Why does everyone always assume you're "bashing" beliefs when your critically question them?
I would agree with you BenRaines, but lets remember the Lord's anger is righteous. Joseph Smith is not the Lord God when I last checked.
This goes along the lines of the ridiculous notion that God loves everybody. I agree with you, He does hate.
"Jacob I have loved, Esau have I hated..."
"For God so loved the world,
that whosever believeth in Him,
shall not perish but have everlasting life..."
God became a man 2,000 years ago so that he could save the lost -- not uphold those who already think they're righteous.
Quote:
You might get to know your scriptures a tad better before before engaging in Biblical apologetics. Stephen was martyred after, Jesus ascended into heaven. But forget Stephen...
Saul (Paul) had Jesus actually come to him, a few years after Jesus ascended into heaven. Likewise, John the Revelator had the Savior appear to him and reveal the visions that compromise the Book of Revelation. I think you Pastor sent you out to soon, go back and study, and then return.

I'm aware of all those, what's your contention here? Where is Stephen in the Bible -- that's the only thing I'm not clear on here...
