lol u mad? the wicked take the truth to be hard, and you are doing just this.
Bruce r mcconkie was a TRUE apostle of the savior jesus christ, and people such as yourself are just as bad as the pharisees. please, dont just come on here and say your opinion, but explain how he is a false apostle?
I read the bible all the time, and you saying what you did explains a lot about how you dont understand the bible. I hope you come unto God and christ and stop opposing his servants smh
nope. your the one is wrong. Please dont call true apostles of GOD false. God is not pleased with your IGNORANCE. lol
me childish? your the one who has no evidence or proof for your concept, calling true ministers of God as false, I feel sorry for ya brother. I hope you come to the truth. My evidence for the BOM is the spirit of the lIVING GOD, the God who is not pleased with you.
you seem to be confused on the doctrines of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. Just because you say "he is false" means nothing, neither does it prove a thing.
please, give me more evidences for your concept because your opinion means NOTHING to me
@MrEastwood71 can you please work on your grammer smh
This is a man of GOD, and please understand, that this man knew the bible A LOT better than you probably do. you sir, are a false follower and need to come unto Gods true kingdom
@Outland2002 Actually we DO believe in the same Jesus Christ of the New Testament. I'm not sure from whence these misunderstandings arise. I don't know of any doctrines of our Church which cannot be found in the Bible. There are many who believe and spread strange rumors about us. But in reality we adhere strictly to the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles as recorded in the New Testament. And so why so much hatred and persecution?
Galatians 1 6-8..... I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel ; which is really not another ; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed !
@chriscason24 I didn't say ask our Lord? LOL He said it. If our literally God's children in which us Latter Day Saints believe. Is this not possible? Why do our convictions and beliefs closely tied to early Christian Fathers? You peabrain!
@chriscason24 So God lied when he said: ¶And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: And so did Christ when he said it again when He came in the flesh: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
@chriscason24 What do you mean I told myself? No, Apostle Paul told me in 1Corinthians 29! Oh wait he must be talking about all the pagans and liars who were baptizing each other for their dead. Right? LOL You guys all have the answers. Can't wait to hear this one? LOL Why is it that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is more in tune with the church Christ setup over 2 millenia ago than other churches? Why do we practice what the early church did and we're evil like them too? IDK
@chriscason24 First of all belief and faith is two different things! Faith is action word. The thief on the cross had a belief in Christ. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)The thief DID NOT go to heaven that day. He went to paradise to learn the gospel. How was he gonna submit himself to baptism? This is where revelation and Apostles and Prophets are needed who holds the keys! Baptism for the dead buddy!
@chriscason24 Obviously if you believed you would be baptized. Saved in a sense that will all be saved from death and that's called the resurrection and all will be judged according to what we did in this earthly life! And I hate to say it because it's called 'WORKS'. You/Me and every single person CANNOT be saved on works but belief and works go together like rowing a boat with two paddles. You row one paddle you go in circles! row them both and you go straight!
@chriscason24 LOL you contradicted this whole topic! LOL Your saying saying you don't have to be baptized and I'm saying you do. It's a indispensable requirement for all! ANd now you told me to read Mark 16:16 which clearly says: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. How and the hell was the thief gonna be baptized when he was getting crucified? True, he did have belief that Jesus was the Christ but that won't save anybody!
@chriscason24 What do you mean the Bible doesn't say that? When Christ was resurrected he told MAry He has not yet ascended to HIs Father. When Christ told the thief TODAY thou shal be with me in Paradise. That's exactly where they went. Remember Christ was in the tomb for 3 days in which Peter testifies of Christ mission 1Peter 3:18-20. Even Isaiah in the Old Testament says this. Isaiah 42:7. Why in the hell would Paul talk about baptism's for the dead? This is an indispensable requirement!
McC says that persecution proves that mormonism is true! JUST BEFORE 2.25!
Many of the things (all?) he brought up were ....Right out of LDS teachings!
Women DO NOT HAVE leadership roles in the LDS church! Only 'leadership' is in Women's Auxilary ('Relief Society'). Mormon decisions are all reached in Closed Meetings! rank-and-file members HAVE NO SAY in the Many Rules/Regulations...R&R of mormonism are Lame "Substitues" for Love, Golden Rule, etc.Christ said: Love God & Neighbor!
@chriscason24 First of all Paradise is not actually 'Heaven.' OK school time: When Christ was resurrected 3 days later he told Mary I have not YET ascended to my Father! So basically the thief was going to a place to learn called the spirit world. God's Kingdom is not filthy. A mere deathbed repentance will not get you into your so-called heaven buddy! There's need of faith (which the thief had), repentance, baptism, receiving the 'gift of the Holy Ghost'
@chriscason24 No No you got the scriptures all twisted! So what your saying is baptism is not required? We don't have to contend with LDS doctrine. You don't even have the basic Christian fundamentals down! SMH
@chriscason24 Christ set up a church! True follow Christ but follow His legal administers he left as He went away. So are you saying if you were in the Meridian of Time with the Apostles of old you wouldn't follow them? You would tell Peter, 'No thanks buddy! I'm gonna follow Christ. Don't need to be baptized cause Christ said just believe in Me.' Wrong!!!!! So wrong and you know it! You Haters are so funny!
@chriscason24 i already made the right choice,i became a member of the only true church on the entire face of this planet,the LDS church,better known as: CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTERDAY SAINTS.
@chriscason24 i beleive you have a hard time reading,because if you would read my comments,you would see that i beleive in Jesus Christ,and that i know that Jesus loves me,i can even testify of that,but you have a hard time to accept that i am from a different denomination then you. As for you claming that you for ever are saved,like i said before,Jesus will decide that,not you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@chriscason24 that is true,but once you are born of water and the spirit,you need to keep the commandments and show the Lord dayin,day out,until you die,that you are willing to serve Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@omiolo Im a mormon but what are your opinions on joseph smith being a free mason? and the fact him and brigham wore blood stones untill death around there kneck...... dont say its anti mormon stuff because it is not. It is fact and eveidence. Also what about the book of abraham being proven to be false due to people reading the parchment and it actually is details on egyptian burials. Im a mormon but as joseph was the voice of god then surely if one thing is wrong it brings it all into question
@artydean2 "the fact him and brigham wore blood stones untill death around there kneck"
PURE folklore, and KNECK (sp) is spelled NECK. The ONLY think you said to be true was that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were Masons. Find me an important religious leader of that time that was NOT.
@omiolo Im a passionate member of the lds church and they did have blood stones around there neck (there hopefully that makes you happy) im not trying to cause an argument im mearly asking for your thought on the matter. the blood stone around B.Y was found and cataloged! Also you never answered about the book of abraham being false. If 1 book of the POGP was false then surely the the whole chronice is false which brings in to question the BOM. which in turn being the corner stone of my religion
@omiolo would prove falsehood for the whole thing and therfore proving my religion to be false. Also the fact that god is said in the LDS church to be in human form is false when the scriptures clearly state he is of bird like apperance with feathers and wings. If you need the exact scripture i will get it but it is in psalm
@artydean2 "the fact that god is said in the LDS church to be in human form"
I do NOT even know what that means. However, in the LDS Church, men are created in the image of God. I don't know if that clarifies your nebulousness.
@omiolo Well you obviously do not no much about your religion, Man was not made in the image of god, as it says in genisis adam and eve where not in the image of god or Eloheim. You obviously dont now anything about the religion or christianity in general im not saying this stuff to have a go at you im mearly stateing passages from the bible and saying hard written fact. Stop being ignorant.

