1 Corinthians 15:29---King James Version (KJV)
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
Hi David:

What do you find as perverted about the above scriptures? That seems like the usual retort of those whenever scriptures are posted which does not fit their theology.

David--those scriptures fit the LDS theology just fine. They have an answer for how they fit into Christianity, and the Biblical text. How do you fit them into your theology?

The SCRIPTURES THEMSELVES are not perverted (ONLY THE BIBLE is real SCRIPTURE, your mormon fairytale writings are not from God), but it is your PERVERTED ATTEMPTS TO TEACH them that is perverted.

For instance, you might pretend that ONLY CHRISTIANS WHO DO your manmade temple duties, send enough $$$ to your church, do enough 'home teaching' etc etc etc will be with God when they die, or that if they DO ENOUGH they will become gods themselves. . .THAT IS SIMPLY A LIE.

Your 2nd p***age YOU PRESENT AS REASON FOR YOU to baptize for the dead, IGNORING THE FACT that Paul is talking about UNBELIEVERS who were practicing that, NOT CHRISTIANS. In the previous BIBLE paragraphs it shows that those doing it DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION, did not believe Jesus was resurrected, thus were NOT CHRISTIANS AT ALL.

AND the p***age shows Paul referring to 'THEY' and NEVER 'we.'

Your religion lies to you, berry.
