So every single minister who says "The Mormons deserve to suffer whatever calamity we inflict upon them, up to and including death, for daring to declare war on us!" is not, in fact, a Christian?

Because there have been people even here on CF demanding our deaths if we don't convert.
Gonna need some references for these claims or I'm calling baloney sandwich. Especially the CF claim.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. Every church has a history of wrong doers.I am not trying to justify anyone who has done wrong or broken the commandments. We all need to keep the commandments. By the way Brigham Young tried to stop the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Brigham Young wrote a letter to Isaac C. Haight, 10 Sept 1857 telling Mormons in southern Utah to leave the immigrants alone. Unfortunately the letter arrived too late.
He tried to claim that after the fact. But he knew about it before it happened.

Really So there are no Heavenly Parents?



So your Heavenly Mother is really a daughter of Heavenly Father?
I think you are getting very confused here. Eve is a daughter of God the Father and His wife, and Adam is a son. Can I assume that your father had a wife?

I misunderstood your post re Heavenly Father's daughter.

Here's the question> Is Heavenly Mother God and possessing a body?
I believe God's wife has a spiritual body. She may be called a Goddess, i don't know.

D&C 130:22 says...

22 The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.

So Heavenly Father and Jesus have flesh and bones and Heavenly Mom and the Holy Spirit do not but are personages of Spirit. And the Heavenly Parents are unlike one another?

Right?

No a resurrected body is called a spiritual body:
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:42 - 50)

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, however flesh and bones can.

It may be false to you, that does not mean it is false. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith could not have made it up in just 65 days while was in his early 20s.

I studied, pondered for more than a decade, and I sincerely prayed about Mormonism, and God showed me that it is wrong.

Verse 4 says



If that is true I will agree with at least this section of the Hymn

Eve is not Heavenly Father's wife.
