Hey I saw your response on the truth about mormonism and what not and would
just like to clear one thing, before I do I would just like to say I'm happy
with the fact that everyone has their own view on life, so don't think I
am
trying to preach or anything, I just wanted to clear one thing up.
Yes, Joeseph did change and edit the bible, in our belief not to make it
fit
his revelations or to make them real, but because god told him to. After
years ad years and years of the bible being translated over thousands of
times there were mistakes in the bible, understanble. It is our belief that
god just wanted him to make them right. Joeseph didn't try to hide the fact
that he changed it either. The King James version used by many religions
today will explain at the start Joeseph smiths contributions.
Have a wonderful day.

Greetings,
I am sorry for the slow response of my reply, I just got back from a vacation.
I am very glad that you send my an e-mail response and I am going to respond
this.
when I attack Joseph Smith I use scripture only, and the scripture I use
should be in your bible too, unless it was edited.
This was your statement: (just to remind you)
"Yes, Joeseph did change and edit the bible, in our belief not to make it
fit his revelations or to make them real, but because god told him to."
I am going show how it is not possible 'that God told him to' if you believe
in the bible to be the truth
1) God will never change, the word will never change John 1:1, 1 Samuel 15:29,
malachi 3:6
True right? we have a never changing God
2) The bible tells us to look out for prophets that will try to change the
word of God Galatians 1:6-10 Deuteronomy 13: 1-15
According too these verses we can test for false prophets if they teach contradicting
to the word
Joseph Smith Contradicted (just to list a few):
- Jesus and Satan being brothers Genesis 3:1, Colossians 1:15-17
- Eternal marriage in Heaven Matthew 22:30-31
- God having a body of Flesh and Bones John 4:24
- existance of other Gods Psalm 86:10, Isaiah 43:10
- progression to Godhood Isaiah 43:10
- God having a father 1 ch 16:9
The list goes on...and on...( I am not kidding!)
3) The prophecy test, in the above verse in section (2) we can tell whether
a prophet is from God if his prophecies are fufilled
out of his 72 known prophecies, 1 came to pass, 3 are under fire for being
written after the event took place, and 68 proved false.
plus he added and took away from the Bible (which I talked about in my message
post) which revalations warned about in Revelations 22:18-20
4) Spiritual Guidance, you could very well get spiritual feelings in the
mormon church, infact that would be biblical 1 John 4:1
That is why you must test for the Truth, According to bible Joseph Smith
is a False Prophet.
All this I am telling you is probably coming as quite a surprise, but I sincerly
hope you look at the scripture. All the prophecies in the bible about false
prophets describe what Joseph Smith did exactly. He changed scripture, false
prophecied, and is trying to decieve.
I know a God who always answers prayers, and is always faithful. Mormons
will ask you to pray that the book of Mormon is true, that is not biblical.
This is what you should do...Ask God 'was Joseph Smith a false prophet?'
and wait for and answer from him, not from your church.
I hope you take some time pray about all this, asking questions.
Thats for your e-mail, I hope you have a great day, and I ask that the LORD
bless you entirely.
Aaron
