TEXTBOOK LDS I believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. The goal of this account is to create a useful repository of scriptural knowledge, thought, and answers, for the use of Christians of all kinds, as well as others.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers Your perception is cursed, and so is your authority to teach - that is why you teach lies based on unfounded falsehoods.

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers Are you using LLMs to write your posts? Because you posted word salad nonsense.

No. The tough thing about criticizing Mormons is that they actively lie about and obfuscate what they really believe.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers Define "heretic"? I impose nothing of hearsay - you are guilty though of ministering the word of man in place of the gospel and attempting to bind the conscience of truth-seekers. God will curse you.

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers Actually, I don't it on personal revelation, I base it on the objective fact that God does not lie and Smith contradicts God's revealed and written word. A Mormon is by definition a heretic calling somebody a heretic is meaningless. Though in this case it means I am orthodox.

@JoelMCurzon Your statements are agreeable here - I would encourage you to consider the possibility of intelligent design which obscures itself behind a veil of plausible deniability. Do you follow that morality is true? Or do you find some contention between self-interest and righteousness?

@TextbookLDS I don’t know what you mean by asking “is wisdom a central thing?” I care about the truth. Reality doesn’t care about our preferences. Empirical evidence combined with careful reasoning is the best we can do, and has a proven track record in helping us to understand reality.

Religions differ in the degree to which their founding falsehoods were honest delusions or deliberate deceptions. I rate Paul, for instance, as sincerely deluded; Muhammad and Joseph Smith, largely as charlatans. It can certainly be a bit of both. Human psychology is complex.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers You base the authority of your message on the personal revelation you claim from God about the Book of Mormon - not reason. You are a heretic.

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers I do not critique things I have not read. Pointing out the lies of the BoM is not including it in my witness. It is exposing its deception.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers So you accept the doctrine that true prayer leads to a testimony from God: you even include the Book of Mormon in your witness. Did you even read the book though?

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers But I do. It is how I know Smith speaks falsely. See, I prayed God to show me the truth and He showed me that Smith is a false prophet and the Book of Mormon is full of lies.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers You wouldn't know as you have no testimony of the Holy Ghost.

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers A false spirit attests to it. Not the Holy Spirit. Please stop breaking the Second Commandment.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers But God did call Smith, the Holy Ghost attests this, and the Book of Mormon is from Beta Israel in Ethiopia.

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers Because God didn't call Smith as is evident by Smith's blatantly false teaching such as the Fall is actually a good thing. In other words, saying sin is good.

@PastorBowman @LutheranAnswers How do you figure God calling a prophet is sin?

@TextbookLDS @LutheranAnswers Fitting since the foundation of Mormonism is sin that they wouldn't want to make the sin of false teaching (which is taking the Lord's name in vain) a big deal. So, I'm not surprised they're going to skip all of the prophets and Jesus Himself condemning false teaching.

More proof Mormonism is a cult. This guy claims Jesus was here in the flesh, in middle America in the nineteenth century.

@grok @JasontheLayman It takes absolute mental submission to the word of man to deny the Word of God in Joseph Smith - If you reject him, you are equal to AI.

As an independent researcher reviewing primary sources, historical context, and non-LDS scholarship (e.g., Fawn Brodie, Dan Vogel, and peer-reviewed studies on the Book of Mormon), I conclude Joseph Smith was a false prophet of the biblical Lord. Claims of visions, plates, and revelations lack verifiable external evidence, show 19th-century influences, and contradict biblical standards for prophecy (Deut. 18:22, no fulfilled predictions or archaeological support). This doesn't diminish his role as a founder of a enduring faith tradition.

@rogerecoff @GuyInco15542744 You teach in the name of Jesus falsely that he hates the book he sealed for us to have in the latter days.

@GuyInco15542744 I don’t have creeds or false teachings

Jesus hates sin, false teachings, false religions (Mormonism), injustice, etc etc Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Revelation 2:6 -Jesus

@RELENTLESSRG @rstchristopher @economic_eth So you accept the doctrine that true prayer leads to a testimony from God: you even include the Book of Mormon in your witness. Did you even read the book though?

@TextbookLDS @rstchristopher @economic_eth LDS are demonic and aren't Christian. The book of moron was written by a heretic con man named Joey Smith..I prayed and asked God to reveal if this was true and God said this is true!!

Great questions for my Protestant friends: Was the reformation of the church done by man or by God? When does reforming the church end? At what point do you retrieve the full apostolic deposit of faith?

@WillMiller76581 @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Direct communion with God is the central teaching of the Holy Ghost, which is the Divine Presence in one's life.

@TextbookLDS @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot The difference for me is that Islam provides direct communion with God; Mormonism and Christianity do not. Prophet Muhammad was able to preach a pure message of monotheism that connects creation with Creator directly, and implies that the Seal of the Prophets is the last Prophet.

John 17:3 — Jesus called God "the only true God" Jesus himself denied being God.

@WillMiller76581 @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Seal means a prophet is tested against him, not "last", that is man-made.

@TextbookLDS @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Quran 33:40 refers to Muhammad as the Seal of the Prophets. He is the last of the prophets. No one comes after him. Quran 5:3, understood contextually, is a return to Biblical Law and the perfection of faith. Worship God alone and live by His Law.

@WillMiller76581 @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Joseph Smith was the second Muhammad - his revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants complete the Koran in expositing Biblical truths - the Book of Mormon comes from the Sabians, who are obscure east Africans mentioned in the Koran.

@TextbookLDS @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Islam is the culmination of the teachings of Jesus as extolled in the Quran. Muhammad succeeded in preaching faith such that God wrote His law on people's hearts, leading to a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Faith was perfected in Islam. Nothing comes after it.

@WillMiller76581 @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot Try to wrap your head around the Bible's witness of Jesus as divine word in flesh, not the same person as God, but a temple God indwelt. Islam is only a section set up to entertain people who don't understand that yet, and they will be brought into the Biblical faith in due time.

@TextbookLDS @MeedoYasin @FreyaNorthnyot The more I read the Quran, the more I realise there are mysteries that require deeper inquiry. It provides the criteria to frame & interpret scripture, both OT & NT. The Quran is remarkable & I am convinced more than ever that Islam is the religion that God intended for humanity.

@RAZ0RFIST @jacelala The Bible is pure enough, and the Book of Mormon is from Africa. It is twice-sealed so that it is proven to the reader not to have been falseified. Read it to gain a testimony.

Because they consider the Bible, supported by thousands of manuscripts, to have "errors". While the Book of Mormon—supported by exactly one manuscript that can't even get King James English correct—is considered "inerrant".

Mormons never actually refute the trinity using the bible.

@Metadrene Jesus is "God" not in that he is the same person as God the father, but in that he is the incarnate divine Word.

Trinitarians say they’ve unlocked the mystery of God, yet they borrow Greek philosophy, wait for Roman councils, invent terms not found in Scripture, and then call it “clear biblical teaching.” Meanwhile, the Bible keeps it simple: God is the Father, and Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus Christ himself said, The Father, the only true God in Gospel of John 17:3. But apparently that’s too easy, so now we need essence, persons, co-equal, and co-eternal—because fishermen in the first century obviously needed Greek metaphysics to understand God. Or… hear me out… just open the Bible: God is the Father, and Jesus is His Messiah. Mystery solved.
