We’re putting the latest stats together and they should be done by tomorrow, sorry for the delay! I’m not a math person, so I’m taking extra time to check my calculations via the math guy in my life – Kirk! 🙂
We received a few comments via the blog, site, and private e-mails from people in response to the Church’s stats we reported on yesterday. Be sure to check them out! The mess this church has left in its wake is startling. Please, continue to pray for those involved whether active, inactive, or otherwise.
The one thing we noticed in the talks they delivered is the absence of our dear Lord Jesus. Their talks were reminiscent a pep rally for business people, and didn’t focus on Jesus at all. Their scripture cited below is a good example.
Doctrine and Covenants 132:15-17; “Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my 
word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world. 16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory. 17 For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.”
Matthew 22:30; “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it again today. Mormons are some of the smartest people you’ll ever meet, proving Paul’s argument in Ephesians 6:11-12. Our struggle isn’t again flesh and blood, but the powers, and principalities of the air. Sadly, being smart doesn’t always transfer over into the spiritual realm…
In light of that phenomena, we’re asking the Mormon people consider some of the following questions for the day –
1.If you were created by the Mormon god to be a person, how does this god change someone into an angel?
2.Are there Biblical passages showing God would do this to a nominal believer?
3.Since Mormons don’t believe in the Christian God, why do they use the Bible? Why not create some other writing, and call it something other than the Bible?
4.Outside of Joseph Smith’s self-proclamation of authority, and ‘revelation’ from God, where did he receive the know-how to ‘re-interpret’ God’s holy word?
5.Are any extraneous sources available outside the LDS Church that either verifies, or speaks favorably of, Joe Smith’s claims?
Scripture plainly teaches that angels are a separate creation than humans. I think idea of people becoming angels after death was around a long time before Smith, and just borrowed that idea.
