The Truth About Bruce R. McConkie's "Mormon Doctrine"

[_bcspace]

However, the teachings of past Prophets are thrown under the bus with alarming regularity.

No they're not. It's long been known (since 1835's D&C 107) that it requires the agreement of both the first presidency and the quorum of the twelve.

Dear Fool (i.e. bcspace)....

The Church taught for 40 years that Adam is God the Father, the Father of our spirits and the father of Jesus' spirit and body. How, the Church excommunicates anyone who teaches Adam-God and does not "repent" and stop. Contradiction.

The Church taught for 150 years that Negroes were the cursed, inferior, ugly children of Cain, who bore the Mark of Cain, but NOW the Church says "We never taught that!" Contradiction.

Brigham Young taught his published sermons, published in Jounral of Discourses, were "Scripture". The "JD" was called "one of the Standard Works". Today, the Church claims "It was just personal opinon". CONTRADICTION.

God is NOT the Author of lies, deception, and Contradiction, and the LDS Church is FULL of all three!

Open your eyes!!!!

You don't "know" anything! I'll told you PURE TRUTH.

I WAS told by a 77 year old man that he delivered milk to the three living wives of Joseph Fielding Smith, the plural wives, not his "official" wife. Was the old man lying? I don't know. He seemed to be sincere. But he DID tell me that, in 1993, outside the meetinghouse of the Apostolic United Brethren in Bluffdale Utah.

Avoision. Here is my post again:

As a good Mormon I was expected to believe that "everything" that a Living Prophet says or writes is Eternal Gospel Truth and the very Oracles of God, Living Scriptures....until he is a Dead Prophet, then his words and writings were "his own opinion" only.

I think you're lying. Edit: I don't think it. I know it.

I have told you PURE TRUTH....and you have called the Truth a Lie, and a Lie the Truth! You are a FOOL!!!!

Matthew 5:22

bcspace,

I know you are trying to hold on to JOseph Smith and your testimony of him and the Book of Mormon. To do that, you must "kill the Messenger". In other words, you must attack the Messenger, thereby disregarding his message.

But, I have told you PURE TRUTH!

You have FALSELY claimed that i have lied, but I have not. You are bearing false witness against me, which is against the gospel. Simply because you don't want to accept the FACTS I have shared with you. You attack ME, instead of looking into the facts.

Matthew 5:22 has to do with homosexuality: He who says Racha (I spit upon you) will be in danger of the Council (Church discipline). "Racha" was a term that men used against homosexuals. But he who says "Thou fool" shall be in danger of hell-fire. The homosexuals would return with "Thou fool". Jesus was saying: "Spit upon a homosexual and you'll be in danger of Church discipline, but if you are homosexual you'll be in danger of Hell-fire". In other words, don't disrespect gays, God will deal with them not you".

You haven't presented any facts. Just some claim for which I know you are lying because I've grown up in the same Church you are attacking. You said:

Liar! Heathen!

Time to put up or shut up.
