you mormons in your next life your going to spend eternity in hell unless you repent. once u die then comes judgement on you. if your not written in the book of life you will be cast into the lake of fire

[LDSAffairs]

Hell is imaginary, childish and foolish.

Mormons do NOT use poligamy.

Get your facts right.

[LDSAffairs]

1) Spell polygamy correctly

2) Read D&C 132

3) If a man's wife dies - he can get sealed i.e. MARRIED to another woman - he has two wives in the eternities - HENCE CELESTIAL POLYGAMY

@cudleeman Where would I find that in the Bible? SInce I'm an idiot, I can't seem to find any indication of such.

[cudleeman]

@moparmonster1965 "Additonally, there's no evidence that the Melchizadek prietshood has more than one member, and that's Jesus Christ. No, it was meant for Him alone and not mere mortal man."

It's named after a "mere mortal man" because he held it.

You're an idiot.

[moparmonster1965]

@cudleeman I also need to add here that there's no need for the priesthood since Jesus fulfilled the law. Not only that, even if He hadn't, the only rightful holders of the Aaronic priesthood were the descendants of Aaron, and my guess is that you don't have too many men with the last name Cohen in your congregation.

Additonally, there's no evidence that the Melchizadek prietshood has more than one member, and that's Jesus Christ. No, it was meant for Him alone and not mere mortal man.

@cudleeman Biased? You bet they were, seeing Joseph Smith practicing polygamy when he publicly lied that the church was not, and claiming to a prophet of God while doing so.

The people who lost their money with the illegal Kirtland bank scam were also probably fairly biased against Joseph Smith.

[moparmonster1965]

@cudleeman Biblical standards like believing in one God, like accepting the free gift of salvation that cannot be otherwise earned as in Mormonism, like being able to discern one thing from another, a false gospel from the Biblical one.

[moparmonster1965]

@cudleeman Other than following a false gospel, yes, Mormons and Christians are similar.

[moparmonster1965]

@cudleeman So following a false gospel started by a liar, con-man, false prophet, and killer is still somehow good?

[moparmonster1965]

@cudleeman This is blatantly untrue; the church was practicing polygamy for years illegally. The legislation passed was the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act of 1862, the Edmunds Act of 1882, and then the Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887, and the church ignored all of them, didn't they? The latter was the one with the teeth allowing the Federal Government to seize church property and imprison polygamous Mormons.

[moparmonster1965]

The only reason the church gave up the practice is because the Government was ready to seize the temples so Wilford Woodruff, being a practical man, did the only thing he could, and tell the church that the Mormon god ordered his 'new and everlasting covenant' to now be null and void.

[moparmonster1965]

Even so, the church leadership continued to practice polygamy, didn't they? They did, and that was the reason for the Second Manifesto of 1904. And even still, the church leadership practiced polygamy, didn't they? The very prophet of the church, Joseph F. Smith, was charged and admitted that he was a polygamist, breaking the 'law of the land.' Smith fathered 11 of his children after the first manifesto of 1890, so it's clear that he had no real intentions of following this rule to begin with.
