SkyPilot gives his/her statement of faith, which is non-Biblical. SkyPilot rejects charity or good works as having anything to do with salvation. I submit that faith without works where the very statement of faith leads to a false idea of God is the downfall of the Christian Church. It is a path that points away from salvation.
Of course those calling every denomination but their own a cult are often in cults themselves and do not have much regard for the neighbor.
A person who leads a good life according to their religion has a place in heaven.
It just shows you don’t listen!
You would like this to be true for your own selfish readsons!
LOL, True.
Not only is it heretical (to most denominations), it is simply incorrect. I think it is safe to say that MOST people are niether Hebrew nor Arabic in ancestry, thus are likely NOT descended from anyone who commited “plural marriage”. I know that MY ancestry is purely Scottish, and Celts did not practice polygamy. Most cultures do not and never have.

Eldorado (pronounced el-dor-AY'-do) is a two-stoplight town of fewer than 2,000 people and located nearly 200 miles northwest of San Antonio. It consists of a cluster of government buildings, a couple churches and a few blocks of houses surrounded by dusty, wind-swept land where sheep are raised and mohair is produced.
I don't think there was a convenient parking lot of "Government Buses" in this town.
“It just shows you don’t listen!”
Does this thread have sound???
I can and do read and study. Your statement is
heresy.
Wait until you run into the mormon who has HIS lineage traced all the way back to Adam...of course, that means Jesus is in the mix SOMEWHERE in one of the “branches”. ;)

Mormons sure devote a lot of attention to polygamy. Check out that link.
This thread is not in the Religion Forum.
I wonder if that person draws that screwed up belief from the fact that Jesus was descended from Abraham (through Mary of course, not Joseph) who DID have multiple wives.
But in any event, that does not make Jesus the product of a plural marriage, since I know of nothing in scriptures which states Joseph had multiple wives. Further, even if Joseph DID have multiple wives, Jesus was not the result of ANYTHING Joseph did in that respect, since Jesus was from a virgin birth. Jesus was the product of Mary and God.
True enough. Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church identify themselves as Baptist, and claim to be following Primitive Baptist and Calvinist principles, though mainstream Primitive Baptists condemn Westboro Baptist Church and Phelps.
Given the above, it makes as much sense to add "Huckabee" and "Baptist" to the keywords of articles about Phelps and his rogue "church" as it does that "Romney", "Mormon", and "Romneytruthfile" have been added to the keywords of this thread. In either case, I'd consider it keyword abuse, but I guess it's not.
IIRC, you, like myself, aren't LDS. Just wanted to let you know that I think you're a real mensch for wading into the midst of threads like this one.
Picked up the wrong pill bottle. What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Oh yeah I know. I dated a mormon girl once, and attended their church for about a year, until I fully learned what they believe.
Basically, they see themselves as God’s Chosen people (rather than those we call Hebrews), and they also believe that as “gentiles” the rest of us are going to Hell.
You are welcome to continue down your hateful road and should you go beyond no return it matters not...
And people are welcome to follow heretical paths too. It is called Free Will. You can choose Truth or not.

Thanks for posting that, I pretty much figured it, but was too lazy to get to looking for it.
You know a lot about Mormons, does this seem like an odd infatuation with polygamy for a people that should be embarrassed by the subject?
http://www.sltrib.com/polygamy
It almost seems like a topic that they desire to cover and keep people informed on, as far as to how none Mormons respond.
Proof me wrong?
Folks who attempt to use the Old Testament to justify polygamy, should be asked to explain the 7th Commandment...
“You Shall Not Commit Adultery”
specializes in that in what?
She has an 8 month old baby and turned 16 this year.
She was raped at 14.
Maybe it should be?
