August 29 – Were there Catholics & Protestants in 600 BC? Jeremiah 5:31 “The prophets prophesy falsely … and my people love to have it so”.

Kindly share with a Mormon the message in today’s reference can’t be true because the Nephites wouldn’t have known what a church was in 600 BC. They wouldn’t have known what being a Catholic or Protestant was either, which is what this passage was referring to.
For a quick history lesson on the origins of Catholicism see GotQuestions.org. They also have info on the origins of the Protestant Reformation. Both resources are great when explaining the history of Christianity.

1 Nephi 14:10 “And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.”
1Nephi 14:10 sounds Anti-Christian.
1 Nephi 13 says Great and ABOMINABLE Church.
Joseph Smith says he was told “ALL CREEDS were an ABOMINATION in his sight”.
“ONLY TRUE church on the face of the earth”.
Dear LDS members,
I could go on…so I pray you get my point. Joseph Smith (and other prophets), The Book of Mormon, and the missionaries have taught, and teach all Christian Churches are wrong. Jude 3 tell us to “earnestly contend for the faith”. So please don’t feel persecuted, when “the Body of Christ”, lovingly shares the TRUTH with you. With all due respect the presecution started on your end. We are merely trying to explain to you that your preconceived assumptions of the Christian Church is very misguided.
1 Corinthians 15 I-4 is the Gospel my friends.
[…] 3.Jesus said true believers must worship Him in spirit and in truth – John 4:24. There is a wholesale rejection of the Jesus in the Bible. Their own canon denounces the body of Christ by describing Jesus’ bride as the whore of the earth. […]
