@CutWithout Took a few centuries for the priesthood authority to be removed?

The idea that Jesus established a Church and then everyone immediately got it wrong for 1700 years is one of the wildest assumptions in Mormonism.

The apologetic that Joseph Smith couldn’t have written the Book of Mormon rests on two ideas: (1) he had no access to other books and stories, and (2) he couldn’t borrow from those sources. He did, and he could.

There is a witches convention coming to town and there’s an internal debate amongst a group at my Church. Half of us want to go the convention to pray outside it with Rosary prayers & hymns. The other half are fearful & say it could put us in spiritual danger. What do you say?

@joshnaa2gez It actually wasn't as common to marry young teenagers back then as people think. The average age of marriage for women was more like early twenties in the 19th century.

“Early Mormon men married teenage girls way younger than them! And just because that was socially acceptable back then doesn’t make it right!” Really? Imagine living in a time when there was no modern medicine, and death during childbirth was terribly common… Now, can you imagine wanting to have children when you’re young and healthy? Or, imagine living in a time where conditions were harsh, safety nets were nonexistent, and you were always one misfortune away from absolute poverty, starvation and homelessness… Now, can you imagine wanting to marry a man who is older and has had time to develop skills and resources to take care of you? Or, imagine living in a time when average life expectancy was 35… Now, can you imagine having kids while you’re young to reduce their risk of becoming orphans? Or, imagine you lived in a time when families tended to stay close to support one another and communities were tight-knit and centered around supporting mothers and children… Now, can you imagine how the prospect of having children while young wouldn’t feel quite as daunting as it does now? So yes, in modern society, it’s different. And we understand a lot more about mental maturity now than we did back then. Though many now put it off way too long, I’m glad we have the luxury of delaying procreation for a few years until we are mentally mature enough. Our bodies evolved to be ready to make babies when we’re teenagers. Modern society makes it safe to delay for a bit. But that does not make modern people good and past generations bad. We have the luxury of our beliefs because they built a society that gave us that luxury.

@LeesRetard It's interesting you prioritize a philosophical definition of God formalized 300 years after Christ over Christ Himself.

6 Wild things Latter-day Saints believe about other Christians: • They’re our brothers and sisters. • We celebrate their faith in Jesus Christ. • We’re grateful for all the good they do in the world. • We love the service they provide in communities we share. • We admire their devotion to family and fellowship. • We’re glad to call them our neighbors and friends.

I wouldn't have thought so many people would be this ignorant, but apparently the labels we use really do matter in how we're perceived.

A young girl shares with her family that she's been selected to serve as a Mormon missionary. This is incredibly sad, and we pray that she gets converted out of her false religion and cult.

We have always been Christian, always used that label, and there has always been debate about how the term "Mormon" should be used. The re-emphasis on being members of Christ's Church rather than "Mormons" came several years after Romney. You've been fed a narrative that doesn't line up with facts.

This illustrates a fundamental difference that we don’t always understand about how we define terms. To a Latter-day Saint, being a Christian means being a follower/disciple of Jesus Christ. We don’t need the approval of another group, but we do want it clearly understood that everything we believe points to Christ - and Christ is the center of our worship and the center of the lifestyle we strive to live. When someone tells a Latter-day Saint they’re not a Christian - a Latter-day Saint hears that person denying the most central belief they hold. On the other hand, when some Christians define Christianity it isn’t centered on Christ - it’s centered on a creedal definition of Christianity and a trinitarian understanding of who God is - and those people are right - we don’t meet that definition and don’t claim to. Most of the confusion by Christians and Latter-day Saints around this is a difference in how they think the term should be used. We’re not trying to be in some club - we do emphatically want it understood that Christ is the center of our lives.

Why do Mormons want to be "Christians" so badly? The whole premise of their religion is that other churches are in apostasy and their creeds are an abomination to God. So why would they want validation from other Christians?

@PTSPentax It is the constant pivoting and rebranding that is annoying. LDS never wanted to be associated with Christianity, re: Brigham Young, until Romney ran for president. Then all of a sudden it mattered.

@Bar_tolmi We don't "want" to be Christians. We are Christians. If I told you that you weren't allowed to use a label to describe the innermost motivations of your soul, you might not care about my opinion, but you would be annoyed.

"Joseph Smith initially took an interest in the Kinderhook plates and reportedly made an initial attempt to translate one of the characters by the secular means available to him. He then reportedly wanted them authenticated by an expert before he did anything more with them. The owner of the plates took them back, and Joseph never followed up or mentioned them again." BH Roberts Foundation
C. Wilson 🇻🇦@TomorrowsWar

Some may not know this but in 1843, there were some gentlemen in Kinderhook, Illinois who wanted to see if Joseph Smith could really translate ancient records the way he said he could. These men would decide that they would make six small brass plates, then they randomly scratched in fake ancient writtings on them, buried them in an old mound, and then would act as if they had just discovered buried treasure. Most importantly they would make sure a Mormon was there to tell Joseph about all about it right away. As excepted the plates were then sent to him in Nauvoo. He decided to look at them and would end up saying he translated part of them. Joseph Smith's exact words were "I have translated a portion of them, and find they contain the history of the person with whom they were found. He was a descendant of Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and that he received his kingdom from the ruler of heaven and earth." So from completely fake plates made to trick him, he ended up coming up with a whole ancient Egyptian family history and a divine kingdom story. Later those men would ultimately admit it was a hoax and tests in the 1980s would prove that the plates were indeed modern at his time. Ironically, even the LDS Church’s own magazine would eventually would say that it was a 19th century hoax and the LDS would officially state "...Chemical and metallurgical analysis of the one surviving plate confirms the artifact was not of ancient production. Moreover, the characters on the plates do not match any known language and were likely invented by Fugate and Wiley." For years people pointed to them as proof he could translate ancient things. After the facts came out, the LDS story would completely change and say things such as "he wasn’t really translating by revelation, he was just studying the characters." This is why we should be careful trusting any single person who claims exclusive new revelation or secret ancient records that only they can access and verify. The Bible warns us to test everything, to beware of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing and to hold fast to the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants may differ on some points, but we all agree that the foundation of Christianity is Jesus Christ, His life, death, resurrection, and the teachings handed down through the apostles and not on one man's private translations that fail even the basic tests. When extraordinary claims like this don't hold up, it reminds every Christian to stay rooted in the Gospel we share and that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
