Do not post to Turret Gunner A20 again. Thank you.
Thank you.
Let’s hope it takes.

n/p = No problem ;)
OH!
Post to me a sentence with underlined, bold, italics in it ... just for the fun of it.
Hmmmm. My closing </i> didn’t work????????
I always thought it humorous that mormons consider anyone NOT a mormon to be a gentile....including Jews. Were you aware of that?
Yeah. OK. But why is your injunction not reciprocal? Why have I been gagged while the barely literate trolls and spewers of obscenities who have abused this thread, and have contributed nothing intelligent to this discussion, are allowed to continue their personal attacks?
I always thought it humorous that mormons consider anyone NOT a mormon to be a gentile....including Jews. Were you aware of that?And Christians believe that we murdered the Rabbi Jesus, a Galilean mamzer and son of peasants (the Galileans, like the Samaritans, were not accepted by the Jews as full Jews because their pedigree was uncertain) and Talmid (student) of Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist), even though the Gospel narratives themselves suggest that the guilt lies with the Roman administrators (Pilot, and the high priest he himself appointed: Ciaphus), and Roman clients (Herod the Idumean).
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.To a Jew this sounds like assimilation, which is harmless enough when uttered by a protestant. Protestants at least believe in faith as a matter of conscience. So the pious Jew can simply answer: no, thank you. When a Catholic utters it this passage sounds like genocide just because of our unfortunate relationship with the Vicar of Christ and his many, many armed followers through the years.
Perhaps you hadn’t noticed that you are the only one still making insulting, condescending posts ...
Perhaps you hadn’t noticed that you are the only one still making insulting, condescending posts ...Well, then, let's get back on topic, shall we? I believe that Catholic complicity in the Shoa (Holocaust) and with every anti-semetic movement (or massacre) of the past 1000 years or more far outweighs any imagined "racism" in the source texts of the Mormon confession. Hence, not only would I vote for a Mormon before a Catholic, I would man the phone banks for, knock on doors for, and give generously to, any Mormon who had the good graces to run against a Catholic. I mean, as far as Jews are concerned, the crook and mitre are stained in Jewish blood. Besides, what better evidence of racism can there be than killing Jews? What better evidence of a pact with what a Christian would call the Devil can there be than killing Jews? And what about our aboriginal brothers and sisters who suffered and died under Church sanctioned slavery in South and Meso America? At least the Mormons not only respect, but revere our Native Americans and First Nations peoples. I mean, Yikes! As far as Christian sects go, the Mormons are among the most good and upright, wouldn't you say? The historical record at least argues as much.
Are there any Popes or Church ‘fathers’ of Christendom that you know of who rewrote the Torah and created passages to write themselves in as prophesied coming ‘in the latter days’ to restore Judaism and or Christianity? Joe Smith tried to do just that, so if there have been others befgore him, it would be an interesting study.

Joe Smith tried to do just that, so if there have been others befgore him, it would be an interesting study.Arius, Marcion, Mani, Constantine's councils and the councils of numerous other emperors--the primitive Church was but one wave after another of rewriting the Torah, re-specifying the canon, and creating passages to write themselves in as specified. This is OK. This is what sects do. Where I draw the line is when Jews are put to the sword or to the flame. No institution in history has been more efficient, more effective, more determined, or more relentless at killing Jews than the Catholic Church.
Thanks for the information. I'll be studying the persons you mention, with an eye to seeing the rewrites in comparison to Joe Smith's rewrite of the Old Testament.
