The Jesus of the Book of Mormon destroyed many.

[Guest Rpaul]

Hi to all fellow board readers,

It is interesting to note that the Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus destroyed many sinners

when he died on the cross! you can read it for yourselves in 3 Nephi chapter 9 in the Book of

Mormon. In chapter 8 the destruction starts with much lightning and the darkness prevails into Chater 9,

by then a loud voice claimed the destruction of many cities, suppose to be Jesus (about 15 cities are destroyed

by this Jesus) If one was to study the cronology of this horrible event, it is suppose to take place at the time of Christ

death on the cross. The darkness is thick, so thick that no light can penitrate, and the Lord had not yet

been raised from the dead in the resurrected form, so this voice is just a Ghost of Christ or phantom

creating the destruction on these sinners.

The bible is clear about Christ's love for sinners, and this is the main reason why he died on the cross, (1 Tim 1:15)

In that while we were sinners Christ died for us. The blood of christ is the means by which God saves the sinner,

for His son was given as a sacrifice to save the ungodly from his sins.

Therefore the cross is an act of mercy and forgiveness and not for the destructions of so many sinners in the Americas,

as the Book of Mormon suggests.

God's Word is all we have and all we need. Not some book that reads grammatically like a ninth grade student wrote it. You've got the gospel alright, (and that's about all!) but thanks be to the actual truth that was taken from the actual Word of God and placed in such a missive as you espouse. It is a sin to add to the Book or take away.

My suggestion is to read the Word of God and get the story straight from Him!

The book of mormon is a false text. Mormon religion preaches a different gospel. The bible urges us to beware of false gospels.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

Mormon religion began with an angel of light, a false angel, who preached a different gospel.

God's Word is my food.

Wouldn't even waste my time with the book of nephi.

Amen! It's like eating (soy--no meat!) wieners when you could have filet mignon!

if scripture is all you have and all you need, then what in the world did 97% of the world do for about the first 14 centuries when they couldn't read?

They had the church there to teach them.

What did the world do when there was not a book called the Bible until 382ad?

they had the church, the one church there to teach them and to give them the eucharist which Christ commanded we eat and drink in order to have eternal life.

The church was long before the book.

and the church remains with the book, with the Sacred Tradition that accompanies Sacred Scripture and is equal to.

Hold fast to the traditions which we have handed down to you both by word of mouth and written epistle. 2 thess 2:15

the church is Catholic.

The mormon church believes in a plurality of gods and all are going to hell within it.

all.

Anyone believing in a plurality of gods is not entering heaven.

Only those that believe in one almighty God and do His will to the best of their ability can go to heaven.

What do you mean here? The Church is us--believers! Period.

[Floatingaxe]

that is part of it, but then why does 1 tim 3:15 seperate the two in the same paragraph?

15but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

they are speaking to christians at the time, and if WE are THE church, then HOW can THE CHURCH(we) conduct ourselves IN CHURCH?

do we leave our bodies and then go into them again? lol

and what about Matthew 18?

16"But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

17"If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the CHURCH; and if he refuses to listen even to the CHURCH, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

18"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

so we see the disciples(the church?) and if he doesn't listen to them(the church?) then they should gather more(of the church?, according to you) then they should

.............take it where? to the CHURCH

how can this be if we are the church?

and how can this other church actually anathematize(excommunicate, as a heathen and a publican)?

who has this power? who had the power to pronounce the sin of others in scripture? it was the church leaders, the apostlesa, the first bishops.

peter pronounced the sin and the judgement, and God killed them.

you are not the magesterium of the church, you are a believer, and a part of the general priesthood of believers, not the ordained.

the bishops ordain as we see In scripture.

i look forward to your bit by bit response to these verses.

they totally contradict your false thinking, and ALL of Church history in the world for the first 1521 uyears of Chrisytianity prove my point.

You are quite wrong, and seem very indoctrinated by your "church". We are the Body of Christ, the Church. You are just missing the full meaning of these verses you have quoted. They are spiritually discerned. Ask God to reveal to you the message therein. I will pray for you.

[Candi770]

If you don't know what the word of God says in the Bible, then you can be deceived by any form of doctrine. But, the word of God must be spiritually discerned and you must be spiritually regenerated to receive from God what is written in the text of the bible.

You must be saved by Christ (not by belief in a religion, etc) and you must renew your mind with the word of God, especially with the coming of the antichrist drawing nigh-will you be deceived???If you hold to Joseph Smith's teachings you will be. Have a relationship with the one they are speaking against and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

The bible was cannonized in the 3rd century and was also in use by the majority of Christians in the 1st century...we also know they had the Torah from the very beginning.

Get your facts straight, this is the second time you've done this.
