ask her about the deception of her multiple screen names used in the religion forum
now you do
as for my questions - I havent seen any attempt at answering - let alone something I "dont like"
with regards to FR - Im interested how you legitimize the caveat under the guise of free speech and would remind you that this is not a free speech forum, rather a private conservative forum we are allowed to participate in.....That said - you are now an "affiliate with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints", as there are individuals who would persecute you for your faith, malign the BOM, and / or Joseph Smith.....the website is called free republic - not free speech forum
you are decieveing yourself to consider otherwise
Beyond that, I was asking legitimate questions - perhaps youd like to address them ?
otherwise have a great afternoon
“now you do”
I don’t see having more than one account here as inherently dishonest. If resty used multiple account to mislead someone, that is another matter, but you should keep in mind that we believe in repentance and forgiveness too and you are in no position to judge someone’s temple worthiness. Even if you know of their flaws, you don’t know if they have sought and recieved forgiveness.
“you are now an “affiliate with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”, as there are individuals who would persecute you for your faith, malign the BOM, and / or Joseph Smith.”
No, because I am opposing them, not joining with them. If I was taking their side, THEN I would be affiliating myself with them and there would be an issue about temple worthiness. My kids attend a Catholic school, so do many others in my ward, including one of the Bishop’s counselors, and the kids of a previous Bishop. You do not understand the question, it isn’t about avoiding contact, it’s about where your allegiance lies.
“I was asking legitimate questions - perhaps youd like to address them ?”
Scanning the thread, it seems the gist of your questions is asking why access to temples is restricted. We consider them to be sacred places, literal houses of God, and God has set a standard for those who want to enter into his house to meet, just as God has a standard for those who wish to enter heaven to meet before they can enter there.
When Moses was called to come talk with God on top of Sinai, the children of Israel had to wait down below and were not permitted to go up. Same principle.
