but the Protestant reformation was more of a tipping point

although you could accuse certain catholic practices as being immoral, catholic dogma was never wrong

to any major degree at least

us and the roman catholics disagree on very few things

the idea of purgatory, is very unbiblical

which is a big teaching in the Catholic church

yeah we skip that one

In brief: 200 years ago (during the second Great Awakening) a young boy by the name of Joseph Smith Junior was reading the Bible when he came across James 1:5
the next day he went out to the woods near his home in upstate New York, to pray. Soon he was visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ, whom proceeded to expound upon him the narrative that No Church Was True. . .
Later on, he was visited by the angel Moroni who showed him the record of his people, aka the plates of brass.

also if you would be so kindly to refresh me on the Mormon view of marriage?

One moment please and I'll fetch the official proclamation...

they sometimes have polygamy and sometimes don't

their dogma changes

okay

they still have prophets

ok so it does allow polygamy

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/the-family-a-proclamation-to-the-world/the-family-a-proclamation-to-the-world

I guess that is another thing I don't agree with

O discord is lagging alot rn

ok now its fine

ok anyway

The church sanctioned polygamy in it's early years, yes. From about 1830s to 1880 when Utah became a state. In other words, it's less than half our history and not even all that impressive when you look at other things we've done, so people are silly to keep beating that dead horse.

so you do not still condone it correct?

I'm not talking about the church I am talking about you individually

@Draško yes. We still are guided by prophets, seers, revelators, apostles and other dignified leadership positions. We're a well oiled machine.

@moira sh*t. I'm still trying to get things right so I can have ONE woman.
So yeah, I'm not personally keen on pleural marriages.

wait hold on let me check something

Revelations 22:18–19

Hey @lemiwinks , I've got people asking questions. 😁

" warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll."

I believe this goes against the adding of the written works of Joseph Smith to the Bible

@moira oy ve. Yeah. That's silly

how so

wait I guess I am confused to what you are calling silly

A simple look at the chronological order of when the different books of the were written then later organized dispels that condition almost immediately.

mormons are batshit insane, you have to just roll with it

they'd be much better off if they functioned more like Jehovah's Witnesses

@Draško ha no

at least those guys aren't allowed to look at other sects

idk how these guys cope with the inconsistencies

all of the books in the NT were written by someone who was around when Jesus was alive and was a first hand witness, or by someone who ahs been guided by said witness

Joseph Smith was neither
