Do you associate only with those who you are in complete agreement?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some issues are deal killers, and I do everything possible to either eliminate or minimize my contact with people who hold these “deal killer” beliefs.

But apparently you can be “against **everything** the mormon church stands for,” but somehow not be against the people who promote, live, stand for, defend, organize every minute of their day around, and establish “everything the mormon church stands for..”

Somehow being against **”everything**” the Mormon church stands for, isn't a deal killer for you.

Wow! Sorry...I don't see how that is possible.

I don’t view a person’s religion as a “deal killer” when it comes to personal relationships. (islam is purposely excluded since it’s a form of government, an idealogy)

It’s part of who they are, not what they are. Why can’t one be against something someone else believes in, yet still care for that person? I have liberal friends that I work on persistently in getting them to see the light.

Thus it’s the same way with mormonism. I believe that every soul is worth saving and that cutting myself off from them is essentially a failure to follow God’s command.

But that’s just me I guess, because according to you, you just can’t see how it’s possible.

Your mileage obviously varies and I sense from your posts, that you are demonstrably timid in following the admonition in the Biblical scripture I posted.

Abandoning friends and acquaintances to their fate because of liberalism or a religion that is contrary to established Christian beliefs because their beliefs are “deal killers” to you is, in my mind, unconscionable.

I’m done with “hijacking” the thread.

FRegards
