Brett “Scrambler” Smith

@AntHoneyJakes This is not doing any good. It's doing more harm than any good you think it may have accomplished. Truth is truth, and right is right, no matter the source or how you may dislike the way they look.

@BeeW1736886 @LDSaintNic @GuyInco15542744 @carmorg According to your theology, why did God place the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and create the serpent to tempt Eve? And did he know beforehand that Adam would eat of the fruit? If it was not what God wanted, please explain.

@LDSaintNic @GuyInco15542744 @carmorg I agree. So why would God include the fall in his plan?

According to Mormonism, is the Fall a good thing? carm.org/according-to-m…

We all received knowledge in our premortal life, and our first choice was to come to this world knowing that the knowledge of that life would be removed and that this world would be difficult, and that some, with their own free will, would not achieve the fullness. But that everyone, no matter when or where they were born, would be given the opportunity to accept the gospel, they would be given all opportunities in the next life to receive Jesus Christ if they didn't receive that opportunity in this life.

@bsking0311 @Lets_Talk_HC But Joe got special instructions before coming. Did we all? Because JF smith’s revelation was clear that certain chief saints were given secret instructions, which may or may not have included how to seal Fanny properly.

Under Calvinism, who’s to blame if God doesn’t choose to save me?

@Nitterghost @Lets_Talk_HC Everyone will be given a full opportunity to accept Jesus Christ and his gospel, and it will be up to those individuals to accept the level of light they want.

@Lets_Talk_HC Under the mormonist religion, who's to blame if father and mother(s?) god didn't give me special instructions before I got to earth, like D&C 138 clearly states? Is it my fault my 'intelligence' was formed to not accept Joe sealing Fanny without proper priesthood authority?

@B_Christs_Amb @conservmillen And that’s why we keep records and perform all ordinances by proxy so that no one will be denied a full opportunity to accept the fullness. We have no desire to exclude anyone at any time.

@conservmillen I think this is always the oddest part to me when Mormons act offended when Christian refuse to call them Christians as well- Mormonism is foundationally schismatic & exclusivist. They try to create a "middle tier" afterlife to soften this, but they themselves exclude Christians

Who goes to heaven, according to Mormonism? Jacob Hansen, LDS apologist, argues that, according to Mormon teaching, one must be a part of the LDS church to spend eternity with Christ. Here’s my response:

@StrykerStryker5 @KelseaJ112 @JayBird1782 So that there are standards at all 👌

@KelseaJ112 @JayBird1782 The church’s standards are not Gods standards but a cultish religion’s mechanism of control.

This is not what Mormonism teaches. They teach you cannot even enter into the temple where their demanded covenants are to be made to make it to heaven without paying 10% tithe, wearing specific church approved underwear, keeping the sabbath, and complete loyalty to the church.

@SamuelMelton5 @JasontheLayman @bfredbaker You think this shows you don't know what we believe.

@JasontheLayman @bfredbaker Their beliefs are based on doubting The Bible. It's sickening.

According to the Book of Mormon, 4000 years before Christopher Columbus made his treacherous transatlantic journey, the Jaredites accomplished this feat! (Without sails or the mention of a fresh water supply on their year long journey.) Truest book on earth, folks! 😂

@JasontheLayman Yeah, God is amazing. Working through limited people to fulfill his will.

@Roxythedoodle @jacksonfrandsen @5solas What is more ridiculous that a donkey talking, a staff turns into a snake, a prophet using a cup to discern dreams or that Christ visiting a sprinter of his people in the new world?

@jacksonfrandsen @5solas That’s ridiculous

Mormons don't have a reverence for Christ, they blaspheme Him. They have a completely different Christ altogether. If you want to see the theology behind that TV show you're watching, this is it.

@BlackLabelAdvsr @HonestYPTweets Twisted and half truth are still lies. Bearing faults witness is a sin.

@HonestYPTweets Truth

At this point it’s willful ignorance on Jenkins part. There is no lack of evidence that Mormons teach a different gospel. He’s been told this may times and keeps ignoring the warnings.

@DiscipleFidei @ThoughtfulSaint D&C 120

@ThoughtfulSaint You need a creed, bud. No one knows what you believe.

Well I can sent some missionaries to tell you about him.

@deanandsha @ThoughtfulSaint 👍

@bsking0311 @ThoughtfulSaint If you throw a lot of warm spaghetti against a wall some may stick. Try to find Mormon sources... Not a child's book author. This isn't serious academic work man.

Yes we do.

@deanandsha @ThoughtfulSaint scripturecentral.org/blog/five-comp…

I will step aside and let famous Mormon archeologist Thomas Stuart Ferguson summit up for you.... In 1976, after fruitless searching, Ferguson wrote, "The real implication... is that you can't set Book of Mormon geography down anywhere—because it is fictional and will never meet the requirements of the dirt-archaeology. I should say—what is in the ground will never conform to what is in the book". You're making the mistake of insisting the bom.to be true instead of using logic to come to a factual conclusion. The angel said the Indians were semetic, Joe's book said it, by "translation" from the plates, the whole community proudly boasted about the priesthood powers and god telling them that it was true. Dna 1990 Game over Joe just lied.

