srm

very funny!

Ok. I was quoting a general statement for discussion sake. My quote was the LDS believe that God saw them all as abominations. Would you disagree with that statement? Yes, I disagree. I think that we believe that the other Churches are wrong...that the creeds are an abomination and that those preachers were corrupt.

The problems started long before the press was destroyed. I think that it more of an economic/political reason than polygamy...

The History of Joseph Smith by his mother Lucy Mack Smith. The Traveler which version?

No, the Lord said that they were wrong. their creeds were an abomination that those professors (the local preachers) were corupt "Joseph was supposed to ride in front with the driver but the driver kicked Joseph out of the wagon so a teenage girl could ride with him. The foot print was later discovered in young Joseph’s chest. Joseph was alone and lost consciousness. He was picked up by a stranger that carried young Joseph ten miles to the wagon camp and then disappeared. " what is your source

I love Strang's quote (on his deathbed) when asked about succession in the leadership of his church. "I don't want to talk about it"

He will be wearing a red robe.

The leadership of whom you speak did not felt that it was authentic to the time period...not that it was an authentic letter. Granted they clearly didn't know but authentic or not it was a significant piece of LDS history...oh, BTW, you've tipped your hand.

I think that it is a moot point because it is not gonna happen...however, for the sake of the question. I would go to the Lord for a spiritual comfirmation.

Now, I'm no expert mind you but from what I understand; the temple workers would not even give you permission to enter the temple if you are not dressed appropriately. M. You would not be turned away for not wearing 'sunday clothes' I went just recently in very casual clothes...no-one said anything.

If I recall polycarp claimed to have studied under John. Do you have any proof? On the other hand...Joseph Smith studied under John too (and many others including Jesus).

We aren't saying that it wasn't a legitmate ordinance...rather that we don't do it now in favor of another legitmate ordinance...anointing with oil.

Because we feel that the changes are directed/approved via revelation from God.

I've always enjoyed being president of the Church.
