    mormonism

    But first a prophet has to solidly prove that those "popular teachings of his day" were wrong. To merely claim that the Church was in Apostasy and "many plain and precious truths were lost" in that Apostasy and he [Joseph Smith] was sent by God to clear it all up really has no solid basis for...

    mormonism

    Your "revelation and authority" powers within the priesthood are still very limited--they have to agree with the Prophets. Hers is a few examples as to why that is so: . Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes, whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the...

    mormonism

    With all due respect the statement you made [which I put in bold letters} is really a ridiculous one. For any of us to introduce new Doctrines and then claim ourselves to be a Prophet and then further claim that because of the fact that as it is all new and different it is then somehow evidence...

    mormonism

    As someone who was formally a 5th generation Mormon Believer who can trace his roots back to Lot Smith, who led the Utah Rebellion back in the 1850's, I was brought up solidly LDS. Had both priesthoods, and had a strong testimony, or at least I thought I did for about 40 years or so. Through...

    mormonism

    So by your own admissions, you belong to a Church which was set up by a prophet who is only human and "who can and did make mistakes" who also issued a lot of Doctrinal beliefs that are basically foreign to main- line Christianity. How do you know what was merely a human mistake in the many...

    mormonism

    "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book," (History of the Church, vol. 4, p. 461) This one is a gem: "God himself was once...

    Are We Supposed to Resist/Fight Evil or Is God Taking Care of It Now?

    Maybe I can give you something in this response. You seem to be looking for an offensive weapon, while being saddened by the passiveness as to fighting evil in fellow Believers, at least in your own Church. Certainly as some suggest, that the only offensive weapon we have in our Armor of God...

    Are We Supposed to Resist/Fight Evil or Is God Taking Care of It Now?

    One aspect that tends to be problematic is the fact that as we live in a Democratic society where our votes count and we then supposedly have a "voice", we tend to think that we can take on politically what we view as evil by our votes and certainly the "ears" of our Senators and Congressmen...

    mormonism

    As a former Mormon [who I believe God brought me out of that Religion 17 years ago], I think there is always the problem in that Church of justifying much that Joseph Smith proclaimed when the Church was first established. "Many plain and precious truths" which were supposedly lost he supposedly...

    [__ Prayer __] Prayer request and praise of God

    Re: Prayer request and praise of God It really sounds like God is leading you here and all you can do is follow. He's obviously prepared you for a new youth ministry as well, as it sounds. For me the LAST thing I ever thought I would be doing maybe 10 years ago was teaching a Sunday...

    Preferred Bible that you use?

    I also mainly use the NKJV, but refer to the NLT in the Life Application Bible version for the children's Sunday Class that I teach and also for a number of people I write to [mainly prisoners] who I write out Bible Lessons. I think for me in the choice for the NKJV for personal study is...

    Hi from a newbie

    Not sure how I should start this other than to somewhat introduce myself. As my screen name suggests, I believe Godly Wisdom to be one of the main goals in my growing Faith. God brought me out of a Religion that is considered a cult about 17 years ago, mainly through the death of my son who was...