NEW YORK CITY -- You see them everywhere in New York City these days: smiling, happy faces looking down from billboards, beaming from subway advertising placards, flashing by on top of hundreds of taxi cabs and illuminating Times Square on a huge video display.
And believe it or not, they don't have anything to do with "The Book of Mormon," the Tony Award-winning musical that has taken Broadway by profanity-laced storm. These Mormons actually ARE Mormons, or better said, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
@chriscason24 Yes, I AM still part of this "wacky cult." I was calling it a wacky cult out of sarcasm, for those who keep putting down the church no matter how much Mormons try to defend it. I can't imagine being a member of any other church. As for your other questions, please ask a missionary or read one of the LDS books on the subject or go to an LDS website. Hope that helps.
@chriscason24 That's so true. I'm a convert to the LDS church since 1981 and I NEVER learned what parts of the Bible are misunderstood. I didn't do ANY research myself, the missionaries just forced their way into my home and brainwashed me into joining the church. Why, I haven't even picked up a Bible all these years. I've been too busy worshipping Joseph Smith and Satan, and sitting around in my magic underwear, just blindly following the leaders of this wacky cult.
However, these historic sites offer fun and engaging activities for visitors of all ages and all faiths For the next three months, the Newsroom website will run a summer travel series highlighting some of the major Mormon historic sites. ..
ST. CLOUD, Fla. -- Most Utahns are unaware that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns one of the biggest ranches in the country -- and it's nowhere near the Beehive State. Because of its prominent location
"Utahns and LDS [Latter Day Saints] people have a lower risk of cardiac mortality. Even today, despite the fact that smoking rates have declined in most states, and quite considerably in some states, the Utah rate of cardiac death is much lower than in most states," said Dr. Benjamin Horne, one of the team of researchers at the institute.
@omiolo Ya, It's hard to smoke and masturbate, Utah leads the nation in porn viewed and subscriptions.or take antidepressants, Utah leads the nation in antidepressants,especially women.or jack the paper work on a mortgage deal.Utah leads the nation in mortgage fraud.Or file for bankruptcy,you see,Utah leads the nation in that too.It also leads the nation in teen suicide in men between 15 and 25 years old.These are facts.So you can see why people just don't really have time to smoke in Utah
@omiolo Hey you can attact my character all you want,The facts remain the same.This IS what goes on in Utah.I'm not the perv,your fellow mormons are.Why don't YOU check out these facts,are you afraid of the truth?My bro in Utah says,theres even a billboard near Orem that says,Having trouble with porn? contact us.And BTW Who gives a flaming rats ass what the mormon church owns.That doesn't change what it is,A cult,another fact for ya.So quit bragging,the inword things are your problem
@TheSereika Oh you are so right! Mormons are nuts for wanting to avoid pornography. I'm a convert to the LDS church since 1981 and am planning to leave soon, thanks to all I have learned on these YouTube boards. The first thing I'll do is go buy Penthouse Magazine--heck I'll even pose for it--and then go to the liquor store and buy some "fine wine" because Jesus drank wine. Then I'm going to start using the a-word like Christians such as yourself do. Freedom at last!
@TheSereika Yes, you are right. I'm a convert to the LDS church and all my friends watch porn, take antidepressants, are bankrupt and want to kill themselves. That's why I'm getting out of this wacky cult because I don't want to end up like them. It will be so nice to be free, and order a margarita at Chili's and use the a-word like you do.
@cindybin2001 Hey Allright Cindy,That's a great choice! I'm happy for you.I'd hate to see you end up just another Utah statistic..I really think it's a terrible thing the an organization like that has created so much suffering,pain and death,just because of the preasure put on people to have to try to live up to those standards,and then demand to be called Christian.I'm sure once your out your look back and see what I mean.See ya at Chile's or was the A-word meaning Applebee's....LOL
Researchers from the Intermountain Medical Center's Heart Institute in Utah have found that regular fasting cuts the risk of both heart disease and diabetes. The study comes from Utah because the state's large number of Mormon residents are asked to fast at least once a month. For many of them, not eating at all has real, long-lasting health benefits.
