LDS Mormons Call Them Saving Ordinances

My intention was to post a question to be replied to by someone who is knowledgeable about it. Unfortunately we find on the forums that only two or three people ever interact on a posting.

CF... suffice it to say that the CF rules/environment here very actively discourage LDS or similar posters from being here. Hence the small numbers-- there used to be many more before certain administrative things happened and vast majority left because of it.

The rules don't prevent honest, informative conversation. What rules were broken by those who left?

 

[dzheremi]

I don't think it's appropriate or within forum rules to openly discuss past moderator/administrative actions. Let's get back to the topic of LDS saving ordinances, please. I don't want to see anyone get in trouble.

I had a glitch that locked me out of posting for a few days, so I'm only just now getting caught up.

The LDS that have left have not been because they broke the rules, but rather choosing to leave because of certain aspects of CF.

Then they exercised their right to leave. I've left other religion sites.

I have been reading some statistics that seems to indicate that perhaps the 2012 election may have been stolen from Mr. Mitt Romney. Mark Taylor was the first that I heard mention this but by doing a search I found quite a bit about this possibility.

I consider this to be relevant....... because the possibility of Mr. Romney having been elected in the sight of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus gives L.D.S. to pray...... for restoration of those four years from 2012 - 2016......

Politics has nothing to do with required ordinances.

I guess it's probably interesting that the LDS contributed money to a Hare Krishna temple in Utah. Why would they do that? https://www.deseretnews.com/article/700777/LDS-foundation-donates-25000-to-Krishna-temple.html
Also, in this FAQ they draw comparisons between Mormonism and the "good" side of Hinduism.

Because LDS are friendly to other faiths, especially minorities that frequently get the short end of the stick.

I have watched several films about Joseph Smith and find it unusual the Mormons were always testifying that Christ is the savior etc. But every Christian believes that!

Of course: the center point of an LDS person's life is Christ. We love Him, follow Him, devote ourselves to Him, and testify of Him. It's the very foundation of an LDS person.

Now of course an LDS person isn't an Catholic or a Methodist or Orthodox, just like none of them are each other. But the all of those people do indeed love Christ.

Matthew 24
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before.

Joseph Smith taught a so-called gospel contrary to the Bible.

Galatians 1
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Jude 1
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

I just came across this interesting website that suggests that Ellen White was very familiar with the LDS teachings and incorporated them into her own writing.

[Duvduv]

After watching a couple of videos about Charles Russell and Joseph Rutherford I see thst they too were influenced by Masonry like Joseph Smith and Ellen White, but that the effects were much worse and far-reaching. And yet millions of people still believe in this bizarre history without question. So much gullibility....very depressing....

We know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is NOT contrary to the Bible.

Then you either don't know or don't believe the Bible.

Yes I do know the Bible and I know the gospel of Jesus Christ. His gospel is the good news. The good news is that we can repent and return to God the Father because of Christ's proxy atonement for our sins. God is love.

After all you can do. Not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
