I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:40)
Anti-Mormon? The Mormon “Great Game”
“The usual name-calling has been going on, one favourite being “protesters,” which brought a smile to the faces of happy Christians peacefully engaging Mormons in conversation and handing out literature to passers-by. The inevitable, “anti-Mormon” label came out of course and I want to share some thoughts about that.”
THE ENEMY IS COMBINED. What an enraged and hypocritical article!!! In it's initial paragraphs as written above it starts by saying "a smile to the face of happy Christians." Don’t you believe it. If they think that we are tearing down their walls or demmoralizing their corrupt creeds, they are not happy. If they are engaging us directly instead of preaching some gospel for profit as most christians do, it is only because they are unhappy. Liars and their smile is one of self indulged hypocrisy. Why don’t they engage me? It is not the 1830s anymore and there are not only six of us.
Yea, I want to pitch to you...why don't you become useful and engage the sinners, the homosexuals, the corrupt politicians and their governments, the false priests who oppress, the wicked Presstitutes and pornography. Why don't you engage those who profess to love life and engage in aborion, againt the sorceries of most pharmaceuticals, against the usurers and the soothsayers or speculators, the astrologers, the idolatrous, the thief, the adulterers, the affeminate, the drunkards and even those who oppress the alien or strangers, the widown and the fatherless and defraud the day workers of their wages? In sum why don't you engage in a vaine conversation or a sign seeking interview all those who belong to the great and abominable church of the devil, even the whore of the earht of which the Bible and the Book of Mormon talks about? You have better chanced to progress in that enterprise than to attacking the work of GOD and suffer his wrath upon you. And as the LORD said to Saul, it is a hard things for you, filthy preachers of corruption and deceit, to kick against the pricks. NO filthy hand will stopt the work of GOD.
"Thus saith the LORD: Who is my adversary, let him come near to me, and I will smite him with the rod of my mouth."
I Miguel Arcangel think the devil is mad, really mad at us because he knows that he has but a short time; and his followers fear and tremble and are restless and unhappy because the truth of GOD pierces them to the very center. But the truth or the word of GOD which is the sword of the Holy Ghost only hurts the wicked soul. marvel not!!! Who did you spect to see? A french model in toga with blue eyes and curly golden hair in sandals and riding a white horse or a sombody entrenched in a suit with a stiff neck like the common preachers? It is I that speak.

AND now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear. And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center. And now my brethren, if ye were righteous and were willing to hearken to the truth, and give heed unto it, that ye might walk uprightly before God, then ye would not murmur because of the truth, and say: Thou speakest hard things against us.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 16:1 - 3)
Nonetheless, MIKETEA, I love it, what you have said in your article it mostly true. I say mostly true because you conveniently omitted or skipped some of the most substantial scriptures or verses you quoted from the book of Mormon. Nevertheless, I love it, some truth is better than no truth at all. I could have not said it better than you. Only the work of GOD can drive men mad against his only true church and work. The mere object of your opposition to our church and work is a self evident testament that we are right and you are wrong, that we are engaged in something big and that you are engaged in something small, that we walk the talks and that you oly talk.
But that is not all, pal. It is also written about us, and you will love this, for it is provocative. yea, you have read it. That the stone that rolls from the mountain of which Daniel spoke or our truths will fill the whole earth and break in peaces and consume all the other kingdoms of the world. Or in other prophetic terms, you know that it is also written that the stone that the builders rejected is the corner stone, and whomsoever fall upon this stone will be crushed into pieces and onto whatsoever this stone falls will be grinded unto powder. In other words, still, we are Israel and we are here to trash the nations with the power of GOD, his spirit and his royal priesthood which you continually deny that is needful in this day and age. And because you have and will continue to contend against the word of GOD you are accursed for the LORD has spoken it. But if you repent you will be saved and if you do not, you won’t. The vey moment you die, you will meet your awful fate. The scriptures reaffirm of not all most of my words for in them it is written:
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
(Old Testament | Daniel 2:35)
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
(Old Testament | Daniel 2:44)
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
(New Testament | Luke 20:17 - 19)
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 28:16)
And now I, Jacob, am led on by the Spirit unto prophesying; for I perceive by the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that by the stumbling of the Jews they will reject the stone upon which they might build and have safe foundation. But behold, according to the scriptures, this stone shall become the great, and the last, and the only sure foundation, upon which the Jews can build. And now, my beloved, how is it possible that these, after having rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it, that it may become the head of their corner? Behold, my beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto you; if I do not, by any means, get shaken from my firmness in the Spirit, and stumble because of my over anxiety for you.
