Re: [TruthTalk] Cross

[Kevin Deegan]

perhaps you are not worthy or ready for the Full truth?

 

Apostle Packer “There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not.”

 

Apostle Russel M. Nelson: "Indeed, in some instances, the merciful companion to truth is silence. Some truths are best left unsaid."

Part 1 begins with a post from a Mormon disguising himself as a Mormon investigator (a term used by Mormons for one who is thinking of joining Mormonism and is taking the Mormon missionary discussions) and the responses.  The original topic was baptism for the dead,  a Mormon practice in temples.  It is an excellent example of how Mormon apologists will employ deceit.  He is a self appointed Mormon apologist.  His spelling and grammar are left intact

Part 2  begins with a thread about the Mormon tactic of lying to get converts.  Mormon missionaries and Mormons attempting to convert others to Mormonism will leave out essential information.  These are lies by omission.

 

There was a couple in my old ward. The husband was a convert and everyone was trying to get his wife to join. They had been trying for a few years to have children, and many people told mysterious stories about a woman in their old ward who got baptized, and 2 months later got pregnant. It seems everybody had the same story, but it happened in another ward far away - on their mission - or some other place that was impossible to verify.

Finally, I confronted a member about this because the stories were all similar. "What old ward?" I asked her. "You've been in this ward for decades."

Her reply? "I know it will happen if she gets baptized, so it's ok. Besides, I'm sure it's happened before - and I felt inspired to tell her that."

Might as well admit it Blaine - you Mormon boys have  been sprung.  You've got yourselves in a mess over this one.

This is exactly what happened with my little friend in Newfoundland Canada.  Two good looking Mormon Missionaries had her and her friend snowed.  They said they were born again Christians and she was a baby in the faith so at first she didn't know the difference The boys took Roseanne and her friend out bowling and when a (for Christians) well loved hymn came on over the sound system these good looking Mormon boys began to mock it .... This was when the lights came on for my friend and their missionary endeavors were over -  to late for her, she already knew the Truth and darkness had lost it's cover.

The cats out of the bag:

Christians Glory in the cross you dispise it since you are of those that the Bible says are ENEMIES of the Cross whose END is DESTRUCTION!

Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

Ph 3 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

 

You are an example of those that mind earthly things such as your LUSTFUL MIND.

 

What specifically is so WIERD here? Except for ENEMIES that is.

 

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

Refrain

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Refrain

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
