Does this sound like something the mouthpiece of God would say or something written by Chat GPT?

“We are devastated by the recent eruption of violence and loss of life in the Middle East. Violence of this nature is abhorrent to us and is not in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is a gospel of peace. At such times, our hearts ache for all victims of this atrocity.

As servants of God, we affirm that He calls upon all of us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and we pray for a peaceful resolution of all conflicts.”

And all those people in the middle east are sinners and incapable of living to the mormons high standards.

The church has been okay with armies bombing their way round the world for years... but not all armies. Some armies are more equal than others.

This message expresses sympathy and concern, and is designed to offend no one. The faintly superior tone (..."not in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ"...) puts it over the top as a Mormon-crafted work. The PR person who wrote it totally has the church's number.

Yeah what those Jews and Muslims really need is smiley face white savior Mormon Jesus Smith and all their problems will be solved!

And it only took the better part of a week to sculpt that meaningless drivel. SMH

Right?
I mean not a word about God’s intentions?
No word from the big smiley faced guy upstairs about why he stood by and did nothing but smile while innocent children were mercilessly slaughtered?

Yeah, if you really believed in “loving your fellow man as yourself” you’d white out the blatant racism from the ‘Mormon Word of God”, unless the God you worship is a racist bigot.

1 Nephi 12:23 (prophecy of the Lamanites): “Became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations.”

1 Nephi 13:15 (Gentiles): “They were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people [Nephites] before they were slain.”

2 Nephi 5:21: “A sore cursing … as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.”

2 Nephi 30:6 (prophecy to the Lamanites if they repented): “Scales of darkness shall begin to fall … they shall be a white and delightsome people” (“white and delightsome” was changed to “pure and delightsome” in 1981).

Jacob 3:5 (Lamanites cursed): “Whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins.”

Jacob 3:8-9: “Their skins will be whiter than yours … revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins.”

Alma 3:6: “And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion.”

Alma 3:9: “Whosoever did mingle his seed with that of the Lamanites did bring the same curse upon his seed.”

Alma 3:14 (Lamanites cursed): “Set a mark on them that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed.”

Alma 23:18: “[Lamanites] did open a correspondence with them [Nephites] and the curse of God did no more follow them.”

3 Nephi 2:14-16: “Lamanites who had united with the Nephites were numbered among the Nephites; And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites and … became exceedingly fair.”

3 Nephi 19:25, 30 (Disciples): “They were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness … nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof … and behold they were white, even as Jesus.”

Mormon 5:15 (prophecy about the Lamanites): “For this people shall be scattered, and shall become a dark, a filthy, and a loathsome people, beyond the description of that which ever hath been amongst us.”

Pearl of Great Price

Moses 7:8: “A blackness came upon all the children of Canaan.”

Moses 7:12: “Enoch continued to call upon all the people, save it were [i.e., except] the people of Canaan, to repent.”

Moses 7:22: “For the seed of Cain were black and had not place among them.”

The Timpanogos tribe was Brigham Young's Palestinians.

But the Lord told the House of Israel to wipe out the people in the holy land and take it over. They are just following the Lord’s instructions. They might be a few thousand years late but they are getting it done.

How about giving the West Bank back to Jordan and Gaza back to Egypt and calling it even?

Or let Israel use our weapons to wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth, then their backers, before they get nukes.

If it's the Lord's work, why all the fuss?

<<not in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ>>

Has anyone explained to the author that the majority of Palestinians and Israelis are not Christians? I don't think the gospel of Jesus figures highly in their thinking.

"Violence of this nature is abhorrent to us"

Godly violence we can live with.

The victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre have entered the chat.

They could have said the same thing about Noah's flood.

Crisis after crisis, the "mouthpiece of God" never has anything significant to say (except to keep forking over tithing).

Despite the fact we have over $100billion in the bank we're saving for a big Welcome Home To Jesus party, you won't be invited unless you keep forking over 10% Gross, not net, income" thus saith the Lord.

A Western saying defines MFMC leadership.

All hat, no Cattle.

Sex of any nature other than the approved kind is abhorrent to the church.

What does sex have to do with mid East violence?

It's the sin second only to murder.

Ok, but I don’t see the connection to mid East violence

Calvinist principles are true in horror movies. The Middle East must be rife with extramarital sex.