Why do they turn on that phony, boring tone of voice,and lie like a dog while speaking.Salvation to a mormon means,total obedience the THEIR ordinances and laws.It's not what the Bible teaches,don't be fooled by it,if you fall for it,you will start sounding like this guy does.thus, becoming a liar yourself.
Mormon forefathers bore their testimonies for a different set of doctrines that are now said to be false by the current LDS church.
Some of these doctrines were: Adam as God, polygamy is essential to salvation, blacks will be denied the priesthood until the second comming of Christ, and blood atonment.
With Fredette, he's the same religion as a lot of the fanbase, he went to the religion's biggest university and he may be the best Mormon basketball player of all time. This may not be the smartest pick at No. 12, but I do not see how the Utah Jazz can
Linn, a devout Mormon, feels sure that the only reason he's alive today is because God has a purpose for him. In Iraq, he escaped injury from anti-personnel mines and improvised explosive devices as he guarded military convoys. ..
@JohnECocaine I realize in your ANTImormon world that PROFANITY is commonplace. However, we are Mormons and as such we try and keep EVERYTHING we do family oriented. In fact we worship a God who says, "suffer the children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven".
Refrain from PROFANITY and VULGARITY when doing ANYTHING associated with Mormons.
@omiolo Oh please as if your perfect. Did you get your green card yet ? you have been sucking up to the mormon community for some time now. Your motive is so transparent.
In this church only the rich White Men will be the head of IT, Not Christ Jesus! Open your freakin eyes and see through the mist of darkness, where are your tithing money going? Look I'm just saying that there's corruption every where even within the Church itself! Which is a very sad thing, that's one of the many many reasons, why the Church is not going to gain and retain many of it's members! SAD SAD for everyone!
@firewings12 Rich white men??!!Take a look at Church membership in Africa pal.Is it NOT called The Church of Jesus Christ,of Latter-Day Saints,hence,Jesus name.My tithing money goes to help fund MANY things within the Church and out of the Church,and the GREAT thing is that I can get it back if I wish to,by claiming it come tax time.Let me see here as for the end of your statement,during this recent General Conference this past weekend,stats were given as they always are.....
@firewings12 In 2010,over 230,000 people converted to this Church,today we have over 14 million members world wide.Your speaking in a form of attack and hatred and bitterness,what did this Church ever do to you??I am a convert of almost 15 years,I have heard it all,I have seen both sides,I know I am on the right side and choose to stay there.Shame on you to attack like this,NOT Christlike at all,why accuse us of such things?Are you so perfect that you can cast blame and judge like this??
@firewings12 Look into your heart,ask God for forgiveness daily,I am always in need of repentance,where is your faith my dear friend?Know ye NOT that God loves ALL His children.He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit.Read the words Of Christ in the Bible and Book of Mormon and pray about what you read.He will answer you,I love you,God loves you,go forward in faith my dear friend. ;o)
@LDStothecore Yes, these special witnesses to Christ and His restored gospel are a great example to us. We are commanded to always being learning and growing in our faith. If we are not moving forward, we are falling behind. There is no stagnant member of the church.
Oh, and has anyone ever realized, that these messages never change? These talks are the same even now in 2010. Is this a sign that eternal truths never change? Or perhaps, that there is a specific agenda and purpose for these talks, and it may be to prevent your minds from thinking outside the spiritual box presented. There is now other way, except the one presented, over and over and over again.
@jenni4jlss Actually,I think that is because we fail to listen and need a constant reminder,God sure has to repeat himself alot until we get through our heads,glad he is a patient loving God,REALLY glad.....
"We glory in our designation, it is our desire to be unique." All of these talks given twice a year are sufficient food for the collective Mormon ego. It takes constant care, and ego stroking to keep these people satiated. Without church every Sunday, activities during the week, and these general conferences every 6 months. These people might start having thier own thoughts and desires. Keep up the good work church leaders..... Your doing great!
Cries from shallow minds? From a guy who believes that everybody outside the Mormon faith has the wrong translation? That only the LDS is the true church?!
Mariott Hotels Have Over 100 Porn Movies In Every Room - M. Russell Ballard Stands In The Marriot Center And Advocates "Avoid The Enticements Of Satan"
