In my whinyest nasal entertainer voice, ‘I just can’t imagine what it would be like not to be able to marry someone I loved.’ /s/

The presidential candidate with an "R" behind his name thinks it's just fine for queers to adopt children, as long as they "love each other".

My wife and I just adopted two children a couple of weeks ago and this is a subject that's close to my heart, it makes me shiver to think that they might possibly have been adopted by perverts if we didn't have them.

1 Peter 2:15
"For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:"

Ephesians 5:11 NKJV
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them."

Finally something we agree on moose, "well doing" by "exposing works of darkness" will put to silence foolish men.

BTW, did you check that verse against the JST version ?.....

Yup, sounds all ok to me. (But exactly how are the polygamists “discriminating”? Who is being discriminated against?)

You are right, and I am convinced the courts will have to find that any and all marriage is allowed as this plays out. It makes my skin crawl to think I will likely live to see folks getting benefits (tax breaks, insurance, etc.) for being married to their dog...

If polygamy is allowed spouse and widows benefits from various government administrations will be interesting. I can just see the government paying widow’s benefits to 5 or more wives.

I wonder if the new book “The Gaggle: How the Guys You Know Will Help You Find the Love You Want” is a precursor to this - one man can’t do all and be all for you, so don’t bother with monogamy, just have a polyandry “gaggle”. Ugh. No word on whether there’s a male equivalent book or if this is just a female justification of acting like the baby daddy crowd.

It is truly amazing how a non-Mormon “knows” so much about Mormonism! I am 71 years old, and I was born and raised as a Mormon. While it is no longer my faith of choice, your ignorance (or perhaps is just your looney born again Christian mentality) of Mormonism is astounding! I thought as “christians” you guys were taught to be tolerant of others views (vette6387)

Vette, it is truly amazing how a Mormon could know NOTHING about Mormonism.

Sentinel, like me, CC, grey, sz and others here are not just ‘non-Mormons’, we are EX-Mormons. We used to be part of that cult and it amazes me that ex-mo’s always no more about Mormon history and doctrine than current LDS do. I suppose if current Mormons knew that much, they would no longer be Mormon.

Sentinel is correct, the FLDS has the same founding prophets, the same scriptures etc as LDS and in reality the polygamous groups are the REAL Mormons since they still practice the ‘eternal principle’ of polygamy, the one the SLC breakoff threw under the bus.

He is also correct about the occult practices and symbols. Temple square is full of them and Smith’s Jupiter talisman is in possession of SLC.

Also, Christians are never called to be tolerant of unChristian teachings and doctrines, rather we are to fight heresies like Mormonism which is what we do.

Do I need to post pics for you Vette, since obviously your ignorance is astounding.

Lots of people have left Mormonism but few take the time to trash it as you have.

- - - - -
Actually, those who have left Mormonism more often than not take time to ‘trash’ it and warn others, whether they are atheists or Christians.

Some of us care about those still in that cult, apparently you don’t.

No church should ever lie to its members or the public, which is what the LDS does.

We thought our nation had settled the polygamy issue a century and a half ago

What was settled 150 years ago? The Mormons just ignored the law.

Moose that's the most taken out of context verse I think I've ever seen the LITTLE "g" gods are false gods, judged by the ONE AND ONLY big "G" GOD who makes them die like men in the rest of te chapter.

It is only in FLDS/LDS scriptures that false gods like Baal, Jupiter and Molech are blasphemously given big "G" GOD status

FLDS/LDS Book of Abraham Chpter 4
1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.

“Polygamy and gay marriage or homosexuality are equality evil and sinful to God...”

Really? So all of those people in the Old Testament were sinners and the Bible’s references to them are also sinful?

>They are practicing what they term ‘bleeding the beast’ which is collecting welfare and every benefit they can for the many, many children while the ‘father’ doesn’t have to support any of them. We do.<

At least there is a father. Most heavly Democrats urban areas The father is unknown.

Guess that’s more bull$hit from your suede shoe “minister.” You know, the guy who looks and acts like Jim Bakker and has a wife who is spending all your money and puts on make up with a trowel!

BRAVO!!!

All these sanctimonious, "My GOD" is the ONLY GOD" and "My Religion (they are all "REAL" Christians, dontcha know?) "is superior to all others" HATE-MITTENS/MORMONS, Freeps have such compassion and consideration for others don't they?

Wonder how they feel about [the] REAL, eeevil, barbaric, misogynistic, cult, (AND THAT WHICH DEAR LEADER DEFENDS AND SUPPORTS)--which has SUPREMACIST intentions and are hell-bent of DESTROYING our Republic--Islam?

Oh wait, they NEVER, EVER, have anything to say about it or Sharia, as they are too busy demonizing, dissing and denigrating Mormons.

Mayhaps they should take a time out and go back and read their Bible, specifically, Luke 6:42

"How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

WHOOP-DEE-FRIKIN-DOO!

I "know of ONE AND ONE HALF BILLION MUSLIMS" (1,500,000,000) who HATE all Infidels and most would as soon cut our heads off (unless we "SUBMIT" or course and agree to live as "DHIMMIS"--read "SLAVE") and have been doing so for the past 1,400 years.

Care to show whereby any Mormons have Supremacy as they primary goals; support "Honor Killings;" advocate "DEATH for Apostates" or for "Insulting Joseph Smith or their Bible" or that of advocating "DESTROYING OUR MISERABLE HOUSE FROM WITHIN BY OUR OWN HAND" as do those who Dear Leader supports, the Muslim Brotherhood?

Would you consider them "vicious people?"

The ball is in your court!!!
