vintageyellow71, until you stop rejecting Isaiah 43:10, you are an idolater. Revelation 21:8 says, "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

I say that because I could understand your anger if you had a catholic priest hurt you. But what did a Mormon ever do to you to cause you to have so much venom. Think about it chief.

[aaronshaf2006]

vintageyellow, if Mormonism was a cult leading people to hell, what would you do about it? Just sit back and not care? That's not very loving. Neither would it show a concern for truth.

Where you all go wrong is that you feel you need to thrash anothers religion to make that point. what sort of a way to spread your point is that? Isn't is a 100% judgment to say mormons are going to hell? What vission or revelaation did you have that taught you that? I believe in Christ and so do you, that being said we are saved anyway right? Yes

[aaronshaf2006]

Anyone who isn't willing to wholly condemn the idea that God the Father could have once possibly been a sinner is going to hell. Anyone who rejects the immediate and complete forgiveness of sins, offered to be received by faith alone, is going to hell. See Isaiah 43:10, Psalm 90:2, and Romans 4:4-8.

Wow, associating criticism of Mormonism with terrorism? Mormons don't seem too far off from someday supporting legislation to ban criticism of Mormonism as violence-associated "hate speech". Let's enjoy our constitutional rights while we can...

Your eternity is not a joke. The Word of God is not a joke. One day you will account for seeing and hearing truth and choosing to reject it. Look into the doctrines of the Mormon church, you are trusting your eternity to something you cannot known, unless you study it out. Please do this before it is too late; feelings can and do mislead people.

10:29 - absolutely true.  LDS indoctrination (brainwashing) is horrendous.

@drinkswithnedkelly Antimormons like only to mention the youngers because they want to give their comment a lustful connotation. Who is lying?

In honor to the truth.You should mention the women almost twice his age he married to.

And that he never had another offsprings but with Emma. Strange isn´t it?



[drinkswithnedkelly]

@marcopolo8765 The LDS church has no choice but to water down and lie about it's history. Few people that read the real history can stay in the church. For example Holy Joe and his 33 wives, many teenagers and some married to other men,. Or how Holy Joe used the occult method of scrying to write the BoMormon (it wasnt translated, it was scryed) or the completely made up Book of Abraham.

Please do not introduce logic into a discussion with a Mormon. It confuses them.

minute 4:30, Pentagram on the walls behind speaker. Jail is Freemason. Everyone inside the jail and everyone outside the jail was a Freemason. The jail had no real lock. People came and went. It was a set up.

[marcopolo8765]

We often tone down our re- enactments to make them less offensive toward other religons. Isn't there enough offense yet from other religions against us already. We can't control what you guys do but we can control our own actions. In hope that you stop the contention. It is sad, extremely sad what we have given up in order to keep the peace. But we can't please everyone. Someone will always find fault no matter what we do.

If you are honestly looking to be able to relate to non-LDS people or ex-LDS, check out the mormonstories channel or website, especially the video Why People Leave The Church. It's done by a believing active member and talks about some of the issues people have with the church, and they are valid.

[DoubtingThomasPoMo]

I don't need to pray to know that spreading false information is unethical. I vouch for the facts, not the person saying them. Nothing he said was inaccurate and if you are going to call someone a liar the burden of proof is on you to show where he is lying. If you want to be able to serve Christ, act like him. First, stop with the name calling. Second, educate yourself on the issues. Saying that something is true or false when you don't know the facts is bearing false witness.

[marcopolo8765]

Did Jesus refute any of the claims made against him right before they nailed him to the cross? Exactly. Now I am not Christ and i will never will be anything even close. But I will do my best to try and serve him and my fellow man by not ingageing in contentious behavior and do my best to share with my brother and sisters what I have to offer them. Which just may be my time and an opinion. Im not sure what else I am allowed to do on the internet.