We are grateful that the technology exists to be able to do what is going to be done," said Elder Gary E. Stevenson, president of the Asia North Area of the church.
"Each of our stories is so individual, so guided by personal revelation in a way that is meant just for us, that we cannot doubt the power of our personal missions, our individual relationships with the Savior, and the solitary responsibility we each have to make something of ourselves," McBaine says. "We gain confidence from knowing that we are known by the Lord, power from knowing we alone have the experiences and relationships that make us who we are."
"Sometimes that miracle may be just that you got there at all, and you arrived sweating and weary and feeling that you pulled the handcart alone through the heat of the day across the whole of the prairie," he said. "We should recognize heaven's gracious hand in seeing us through challenges as we seek our promised lands."
The geographic center of the promised land is a loving home, especially within marriage, Elder Clayton said.
Koeven and the other women who quilt at the center don't just do so to put a quilt in the gift shop. Some people bring in projects, which they pay the center to complete. Like all of the other quilters at the center, Koeven, who manages all the quilting endeavors, doesn't get paid but does the work for the center's benefit.
Elder Ballard said. "Spread that across the world and it's a powerful impact. This is a great system in order to bless the kingdom, and to help move the kingdom forward. We do it one student at a time."
"The talking of seminaries and institutes throughout the world has helped ... instill in the young people a knowledge of the gospel and a testimony and the pattern of going out on missions. ... I can't help but be a little personal as I think about my own children and the influence that their seminary and institute programs and experiences have had on them,"
The choir is featured along with its companion volunteer ensemble, the Orchestra at Temple Square, on the program.
The choir's musical director, Mack Wilberg, said, "This is especially significant for us, not only because of the very talented individuals who were also nominated with us in the National Pioneer category, but also because the selection was determined by vote of the American listening public."
@omiolo Yes but none that has been used to teach every seminary and institute class for over thirty years. Just like the Church tried to escape the nick name Mormons over the last 15 years now they are Mormons once More, so glad I am free of this.
@MrAccordionPimp I can count many books that were used for 20+ years as the standard for every sunday school class or priesthood class that are NO longer in print or used and that you have probably NEVER heard of. I think your knowledge is very limited.
@omiolo Don't tell me my knowledge is limited, worked many years in the Church CES system. The book you are referring to are revisions due to moderisation. You can't teach out of a manual that was written for a 1950's audience. I am aware Mormon Doctrine was not an official publication of the Church. HOWEVER, I must give Elder McConkie some credit . The publication does reflect the true Doctrine of the Church. FLASE
The Memphis temple was built on 61/2 acres already belonging to the church on the northern leg of Kirby-Whitten Road, where a meeting house is located.
Weekly services at meeting houses are open to non-church members, but after its dedication, only church members in good standing with signed recommendations by church leaders can go beyond a waiting room inside the front door of the temple.
The decision was made by church leaders in Salt Lake City in the late 1990s to increase the number of southeastern temples with the goal that eventually 90 percent of church members would live within two to three hours drive of a temple.
Other temples were built around the same time in Nashville, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Columbia, S.C.; and Raleigh, N.C.
"I told the missionaries that I wanted to speak with them, but we had to walk away where others weren't staring at us … As we walked the missionaries began to tell me the most wonderful story that I had ever heard," he said. "The gospel was something that made so much sense to me that I wished that my family and friends and even the people around me could hear what I was learning."
As McGuire explained elsewhere, it's also "worth noting that in the departure from Jerusalem, we get a moment when Lehi as Moses transitions to Nephi as Moses. That event occurs when Lehi murmurs — at that moment, Nephi has become the spiritual leader." The exodus pattern is repeated later in the Book of Mormon again as the Nephites arrive in the New World but are driven out by their warring brothers.
