OK, think of it this way: which do you think would make a person closer to God - being Mormon or living a deviant homosexual lifestyle? We have a cultural battle going on where one dimension is the acceptance of deviant sexual behavior as normal. Those that fall for this brainwashing and accept deviant sexual behavior as normal have little chance of ever knowing God, and each deviant thing they accept takes them farther away. Then you have Mormons, who, while believing in a definition of God that differs from scripture, at least respect morality and FIGHT AGAINST this acceptance of deviant sexual behavior. If they are successful at convincing people that deviant sexual behavior is immoral, they allow those people to have a better chance at finding God.

Now, do you really believe that dismissing or even fighting a guy who is supporting a path that will bring people closer to God just because he is a Mormon is actually serving God? Because, if you do, then you have a serious inability to think logically. If you saw Card trying to pull someone from a burning car, would you refuse to help him because he is Mormon? What you are suggesting is no different.

Neither, homosexuality and idolatry are both damning sins. In fact, the sin of Mormonism is perhaps even greater, since it masquerades as the Gospel, though it is called accursed by the Apostle (Gal 1:6-9). So it provides false hope and salvation under the cover of their version of Christ, and damns a person to hell, as if there had been no change at all in their life.

Though, the LDS actually isn’t as hard on homosexual acts as people would like to believe.

“We have a cultural battle going on where one dimension is the acceptance of deviant sexual behavior as normal.”

We have a spiritual battle wherein groups like the Mormons and other deviants are trying to infiltrate Christianity and, thus, abolish the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mormonism is just one part of it. The Rob Bell types, Prosperity pimps, and other freaks and creeps are working for Satan too.

“If they are successful at convincing people that deviant sexual behavior is immoral, they allow those people to have a better chance at finding God.”

Biblically, it is God who goes forth and finds people, and it is not based on whether or not they think homosexuality is a sin or not. Otherwise, Scientologists, who have the same views, would be just as beneficial for your cause as any other, especially since on the lower levels they also claim that their religion is compatible with other religions.

Whether it is Mormons, or Scientologists, or Jehovah’s Witnesses, they are all interchangeable for your point of view, and would all, by your logic, be great defenders of “morality,” though they all possess deviant beliefs which renders them all “falling short of the glory of God.”

“Now, do you really believe that dismissing or even fighting a guy who is supporting a path that will bring people closer to God just because he is a Mormon is actually serving God? “

Of course, as what saith the scripture?

2Jn 1:10-11 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: (11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

And again,

2 Corinthians 11:12
And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.

Giving these people an appearance of being, somehow, equal with Christianity in no way supports our cause, but rather gives them ammunition to claim that they are Christian just like us, even as they drag souls to hell with their abominable teachings.

Those that fall for this brainwashing and accept deviant sexual behavior as normal have little chance of ever knowing God, and each deviant thing they accept takes them farther away.

And yet, the BOTTOM line reads...

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
