Mormonism o kilala bilang THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.., simbahang sa Diyos ba o sa Demonyo ?
Kilalanin natin...
--Ayon sa Information Almanac 1968, p.292, at sa isang artikulo sa Look Magazine na sinulat ni Mr. Richard L. Evans isang author/editor/broadcaster at kinikilala ng mga Mormons bilang isa sa kanilang 12 Apostle- ang mormonismo ay itinatag ni Joseph Smith sa La Fayette, Nueva York, USA noong 1830. At Ito ay kasalukuyang naka-base sa Salt Lake, Utah, USA.
Basically, she based On Almanac to get all the information she wanted not close enough to sustain her claim on information limited to general Audience. For example, the restoration of something that was lost or unknown to our knowledge, revelations, the priesthood authority, Gathering and so forth.
--Ayon kay Joseph Smith, sa isang pagkakataon ng kanyang buhay ay nagpakita sa kanya ang isang anghel na may pangalang Moroni at ipinagkaloob sa kanya ang isang gintong plaka na nakasulat ang walang hanggang ebanghelyo. Dagdag pa nila, ito daw ay sinulat ng isang propeta noong 420 AD na nagngangalang Mormon. At nang maisalin niya ito sa kanilang sariling wika ay ibinalik at kinuha uli ito ng anghel.
No question, as mention it was part of the restoration. There are thing God has reveal that are unknown to our understanding knowledge. I don't know how she define plaka which is disk or something versus Gold plates. Either way, no questions of some proven detail.
Hindi sa paninirang puri, ang orihinal na doktrina ng samahang ito ay PINAPAYAGAN ANG PAG-AASAWA NG MARAMI o yung tinatawag na POLYGAMY. Ito'y ayon na rin sa kanilang opisyal na aklat na may titulong THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS, section 132: 4,6,19,26,27,41 at 42.
I don't know what she's up to, Polygamy was part of restoration actually. Using the term Pinapayagan seems awkward in Original Teachings. Here's the complete Text of Doctrine and Covenant Section 132, below are the said verses see for you self -
4 For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory.
6 And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God.
19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever.
26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man marry a wife according to my word, and they are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, according to mine appointment, and he or she shall commit any sin or transgression of the new and everlasting covenant whatever, and all manner of blasphemies, and if they commit no murder wherein they shed innocent blood, yet they shall come forth in the first resurrection, and enter into their exaltation; but they shall be destroyed in the flesh, and shall be delivered unto the buffetings of Satan unto the day of redemption, saith the Lord God.
41 And as ye have asked concerning adultery, verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man receiveth a wife in the new and everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy anointing, she hath committed adultery and shall be destroyed.
42 If she be not in the new and everlasting covenant, and she be with another man, she has committed adultery.
If she quoting the right thing, then possibly she could easily see somethings are missing. But I believe she didn't read the whole thing and understands it, rather pick up something which seem to be critical on her side. Here's some of the thing everyone should know about and please refer it to full section of Doctrine and Covenant 132 to examine it for yourself.
15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world.
18 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that covenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.
Second, The Lord allows it. Even in the former times the Lord made it known to Prophets whom He calls, and the people who made such promise where married under the covenant. If it is not under the covenant they will be punished. Which means Polygamy is not an issue if the Lord permits it. But it is true that this things is so awkward in our days, that even LDS cease its practice as the Lord directed the Church now a days.
Just take note on the Bold letter. In former times like David the Lord allows him to marry inside the covenant, the only thing the Lord hate about David's act was his desire for adultery and that's a different case.
38 David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me.
39 David’s wives and concubines were given unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the keys of this power; and in none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I gave them unto another, saith the Lord.
--Ang kanilang tagapagtatag na si Joseph Smith ay nagkaroon ng 28 asawa. At dahil sa polygamy naging laganap ang awayan ng mga pamilya at siya ay pinatay sa Carthage-3 noong 1884. Matapos ang kanyang malagim na kamatayan ay humalili sa kanya si Brigham Young- na matakaw din sa babae. Nagkaroon ng 27 asawa, 57 anak at 4000 na mga apo.
I couldn't see where she's referring to. I couldn't see such record that says about Joseph's Family quarrels about the said Polygamy matter, and Joseph was murdered with his brother (who is not a polygamist) and it wasn't the issue. Not even the History of Mormonism. I don't know how accurate her words about it since she don't have any source that we could check. But anyway, Polygamy is not an issue even in those times, it was not an issue of the church at all it was only stop because we obey and honor the law and we also believe in continues revelation. So, God commanded it to be stop, No question. I posted a video about this matter regarding Joseph's Polygamy issue. Check it out to learn more. Click here
--Hindi naglaon, nabahala ang estado ng Amerika sa umiiral na Poligamiya sa relihiyong ito. Ipinatigil ng 1887 Congress of America at Federal Authorities ang ganitong gawain. At ganap lamang itong nahinto noong 1890.
It has been said. We sustain and Honor the law of the land, of course if it conflicts against the law of the land, what else needs to be done? God would not allow the People to plant hatred and war and He will not allow His Kingdom to be taken away by just disobeying the Law of the Land. For a complete reference see the Official Declaration 1 about it.
--Sa kanilang doktrina, ang "Diyos Ama" ay isang tao na kailangang magkaroon ng maraming anak sa ibat-ibang babae. Ito po'y taliwas sa itinuturo ng Bible.
Basically, we don't believe that God is immaterial, we Believe that God is the same as we are since we are created in His own Image Male and Female. Christ once said -
John 5
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
The text you'd just seen was just a simple explanation that the father has His passed experience, we couldn't tell when, where or how. As the scripture clearly state that there are already heaven of heavens that were created, and what record that can help us learn about the creation of former heavens. We have nothing and we can't comprehend it. I personally don't believe that after we die we just go back to our father and just stay there sitting for eternity. There is room for improvement and God is our Father who loves and plan for his children to become like Him.
--Maging sa kanilang BOOK OF MORMONS makikita ang maraming pagkakamali ng isang matalinong nagsusuri. Isang halimbawa sa marami nilang maling aral ; Sa nabanggit na aklat ay mababasa na si Cristo ay ipinanganak sa Jerusalem. Ito po'y mali, sapagkat si Cristo ayon sa Bible ay isinilang sa Bethlehem. Ang Bethlehem ay hindi sakop ng Jerusalem !!! Milya-milya ang layo nito sa Jerusalem.
This is very classic, I always encounter this kind of poor criticism and I put article about it somewhere in this blog. You only need to analyze the words used (AT vs IN) in the verse, and take note, the author of the scripture who wrote it doesn't have any knowledge about Bethlehem the only thing he knew was the Land Jerusalem or the land of his Father. It will be more inaccurate if he put the right word unknown to his understanding. So basically, he mean the land of Jerusalem and not the exact City of Jerusalem.
Kailangan pa ba ng paliwanag??? Kayo nalang ang humusga. Sa Diyos ba o hindi?
Seriously, Where did you get your ideas?
Pax Christi !
