As one who believes in the inerrancy of Scripture, as I do, I'm sure you can find plenty of references to where all of those things are sin.
I would suggest starting with Galatians 5:22 and going from there.
Peace, Brother. May God show us both the sin that still remains in us and turns us away from doing His will and reflecting His love and grace.
And may we BOTH understand what it truly means to 'defend the faith' and do it in His Love.
Thanks for your answer, glad I was wrong about your intent.
In the last 24hrs I’ve been a DU plant, a fifth columnist, a delta troll (whatever in the hell that is) and every label unrepeatable including the ever populsr n00b, simply because I will not vote for...and I’m not even going to say his name.
I apologize. And I don’t like the reflexes FR is giving me lately.
This communist infiltrator is going to be laying down on the job. Taking a long break from politics.
Laugh all you want, and yes it is quite a statement and an accurate one at that, and no room is needed, he's right, and that is all there is to it.
Nobody here on this tread...that I've read is trying to win someone to Christ.
I didn't say win, I said no one is going to come to Christ via the brow beating that is visible here, if anything, the exact opposite will occur. There is a difference. What occurred in this thread is repulsive.
I generally see...people here warning others about false religions. ie: mormonism.
It isn't false to the people whose belief system it is, and if you don't like it, don't believe it and don't support it, that's fine, but you can keep that **** to yourself.
I figure that's your rub....though, and you call it, bigotry.
Yes, that is what I call it, bigotry, because that is what it is. People are free to believe as they choose to believe, so lay off of 'em.
Thank you for validating my first point.
Do ya long for the OLD days; when MORMONs were running rampant?
We Christians said: ENOUGH! and started confronting them.
Things were wooly there for a while, but we overcame them with "the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
Revelation 12:11
The world found that MORMONs are all bluff, and their heresy is indefensible.
They are reduced to name calling and bluster.
Even Headquarters told the rank and file not to pester it with questions!
Actually, I don't. I'm lucky to remember what I had for breakfast these days, and that was a LONG time ago.
(We are STILL on the same side, ohio; just doing it a bit differently.)
I’m still ticked. Sorry. NO truce.
Try again. Your first 'point' was completely vacuous, absent of both substance and accuracy. (IOW, you were WRONG).
I'm sorry I even tried to help you out by explaining. Won't try again. Pointless. Bye. :)
Now THEM was some good times!
Invective!
Spittle!!
Animalistic Allusions!!!
I sure hope so. Not seeing it clearly on this thread.
(Though I used to enjoy being in the trenches with you fighting for the truth in Genesis and the importance of understanding the accuracy of Creation. However, it's been a lot of years and I don't miss the blood from some of those battles.....)
A few points:
I don't think there's a single Freeper who doesn't get how evil Obama is. Not voting for Romney has zero to do with misconceptions about Obama. Personally, it makes me sick that I can't vote to get that ---blank----out.
No, Romney isn't a saint, not with the blood he has on his hands from enabling abortion, and the cozying up to homosexuals he likes to do. I don't care whether you vote for Romney or not, but let's not whitewash him in order to feel better about doing so.
I agree with you that Romney probably doesn't hate America like Obama does. But there are so many other insurmountable factors when it comes to voting for him.
Mountain men!
Oracles!!
Defenders!!!

His religion is the least of Mitt’s problems. I’d vote for a Sikh, a Mormon, a Zoroastrian who shared our values and acted in accord. That ain’t Romney.
Who can be loyal to that? Who could be enthusiastic about that?
Interesting choice of cartoon. Does Romney offend you? Or do you find his beliefs, and those of Mormons, offensive?
Wait, don’t answer that - it’s been abundantly clear to anyone who happens upon, well, just about any of your posts, I would guess.
So does that make you a habitually offended individual? You are certainly a habitual spammer, I’m not the first to notice that.
So really, it’s actually a great cartoon!
Most Mormons will (as long as there are no MORMON Democrats in the race)
You must be a proud holder of some liberal big-government campus degree with a few (or more) multi-cultural educators...who apparently taught you the error of...
...doctrinal equivalency...
...moral equivalency...
...truth equivalency...
Sorry, to break this to you: All doctrines, counterfeit doctrines, morals, legalistic excesses, & truths/falsehoods, are not created or derived "equal."
Otherwise...w/your corrupt interpretation of all this, the Hitler recognized Aryan "doctrine" of a "master race" would be just as defensible by you as any other...
Or the beliefs of a few 19th-century religionists (Mormon, some who claimed Christian, etc.) who embraced open racism would also be just as defensible by you.
Sorry. I won't make the same corrupt mistake of defending racism...or other doctrines (the Metropolitan community church teaches homosexuality & "same-sex" marriage as "doctrine")...just because of your non-sensical extension of a right to hold some belief somehow gives it 100% teflon status from any and all critiques!
Besides, you don't even practice this evenly on threads like this...
Based upon eyewitness testimony -- the same kind of testimony that's enough to send somebody to the gallows/electric chair -- Christians believe that the resurrection of Jesus was a "fact." Then Eastforker comes along this thread and inadvertently bashes the historical resurrection as "non-factual"...
He said, post #286: Since faith requires a belief based on someones words without evidence to back it up, it doesn ‘t make it a fact. since there is no factual information it can not be discussed logicaly, because logicaly, there are no facts.
Who says Christianity offers "no evidence" of the resurrection of Christ? (Not Christians). Hence, whereas Christians say such evidence exists...that these leads to the same as "facts" established in say, a trial...Eastforker has come on this thread to absolutely proclaim no such "evidence" or "facts" could possibly exist for the resurrection of Christ.
That is an attack upon Christianity; it ridicules the resurrection; and it bashes our belief in the resurrection as "news"...
Yet...what? No defense from you or Laotzu or others???
Why not? Is it because it's "OK" to target Christ and Christianity?
IOW, half of the Democrat Party pointing their fingers at some criminal that's lying, cheating, and stealing...when they are doing the EXACT same thing?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in general Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliance, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
