December 13 — 1 Peter1:19 “But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
_____
It’s rare someone will hear about the blood of Christ, or the cross at any sacrament meeting held at the local Mormon ward. Share with a Mormon why it was necessary the sacrifice had to be spotless.
The Greek word for blemish is: amoômos. It means without blame (unblameable), or faultless. The Mormon will hear the phrase “lamb of God” couched in the middle of ordering them to obey the ordinances and laws of the gospel; this makes it confusing, and nonsensical! On the flip side, they’ll more than likely hear the following about Smith.
_____
“When Joseph went to Carthage to deliver himself up to the pretended requirements of the law, two or three days previous to his assassination, he said: “I am going like a lamb to the slaughter; but I am calm as a summer’s morning; I have a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards all men. I SHALL DIE INNOCENT, AND IT SHALL YET BE SAID OF ME—HE WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.”—The same morning, after Hyrum had made ready to go—shall it be said to the slaughter? yes, for so it was.” Doctrine and Covenants 135:4
____
Pray that Mormons will see that Smith was not a like a lamb to the slaughter!
With Love in Christ —

Prayers for all Mormons. Smith was no lamb, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

MJ – that’s a good analogy!
[…] Was Joe Smith a Lamb to the Slaughter? […]
Not a lamb…false prophet.
One nice thing about being part of the body of Christ, is when we spot a false prophet, when a wolf creeps in. We can rebuke their unbiblical heresy, and find someone who teaches sound doctrine…and still be Christian.
But if you’re LDS or JW, you can’t go to another ward or Kingdom hall.
You’re right on both! It’s sad isn’t it?
