Mormon Dilemma 535

God of Christianity vs god of Islam

Journal of Discourses 3:39; “…instead of saying that Mahometanism prevailed against Christianity, and that Christianity was in danger of being done away by its prevalence, we would rather say, that where Mahometanism prevailed, it taught and established one truth at least, viz., the true and living God, and so far as this went, it did preserve people from worshipping idols. And had the crescent waved on the tower of London, or on the church of St. Paul, instead of the cross, and had the Mahometan religion been enforced instead of the Roman religion that was enforced for a series of generations, and had tradition riveted what the sword enforced, then that nation and the surrounding nations would have been worshippers of one true God instead of idols; they would have recognized it in theory at least, whether they would have worshipped Him in spirit and in truth or not. But now [Christians] do not recognize Him in theory, for they acknowledge as their god an imaginary being without body, parts, or passions.” – Apostle Parley P. Pratt

Genesis 21:10; “Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.”

Romans 9:7; “Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.”

John 4:24; “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Colossians 1:14-16; “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.”

If Islam is worshipping the one true God then why aren’t Mormons Muslim?  What is it about the God of the Bible that was so horrible? 

Why couldn’t the Church accept Him then and why do they continue to reject Him today? 

It seems the seer stones of witchcraft, the hieroglyphics of Egypt, the sword of Islam and yes, even the god of Masonry is always more acceptable to Mormonism before our dear Lord, Christ Jesus.  May He have mercy on my people.