There is a difference between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. For instance, there have been people living in, and we have never lost key locations that aid further discoveries. We know the location of Jerusalem, so we know generally where to dig. We don't know the exact locations of the events in the Book of Mormon because those places were lost to time. So we don't know exactly where to dig. Then we would have to take into account the climate where it took place. For instance, the Middle East is a great place for archaeological discoveries because of its temperature and climate, which preserve records. If we go to Central or South America, the climate doesn’t preserve meals, and the preservation of skeletal remains isn’t as likely. Just because we have some archaeological evidence for the historicity of the Bible does not prove that Moses parted the Red Sea, that Jonah lived for three days in the belly of a whale, that Jesus walked on water, or that Jesus rose on the third day. So my standard doesn't require archaeological evidence. As for the DNA evidence we do have, DNA group X has its ties to the Middle East, and in Israel, the timeframe could be off, depending on the study you are reading. Also, we have to ask ourselves what evidence we would expect to find from a relatively small group of people moving to an inhabited land, and how much of their DNA would be available today?

Foisting arguments on my that i haven't made so you can pretend to discredit me, is distasteful to say the least. We have found enough to effectively rule out the bom narrative. The biblical archeology for instance is 3-5% worked through and it confirms the bible. Let me ask you a question Brett... How does one go about rectifying Joe's story that an angel moroni told him in the 1820's that the plates held an ancient record of the people's who's remnant were the native american indians, and the plates confirmed that statement, doesn't that mean that the DNA would have had to have changed from the 1820's to 1990? Or that both the plates and the angel were wrong?

Can you please tell me how much of Mesoamerica has been excavated and studied by archaeologists? And when you see how incredibly small the percentage is, it would be like landing in Florida and saying North America doesn't have large mountains or deserts. Less than 10% has been examined, and a fraction of that has been excavated. And you are telling that with this lack of knowledge, because the work hasn't been done yet, you know Joseph was lying, that's bold. You are like those who have been proven wrong time and time again. I’m sure you would’ve loved to say there were no steel swords in the ancient world in the seventh century BC, but oops, one was found among ancient Israelites in Egypt. Egyptians didn’t use metal to carve on for religious and important texts. Oh, oops, no, we found dozens or hundreds of those. You’d be the one who says there is no barley found in the Americas until after Spain arrived, until oops, it was found. We know far less about America's ancient world than we do about America’s modern world.

I don't understand the trinity. Billy Graham didn't pretend to understand the trinity. But joe smith said the angel moroni told him in 1830 the remnant of the indians were a lost tribe of Isreal and that same angel gave him plates that he translated told him the same thing. And that makes joe a liar. And that's just one of the thousand verifiable ways joe is a liar. And if you're going to spend time and effort justifying that obvious lie, you're either a liar on the same level or a complete fool. And either way, if you continue with this stupidity, any word out of your lying/fool mouth is counter to truth. You don't have to be a liar. And you don't have to be a fool. The moon and sun are not full of quakers, you won't be damned if you drink coffee or tea, or "hot drinks", you don't have to wear magic masonic underwear... Grow up. Stop embarrassing yourself.

@WhineAndDivine @RealTStevenson @Protestia @Ch_JesusChrist Wow you really have to try to be this wrong.

@RealTStevenson @Protestia @Ch_JesusChrist Mormon Christ’s atonement is the result of a vote for Him as opposed to His brother, Satan. He, nor the Father, nor the Holy Spirit, are anything more than superhuman. They did not create us, rather made a home for our “eternal intelligence”. That’s not Christ, that’s sci-fi.

This is how “Christian” @Protestia is: -rips video off 18-year-old girl’s social media of her reading her mission call for the @Ch_JesusChrist -does so without permission -posts video to grift off their Twitter page views -mocks the 18-year-old girl and the rest of the religion as a “cult” Meanwhile, the 18-year-old girl is about to go serve people and tell them about Jesus Christ for 18 months. Yet you call yourself the “Christian.”

@RickyOrtega___ @LukeFHan @counseloftrent What scripture and how?

@LukeFHan @counseloftrent That doesn’t make him an actual true prophet of God though. The scriptures contradict Joseph Smith therefore he is a false prophet.

Joseph Smith is a FALSE PROPHET! Learn more here: bit.ly/465klfi

@SenorVito9 @RestoredTruth8 What's the Gospel found in the New Testament, and what different Gospel do you think the Book of Mormon teaches?

@RestoredTruth8 Honestly, it's the only real response. Let's be honest 😁

Galatians 1:8 and your done

No, we don't believe in the rapture. The simple answer is that most/all do believe in the tribulation to some degree, some to the point that the world is in total turmoil, while others don't think it needs to be that bad for Christ to return. We don't focus on those topics at church; we focus on being ready and accepting his time, and with that, we can live in peace because we know the Plan of Salvation and what our part is in that plan, and whatever happens here in mortality is only a stepping stone to the day of judgment and our resurrection.

@BlackBlessedLDS Do yall believe in the rapture and the tribulation?

LDS don’t believe in sola scriptura or ceased revelation so this doesn’t apply to us as an argument.

@NoOnePortant @Mormonger Yes

@Mormonger Asked this question of Mormons a couple times and haven’t gotten an answer. Is Jesus God?

He's got a point We really don't emphasize Jesus enough
