👍👍👍 Thanks Lax, there are so many quotes showing what mormons deny, that I honestly couldn’t be bothered to look them all up, so thank you for your effort

You’re welcome!

I wonder why Mormons don’t know their own history and the quotes of their own prophets?

Whenever I have posted Brigham Young’s quotes here on CAF, the Mormon posters have accused me of using anti-Mormon sources. Now that is a hoot!

It is a psalm of a penitent, who is petitioning God teach him, love him, purify him, be his saviour, show his favour and save him, he is in fact pleading for a work of grace…forgiveness. We must always trust in God’s mercy, if he turns his face way from us then what hope have we, but we know he doesn’t, as demonstrated by the sacrifice of our Lord. Read also Psalm 32. God will deal with us all mercifully, and justly, we have to trust him.

This something that isn’t taught in LDS “theology”, according to LDS teaching forgiveness is provisional beyond repentance and not given at all even to the repentant (as seen in this instance with David) in some cases. A far cry from Christian belief that Christ’s sacrifice is for all and the repentant will be forgiven.

No one knows what happened to David after his death, that is God’s business alone despite the rantings of bogus prophets
One thing is true, David sinned, he was responsible for a man’s death for which he lost a son by Bathsheba, they were punished, 2 Sam 12: 13-14, and Nathan the prophet told him that he was forgiven…
David for all his weaknesses was chosen by God and he had confidence in God’s mercy and forgiveness, read Psalm 51, it is so beautiful. David acknowledges his birth in sin. He acknowledges and begs God to cleanse him of his guilt, he begs God to create in him anew heart, begs Him not to deprive him of his holy spirit, and realises that God requires a sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit above all sacrifices. It is a psalm of a penitent, who is petitioning God teach him, love him, purify him, be his saviour, show his favour and save him, he is in fact pleading for a work of grace…forgiveness. We must always trust in God’s mercy, if he turns his face way from us then what hope have we, but we know he doesn’t, as demonstrated by the sacrifice of our Lord. Read also Psalm 32.

See post 282

David is honoured by the Church as a saint. He is mentioned in the Roman Martyrology on 29 December.

The LDS teaching is based on the teaching that a murderer cannot achieve salvation. Which is based on an idea that the sin of murder cannot be atoned for. This is in opposition to Jesus Christ, who has atoned for ALL our sins, including those committed by the most hardened criminal.

As has been pointed out, David was sorrowful and repentant. God promised to David that his line would produce a King for ever, which is found in Jesus Christ, who is a son of David. David, being the “father” of the Messiah, was chosen by God as a “man after his own heart”, and is understood to know God’s mercy and forgiveness.

Yes all this applies to orthodox Christianity. But remember, the Mormon Jesus is weak and simply could not get it done.

Sometimes, they don’t understand the Trinity. I thought about being a Jehovah’s Witness once because I didn’t understand the Trinity. But, when I finally did understand it, I decided to not convert to it.

God Bless. :highprayer:
