Ernest Somar's the Runaway Critics - Part 1 Polygamy
Here's one of our friendly Neighborhoods that wants to play some old school game. Not a game, but here he opens up some oldies that he thinks are goodies. So I told him that I'd write an article about it, and let him have his counter comments if he has.
He thinks this is a new thing that wasn't explored by any LDS and he thinks it couldn't be debunked. So here let's dive into Ernest Somar. And as I have said be sure you have credibility in a discussion rather than bubbling with your childish mouth.
As the video title says 10 things the Mormons hide. Was it hidden? Then why was it kept in the church archive? Just a thought something that makes it more misleading. But of course, Ernest Somar needs an article about it, so let's give him a try -
1 Polygamy -
First on the list, Polygamy as always and most critics love digging up, and was still an issue even if it wasn't practiced nowadays. So was it hidden, has the history been erased for the sake of Mormonism? Nope, it wasn't even hidden and in fact, there's a full website that collects the entire information about it here what I meant https://josephsmithspolygamy.org again, was it hidden? I don't think so. The website shows a detailed history of how it all began and how the saints during those times accepted and declined the call. Even in those times, they don't understand why it was revealed through Joseph Smith.
And for Helen Mar Kimball you can check out her book titled A Widow's Tale: 1884-1896 Diary of Helen Mar Kimball Whitney where she made her entire life story and defense of Polygamy. You can check out and download the PDF version to read it for yourself. Now Tell me Ernes Somar, do you have anything new about it? If Joseph Smith was a sexual predator or molested a child, then how come they have to protect him?
Joseph Smiths' Polygamy was never about sex as your green understanding Ernest Somar, rather it was all about eternal marriage. See the difference? It's not about sex, but rather an eternal bond. Too bad you don't have that kind of ordinance in your current church, everything you know about marriage was just sex.
From Saints unscripted titled "Joseph Smith married a 14-year-old??? Ep. 108"
Notes:
Other Link Presentation
Other video Presentation
Conclusion: As we go on through the text over some sources, it is clear that Joseph Smith's plural marriage intention is plainly for eternal purposes and it's not all about sexual impurities or perverting the Biblical sense of marriage. such as the prophets of old that were chosen to have wives and concubines, joseph Smith restores the same principle and yet in the highest order.
Mulek, Son of the King
New Information about Mulek, Son of the King
- Robert F. Smith
Mosiah 25:2 “There were not so many of the children of Nephi, or so many of those who were descendants of Nephi, as there were of the people of Zarahemla, who was a descendant of Mulek.”

Facebook is Suspending Me For Something I Don't Even Know
Facebook suspended my account in Marketplace. I don't even know when I sold something suspicious.
Family History Program: Bulawen Saints
Pictures Collected during the actual activity.
Bulawen Branch has a few saints in the entire IBA Philippines Stake. But here they gave the very best numbers supporting the Lord’s work beyond the veil. They're dominating in support so far as the past Sundays in the other wards. Most Group Leaders were there to support the work; Clerk, Young Women, Relief Society, with Elder's Quorum President and the Counselor assigned.
Persistent Missionaries
This kinda funny but yes, missionaries were persistent for the sake of salvation.
 |
| Exactly Persistent |
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
My Schedule
This was the schedule assign for me. It's kinda fun and exiting, and of course I need to be prepare for a topic in the entire week.

| Im teaching New Testament 2 for remote class Every Saturday 7:00 - 8:30 |
The Principle of OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved)
Some post that I saw which actually made me think.
I wonder how are they gonna apply this few verses using that comical example -
Proverbs 28:18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
Jeremiah 4:14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Matthew 10:22, 24:13; (Mark 13:13) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 19:23 (Mark 10:26; Luke 18:26) ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

