The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.
They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.
They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.

Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
Whatever you're trying to do to minimize me as a 'so called Christian' who refuses to defend the faith won't hold up against the truth.
Off to a meeting to get rid of Sherrod Brown. Bye.
The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.
They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.
They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.
Defending your faith is ‘un-American’?!
You are one of those people that would like to see all discussion of Religion stop, aren’t you?
Thanks Jim for your very thoughtful reply.
I agree with what you have written to me about the cancer of Socialism. IMHO, we are on the same page.
Your partial quote: “ - - - You cannot separate fiscal conservatism from social conservatism or national security conservatism - - - “ IS what I see has happened on Free Republic.
For example, on any given FR thread the Social Conservatives are more passionate, more abundant, and less fearful of being banned than the Fiscal Conservatives are.
On FR, we should NOT be separated, but joined in a multi-pronged attack on the body politic: currently Socialism, but rapidly morphing into Bolshevik Marxism.
Speaking/writing ONLY for myself here on FR, I would like to see a better balance between the Fiscal And Social Conservatives by expanding your Truce to include more posting freedom for those of us who consider THE MAIN PROBLEM to be US Federal Government Overspending by “both” of our sorry political parties.
IMHO, it does NOT matter who or which party overspends OUR Federal dollars, it matters THAT our dollars were overspent!
Politicians come and go, but the Federal financial insanity of “spending more money than was taken in during the previous year” stays entrenched in our sorry political system.
To quote Margret Thatcher: “The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
We are those “other people.” Our politicians have TAXED US ENOUGH ALREADY. Free us to join in the two-pronged attack on Socialism: Social AND Financial.
The Liberal Agenda Media, Democrats and RINOs love it that those of us who desire to Conserve the very best of America have not mounted an attack on them to force them to live by the reality of money.
Radio announcer Paul Harvey said it best: “WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.”
To this point in the Republican Primary Campaign, the politicians have NOT focused on this reality of money.
Santorum’s “Suspended” Campaign is an excellent example of how powerful the “Court of Public Opinion,” (owned by the Liberal Agenda Media), is in diverting attention AWAY from the reality of money.
Each American family MUST focus on the reality of money EVERY DAY.
Let us at FR challenge our sorry politicians in ALL political parties to do the same WITH OUR MONEY!

” - - - Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.”
On this point you and I are in disagreement. We are not on the same page, but I suspect on the same chapter.
IMHO, there are no longer “Checks and Balances” in our Federal Government.
To list just a few examples of evidence: the rule of Constitutionally Justified Laws are circumvented by Regulations written by un-elected political appointees; the Majority Leader in the US Senate will never see his well-deserved view of the inside of a locked jail cell for refusing to pass a Constitutionally Mandated US Federal Budget for 3 YEARS, - - - etc., etc., etc.
In other words, the “Government” does whatever it damn well wants to, and has NO concern for what the “consent” of what we, their serfs, try to express.

