I have to ask you 'truth578,' what is your purpose in coming here? You sound like you might be a Christian, yet at the same time, your actions to not demonstrate that you truly are one. I am confused as to why you feel you must insult and attack the Mormon community? Don't you know that you are always supposed to test the substance and not someone? When you discuss these people's religion, are you trying to show them where they are wrong to mock them, or are you sincere in that you desire them to have a relationship with Jesus Christ?

I hope you realize there is a big difference in the love Christ demonstrated and the comments you have made in your post. Jesus is disappointed in your actions here, and I pray that you repent of your sin, and learn from your mistakes.

If you, or anyone who claims to be a Christian comes to this site and posts comments that are derogetory towards the Mormon people, insulting them personally, then you are not welcome here.

I do not intend to sound rude or too harsh, but if you claim to be a Christian, you better begin acting like one. You may want to begin by apologizing to the Mormons you may have offended by your comments on this site.

Please, do not attack Joseph Smith's character, or any member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But rather, focus on the theology...that is what we are commanded to test. I say this in love to you for your correction.

God bless you,

Casey

"Interesting, these tea leaves...."

Where did that one come from?

You'll never guess, unless you have seen the Pat Bagley book. Very funny stuff. Joseph Smith is shown staring into his hat: Emma Smith comes up with a cup of tea and snarls at her husband: "Give me that hat! Stop looking in that hat! Every day it's the same old thing: looking through urims and thingamajigs and talking with salamanders. Well, I have had it! Drink your tea and go outside and get some work done around this place!" And Emma walks away in a high dudgeon. Joseph looks down into his tea cup and says: "Interesting, these tea leaves."

The first time I saw that cartoon I nearly passed out laughing. It really got my funny bone.

So do you and everybody else who keeps bringing up all this OLD crap invented by antis over a hundred years ago. "No Man Knows my History" is about as accurate a portrayal of Joseph Smith as an atheist's attacks on the Bible.

Which, btw, are much the same as yours on the B of M and the rest of our religion.

Have you ever got into a lengthy discussion on proving the Bible with an atheist? Ever tried to prove the reality of Jesus Christ to an atheist? It turns out, according to them (and believe me, they pride themselves on studying this stuff thoroughly), that there is ZERO original evidence on the existence of Jesus Christ. The FIRST evidence AT ALL is at least twenty years later. By then Paul has made his Mediterranean "splash" and created his own religion. Yep, the atheists put the blame for all that miraculous Jesus crap squarely on Paul's narrow shoulders: he made up the whole Jesus of Narareth story out of whole cloth. Ridiculous. But you can't find any original proof that Christ really did all those things the Bible talks about, outside of the Bible itself. Sounds a lot like the same problem the *Mormons" are having with you unbelievers.