| Just a post I found in one of the group. I didn't enclude the entire post. |
- Seriously, why does it even became a doctrine?
- Is salvation Free or Cheap?
- If me or everyone else were save through Christ Grace, then what are we still debating for?
- Was Faith has categories that one can be defined as saved?
Delegation Meme
Bishop can relate this -
Bishop, patient is the Key. Of course they still sustain you.
More of this topic is in this post -
Tiny Bible
This tiny Bible was found by my son somewhere in beach side where he tries to get some tiny fisher for a pet although he doesn't know how to take care a sea creatures, still he wanted to have some of it and explore other creatures he never meet.
Journal Entry - November 6, 2023
Woke up early for work and a Hospital Checkup for my daughter and wife. Their immune system seems like it is dropping as they feel it. My daughter had flu, but my wife decided to have both with my son Jasher.
Will, there's nothing much actually here but some Journal Entry about their visit to Saint Pios Medical Center.
Anyways, here are some of their pictures.
Family History Program: Liozon Ward
While the schedule for Family History Program is in Liozon Ward. We decided to go directly to the ward and attend their Sacrament Program. Sad to say, I was here alone. My wife has a flue with our kids, so I left no choice but to go their alone.
By the Rivers of Babylon
I heard this song and seems like the beat was kinda fun. Without noticing the lyrics, you won't believe how this was actually sad during the Babylonian Captivity or exile.
Stake Primary Activity: Naruto Cosplay
It's actually a Stake Primary Costume party and they're doing the Naruto Costume. They don't have a perfect cosplay, but it's worth the best.
Neil Andi Anderson: Nice Try on Roman 16:16
This is one of Neil Andi Anderson's escape plans. I thought this would be the best time to make a good call for him in a formal 1on1 discussion, but he never realized I knew how it all went. So, I'm right Neil Andi Anderson that you fail to understand the scriptures. Here's our supposed topic (Hebrews 5:4) but you're trying to shift it not knowing it's the weakest.
Now here are his Collections of verses to support his ideology, without knowing each context. see for yourself -
The last part of the video was actually a question to him and his ideology about the "True Church = name of the church". So, I added a question in 1 Timothy 3:15
 |
| His Magnum Opus, thinking it could break the Camel's back. Nice try! |
Now here are his Collections of verses to support his ideology, without knowing each context. see for yourself -
 |
| Was it really the context of the Scriptures? |
Here is the list in this order, and following the verses were my remarks about it. Let's see if we can make a good Commentary about its context -
Matthew 16:18 (NIV) - And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Yup, Christ calling on Peter showing him how he will build his church. So no!, that's Irrelevant to the issue. Every church on either side could use the same passage as their standard teachings. Everyone can use the same quote but not related to the church name issue.
Ephesians 4:4 (NIV)- There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
Paul is calling everyone to Be one as the one body united with one spirit. So we are to be one with hope in Christ.
Christ is the Head of the Church and no question about it since he is the author of everything including our faith.Colossians 1:18 (NIV) - And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Roman 12:4-5 (ESV) - For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Like the body, we are all members of one Church which is led by Christ and we do have different functions like the body as well.
Ephesians 5:30 (BSB) - For we are members of His body.
"The same principle applies to the prior verse."
1 Corinthians 12:27 (NKJV) - Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
"The same principle applies to the prior verse."
This has nothing to do with the subject at all rather it simply explains our unity and purpose as a member of Christ's Church, everyone can carry the same principles that doesn't need further arguments. So what's with it concerning your said "Church of Christ" thing as the true church?
Below are the selected words from Neil Andi Anderson and his alibi -
 |
| I actually made a previous invitation via Zoom link and see if he can defend his claim. But he never showed up on time. So, I asked Job Bautista instead of him. |
 |
| Here he Attempts to clean up his missed and tells everyone that he shows up. To be fair, yes but he showed up but not in the Zoom link and he showed up late so I decided to close the meeting and ask him to set a schedule today. And so here's the result. |
 |
| He didn't use the link as said on the video so I decided to call him in Messenger. Still, he didn't respond to my call. |
 |
| And so the Alibi Goes. |
The last part of the video was actually a question to him and his ideology about the "True Church = name of the church". So, I added a question in 1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. - 1 Timothy 3:15
and Ask him if this was also the true church Paul had said? (See the last few words in the video)
In Conclusion, as I presented in the video. Paul is simply stating the church was a body organized by faithful believers and it's never said it was true just because of how it was called or its name. Christ and Paul never said the true church should be named by a specific name, whereas the true church is followers of Christ that unite in doing the will of the Father.