(Book of Mormon | Jacob 4:15 - 18)
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
(New Testament | 1 Peter 2:6 - 9)
And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation.
Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit; And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them.
And the poor and the meek shall have the gospel preached unto them, and they shall be looking forth for the time of my coming, for it is nigh at hand— And they shall learn the parable of the fig–tree, for even now already summer is nigh.
And I have sent forth the fulness of my gospel by the hand of my servant Joseph; and in weakness have I blessed him; And I have given unto him the keys of the mystery of those things which have been sealed, even things which were from the foundation of the world, and the things which shall come from this time until the time of my coming, if he abide in me, and if not, another will I plant in his stead.
Wherefore, watch over him that his faith fail not, and it shall be given by the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, that knoweth all things. And a commandment I give unto thee—that thou shalt write for him; and the scriptures shall be given, even as they are in mine own bosom, to the salvation of mine own elect; For they will hear my voice, and shall see me, and shall not be asleep, and shall abide the day of my coming; for they shall be purified, even as I am pure.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 35:12 - 21)
And he that will contend against the word of the Lord, let him be accursed; and he that shall deny these things, let him be accursed; for unto them will I show no greater things, saith Jesus Christ; for I am he who speaketh.
And at my command the heavens are opened and are shut; and at my word the earth shall shake; and at my command the inhabitants thereof shall pass away, even so as by fire. And he that believeth not my words believeth not my disciples; and if it so be that I do not speak, judge ye; for ye shall know that it is I that speaketh, at the last day.
But he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For because of my Spirit he shall know that these things are true; for it persuadeth men to do good. And whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good is of me; for good cometh of none save it be of me. I am the same that leadeth men to all good; he that will not believe my words will not believe me—that I am; and he that will not believe me will not believe the Father who sent me. For behold, I am the Father, I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world.
And the Lord is near, and he justifieth me. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is mine adversary? Let him come near me, and I will smite him with the strength of my mouth. For the Lord God will help me. And all they who shall condemn me, behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, and the moth shall eat them up.
Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?
Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 7:8 - 11)
O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker.
I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:40)
The truth is self evident. Anyone that identifies himself or herself as an anti-Mormon, ex Mormon or contra Mormon, is no different than an anti-Christ, ex Christian or Contra Christ, or even ANTI-SEMITE, which is worst than merely being faithless. As the Jews, our bretheren are persecuted politically for thei intellectual and cultural excellence, we the seed of Joseph are persecuted religiously for our core beliefs, for our abundant life and for our divine expectations as children of the living GOD. For the words of the living Christ in the Bible, in the Book of Mormon, in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants and in the Pearl of Great Price we preach, write, sing and teach about unceasingly; which is more than just saying nice things about Jesus like most so called Christians do today with their own precepts and commandments. The cross is meaning less to us because we believe in the ressurrected Christ and not in the dead one for that is the way you perceive him. And you want him far awat and not near. Because if he is a God of near as he is to us, you are dead meat destined to the dunghill.
