@J_Goldens_Shadow -  Eh ???

@J_Goldens_Shadow - we need to do something ???what do we need to do exactly ?

@J_Goldens_Shadow - said : " To enter we must be baptized "

Would that not count as a "work" ?

.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - So, if someone has faith but does not get baptised, lets say for instance they die before they get the chance, does that mean that they will enter ?

If "Yes" then baptism is not what saves us and is not necessary. 

If "No" then that would deny Ephesians 2:8-9.

.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - What does the Apostle Paul condemning the practice of baptism for the dead, have to do with my last comment ???

.

@J_Goldens_Shadow -  Sigh!!....Mormon false doctrine...Please read this verse :

Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Notice the word "have" we have peace with God and assurance of salvation as soon as we have faith in the true Jesus of the bible...no need for works and 100% forgiveness of sins..now that is good news !!

Please watch this short video :

thanks

@J_Goldens_Shadow - said : " Why must there be baptisms for the dead? Because a baptism must be performed in this life, but if you never had the opportunity, someone needs to do it in your place."

That is false Mormon doctrine...Did you watch the video ?

.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - Said : " I did. And yet I found that it shows exactly what you know about the Bible: little to nothing at all. "

The video was about Mormon false doctrine and I notice you did not refute any of the allegations made against your chosen false religion, that has another Jesus,Gospel and Spirit.

@J_Goldens_Shadow -  Said: " Mormonism" can defend itself. "

How does Mormonism defend the false prophecies of Joseph Smith these days ? Here is an example of one :

". . .I prophesy in the name of the Lord God of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the state of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers that in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left . . . " (History of the Church, vol. 5, p. 394). "

And this nugget of truth from the false prophet himself :

" Joseph Smith said that there are men living on the moon who dress like Quakers and live to be nearly 1000 years old. ...Since he was wrong about the moon, is it safe to trust him regarding the way to Heaven?.... (The Young Woman's Journal, vol. 3, p. 263-264. See reprint in Mormonism -- Shadow or Reality? by Jerald and Sandra Tanner, p. 4.)

.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - Said : " Missouri: Ever hear of a little conflict called the "Civil war"? "

The prophecy by smith was : " unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the state of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers "...." the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left "

The government did not and was not destroyed.

Interesting you bring up the civil war, this reminds me of another false prophecy smith made .." it says, "and the Southern states will call upon other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations." The South did call upon Great Britain for help, but Great Britain did not get involved in the Civil War, nor did Great Britain call on other nations "in order to defend themselves" and war was not "poured out upon all nations" as a result of the Civil War. LDS often claim that the Civil War was the beginning of World Wars I and II. But, there is no more relationship between the Civil War and World Wars I and II than there is between the Spanish-American War and the Vietnam War! " D&C 87

One more for Mormonism to defend itself  "  In 1835 Joseph Smith prophesied that the coming of the Lord was near and that fifty-six years should wind up the scene. In the History of the Church, volume 2, page 182, we read as follows: "President Smith then stated ... it was the will of God that those who went to Zion, with a determination to lay down their lives, if necessary, should be ordained to the ministry, and go forth to prune the vineyard for the last time, or the coming of the Lord, which was nigh—even fifty-six years should wind up the scene."

Since this did not happen and smith (the founder of your religion thought that men lived on the moon dressed like Quakers)...when will you awake from your sleep and accept the very obvious fact, that smith was a false prophet that Jesus told us to watch out for ?

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - There are more false prophecies for you to attempt to sweep under the rug, so to speak, and they can be found HERE.

However I want to take this conversation in a different direction for a while in an attempt to try to get you to admit you are following a lie.

Which account of the first vision are you now currently believing in please ?

--------------------------------------------------------

3)

1820 – 1838 The first vision consisted of angels only.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - The link you posted failed to give an adequate answer why smith first of all said he was visited by angels then later on it was changed to God and Jesus.

@J_Goldens_Shadow - I maintain that those links you posted did not give an adequate and logical response. They merely danced around the subject then changed it in order to confuse the reader and make them think that they had answers.

Nonetheless I was wondering if any of those Mormon websites had an explanation why Mormons teach that Adam is God ?

I look forward to hearing a simple and logical explanation to this one, thanks.