Nephi begins his story by telling us that in about 600 B.C. his father Lehi received a divine command to take his family and flee Jerusalem. This initial group consisted of Lehi, his wife Sariah, and their four sons, Laman, Lemuel, Sam and Nephi. Daughters are not mentioned probably because ancient patriarchal societies didn't mention females as frequently as males. Elder Erastus Snow, however (who knew Joseph Smith)
There's no doubt about it. This man truly was a witness of the NAME of Jesus Christ. Indeed, the Holy Ghost bore witness to him and his bretheren in the Council of the Twelve and the First Presidency that The Lord's name was in fact "Jesus Christ". If you doubt that, soften your heart b4 it's too late.
@GohModley That's funny considering the belief of the church is that God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus are all separate gods. The Jesus Christ that mormons believe in is not the Jesus Christ of the New Testament or the Old Testament.
@mikeyjwest So what? Do you really think that any of this shit matters anyway? You're just pissed cuz the Book of Mormon is a better missionary tool for Christian theology than the Bible. Ironic, huh?
@GohModley It matters. The Book of Mormon isn't Christian. The only people who think it is Christian are people who don't worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth and who don't perceive or believe Christ's claim to be Almighty God.
@mikeyjwest When an anti-Mormon has to pull the Mountain Meadows Massacre out of his back pocket during a theological/philosophical debate.........Need I say more?
@GohModley Umm, first of all, I'm not an anti-Mormon. Secondly, you said I was a holdover from the Thirty Years War and that was why I brought up the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Seriously, are you really such a hypocrite? You are really evil. You aren't doing all that you can do to reach the celestial kingdom.
Elder Neil L. Andersen, Quorum of the Twelve, promised single mothers they will feel the power of heaven blessing them as they speak of Jesus Christ to their children. He also made a special appeal to fathers to talk to their children about the Savior and his importance.
After joining the Church on Christmas Eve, 1987, Elder Kearon has served in numerous Church callings, including assistant ward clerk, ward Young Men president, bishops counselor, branch president, and stake president.
Elder Kearon was educated in the Middle East and the United Kingdom. He has lived and worked in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and the United States in various industries, including health care, food, automotive and transport. He currently runs his own communications consultancy. Civic and community involvement has included service on the boards of a charity, a school, an enterprise agency and a college.
On March 15, a Church-sponsored cargo plane laden with relief supplies and provisions landed in the Chilean capitol of Santiago. Traditionally, such airlifts have included first-response items such as food and water ?— but the Chilean shipment essentially consisted of building supplies and other non-food materials, including tents, tarps, sleeping mats, water purification bottles, blankets and diapers.
Several became members of the faculty at BYU or Ricks College (Now BYU-Idaho).
One headed the committee writing manuals for Sunday School gospel doctrine classes churchwide. Another became editor of the Ensign. Yet others became general authorities: Elders F. Melvin Hammond and H. Aldridge Gillespie of the Seventy.
Some of the missionaries' children have been called on missions, some back to the same area where their parents had served.
He also welcomed the sweet young woman who was in the congregation with the missionaries...her first time attending church...and then he invited her to be baptized from the pulpit. He asked her to please invite us to her baptism, and she said, "I will." The Lord always knows what His people need.
That religious freedom is now under unprecedented attack through various threats like abortion, gay marriage and gaps in health care — issues that weigh heavily on the minds of Catholics and Latter-day Saints alike, George said.
And despite theological differences, George emphasized that it's only by working together that the public exercise of religion can be protected.
With her grandmother ironing the colorful fabric, Sarah does all the sewing, stopping to fix mistakes. It gets easier and faster every day, she said. So far, Sarah has made 19 skirts that have been sent to the Church Humanitarian Center. Her goal is to make 30.
"It required a great deal of work on her part, as well as patience when she had to take out stitches and re-sew to correct mistakes," Sister Poyner said.
"I was really proud of her that even at that young age she's service-minded," Sister Poyner said.
Sarah chose to make skirts because a lot of people's clothes were probably destroyed in the earthquake, skirts wouldn't be too hot to wear in Haiti's warm climate, and they are much easier to make than other clothing, she said.

