GmanJoe::eek:
I honestly can\'t believe this GmanJoe. You are posting info about the LDS church that you have obtained from an obviously anti-Mormon site (as you can tell by the "The Mormon Mythology" and "True Christianity?" header on that site), yet you claim that is what we believe. I like to call that the "outsider" knows better than the "insider" fallacy, which obviously isn\'t the case. :rolleyes: I guess I\'ll refute what you posted by that site to clear things up.
Each of these spirits requires a body in order to develop into a god. This problem was put before the gods\' assembly in which Elohim\'s two eldest sons were present also. It was suggested that the planet Earth should be created in order to provide a place where the many spirits were to be given a trial period to experience life on Earth in human bodies.
Here is the first evidence (from what you have posted) that this site doesn\'t know what they\'re talking about. The planet Earth was not the only planet created by God. It is one of an innumerable amount. Planet Earth is the most wicked of all of God\'s planets though, which is why Christ was crucified on this planet instead of some other planet. We are the only ones wicked enough to crucify our own savior.
Lucifer, since he wanted to deprive man of his freedom of action, suggested himself as the saviour of this new planet and its inhabitants.
The reason for Lucifer wanting to be our savior was not to "deprive man of his freedom," but
to get all the glory of saving us to himself. His plan was to deprive man of his freedom and force us to do good, but that is not the reason he wanted to be our savior.
Christ on the other hand wanted us to have a choice, and in turn, giving us the glory of making it back to God.
At the following voting, the gods acceded to Jesus\' suggestion.
There was no voting about it. Jesus\'s plan was God\'s plan. It was the plan that has been used forever. It is THE plan. Satan thought that he could have the glory to himself, so he made up his own plan. But of course, God being the all knowing God that he is, saw through Satan\'s plan.
Furiously, Lucifer instigated a riot and persuaded one third of the spirits to join him.
A riot? Um, where are they getting this info from? There was no riot, only one of the hardest choices we had ever made. We had to choose between our older brothers\' plans. We loved them both, which made this choice extremely hard. For those of you with two older brothers, if you had to choose to follow just one of them, don\'t you think it would be a difficult choice? Unfortunately 1/3 of all the spirits followed Satan.
In doing so, he became Satan and his followers became demons who were denied the possibility of acquiring physical bodies.
Demons? That is wrong. They are still spirits like they were in the premortal life.
During the ensuing riot, the less courageous spirits were cursed with black skin on Earth – and in this way the Negro race came about.
That is a lie. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believes what the Bible says, that Kane was the one who started the black race. The black people are not "less courageous spirits." The person who wrote that is extremely racist.
And GmanJoe, like I already said, stop spreading rumors about our church.
Also, about that polygamist thing, that site you got that from is even more anti Mormon than the first site you posted. It starts lying about our church in the third sentence when it says "to become a "God" the worthy male (NOT females) must first live as a "mortal" on earth." I am not going to read the whole site, because from that line I already know it is another BS anti-Mormon site.
Aknowledgement of what? None of you have provided anything except "Oh, how could Joe Smith know this and that?".
Puhleez.
You obviously didn\'t read that whole site. :rolleyes: You are not interested in how true LDS church is, you are only interested in bashing it.
