If that's what you got from what I wrote, either I'm not being plain enough or you're reading too fast. The essence is, if the denomination from which Mormonism recruits Christians to Mormonism were feeding the body and blood of OUR Lord more appropriately, the weak Christians would not be wandering into Mormonism.
The weak Christians appear to be running the Episcopalian Church!!! And yet, they are "feedeing the body and blood" every week and twice on Sunday. Hasn't helped them. Why would it help the weaklings that are converting to Mormonisms?
There is no anti-apostasy magic associated with the Lord's supper... "Do this in remembrance of me".If you really know Christ, then you will not stray too far from the Shepherd, as he will not allow you to. He will seek you out and drag you back.

It is so irritating to be talked about in such a low and discriminatory way. It’s like when a girl or guy is in a wheelchair and everyone carries on a conversation ABOUT THE PERSON IN THE WHEELCHAIR as if the person in the wheelchair wasn’t there. Like the person in the wheelchair doesn’t count.
I love Jesus Christ. He’s my Savior, too. And when I take the Sacrament it is a miracle to me - and I am remembering my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His great sacrifice. The anti-Mormons won’t even let me take the Sacrament in peace.
High and Mighty is reserved for Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. Not you.
Saundra, honey, they’re on my back about being an Episcopalian ... I don’t think you realize they’re not even considering your religious practices. You might want to leave well enough alone.
Because of things similar to what has been said on this thread, I became disgusted with all of the Christian churches.
I do consider myself to be a devoted Christian, but I refuse to allow "Man" to dictate how I communicate between God and myself. That is a personal matter, and none of their freaking business.
The LDS faith has strongly influenced my life, and because of that, I will always honor and respect the people who follow it.
Everyone else? Giggle......
To me, there is only one God and the lessons were taught to EVERY culture, in ways that they could understand.
Until the Christian churches get their heads out of their butts, I will proudly call myself Wiccan.
No, we're on your back for making really silly arguments. If the Epsicopalian Eucharist can somehow magically and/or miraculously prevent some weak Christian from becoming a Mormon, then why can't it prevent a weak Christian from becoming an Episcopalian?
The Episcopalian Church is in open apostasy and yet they supposedly have an apostolically authorized Eucharist every day and twice on Sunday. If by their "fruits" ye shall know them, then clearly with all the "fruits" running the Episcopalian Church we can know they are apostates. The Eucharist didn't help them.
The fact of the matter is that you proposed a rather silly premise that can easily be refuted. The Eucharist does not save a person and obviously it does not prevent a person from falling into apostasy. You might want to leave well enough alone.
Then this should be a reason to rejoice: not complain and murmur...
So much for that fogiveness thing....
Please! Who wants a Mormon president? I am against killing Mormons, but I still reject Mormonism with all my heart.
To me, the old saying “Familiarity breeds contempt” tends to take over in many folks.
This is none of my business, but how did you become a 'devoted Christian' without being influnced by Man along the way?
You would prefer a Methodist president?
Surely not a pagan Mormon.
What kind of pagan would you prefer?
I am a baptized Christian. The King of heaven and earth doesn’t see blacks as a curse. For He makes ALL tribes of man. I would rather have a baptized Christian as president. As long a Mormon isn’t president. I agree with Al Sharpton. Those who believe in God will defeat him.
Are you a Christian because you were baptized? Or were you baptized because you are a Christian?
The King of heaven and earth doesnt see blacks as a curse.
I do believe that the Mormons have disavowed that peculiar teaching.
I would rather have a baptized Christian as president.
I can assure you that Romney has been baptized. In addition, I suspect that he was baptized by proxy for many of your ancestors.
As long a Mormon isnt president.
What?
I agree with Al Sharpton.
Another fine baptized Christian, like yourself.
Those who believe in God will defeat him.
You and Al Sharpton, brothers in the fight.
"We're on a mission from God."
Ok, He must believe that Jesus is the WORD and the Bible is the ONLY BOOK from the God of heaven and earth. No other book counts. If he does not believe that, I will not accept him. Mormonism is equal to Islam, Deitism, Masonicism, paganism, Rastfarianism and others. Straight to the point.
Did not the Lord Amighty said to Nicodemus, “No one can see the Kingdom of God but first being born of water and Spirit.” There is only ONE book and that’s the Bible.