@omiolo too ignorant and bigoted you say. A doctrine that says there are some sins that cannot be forgiven but for the blood of that person and you call me ignorant and bigoted. It is the blood atonement doctrine that is ignorant of what Christ taught. It is those who believe this doctrine who are bigoted because they think that they are somehow more righteous than other sinners.
@omiolo The Bible says that if you break one of the commandments it is as if you've broken them all (James 2:11). How can there be some sins that are greater than others then? Jesus says that even if you hate your brother you are guilty of murder. Do you then have blood atonement for everyone who hates? This doctrine is so heretical and those that espouse them are equally heretical.
maybe you should QUOTE James 2:11, that will help you realize how wrong it is to equate sins. Some sins are sooo hideous that Jesus Christ Himself said if you commit these sins, it would be better a millstone was hung across your neck and you were drowned in the sea. But then again, I actually READ the Bible.

He cited a quotation from President Heber J. Grant who, in lauding the Sunday School organization, said he could ask almost any of the youth in the Church spontaneously to give a 15- or 20-minute talk on a principle of the gospel, and they could do it.
"Why could they do that in the Church 100 years ago, and it would be challenging for us now?" Brother Osguthorpe asked. "My only conclusion is that they were practicing it."
"Look at the restoration's content, don't get lost in the sometimes unclear details and footnotes," he said.
Elder Hafen related his remarks specifically to anti-Mormon literature found on the Internet, and stated that too many people of faith let initial curiosity give way to feelings of dismay and betrayal when they come across unfamiliar arguments against the church.