I apologize if I have wandered off the topic a tad. Thanks for letting me bend your ear.
I’ll get off of my Fiscal Soapbox now, and get back to work so that I can continue to pay my “fair share” of taxes to the current Sheriff of Nottingham Timmy Gee, who then can voodoo finance our very professional “public servants” to continue to buy our votes by “giving” us “Entitlements” that we no longer have the money to pay for.
_______________
As I wrote before to you, Freep mail a warning to me and I’ll comply, as I am merely a guest on you Free Republic site, and hopefully will remain a welcome one.
Sincerely,
Graewoulf.
If it isn’t your calling to reach Mormons, fine. It is a rough ministry. Frankly, I get tired of getting death threats from Mormons, just for speaking the truth, quoting their leaders and the Bible - IOW, for defending Christianity
However, it is my calling, so just step aside and let us do our work for the Lord.
I'm sure you're not but others have been living in that cult and have gotten out and shared their experiences which you ridicule.
If you want to be apathetic and ignorant towards Mormonism, fine but don't then try to defend this cult it against people who either lived it or have studied it.
So, what I see here is the hatred continues on this thread while the thread calling for a truce is laden with more hatred and whining.
Some truce.
Damn, people! Give it a rest! We get the message! But the fact is that we cannot run a pure conservative and win against Obama; there’s too many idiot voters out there! (waiting for the obvious, childish response)
The elections in Greece and France should provide good warnings; as should California’s last election.
As for me, I will vote for the Republican.
Due to GreyMountainReagan's disgust at the anti-Mormon culture on FreeRepublic he has asked that his account be suspended.
Says a lot. If in fact you are so disgusted...then just freaking leave. BTW, that comment is a bit weird anyway. FWIW
And the fact that you are REALLY part of the problem is noted HERE, in your own words.
As for donating, believe it or not I don't care.
Yeah, words mean things. And yours are damning.
Sooooooooooo.....
Will your protest sign read "ZOT THOSE WHO CRITICIZE THE LDS-ORG?"
reaganaut - not particularly aimed at you, but your post crystallized what I was thinking.
Was gonna stay out of this, but:
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Christian charity exists for a reason. Because we cannot judge. Only God can do that. Are you God? Or even The Shadow?
Didn’t think so.
So you have zero idea of what is in the heart of any man, woman or child.
So lets judge a little less and accept that the Lord knows what he is doing a little more.
Where was eastforker in 2008 when mormons declared that they were going to "hose the pigs" in the Religion Forum in an effort to silence those who opposed their agenda and reestablish their dominance of the forum? Holding one of those signs?
I don’t really care that much about how Romney behaved in Mass. with understandably left leaning influences.
Maybe I’ll even give him the benefit of the doubt, acknowledging they he had to work with Demorats.
My reason for being opposed to Romney is about his character. This primary season has revealed his true nature, ie the way one behaves when you think noone is watching.
He could have renounced the decidedly underhanded and unscrupulous actions of his PAC, Restore our Future.(and incidentally, what does this name mean? Sounds like something Bam and Co. would come up with).
But instead he said he wasn’t aware of what they were doing..as “they” quietly went about systematically destroying his opponents by vilification, distortions and outright lies.
Governor Romney: Excuse me, but you knew exactly what they were doing. Rather than make a case for what you stood for, for what you were going to do for our country if elected, you chose the only path you are comfortable with. Tear down the opposition so you were the only one left standing at the end. The illusion of power justifying control.
Target, focus, destroy. Sound familiar?
Mittens and his sidekick, the Rino GOP-E, have no problem with distorting the truth.They think that we sheeple will understand that it is a necessary measure for the ultimate goal of defeating Bam...and all in the name of “politics”.
They are trying to desensitize us to the concept of right vs wrong and take away our personal power to make choices for ourselves.
It’s group mentality at it’s worst and far removed from founding principles.
Mittens IS the mastermind here and he crafted the fragile foundation-less structure for his self serving,underhanded, unprofessional and unscrupulous campaign tactics because he knew that without them, he would not win.
It’s a house of cards, to say the least, capable of being toppled with one strong breath..the breath of freedom.
And that is why when I stand before God and my country on election day, I will not be voting for a man with NO HONOR.
And I will be able to sleep well that night.
That verse “judge not” is about not judging HYPOCRITICALLY, not not judging at all. Christians are called to judge false doctrine and teachings and warn of false prophets - which is exactly what we do.
If I condemned someone for adultery and was having an affair myself, then your comments to me would be justified. However, I am not judging hypocritically at all.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a Mormon to have a personal relationship with Christ and remain a faithful Mormon. Why? Because Mormons to not believe, or teach, the Gospel of Grace. In fact they teach AGAINST a personal relationship with Christ. All ex-Mormons who have become Christians will tell you that they NEVER heard the Gospel of Grace until AFTER they left Mormonism. That is just a fact. It isn’t judging their heart, it is judging their teachings.
Mormons are spiritually blind and lost. Every one of them who still believes in it. I spend hours every single day weeping and praying for God to open their eyes.
I do what I do because God has called me to it and who are YOU to tell me not to do what God has called me to do?!?! You are judging my heart by claiming I don’t have charity. Now, that makes YOU judging me hypocritically, which is contrary to the verse you posted.
I thank God that more people didn’t have your attitude, or I would still be a member of that demonic cult and not have ever become a Christian. You may not agree with our methods, but they work, and most ex-Mormons will tell you they work. The Christians who were ‘nice’ to me when I was LDS, I had no respect for. The Christians who challenged me, made me angry enough to prove them wrong are the ones that reached me with the truth and got me to really examine the claims of Mormonism. They are the ones who loved me enough to tell me I was headed for Hell and PRAISE GOD they did.
So, back off and let me do what God has called me to do. I answer to him, not you.
And that is why when I stand before God and my country on election day, I will not be voting for a man with NO HONOR.
And I will be able to sleep well that night.

AMEN!
Mary - Well said and thank you for bringing a small amount of sanity back to the thread. You kept it honest, stated your opinion, stated any extenuating circumstances and have made your choice.
Everyone needs to make the choice themself. You have looked at the man who has been foisted on the GOP and decided - no. I’ll not even argue with you, I respect you far too much for that. You get into the ballot box, it is you, the ballot and your conscience.
Hat tip to you, though we may not agree on this point!
Sounds like you’ve had quite a personal journey. But last time I checked, this isn’t a “Christian conversion” board. So while you may post what you like, simply telling people to “back off” while you do your Lord’s work is in no way conducive to a forum where people can comment on whatever they wish. They might as well tell you to “back off.”
I’m with you Mary.
Let liberals elect him since they are the ones he campaigned to.
Consider the source. Read annalex's posting history.
Annalex has said several other really *interesting* things in the past as well.
