless him..he's with his dear wife now. I'm not LDS but this fellow stood for something and dedicated his life to his Church. God will reward him;didn't Jesus say<"In My Father's house there are many mansions"? There's room for all of us who try to follow Christ.

[omiolo1]

Heaven is now an even better place.

Elder Wirthlin is now reunited with the his God and the love of his life, his wife.

Another false apostle dead. Good. Too bad Mormonism doesn't have 12 Apostles, but 12 Perpetual Apostolic Offices.

[omiolo1]

the Pharisees I see are still wishing the Prophets and Apostles dead.

the more things change the more things stay the same!

[minorityop]

Spoken like a true ignoramus who thinks that "Pharisee" is a title of insult.

Did you ever stop to consider why Pharisees would be proud to carry such an insulting title?

Probably not.

[Wehrheim04]

Probably because Satan made them so... Spoken like a true ignoramus who thinks Pharisee is a nice compliment, whereas Christ considered them the worst kind... Maybe you never ever stopped to consider what true Christianity is all about, and that's sad.

[omiolo1]

""Pharisee" is a title of insult."

I am sure you embrace it.

now yell "crucify him, crucify him"

and we have completed the trifecta!

[minorityop]

This shows what an irrational Jew-hater your bogus scriptures have turned you into.

The word Pharisee means "separated", which is exactly what the children of Israel are commanded to be in the Torah given by the Creator.

Tell me, how is it that Yeshua is the only anti-Rabbi Rabbi in history?

[omiolo1]

"an irrational Jew-hater"

actually it shows the opposite, but you are too blinded by your disdain for others to see that.

now REPENT!

[minorityop]

Wow, "REPENT!", eh? That may have worked on your mission (though I doubt it), but first let's establish which of us needs to do the repenting.

You are a Mormon? Then you must claim to be of one of the tribes of Israel.

What commandments are incumbent upon children of Israel to observe "forever" and "throughout all their generations"?

And why aren't you observing them, Israelite?

Is it because you place faith in a false messiah?

[omiolo]

"but first let's establish which of us needs to do the repenting."

I think we call what you are trying to do "justification" the bad kind.

[omiolo]

"Then you must claim to be of one of the tribes of Israel."

I am actually part native american!

[Wehrheim04]

The only cold thing here is your spiteful, cold gravy Anti- comment. You really show how much Christian you are by despising even a great man now dead, who spent his whole life, up until 91 years of age, to serve God and his neighbour. So, well done, your comment is not even worth one cent, much less your unjust judgment (the Bible speaks against these things, if I am not wrong...).

[minorityop]

I'm not Christian.

I know Wirthlin like you don't know Wirthlin, obviously.

--Returned Mormon Missionary who Served in Utah

[Wehrheim04]

As a lifetime student of Judaism (still learning about this marvelous faith), especially focusing on WWII events, I find your comments quite sad... You obviously do not know nor recognize a true servant of the Lord, and the fact you served in Utah did not quite help, nor the parable of the empty house did... Why can't you leave the Church alone? Does conscience restrain you from doing it? What does God tells you, if and when you listen to Him?