Steven D. Bone will soon commence his fifth year as an assistant recorder at the Ciudad Juarez Mexico Temple. The collateral damage from two warring drug cartels has been staggering in Juarez, the most dangerous city in Mexico judging by the nearly 4,000 murders that have taken place there over the past two years.
Temple attendance is rising, the members of the Church are reading the Book of Mormon, they are fasting and contributing more generously to fast offerings [and] the number of temple workers is increasing — as is the number of full-time missionaries."
Bruce R McConkie was one of the most parochial, ignorant and authoritarian of all LDS leaders. Just read what he has written about the Catholic Church, Islam and Evolution. With regard to the latter, McConkie said that it was "false and devilish" and that it could not be harmonised with "revealed religion" (by which he means Mormonism, of course). There is overwhelming evidence for Evolution! Only ignorance or blind faith deny it.

@chriscason24 First of all belief and faith is two different things! Faith is action word. The thief on the cross had a belief in Christ. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)The thief DID NOT go to heaven that day. He went to paradise to learn the gospel. How was he gonna submit himself to baptism? This is where revelation and Apostles and Prophets are needed who holds the keys! Baptism for the dead buddy!

@chriscason24 Obviously if you believed you would be baptized. Saved in a sense that will all be saved from death and that's called the resurrection and all will be judged according to what we did in this earthly life! And I hate to say it because it's called 'WORKS'. You/Me and every single person CANNOT be saved on works but belief and works go together like rowing a boat with two paddles. You row one paddle you go in circles! row them both and you go straight!

@chriscason24 LOL you contradicted this whole topic! LOL Your saying saying you don't have to be baptized and I'm saying you do. It's a indispensable requirement for all! ANd now you told me to read Mark 16:16 which clearly says: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. How and the hell was the thief gonna be baptized when he was getting crucified? True, he did have belief that Jesus was the Christ but that won't save anybody!
90Irocem 5 months ago
@chriscason24 What do you mean the Bible doesn't say that? When Christ was resurrected he told MAry He has not yet ascended to HIs Father. When Christ told the thief TODAY thou shal be with me in Paradise. That's exactly where they went. Remember Christ was in the tomb for 3 days in which Peter testifies of Christ mission 1Peter 3:18-20. Even Isaiah in the Old Testament says this. Isaiah 42:7. Why in the hell would Paul talk about baptism's for the dead? This is an indispensable requirement!

@chriscason24 First of all Paradise is not actually 'Heaven.' OK school time: When Christ was resurrected 3 days later he told Mary I have not YET ascended to my Father! So basically the thief was going to a place to learn called the spirit world. God's Kingdom is not filthy. A mere deathbed repentance will not get you into your so-called heaven buddy! There's need of faith (which the thief had), repentance, baptism, receiving the 'gift of the Holy Ghost'

The choir is featured along with its companion volunteer ensemble, the Orchestra at Temple Square, on the program.
The choir's musical director, Mack Wilberg, said, "This is especially significant for us, not only because of the very talented individuals who were also nominated with us in the National Pioneer category, but also because the selection was determined by vote of the American listening public."

