First, tell me one time that Limbaugh begged people to vote MR?
I did not support MR because of his policies which were backed up by how he governed.
MR was until he declared for the presidency pro-choice.
When JM won the primary who else was there to support, accept a third party candidate.
I did not vote JM I voted for Gov Palin.
I get soooo tired of being accuse of the lds bashing thing...it is old old old.
MR governed as a liberal and tried to change his political past when he decided to run for president.

You dont need Greek metaphysics to understand the divinity of Christ, but you do need Greek metaphysics to comprehend three in one and one in three.I sure don't!
COMPREHENDING ONE God that has TWO physical bodies: now THAT takes some doing!!

From the perspective of a Mormon, there is no difference between the hate displayed here (by some) on FR and the hate that comes from the pro-Prop. 8 protesters in the streets.Oh, PLEASE!!
Point to some HATE that we can see!

Catholics & Baptists (& Methodists, Presbyerians, Lutherans, Bible churches, generic evangelical Churches, along with 99% of churches who call themselves Christian) all profess belief in One God who created all that is, existing from all eternity in 3 Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
LDS/Mormonism does not. In the opinion of traditional theologians from all the previously mentioned groups, the LDS does not hold to this or other essential doctrines ALL Christians have for 2000 years.
In the opinion of your founder Joseph Smith, all (Chiristian) churches were an abomination hence, I do not know why you wish for the recognition of us abominable Christians. Be happy, be Mormonand I wont discriminate against youbut please dont claim the mantle Christian.
Disagreeing, even strongly with anothers beliefs is NOT bashing except under a liberal, PC understanding of pluralistic relativism.
I saw the ad in question, and it truly was abominable, as it was a lie, and truly bashed (with lies) a small minority religion. That doesnt mean Christians shouldnt speak the truthin loveto defend the good news of the biblical Jesus Christ.
That is an excellent comment. Thank you.

To: Elsie
Try imagining God the Father speaking from Heaven, Christ in the river Jordan being baptised, and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove. The Bible seems to be going out of the way to describe three different entities. But if you want to call that one, at least allow others to see it differently without condemning them and calling them non-Christian.
To: netmilsmom
Coming onto a thread to do it is crass and less than Christian. So; Ugly Mormons used in a title is NOT sufficiant cause for ANY comments on MORMONism?

The Evanglization got totally out of hand.The "We are the only ones who stopped the queers" is getting way out of hand as well.

Yeah, theyre built on high ground. Basements surrounded with dirt, narrow windows at the top...defensible communities...cities may have been overstating it...When I moved to Pocatello from San Diego, I wanted a real basement. Houses in Pocatello are built that way. Houses in Boise are built like San Diego. Single story on slabs, wood framing and stucco exteriors. I had enough of that style growing up in San Diego. I'm sure the basement qualifies as "defensible". My window wells are barely suitable "foxholes". They don't meet the "egress" requirement for a fully equipped firefighter to jump into the well and access the basement. Absent that qualification, the 1300 sq feet in the basement can't legally host a bedroom. C'est la vie!
The Kurds thought basements were safe shelter from Saddam's military. That worked right up to the point where he employed heavier than air toxic gas to kill everyone huddled in the basements. Chemical Ali is still above room temperature.

Brother, our task is to SPREAD the good news of the biblical Jesus Christ. That is what we should be doing.Almost...
NIV Matthew 28:18-20
18. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20. and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