Indeed, Booby Gilpin, Miketea, friends and companions, with your lips your are honoring God, but your hearts are far away from him,, for you teach fo rdoctrines your own reasining and learning, even the precepts and commandments of men. As the prophets say, having form of godliness but denying the power thereof. And this is why all your hypocritical creeds are an abomination unto the LORD for he has spoken it as a result of adulterated traces of truth that you possess. And last but not least, you referenced the Book of Mormon, but you forgot or conveniently omitted the very verses that manifest the tender mercies of GOD towards you all; and the precious covenants that he has made with the house of Israel in whom all the families of the earth will be blessed. And that by our scourging, particularly by a great and powerful gentile nation that the LORD would raise in the American Continent he would bring some form of salvation unto us. And that great and powerful gentile nation is THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the cream of the crop of the generation of all gentiles living in the world today. Of course, you are Englishmen and this offends you for you see the preference of the LORD towards some of the gentile Americans and others that came from your part of the world escaping the opression of your corrupt kings. You also forsaked or forsook to say or mention that because of the disobedience of the children of Israel, the LORD chastised them, even a great many of my fathers severely, this is so that he can show up his power unto you all. Because thru you as an instrument, he would bring great deliverance un to us, oh, House of Israel. How conveniently you forgot the LOVE of GOD towards your gentile comrades Miketea? Which indeed is a great blessing to all gentiles to set them as a standard bearers to the children of Israel in a way that you would, pending you would do the right thing, be able to do what we could not do because of our disobedience and rebellion. And in that condition you would be greatly blessed. Unfortunately, those blessing will never reach you because you are contending against the work of God and he resists the rebellious.
Now, you also conveniently omitted the very words spoken by God when you quoted or referenced the Scriptures, even the one that speak about the evil deeds of the great abominable church or the whore of all the earth that is keeping your minds in gross darkness and in captivity of the devil. And where the LORD specifically says that the gentiles will be blessed or be well with them if they REPENT or DESROYED if they do not of if they harden their hearts against the word of GOD. And more importantly, MIKETEA, you forgot to mention from our scriptures that the POWER OF GOD would descent upon the children of Israel and the SAINTS OF GOD in great glory, even unto their deliverance according to the covenant that the LORD made with our father’s even Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And the reason you conveniently forgot to mention these specific scriptures because it has historical implications. IT mentions the great defeat of the mother countries of the gentiles who fought during the American revolutionary wars from Canada to Patagonia.
But I will do justice to your article, MIKETEA, you filthy gentile, and expose the truth of those scriptures that you conveniently forsook to mention for you and all the gentiles so that you know that we do not fear what we preach and that not all the gentiles will be destroyed. And better yet, if they will do what is right, it is going to be well with them. No wonder the puritans and pilgrims left your filthy habitation, you corrupt, you pollution, you pervert, for your corruption is severe, you are the sick man of all European Christianity. Hence the word of the LORD, for the angel continued saying:
And after these plain and precious things were taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles; and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity, thou seest—because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book, which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God—because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb, an exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.
Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles who have gone forth out of captivity, and have been lifted up by the power of God above all other nations, upon the face of the land which is choice above all other lands, which is the land that the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father that his seed should have for the land of their inheritance; wherefore, thou seest that the Lord God will not suffer that the Gentiles will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed, which are among thy brethren. Neither will he suffer that the Gentiles shall destroy the seed of thy brethren. Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain in that awful state of blindness, which thou beholdest they are in, because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church, whose formation thou hast seen.
Wherefore saith the Lamb of God: I will be merciful unto the Gentiles, unto the visiting of the remnant of the house of Israel in great judgment.
And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: Behold, saith the Lamb of God, after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel—and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father—wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment, and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles, and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly, because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church, which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb—I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day, insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power, much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 13:29 - 34)
And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying:
Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with them; and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto the house of Israel; and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.
Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.
For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he said unto me: Rememberest thou the covenants of the Father unto the house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.
And it came to pass that he said unto me:
Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.
And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth. And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God. And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory. And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:5 - 15)
These things are true and faithful, and I excuse not myself, but say them and declare them boldly and nobly, for a purpose that is only known unto God and whose wisdom remains with him, and I do it, even as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