@MrAccordionPimp I can count many books that were used for 20+ years as the standard for every sunday school class or priesthood class that are NO longer in print or used and that you have probably NEVER heard of. I think your knowledge is very limited.

@omiolo Don't tell me my knowledge is limited, worked many years in the Church CES system. The book you are referring to are revisions due to moderisation. You can't teach out of a manual that was written for a 1950's audience. I am aware Mormon Doctrine was not an official publication of the Church. HOWEVER, I must give Elder McConkie some credit . The publication does reflect the true Doctrine of the Church. FLASE

The Memphis temple was built on 61/2 acres already belonging to the church on the northern leg of Kirby-Whitten Road, where a meeting house is located.
Weekly services at meeting houses are open to non-church members, but after its dedication, only church members in good standing with signed recommendations by church leaders can go beyond a waiting room inside the front door of the temple.
omiolo 1 year ago
The decision was made by church leaders in Salt Lake City in the late 1990s to increase the number of southeastern temples with the goal that eventually 90 percent of church members would live within two to three hours drive of a temple.
Other temples were built around the same time in Nashville, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Columbia, S.C.; and Raleigh, N.C.

As McGuire explained elsewhere, it's also "worth noting that in the departure from Jerusalem, we get a moment when Lehi as Moses transitions to Nephi as Moses. That event occurs when Lehi murmurs — at that moment, Nephi has become the spiritual leader." The exodus pattern is repeated later in the Book of Mormon again as the Nephites arrive in the New World but are driven out by their warring brothers.

Elder Erastus Snow, however (who knew Joseph Smith), claimed that the lost 116 pages mention Ishmael's sons marrying Lehi's daughters.
omiolo 1 year ago
Nephi begins his story by telling us that in about 600 B.C. his father Lehi received a divine command to take his family and flee Jerusalem. This initial group consisted of Lehi, his wife Sariah, and their four sons, Laman, Lemuel, Sam and Nephi. Daughters are not mentioned probably because ancient patriarchal societies didn't mention females as frequently as males. Elder Erastus Snow, however (who knew Joseph Smith)

There's no doubt about it. This man truly was a witness of the NAME of Jesus Christ.

With her grandmother ironing the colorful fabric, Sarah does all the sewing, stopping to fix mistakes. It gets easier and faster every day, she said. So far, Sarah has made 19 skirts that have been sent to the Church Humanitarian Center. Her goal is to make 30.
"It required a great deal of work on her part, as well as patience when she had to take out stitches and re-sew to correct mistakes," Sister Poyner said.

@omiolo too ignorant and bigoted you say. A doctrine that says there are some sins that cannot be forgiven but for the blood of that person and you call me ignorant and bigoted. It is the blood atonement doctrine that is ignorant of what Christ taught.

@omiolo The Bible says that if you break one of the commandments it is as if you've broken them all (James 2:11). How can there be some sins that are greater than others then? Jesus says that even if you hate your brother you are guilty of murder. Do you then have blood atonement for everyone who hates? This doctrine is so heretical and those that espouse them are equally heretical.

maybe you should QUOTE James 2:11, that will help you realize how wrong it is to equate sins. Some sins are sooo hideous that Jesus Christ Himself said if you commit these sins, it would be better a millstone was hung across your neck and you were drowned in the sea. But then again, I actually READ the Bible.

He cited a quotation from President Heber J. Grant who, in lauding the Sunday School organization, said he could ask almost any of the youth in the Church spontaneously to give a 15- or 20-minute talk on a principle of the gospel, and they could do it.
"Why could they do that in the Church 100 years ago, and it would be challenging for us now?" Brother Osguthorpe asked. "My only conclusion is that they were practicing it."

Bruce R McConkie was one of the most parochial, ignorant and authoritarian of all LDS leaders. Just read what he has written about the Catholic Church, Islam and Evolution. With regard to the latter, McConkie said that it was "false and devilish" and that it could not be harmonised with "revealed religion" (by which he means Mormonism, of course). There is overwhelming evidence for Evolution! Only ignorance or blind faith deny it.
