Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
That post had nothing to do with Jews.
Linking a post about the Mormon religion with Jewish folks makes no sense.
The post has to do with a religion you feel is not Christian and whose members shall not be allowed entry into Heavan.
Will other non Christians also be denied entry into Heaven?
Such as Jews in Isreal and around the world?

RIght?
Now, regarding your statement "It is clear we only get one life, no reincarnation" we do get eternal life after some degree of rigamarole. Isn't that Jesus' promise?
Antecedent to that we get one life, but there's actually not a lot of discussion on that matter in the Bible ~ a few statements here and there ~ some threats ~ it's pretty barebones stuff and very consistent with Middle Eastern religions, if not older Indo-European religions (warriors die and go to the elysian fields, heros cross the byfrost bridge into eternal combat under the close watch of the gods, that sort of thing with the Greeks and Persians).
Jesus told the thief "You are in Paradise this very day". Hmm. Elsewhere John of Revelation tells us all about that ~ dead in the earth waiting ~ no instant trip to Paradise.
Irritable? Nope. Just pointing out the facts, ma’am. Go bait someone else. I won’t be your huckleberry.
Why are you copying me? I ceased posting a long time ago.
I do see a lot of vile hateful comments which continue to be posted.
Sorry. I did see you upthread. If you stopped, and you have, good on you.
I’m your huckleberry. That’s JUST my game.
In my opinion Romney is a politicians politician. As such he will follow the wind to get what his major supporters want. The key is to find an angle on him and get the right people in the Cabinet.
Again: I know you to be a good and mature man. Lead by example. Swallow some garbage comments, and let it go — and don’t be provoked on other threads
Maybe I should have pinged you to this post of mine too: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2880528/posts?page=61#61
Just some friendly advice FRiend. You’re not going to get very far here on FR with calls to censor religious criticism, even insult, trust me on that. (again, even I disagree with such a request, as much as I’d like to see it personally, I do recognize such sentiments only eventually threaten my ability to express opinion. )
It’s just going to give you frustration. Let me also repeat as I said elsewhere, “You’ll never be able to get the last word on the bigots here, NEVER.”. Proof of that is the evident ignorance of what religious bigotry is, on the part of some.
Just take “comfort” in the fact it’s always the same group of people fueling the majority of the religious friction around here. You surely have better use for your time than giving attention to the same group of unreasonably intolerant people, don’t you?

You can see why it's not appended to Christianity but instead the most that has been done is to tie it into Hindu views ~ which themselves are tied into some more ancient views involving, lo and behold, Noah, and quite possibly the more modern Jonah (a contemporary with Buddha).
Pure Land does have its Christian element ~ and that might be much more overt than is generally recognized.
Now, for the big time. The Jains teach ahemsa. I can point to a number of Christian saints who not only taught ahemsa they made claims of 20 brothers, wore a single cloth as a garment, slept outside on the ground and ate only food donated to them by others.
Which really raises some great questions about the transport of religious concepts from one end of the Earth to the other in ancient times.
I rather admire the bravery of those medieval Jains. Imagine walking to Europe to pass on a correct point of view only to find them all too willing to accept you as a Christian holy man and give you high honors. Must have been startling.
I don't think that sounds too realistic, and frankly kind of like the fantasy "draft Palin" nonsense I've seen.
It's dramatic but I can't see it happening.
Humble, if our side has lost the will to do 'dramatic' things in the defense of everything we hold dear, then we have already stood down, and have surrendered our country to the Commies.
I refuse to believe that we've surrendered yet.
I and others are issuing a Call To Arms. It's my hope that a million patriots will answer it, and appear at the convention in Tampa to stop this travesty.
Two million people marching won’t result in much. You have to threaten their power base in order to get their attention.
They don’t pay much attention to the peasants.
I’m hoping, in the future, the Wikipedia entry for “Circular Firing Squad” doesn’t include a link to Free Republic.
Thank you Mr. Jim....for not taking the easiest path, though you could have.
..."It always looks so easy to solve problems by taking the path of least resistance. What looks like the easy road turns out to be The Hardest and Most Cruel".....

This ain't insane. This (pulls out Laz's brain) is INSANE.
Reincarnation is not eternal life in the sense Jesus or any Christian talks about their resurrection. We do not come back as a different person living a separate life from the past person we were.
There's been a demographic change ~ folks who think abortion is perfectly acceptable had a precipitous decline in their reproductive rates (which always happens when you kill your young ones).
The remaining folks had always had a higher birth rate since (and if you don't kill your young ones, that'll always happen)
We discussed that phenomenon many times. In fact the currently historically high rate of out of wedlock births may also be attributed to this change ~ in that people who like babies probably aren't all that worried about marriage as we might otherwise imagine.
This same demographic change is reflected in a major change in public opinion regarding abortion. We now have many fewer people who support it and a far greater number who oppose it.
Leftwingtard ranks are also declining and the population is, in general, over decades, becoming far more Conservative.
The abortionists did this ~ they killed their heirs. In the end we will dispose of them as well.
But I don't need to answer it, do I, NLZ? You're not stupid. You're not ignorant of Christian beliefs. You're playing games. But you're going to have to play them alone.
We need to force them to choose an honest conservative
Who would that be specifically?
You want to know about "different person", there it is.
Except you'd probably consider it close to studying witchcraft I"d recommend you just read through the general beliefs about reincarnation among hindus (for example, they're big on this and have some very complex discussions of the matter) and reflect on what Christianity really tells you about RESURRECTION.
Both you and your Mom left Mormansism? Now you sit around laughing with sanctimonious superiority at those who don’t share your hate for the faith?
You are caught up in contemporary labels.
Messianic Jews are believers in Christ as Messiah (Savior).
Christians are believers in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord as well.
They are both believers in Christ. Believers in Christ will be in heaven on account of their belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Messianic Jews are still believers - they still follow Jewish worship service rituals, not any Christian denominational worship services. Some are the same, some holidays are the same, both sing, read from parts of the bible.
What is your specific hangup here?
You think I'm talking about the same kind of Tea Party rallies we've had before? Guess again. Time to step it up until we find the notch that causes them to step back.

