And I also know that over the millenia, Christians have taken God's word, and used Jesus' Name to do things that having nothing to do with being a Christ-follower.
The "Fruit of the Spirit" as listed in Galatians 5: 22 are the following....LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, and SELF-CONTROL.
This passage of Scripture is not about berating and belittling everyone in your path, but controlling yourself because we belong to Jesus Christ. It's about ourselves, and crucifying our own sin nature.....not others.
I am measuring everything I see to God's Word, and Christ's teaching and example, and that is exactly why I am criticizing you and Elsie.
I am not 'personally attacking' anyone for exposing false teachings. If that's all that was going on here, I would be silent. I understand exactly what Mormonism is, and have for decades, and know its errors, but that, again, is not what I am criticizing.
If you don't understand, svcw, that you are only a sinner saved by grace, and not better than others who have not yet found and accepted the real, crucified, risen Lord, who is the ONLY Son of God, and who IS God, then I would urge you to spend some time in prayer about that.
Until then, I will ignore your not so subtle personal attacks on me, that I am not a Christian.
The more you accuse me, the worse you look.
Really? If you are who you say you are and beleive what you wrote here, then you should be exposing mormonism not quasi defending it.
What you wrote is in opposition to mormonism, which is why it must be exposed.
Romney is a liberal, I will not vote for him. Romney is a mormon, he can not be separated from his beliefs. Romney is who he is because he practices mormonism, it makes him who he is. Unless you understand mormonism, it is not possible to understand him.
Romney is a liberal just like BHO, if that gets you all wired up to call me an BHO troll/supporter nothing I can do about it.
But, you must admit, that you do a damned good job of ACCUSING folks to be Obama trolls!
Hold this thought.
