John 4 (King James) 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, aI that speak unto thee am he. Notice the difference in verse numbers. John 4 (Joseph Smith inspired version) 21 The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 22 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 23 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 24 Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship; and salvation is of the Jews. 25 And the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 26 For unto such hath God promised his Spirit. And they who worship him, must worship in spirit and in truth. 27 The woman said unto him, I know that Messias cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things. 28 Jesus said unto her, I who speak unto thee am the Messias.

That's okay...let's just disagree agreeably right now on that issue. I think the LDS presentation would continue with additional information and questions, right? Just please keep going with your original plan. I haven't even read about the testimony of Joseph Smith. Please stay on course to share the entire LDS Faith, and don't anticipate our answers. We can get into specific issues after you present the entire LDS Faith. You have my word that I will do my best to answer your questions later on. I will not have answers for all of your questions either. We are trying to understand The Infinite perfectly wise being that we worship as Almighty God. ![]() Where are you act on your presentation?

Pray, ponder and read correct and inspired scripture. Remember, we believe in the Bible "as long as it is translated correctly". See: The LDS Articles of Faith Let's move on... Discussion 2 The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel of Jesus Christ 1) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ 2) Repentance 3) Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins (by one who possesses the correct authority) 4) Laying of of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost (by one who possesses the correct authority) Endure to the end (continued obedience to God's laws) And I'll add... Temple ordinances also must be performed, (after a year of continued obedience to the principles of Christ's restored gospel found in the LDS faith) allowing the individual to partake of complete salvation and exaltaion with God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, in their kingdom.

my flip chart is still at home and I'm at work, so I'll get it later and try to post the corresponding pics for each discussion. It's not that important at this point, just silliness.

It's extremely slow at work, so I think the Lord is doing this to allow me to get this done, otherwise I wouldn't have enough time to give this my proper attention.

God took care of him today after he caught him trying to knock out my computer with that freak storm.
![]() I've never seen the power flicker off and on so rapidly like that before, ever. It was similar to a semi-automatic or machine gun type speed as it flickered on and off. I was sure my computer was a gonner. ![]() I have no surge protector here at work. Last edited by FFH; 05-29-2008 at 09:35 PM.. |

I'm bored so I'll post the last 4 discussions
Discussion 3 Apostacy of Christ's True Church Restoration of the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Discussion 4 Plan of Salvation Pre-mortal Existence Eternal Progression Eternal Families Ongoing Work for the Dead in Sacred LDS Temples Law of Chastity Word of Wisdom (LDS health code) Discussion 5 Sacrifice Brings Blessings Fasting Tithes and Offerings Discussion 6 Three-fold Mission of the Church Perfect the Saints Proclaim the Gospel (Christ's fully restored gospel) Redeem the Dead I'll post the other two discussions here so they're all together Discussion 1 The Plan of our Heavenly Father 1) God has used ancient and modern prophets to reveal his plan through all generations of time. 2) Joseph Smith was a modern day prophet of the Lord, who restored the fullness of Jesus Christ's gospel in these last days. 3) The Book of Mormon is a sacred record of those who lived on the ancient American continent, some of whom Christ personally visited, after his death on the cross. 4) The Holy Ghost reveals God's truths to men on earth. 5) Moroni (whom buried the plates, in what is now known as Upstate, New York, where Joseph Smith later discovered them) has promised us, in the Book of Mormon, that if we pray with real intent, we can know the "truth of all things". Moroni 10: 4-5 4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. 5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. Discussion 2 The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel of Jesus Christ 1) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ 2) Repentance 3) Baptism by Immersion for the Remission of Sins (by one who possesses the correct authority) 4) Laying of of Hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost (by one who possesses the correct authority) Endure to the End (continued obedience to God's laws) And I'll add... Temple ordinances also can be performed, (after a year of continued obedience to the principles of Christ's restored gospel) allowing the individual to eventually partake of complete salvation and exaltaion with God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, in their kingdom (highest degree of glory).

Of course, but until your audience has gained a testimony of the JST, perhaps you should stick with what they believe.

Let's say we understand that the LDS Faith teaches that God uses modern day Prophets in these last days. In think Rome would argue that God uses modern day Apostles in these last days (Peter and apostolic succession). |
