@Potatosackc@ThoughtfulSaint@emuse1955 And if Joseph was such a criminal, why was he murdered by a mob while awaiting trial instead of being convicted in court?
@Potatosackc@ThoughtfulSaint@emuse1955 The phrase “like a lamb to the slaughter” is a biblical expression describing someone facing death at the hands of enemies. You can disagree with how he applied it, but that’s a very different claim from saying he was making himself into a second Christ.
@Intothekeep@farmingandJesus If believing in Jesus Christ, repenting, serving others, strengthening families, and seeking God puts me in hell, then perhaps your definition of hell and mine are very different.
@Potatosackc@ThoughtfulSaint@emuse1955 You’re attacking a comparison nobody is making. Latter-day Saints don’t believe Joseph Smith was Jesus Christ. The fact that Joseph defended himself against a murderous mob doesn’t change the fact that he was murdered by a mob. Those are two separate issues.
@Potatosackc@ThoughtfulSaint@emuse1955 What was he supposed to do just sit there and do nothing and let the mob just have their way with him? I’m glad he fought back. If that had happened to me, I’m not taking it lying down, I’m fighting back guns blazing and everything!
@Intothekeep@farmingandJesus Those are your beliefs, not ours. We can disagree about theology without ridiculing or mocking each other. I don’t mock your beliefs, and I don’t see any reason why the same courtesy shouldn’t be extended to mine.
@Intothekeep@farmingandJesus You call it garbage, but most of what’s written there is about faith in Christ, repentance, serving others, strengthening families, and being a witness of God. If that’s what passes for ‘garbage,’ I’d be curious which part specifically you find objectionable.
@BlackGunz088@ianmiles just literally told you that I don’t care what his skin color was but go on. Just because some artists took some artistic liberties made him look white doesn’t mean he is actually white and why does it really matter?
@BlackGunz088@ianmiles I feel no hate towards you. I feel nothing but love and I hope you know and feel that I’m not your enemy and Neither is the white man. We are all in this together.
@BlackGunz088@ianmiles I could care less if Jesus was black, white, orange or blue but what I do know is that he is the savior of the world and he invites everybody to come unto to him. And he has commanded us love one another as he has loved us.
@BlackGunz088@ianmiles I get you’re angry but anger doesn’t solve anything. all it does is lead to hurt and despair. There does not need to be any more bloodshed. I just want you to know that there is a loving God and he is mindful of you. I wish you well.
@BlackGunz088@ianmiles Well, maybe if you take the time to hear them out. Instead of judging them, and calling them every word in the book maybe just maybe they have a message that can help heal your community but you’d have to listen first.
@LizzieMarbach You can disagree with my faith all day long, but reducing it to “magic longjohns” doesn’t address whether it’s true or false. It just shows you’re more interested in ridicule than discussion.
@MayorFrey I will not be honoring a wife beating, drug dealing, lying thief! I will honor the people who keep this country safe! And it’s people like you and your governor as to why Americans do not trust politicians!
