    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Deu 4:2, Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deu 12:32, What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    What matters is that I hold in my hand a Bible that has as its last book, the book of Revelation...and that in its last verses it says that those who add to or take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, will have plagues added to them and/or have their names taken out of the book of...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I need an exact quote. Because I'm certain that in Deuteronomy it says nothing about plagues or having your name removed from the book of life. If they believe in a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible, they would be defined as pseudo-Christian (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4). I'll say it...

    Verses in Job that to me appear to substantiate soul sleep: Job 14:20-22, Job 21:32-33.

    Are you Rapture (Catching Up) Ready?? Beware!!

    Either way, God will keep us from that hour of temptation if we keep the word of His patience (Revelation 3:10).

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    If you add to the pages of the Holy Bible (by holding the book of mormon to be inspired), the plagues of the Book of Revelation will be added unto you (Revelation 22:18-19). If you take away from the pages of the Holy Bible (by holding it to be true only insofar as it is correctly translated)...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    Propitiation means "appeasement of wrath", so I believe that you are in fact grasping at straws. Scripture does indeed say that Christ propitiated God's wrath on the Cross. The only thing preventing you from seeing it before was that the holy scriptures used a big word that you couldn't...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    You have of course done what was prophesied about in 2 Timothy 4:3-4; you have gone to a different translation in order to deny the clear message of holy scripture; and in this you have heaped for yourself a teacher (the translator of the faulty Bible that you are quoting) to tell you what your...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    Read John 1:1, John 1:14. Jesus is the Word. The words that Jesus spoke are spirit and they are life (John 6:63). Since the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Jesus and the entire canon of holy scripture is inspired by Him, it should be clear that Jesus spoke forth every word of the holy scriptures...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    It always is. As long as you hold Joseph Smith's teachings above those of the Holy Bible, you are following Joseph Smith's version of who Christ is...and in this sense you are following Joseph Smith. And I believe that 2 Nephi 9:28-29, might lead you to believe, as a mormon, that Joseph...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    The context of the entire passage being that you shall not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the grain...I think it is safe to say that it is speaking of their living (their sustenance for food, clothing, and shelter). Good to hear.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    I have come to Christ and I testify to you that He has given me life. You should be aware of what He said in Luke 6:37, however. So, it seems that you believe that holding the scriptures to be the inspired and inerrant word of God is tantamount to refusing Christ and being carnal. This is a...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    The double honour being spoken of in 1 Timothy 5:17-18...traditionally interpreted as monetary compensation for work that is done towards the ministry. While a minister's receiving monetary compensation might hinder the gospel of Christ, in that it makes the minister appear to be in it for the...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Of course we ought to rely on the Holy Spirit for interpretation.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    It is the holy scriptures that testify of Christ (John 5:39). All scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). And, He has magnified His word above all His name (Psalms 138:2)

    Then toss out his writings and believe only what the Bible says about Jesus Christ.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Since in mormonism there is a special blessing for practicing polygamy, why are ministers punished by the commandment that they can only have one wife?

    Why don't you share your testimony in the testimonies section?

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    A more pertinent question might be, "What did you believe when you were a Christian?" That would very likely bring about the answer of what Christians believe; unless the one who converted to Islam previously had false beliefs about Christianity as a Christian.
