Can we please keep comments about the Mormon faith off the political discussion threads?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 05/24/2011 4:07:08 PM PDT by ken5050

As we enter the GOP primary season, I'm starting to notice more and more an annoying trend here in FR. It seems as though everytime there's an article, or someone posts a comment about Romney, either pro or con, it nearly always devolves into an extended, and acrimonious discussion about the Mormon faith. Those who defend it, and those who, for whatever reasons, can't abide it, both sides seem determined to wage an "end of times" batte on all the FR threads. Frankly, I'm tired of it, and just wish it would stop. I think that probably 99% of others here feel the same way.

I got to hand it to you guys. You try and try to ridicule, rebuke, insult and intimidate people who think different than you do in an attempt to either run them off or get them banned. It ain’t gonna work here bud. You and your cronies are the joke of FR. You just ain’t figured it out yet.

You think that those of us that are Indian or part Indian are non Christians? You even think that of Indians that would be in the Republican presidential primary?

...Smith hiself excommunicated some of my ancestors ~ that he did ~ just kicked 'em out and left 'em behind.

THAT probaly saved their lives to BE your ancestors!

There were some folks not so fortunate, that followed what the FALSE PROPHET Brigham Young told them to do: push a handcart across the plains in the dead of winter.

Mormons consider Jesus to be the Savior and the Son of God. That is not Christian?

Even liberal organizations like the National and World Council of Churches don't recognize mormonism as Christian.

You are out of your mind dude. I am not pro JFK or mormon but you are letting your hate for both of them eat you alive. You need help and counciling and possibly medication.

Nothing God does is disgusting to me.

Doctrine and Covenants
Section 131
Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, 16 and 17 May 1843 (see History of the Church, 5:392–93).

1–4, Celestial marriage is essential to exaltation in the highest heaven; 5–6, How men are sealed up unto eternal life is explained; 7–8, All spirit is matter.

 1 In the acelestial glory there are three bheavens or degrees;

 2 And in order to obtain the ahighest, a man must enter into this border of the cpriesthood [meaning the new and deverlasting covenant of emarriage];

 3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

 4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an aincrease.

 5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of aprophecy means a man’s knowing that he is bsealed up unto ceternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

 6 It is impossible for a man to be asaved in bignorance.

 7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by bpurer eyes;

 8 We cannot asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all bmatter.

Native American, Republican Senator Ben Lighthorse Campbell was a Roman Catholic, and Native American, Republican Vice President Charles Curtis was Methodist.

Both of those churches say that Mormonism is not a Christian religion.

________________________________________________

Ya know what you are saying is awful close to bigotry

The answer is kid

Ask him ...

Meanwhile “how do you know what the average everyday Mormon or how he worships or who his true god is.”

BTW My grandchildren are Native American and confess the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian bible as their LORD and Savior who shed His blood on the Cross at Calvary and died on the Cross to save them

But then my grandchildren are Cherokee..

I cant speak for the other tribes..

Don’t know why you posted that to me, I never said that you did.

You are here to bash Christians on a thread meant to bash Christians, in defense of Mormonism.
