Boldly defend God’s creation and the unique roles and gifts God has given men and women.
Boldly rebuke the Den of Vipers and their wicked ways.
Boldly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
1) No one is sacrificing children.
2) ONE man and ONE woman? No, not how it is in the Bible. Also not how it was in Joseph Smith's day, and not how it will be in the hereafter according to LDS theology. Genesis 4:18-19 "And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah."
3) 1 Timothy 2:12 - "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." Judges 5:30 "Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two" Hosea 13:16: "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." This quote also works for point number 1.
4) Totally subjective. I've met psych patients that thought they were fleeing from Gadiaton Robbers one minute and the next they claimed they were the leader of said robbers. I doubt I'd get that experience outside Utah or Idaho.
5) Jesus has very little to say in the Bible. Most of it is others speaking for him. I've read the Bible (KJV) more times than I can count. It has been a while, though. Two things really stuck with me over the years. The first is John 13:35 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
The other is a little more long winded. I didn't write it, so I'm not apologizing. It is Matt 25:32-45
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."
What does your diarrhea of posts have to do with number 5, the epitome of what Jesus taught?
You ever actually read the Bible?
