@TheSoggyOreo @DOWResponse And Apostles Creed

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@ShaughnCasey @DOWResponse If I were still in, I'd just go with reformed so I'm not stuck with a bapticostal. Presbyterians are split, too. I am sure the PCAs would also just go with identification of reformed. Our only difference is with baptism. Confessional Baptists and PCAs can still have fellowship.

@FideCounsel @DOWResponse So do Baptists, lol.

Social media is filled with the righteous indignation of the Mormons---who claim to be the only true Church, all other churches are corrupt, their creeds an abomination, their ministers the hirelings of Satan---that they, the Mormons, are not really Christians. It's just a tad ironic, but it does play on the ignorance of most LDS, and non-LDS, about LDS history and teachings.

Their current modus operandi is to use the phrase "creedal Christians" and try to make the issue post-biblical. Here's the problem. The fundamental distinction between Christianity and Mormonism goes back to about 1400 BC, not 400 AD. Here is the foundational contrast:

Before the mountains were born,
Or Your brought forth the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting,
You are God. (Psalm 90:2)

...for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.

Joseph Smith, 1844

Now, two quick things: 1) Psalm 90 is a song of Moses, hence the early date. 2) The King Follett Funeral Discourse is not LDS Scripture. But it is the most often cited sermon of Joseph Smith by the leaders of the LDS Church itself, and is one of two foundational sermons preached within the last months of his life.

Hence, the issue is stark and clear. Monotheism vs. polytheism, one transcendent Creator God vs. an exalted man from another planet. Just a reminder from Brigham Young as to how Smith's words were interpreted by those who heard him initially:

“Mankind are here because they are the offspring of parents who were first brought here from another earth, and were enabled to propagate their species, and they were commanded to multiply and replenish the earth. How many Gods there are, I do not know. But there never was a time when there were not Gods and worlds, and when men were not passing through the same ordeals that we are now passing through. That course has been from all eternity, and it is and will be to all eternity.”

Brigham Young, JD 7:333, August 28, 1859.

@WWUTTcom What is the point of everyone else being saved through Christ, and even Christ coming and dying for the sins of His people if election and salvation was really only meant and intended for the sons of Abraham of the flesh only? It's entirely umbilical.

[WWUTT? @WWUTTcom]

Ignoring the individuals named in Romans 9, and that nations are made up of individuals, sure.

@MasonWe74614769 You're a stinky fart face. Don't be coming around my block yo. No cap.

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@WWUTTcom We are going through Luke and it was on ch. 7 on the widow and her son, whom Jesus had raised back from the dead because he was her only son and she would have become destitute.

[WWUTT? @WWUTTcom]

On this day in church history...

Women still cannot be pastors.

[WWUTT? @WWUTTcom]

I'm always amused at how God's providence shows up in the news. The "evangelical leaders" who celebrated this look foolish.

"When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what is before you... Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food" (Prov. 23:1-3).

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@WWUTTcom Amen 🙌 That's all we need to rest on as God's word ❤️

Thanks for posting this.

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

Do you ever feel like a deaf person trying to communicate with a hearing person that you don't understand them so they just speak louder?

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@JustinPetersMin It becomes more and more apparent with each new pope.

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@Tyler_King40 @WWUTTcom A cult

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@WWUTTcom I guess people haven't heard of the Council of Trent and the fact that it has yet to be retracted. They're awfully quick to want to have fellowship with Muslims, though.

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@tomascol I was just listening to his sermon Founders recently posted. It is definitely worth listening to. He's a good man for Oklahoma!

[Justin Peters @JustinPetersMin]

Of course they did.

[Biblical and Reformed @reformedhg]

Those who defend Islam (without practicing it) have no clue what it actually teaches, and those same people hate Christianity and in the same way don’t understand what it teaches either. Clueless and ignorant, but somehow convinced they know better than everyone else.

[Randi West @Bulldurham86RW]

@reformedhg Oh my gosh! Praying for the Nichols family. My heart breaks for them, especially their daughter.