This thread is a good example of why conservatives are losing around the world. Its extraordinarily easy to divide conservatives. Many times we’ll do it to ourselves but the lefties are always happy to sit back and watch.
People seem to forget that children who’ve never heard of conservative concepts will accept big govt as being the answer. Its a far easier sell than individual responsibility.
Especially with the way conservatives treat those who don’t walk lock step with the myriad of agendas out there.
Not that it matters, with a socialist winning in France their economy is sure to fail, taking Europes with it.
We’re screwed.
Anytime someone starts with “you think” I know to stop reading.
Well you know, I really appreciate what you have told me in this regard, and even though I have stated that I believe in reincarnation, I have also come across something recently that leads me to believe that one life may well indeed be the case.
It appears that I do not have the answer to this question at this time, and based upon my strong belief in Jesus Christ, I must seek that answer in the Bible, and so I will do that.
"We need to force them to choose an honest conservative"
Who would that be specifically?
We've got from now until August to sort that out amongst us. Personally, I'm good with Newt.
It was more of a question than anything, but fine. Shut me right off.
I read your last question again, I already answered this. I don’t know why you keep laboring on the point. There is no special reasons or rules for any group of people to get into heaven any other way than the one way open to ALL peoples.
And quite frankly, it’s the same reason the OT Jews who trusted in God’s promise to them He would send them a Savior, a kinsmen reedemer, a messiah. The Jews that believed God’s promise regarding His plans for their salvation were saved the same way we are today, they were just on the other side of the cross than we are.
I don’t wear glasses and I woldn’t put a hat on my head if you put a gun to my head!
In light of the truce, I asked Jim R to please allow me to rescind my opus, and restore my posting privileges. It seems he was gracious enough to do that. The truce was a good step in the right direction. It takes a big man to change direction, and frankly I thought Jim Rob’s opposition to Romney was so great that Jim would never back off one bit.
So let’s celebrate something positive and not be too negative. I don’t think religion was the big issue in this blow up, it was all about the hatred of either Obama or Romney, or both.
At the moment I’m grateful for both the truce and my reinstatement, and want to focus on defeating Obama.
This is also something is hard for me to understand.
I know that the dead are here. I’m not sure if they are all here, but some of them are. I know this because I have seen them, and I have touched a ghost with my hand as well.
I also know a very upstanding young lady whom my grandmother loved very much, and this young lady has both seen and spoken with the ghost of my grandmother who has been dead for twelve years.
Are you reflecting on the Star of David in the window??
Honey, coming in here snarling, and then trying to pull the victim card as though I’m baiting YOU, doesn’t wash. Understand?
I don’t know you from Adam, and I haven’t spoken to you before. But maybe the next time we meet here, we can interact civilly with each other.
“The word “bigot” (among many other words) has seemingly become the exclusive property of the disingenuous left. Interesting, isn’t it?”
Add the endless Jew-baiting straight from the Aryan Nations website...
But if he has an “R” next to his name, we aren’t allowed to question...y’knowhaddImean?

Oh stop it with that nonsense, you sound utterly ridiculous. You aren't going to do squat down in Tampa - not with a tool box, cartridge box or any other "notch" that you're alluding to.
Like I said earlier NOOB, go lay down, you ain’t runnin nothin!
My mother was never Mormon. And she was laughing at EF’s hypocrisy.
Methinks thou art projecting. It's you who aren't going to do a damn thing to try and stop the wholesale theft and destruction of your country.
Speak for yourself.
Oh please, my ears are burning, you should have pinged me if your gonna talk about me, please explain this hypocrisy??
“There is no special reasons or rules for any group of people to get into heaven any other way than the one way open to ALL peoples.”
And that one way is to become a Christian?
No, thank you!
It’s why I post...to inform people of the truth of matters to the best of my ability. I don’t like spin, half truths, misquotes, things taken out of context...that’s what libs do.
Romney is not a conservative, but he’s not the monster many would wish you to believe he is.
In any metric, he is a far better choice than Obama.
Which is not hell, but more of a place for souls to wait until the day that the Lord’s kingdom comes to earth.
There is no punishment in it.
What!!! No Jews in heaven??? Is that why you posted a pic of the Star of David when refering to evil???
