When will the Mormons establish their religion by the sword?

Post by _Polygamy-Porter »

Joseph Smith Jr wrote:If the people will let us alone we will preach the gospel in peace.

But if they come on to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword.

We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.

I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was 'the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword.' So shall it eventually be with us


According to most Mormons(especially those plagued with persecution complex), Mormons have been molested much, so then when are they going to do as their great prophet stated and declare Mormon jihad on the US?

My branch president read a letter from the first presidency about this last Sunday. It informed us that sharp, sturdy cutlery and machetes would suffice for the marvelous about to unfold.

It's highly doubtful Joseph Smith ever said this.

Was he planning on using a steel sword or an obsidian sword?

It is a very well known fact that once you apostatize, everything you say is a lie. That would hold true for Oliver C., Martin Harris, and David Whitmer.

...everything.

Mormons lie for the Lord. Apostates lie for the Devil. Either way, somebody is lying.
I'm the apostate your bishop warned you about.

Figures. The oldest brothers in a family always pit the younger kids against each other.

I am going to lie down and take nap.

According to the Book of Mormon, obsidian swords can rust, which is a miracle in and of itself.

that's because of the special rain that fell during that time.
