They don't really believe this

[_Joseph]

9.We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

What has God 'revealed' lately? One earring? California gays shouldn't be allowed to marry but Massachussets gays can? (because Mitt signed the law?)

10.We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

Does LDSinc really believe Jesus will come to earth in Missouri? Are the members still planning on the trek back there? Are the Ten Tribes still in hiding above Moose Jaw, Canada somewhere?

11.We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

This one is a joke with LDSinc pushing themselves on others and their nasty persecution of Fundamentalist Mormons and polygamists.


12.We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

Except when it is uncomfortable. Mormons talk about it but ignore and break laws when they feel like it.

Maybe it is time for the articles of public profession to be changed to reflect Mormon Reality?

I am not ashamed to say that, yes, I believe all of those things. And likely many more things you would consider foolish. I say to you that which Paul spoke concerning scoffers of old:

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

I stopped reading when I got to this point. Please tell me that you don't really believe this.

Frank, rule number one on this board is we do not reply to the poster known as "Joseph." Because it encourages more asinine posts from him.

You can run, but you can't hide, cowardly little man. DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE?
