It all depends on how you look at it and who you are looking at it.
"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another." (Titus 3:3)
You sound like you're anti-fundie.
A person has to be changed. A person must be born again. Someone who has been born again doesn't just go on serving Satan. The devils also believe and they tremble.
If angels don't have the same power as the Holy Spirit, then it is not "the same way Mary was impregnated with Jesus." And since the Holy Spirit is not the Father of Jesus, the fallen angels would not be the fathers of men. So Satan couldn't be the father of Cain.
How are men who haven't been...
Really? Everyone is guaranteed eternal life with Heavenly Father just because they accepted Christ? They are born again based on that? So are you disagreeing with the LDS third Article of Faith and what is taught in your auxillary classes?
"WE BELIEVE that through the Atonement of Christ, all...
For starters, Mary was with child by the power of God. Do you believe that the Holy Spirit is an angel? Do you believe that fallen angels have the power of God?
Do you believe that God killed hybrid races with a flood but allowed Satan's offspring to survive the flood? I'm not following you.
I didn't say that your doctrine did. I said that white supremicists love the serpent seed doctrine. I can't speak for all white supremicists nor can I say that you are one. You misunderstood or misread my post.
Adam is his father. The Bible says so.
Did you even read rakhel's post? My...
Are you talking about the early Church not having a chance?
The Book of Mormon says:
11 Yea, they have all gone out of the way; they have become corrupted.
12 Because of pride and because of false teachers, and false doctrine, their churches have become corrupted, and their churches are...
It's like this, councils or no councils, Joseph Smith claimed that God told him (concerning all the churches in existence in 1820):
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his...
Exactly. And British Israelists think they are true descendants of the Twelve Tribes while claiming that most Jews are Kentites (descendants of Satan). It makes me ill!
To not list all the descendants of a person in the genealogy does not mean that those other children don't exist (See Genesis 5:4).
The probablity of that is almost nil. But Satan did not "know" Eve in an intimate way, therefore, there is no possibilty.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she...
Most of the non-LDS who are posting to this thread don't appear to have read the BoM and I don't know how they can make a comparison. But without including the views of the atonement and of the nature of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as expressed in the Doctrine and Covenants, I think the...
Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; (Joshua 17:8)

The beginning of the damaged text reads:
...Jeremiah the Prophet before the Lord
[...w]ho were taken captive from the land of Jerusalem [Eretz Yerushalayim, column 1, line 2] (p. 58).
This is most likely a reference to the city of Jerusalem. The fragment states that the captain of the guard...

I have no idea what you are saying here.
Why would you believe that He was born in Bethlehem if your Book of Mormon says he was born in a land called Jerusalem?
Jerusalem was a city not a country.
Bethlehem is in the land of Juda (Matthew 2:6; cf. Luke 2:4)...
There is very little difference between what the Bible says about Christ and what the Book of Mormon says; there are differences in LDS teachings and biblical teachings about Jesus and the atonement. However, the birthplace of Jesus is not the same in the BoM and Bible.
And behold, he shall be...
