@farmingandJesus Such a silly argument Lizzie. All of joseph smith work points to a living Christ who continues to revealed through living oracles.
And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of sins
@XanacrustX@Thatbrian Calvinistic doctrine of God's absolute sovereignty taught that the social hierarchy of slavery and subregation of
Black Afrikaans was predestined by God
@Theologicalish1@StandAndKnox The hypocrisy of that statement is outstanding. You think the mob killed joseph smith because he allegedly trashed a newspaper? And the punishment is death? HE WAS MURDERED FOR THIS FAITH-that is martyrdom plain and simple
@jonathanplumb Read the definition of a lyncing “Lynching is the extrajudicial execution of an individual by a mob without a fair trial or legal authority”
When you have over 100 men w guns and painted faces show up at jail for the intent to execute joseph - this was a lyching plain and simple
@PastorBowman Really - how about your own scholars
Mark S. Smith:
The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel
John Day:
Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan
Patrick D. Miller
The Religion of Ancient Israel: the existence of multiple divine beings
@farmingandJesus Lizzie - These are the fruits of Protestant rhetoric against Mormonism - every time y’all call Mormons demonic, or categorically not Christian - you cause this type of behavior from your adherents
@tom_barmadillo It always surprises me that Protestants try to claim this passage as their own - if Christ established “a church” then catholic or orthodox only can lay claim to church succession. Luther didn’t “reform” the chuch - he just made it so any one can start their own “church”
@ts_wilbury@tom_barmadillo I’f your catholic and you hold to this “developed theology” because you align with holy tradition- fine. But if you’re sola scriptura Protestant- this should be a huge issue becuase Trinity nor the concept of consubstantiality is not found in the Bible
