• Fourteen Years After Columbine: Evil Lurks, Culture Crumbles

  April 19, 2013 at 1:39pm

  Darrell Scott was right. Evil people are responsible for evil acts. He was also right to blame the politicians who are only concerned about their next election and how they are perceived to future voters. Our government has failed us. they refuse to enact and enforce laws that will truly protect the citizens of this Republic. Do you really want to prevent school shootings? Put an armed guard in every school. It will cost less and be far more effective than trying to restrict gun possession of law abiding citizens. Do you really want to stop terrorism like the Boston tragedy? Its simple. Restrict immigration. Stop allowing immigration from countries with terrorist ties. Investigate the background of every foreign student coming to this country. If someone overstays their visa, hunt them down and deport them after a lengthy prison stay. Bring our troops home from overseas and seal our northern and southern borders. The question to ask is why do our politicians continue to endanger us and allow the erosion of our quality of life in this country?

• Fox’s Gretchen Carlson Breaks Down Again After Asking Neurosurgeon If the Children Killed in CT Will Remember What Happened ‘in Heaven’

  In reply to JEANNIEMAC.

  29Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Matthew 22:30
  The context of that verse referred to the married status of Christians not to what happens to children when they die. When you die, whether an adult or child, you do not become an angel, you remain a human and retain the personhood you had on earth. I believe those childrem are with Jesus in heaven, but they are human not angels. Angels are a totally different creation than human beings.

  Hopefully the chief medical correspondent from NBC just made a careless mistake, but he actually suffered a corneal burn, which is temporary. A true retinal burn occurs when gazing directly at the sun and reults in permanent damage to your vision.

  To those in the LDS church I ask, if you lived in Joseph Smith’s time and a church leader desired your wife, would you have given her up? This actually happened:

  The fact that Joseph Smith asked for other men’s wives was made very plain in a sermon given in the Tabernacle by Jedediah M. Grant, second counselor to Brigham Young. In this sermon, delivered Feb. 19, 1854, Grant revealed:

  “When the family organization was revealed from heaven — the patriarchal order of God, and Joseph began, on the right and on the left, to add to his family, what a quaking there was in Israel. Says one brother to another, ‘Joseph says all covenants are done away, and none are binding but the new covenants: now suppose Joseph should come and say he wanted your wife, what would you say to that?’ ‘I would tell him to go to hell.’ This was the spirit of many in the early days of this Church….

  “What would a man of God say, who felt aright, when Joseph asked him for his money? He would say, ‘Yes, and I wish I had more to help to build up the kingdom of God.’ Or if he came and said, ‘I want your wife?’ ‘O yes,’ he would say, ‘here she is, there are plenty more.’… Did the Prophet Joseph want every man’s wife he asked for? … If such a man of God should come to me and say, ‘I want your gold and silver, or your wives,’ I should say, ‘Here they are, I wish I had more to give you, take all I have got.’ ” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, pages 13-14).

  Polygamy is still an essential doctrine for Mormons. They say they no longer practice it. That is true , but the catch is they believe they will practice it in heaven. In fact you are expected to practice this in heaven when you are the god of your own world.

  In 1891 the First Presidency and Apostles of the Mormon Church made the following statement in a petition to the President of the United States: “We formerly taught to our people that polygamy or celestial marriage as commanded by God through Joseph Smith was right; that it was a necessity to man’s highest exaltation in the life to come.” (Reed Smoot Case, vol. 1, page 18)

  Brigham Young made this uncompromising statement on August 19, 1866:

  “The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, page 269

  Glenn how does your wife feel about you having other wives in the life to come in order for you you be exalted? Do you expect your daughter to be part of some man’s, sorry, I mean some god’s heavenly harem? Glenn do the historical research on the beginning of your religion. The hypocrisy, lies, and deception of your founders is there for all to see. Joseph, Brigham, and their like were no men of God. They were egotistical tyrants who used religion to wield power and abuse others.

  “This woman, and others, whose experience has been very similar, are among the very best women in the church; they are as pure-minded and virtuous women as any in the world. They were seduced under the guise of religion,…

  “Some of these women have since said they did not know who was the father of their children; this is not to be wondered at, for after Joseph’s declaration annulling all Gentile marriages, the greatest promiscuity was practiced; and, indeed, all sense of morality seemed to have been lost by a portion at least of the church.” (Wife No. 19, 1876, pages 70-71)

  Joseph Smith was a lecherous con man who use religion to abuse others. He was not a Christian or a prophet.

  I’m disappointed in Glenn’s standard LDS whitewash concerning polygamy, It had nothing to do with there being more women than men. Polygamy was introduced by Smith as an excuse to commit adultery against his wife Emma. Think about it. In the 1800′s no religious woman would commit adultery or fornication. He had to justify it with a new revelation from God to his followers. That’s the only way virtuous women in his church would go along with it.

  Ann Eliza Young, who had been married to Brigham Young, charged that Joseph Smith was guilty of adultery:

  “Joseph not only paid his addresses to the young and unmarried women, but he sought ‘spiritual alliance’ with many married ladies… He taught them that all former marriages were null and void, and that they were at perfect liberty to make another choice of a husband. The marriage covenants were not binding, because they were ratified only by Gentile laws…. consequently all the women were free….

  “One woman said to me not very long since, while giving me some of her experiences in polygamy: ‘The greatest trial I ever endured in my life was living with my husband and deceiving him, by receiving Joseph’s attentions whenever he chose to come to me.’

  “This woman, and others, whose experience has been very similar, are among the very best women in the church; they are as pure-minded and virtuous women as any in the world. They were seduced under the guise of religion,…

  Folks,
  When all else fails read the Bible: Galations 1: 6-9. Verse 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

  Perhaps Joseph Smith did see a spiritual entity. Paranormal manifestations have occurred and continue to occur. That is why God gave us scripture. We are to test what we hear whether from a man, preacher, or entity through the lens of God’s holy Word. When someone starts proclaiming new or better or “restored” doctrine, and it contradicts scripture, then it is false.
