Dave,
Between Kevin's response, and the response I made to David some time ago (which you quoted in your response), my position should be clear and I don't think there is any more that I can add. If you were to accept my and Kevin's position, that 'ALL' really means 'ALL', then it would mean you would have to deny that the BoM and D&C are revealed works, and admit they they are inconsequential and unimportant texts and, since mormonism stands or falls on these inconsequential texts, you are not about to give up those saced cows.
Do you realize that by believing that there needs to be further revelation beyond the 66 books we have today, you are absolutely denying God's ability to get His word to His people, and denying that the work of Christ on the cross, which is explained fully in the Bible, and understood for centuries by milions, probably billions, of Christians. Are you and all of your mormon brothers and sisters really that arrogant?
DavidM, do not get worked up over the fact that I said 'no further revelation'. I think you know what I mean by that.
Dave, I am starting on a new tack for my Mormon research. I have always suspected that JS was under the influence of Satan, not being the sharpest pencil in the pack, and that there are signs of Satan (the real one) all through the mormon system...symbols, relationships, rites, all of it. My new approach is to begin to identify and isolate all of those items that are related directly to Satan to see if I can produce a profile of Satan's works strictly from mormon sources.
For example, it makes sense that, since Satan has been severly punished for his transgression of pride, and failed to defeat Jesus and, in fact, was defeated BY Jesus at the cross, it makes sense that in the satanically inspired mormon system he would make himself the BROTHER of Jesus. Yes, fellow real Christians, the mormons consider Satan to be the brother of Jesus. Not a fallen archangel...the actual brother of Jesus. Unbiblical. Pure JS hype inspired by Satan himself. If you cannot make yourself HIGHER than God, why not make yourself EQUAL to the Son of God? By the way, the mormons also make themselves EQUAL to the Son of God. Brothers of Satan. Eventually to become gods themselves. Satan tried the same lie on Adam and Eve. It took him thousands of yeasrs to perfect that lie, and we see it's fruit in the mormon church.
Additionally, consider that in the Mormon temple ceremony (at least from it's inception until it was purportedly removed), a play showed Satan paying a Christian minister to preach Satan's gospel. What a perfect ploy that Satan himself used to poison the attitude of unsuspecting mormons into believing that the REAL church is SATANIC. Reverse psychology at it's best.
Consider also that the symbols used on mormon temples are all associated with the occult. AND, they never use the cross. The patented mormon reason is that it is a symbol of torture. In part they are right because IT IS A SYMBOL OF TORTURE TO SATAN BECAUSE IT WAS BY THE CROSS THAT HE WAS DEFEATED!!!
Finally, Satan does not have to develop evil within people to win their souls...in fact, he has developed a culture of some of the nicest warm-fuzzy people on the planet...but all he has to do is to keep them from knowing the real Christ, and he has done this by setting up a counterfeit christ and false god to distract them. Lost souls a la carte. My original question that began my quest to understand mormonism, "How can such nice and wonderful people be so lost?" has been answered.
My quest continues. If any of you real Christians on TT see any other evidence that Satan is the mind and power behind JS and mormonism, please let me know so I can research it and add it to my growing list of evidence of Satan's grimy signature on the good, but deceived, people of the mormon lie.

PS. There is still time. Once you die, there will be no way to change your mind. (Hebrews 9:27) And "once" means "once". A million mormons can be baptised vicariously for you, but the only thing that will change is that there will be a million more wet mormons. You will then know the truth. But it will be too late to set you free.

I suspect that it will take much prayer on our part before Dave is able to see this. I would ask that we all put him on our list. Terry
