Jesus is Lord.
Everything you say and do, do for the glory of God.

@magnoliastate18 @LDSLaw I agree but I base what I determine what is weird with religious practices on whether we see evidence of it in the Bible.

[Scott @Chastatch]

@magnoliastate18 @LDSLaw Now I don't mean this bad but don't mormons wear special underwear and do masonic rituals

The Great falling away hasn't happened yet.

II Thessalonians 2:1-4 NKJV
[1] Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, [2] not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. [3] Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, [4] who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

I'm not Catholic but what is wrong with communion? Jesus said to do this in remberance of me.

Luke 22:17-19 NKJV
[17] Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; [18] for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” [19] And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

@GuyInco15542744 A lie of Joseph Smith no restoration was needed.

[Scott @Chastatch]

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV
[18] And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

John 14:15-18 NKJV
[15] “If you love Me, keep My commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. [18] I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Matthew 3:16-17 NKJV
[16] When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. [17] And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

What is untrue about any of this?

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.

[Scott @Chastatch]

A different spirit that testifies of Jesus? So me saying before I was saved the Holy Spirit convicted me of the life I was living was wrong. That somehow is odd? I still don't quite understand how you come to these conclusions that you come to.

John 16:7-8 NKJV
[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. [8] And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Hebrews 4:11-13 NKJV
[11] Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. [12] For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [13] And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

[Scott @Chastatch]

It was conviction brought on by the Holy Spirit that I was nothing but a filthy sinner that can't save myself. The Holy Spirit laid me bare and convicted me that I was on the path to damnation. I was at a very bad point in my life when I got saved. Thanks to God and my Wife and her prayers I come to understand what the Gospel of Jesus truly meant.

I truly also wish this also for you and all mormons that their eyes and hearts would be opened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just looking at the life of Joseph Smith should be enough for you to see how much of a fraud he is. It truly baffles me why anyone would believe anything he had say about anything.

I can't change anyone but I can hope and pray that a seed has been planted. I'll put my faith that God will nurture and grow that seed over time.

[Scott @Chastatch]

@BasedMikeLee Mormons believe in a false made up Jesus of Joseph Smith's making. The Jesus of the Bible and the Joseph Smith Jesus are not the same.

[Scott @Chastatch]

@CTRyoda @GuyInco15542744 As I said you are definitely not reading what I wrote by your response.

[Scott @Chastatch]

I said I base it on the evidence and that evidence is the word of God not feelings. The Holy Spirit inspired all the writers of the Bible. We are told in the Bible to look out for false prophets who bring in False doctrines. Joseph Smith is a false prophet.

What are you talking about calling the Godhead feelings. Reread my previous comment you have definitely misunderstood it.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not accepting Jesus. It's willfully denying Jesus. The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus.

It's an ongoing, willful hardening of the heart and persistent rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony about Christ, which ultimately blocks a person from seeking repentance and forgiveness.

[Scott @Chastatch]

Acts 7:59: During his martyrdom, Stephen prayed directly to Jesus, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

2 Corinthians 12:8–9: The Apostle Paul pleaded directly with Jesus to remove a "thorn in the flesh," and Jesus answered him.

Revelation 22:20: The Apostle John concludes the Bible with a direct prayer to Jesus: "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"

John 14:12-14 NKJV
[12] “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. [13] And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus here says that he would answer prayer when we asked him anything in his name. So Jesus authorizes us to address him in prayer when we come in his name in his own authority, and in his will. And he promised that he would answer.

[Scott @Chastatch]

God is my Creator but no where is there biblical evidence the Father had a heavenly wife to make the spirits or whatever.

The Holy Spirit tells me the book of mormon is a false doctrine and portrays an antichrist. I have tested the evidence of the book of mormon against the word of God and the book of mormon falls flat.

I don't base this on feelings I base it on the evidence. The evidence is Joseph Smith was a lying womanizing con artist that made up a tall tale. He didn't die a martyr he died a criminal due to his immoral acts and his immoral behavior. Jesus didn't take up weapons against his accusers, but Joseph Smith had a gun smuggled in for him that he used against others while trying to escape.

Joseph Smith's fruits are rotten to the core.

[Scott @Chastatch]

That doesn't answer my question please reread. Those verses don't have anything to do with what I asked.

Only born again believers are children of God. If you are not a child of God then you are a child of the devil.

The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus not a made up version of Joseph Smith's.

John 1:12-13 NKJV
[12] But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: [13] who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 8:42-45 NKJV
[42] Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. [43] Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. [44] You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. [45] But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

[Scott @Chastatch]

@abi4560 Jesus is the foundation.

[Scott @Chastatch]

Your another testament is based on lies. The New Testament is based on Jesus. The Old Testament also spoke about the same Jesus the Messiah.

The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is a cohesive story about Jesus. It points to his life, his teachings, and his ultimate mission of salvation.

You believe Jesus began as a spirit child of Heavenly parents, advanced to Godhood before the world's creation, and achieved supreme divine status through a process called eternal progression?

[Scott @Chastatch]

@GuyInco15542744 after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, [14] who is the guarantee of our inheritance
