Blog Post By Former Rabbi now LDS Missionary

[Onhech]

A while back I created a blog with a few people from the Mormon-nets and personal acquaintances one of those including Rameumptom of this forum also Tephrochr who is on this forum (along with myself).

Anyhow one of the Authors is Jewish born Elder Raymond Besse, a former Jewish Rabbi with a Bachelors in Judaic Studies from American Jewish University, he continued studying in Jerusalem becoming a Rabbi, he later converted and is currently serving as a part time missionary for the LDS church. Ray here gives an authoritative firsthand religious comparison between Mormons and Jews. He will be posting ever month and a half on this weekly posting blog for those who are interested in Jewish/Mormon studies, a great guy for questions.

Deuteronomy 

13 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

An excellent reply to this discussion Cathyyg..........

I am convinced that G-d is drawing Jews, Latter Day Saints and Roman Catholics toward a place where we can cooperate on

several of the largest dilemma's facing humanity at this time.

I will now quote a post that I made over on another discussion forum:

 

Mitt Romney, The White Horse President Prophecy and North Korea.

 

I woke up this morning with a plan in my mind on how the Jewish people can be given at least one Jerusalem Third Temple........ but perhaps even two of them....... One may be on the Temple Mount and probably have a Holy of Holies close to the Gihon Spring...... (well away from either the Dome of the Rock or the Al Aqsa Mosque)...... and there could well be a second Jerusalem Third Temple centred well outside Jerusalem as theorized by an off the scale brilliant Messianic Jewish scholar of Judaism...... .and Christianity.

Could there be two Jerusalem Third Temples?
