You remember a few years ago when them desperadoes shot up the watertruck, killed the cop and hid in the 4 corners area?

I was camping at Devil’s (something) just sound of Monticello the NIGHT before that happened!

We found out when stopping for gas in town!

To answer your questions:

1. If your beliefs are correct what will it cost you? What will you gain? What’s the emotional payoff?

1a - My life, as I strive to live Gods commands daily
1b - My Life eternally, with God, like God as a God.
1c - Emotional? My payoff is real if you insist on calling it a payoff.

2. If your beliefs are not correct what will you lose? Are you diminished by losing? What is the cost, not only to you but to others?

2a - My life, but I will have lead a happy one, full of meaning, at least to me.
2b - I will not be diminished by losing as I will either be an honest soul who did his best, or not exist anymore.
2c - I will not have Cost anyone anything for I did not drive anyone from the truth, I invited people to what truth I had, right or wrong, that is a good thing.

3. If both of your beliefs are incorrect what will it cost you and others? Will you regret the time you have spent arguing?

3a - If my beliefs are incorrect, there are many on this forum arguing against me who are now worse off than if my beliefs were correct.
3b - No, it was fun.

Thanks for the interesting and thought provoking question!

Slow down, I said: If Anti-Mormon is correct then Anti-Orthodox Christian would be correct.
Notice the IF at the beginning of the sentence. I never said Anti-Mormon was correct.

Trying to be inflammatory by suggesting that members of the LDS Church could be referred to by the “nickname” of “anti-christ” is disgusting.

While...

Trying to be inflammatory by suggesting that EX-members of the LDS Church could be referred to by the “nickname” of “anti-mormon” is ... WHAT?

Consequently, 1) if Mormonism is true, the righteous non-Mormon Christian will receive eternal bliss in the Terrestial Kingdom (the conventional imagery of what heaven looks like) while the righteous Mormon becomes a God by Grace, in perfect union with the Godhead.

AHHhh, Edward, wasn't it you that made the distinction that those souls in the terrestial kingdom would not "associate with Christ"? And didn't someone dispute your interpretation of that being what Christians know as "Heaven"?

I have to leave now and don't have time to look up the posts...someone else will, I imagine.

God is. The great “I AM.” He was not born in time, then stepped out of time, then stepped back into time. First words of the Bible are “In the beginning God . . .” The multiverse concept makes nature the ultimate creator of God in the form of an uncreated universe, rather than reverse. Prior universes, extending back into infinities of other universes all creating Gods. Mormon theology has no first mover as I have been told by Edward, the chain of universes just extend back infinitely. Any created god is one the gods of wood and stone we are warned against in the Bible. Mormons do not worship God, but worship a god, a creation.

[Elsie]

It wouldn’t be accurate, would it?

Can't answer the question, for I have no way to read the mind of the poster; who could be lying, or not.

[Enosh]

"... the vast majority of whom lived and died without ever hearing about Christ."

The Bible answers this, Revelation 20:12. Your additional voodoo in unnecessary.

[Elsie]

Did you hear about the haunted liquor store??

It had beer, wine and spirits!

[Elsie]

Didn’t he get zapped in the end?

OUCH!

I bet THAT would leave a mark!

[Elsie]

Well... they COULD be; as in when yer corn gets low in the container, and you shake it, it RATTLES!

[DelphiUser]

Sushi? good for you? Mercury, lead and botulism
I take the seaweed for the minerals but tastes good? How? There are no saturated fats.(where real flavor comes from)

I'll take my fats in a nice T-Bone, make that a porterhouse. You can have all the hydrogenated stuff they put in things now days, I'll take stuff home cooked and fresh. Enjoy your chips, cookies and Buttered popcorn, I'll come to your funeral, just leave it in your will to post it here three days in advance.

Are you one of those that are cheered when movie theaters stopped using coconut and palm oils on the popcorn?

Yes, that was me you heard woohooing.

Maybe just maybe I was wrong about you.

Why? what conclusions am I obliterating now?

DU

[Elsie]

It must be one of those words with polarity: when used one way; it's offensive. When used another; it's a term of indearment.

You know; like the dreaded "N" word!

[Truth-Miner]

CC said: You would rightly call me anti-mormonISM, without the shortening right?

Correct but what anti word would the Mormons use? Anti-EstablishChristianOrthodoxyISM?

[MHGinTN]

A word of caution, brother. When you point to Rev 20:12 it is also important to note this Great Judgment has certain humans excluded from it, as in the Bride of Christ ... the Lambs Book of Life is not the book opened in Rev 20:12. The groupings that show up in Heaven is a deep study which will be used and has been used to sow confusion and carve out a niche for heresies.

[Elsie]

AHHhh, Edward, wasn't it you that made the distinction that those souls in the terrestial kingdom would not "associate with Christ"?

Yes!

And, he ALSO said...

... souls in the terrestial kingdom would "associate with Christ"?

[Elsie]

... what anti word would the Mormons use?

"I have learned for myself that Presbytarianism is false."

[colorcountry]

They just found the remains of one of them several weeks ago. I think that was the last of the three bodies to be recovered. They all died in the desert.

BTW, I’ve had Ghiardia and I would almost rather die.

[Enosh]

"A word of caution, brother. When you point to Rev 20:12 it is also important to note this Great Judgment has certain humans excluded from it, as in the Bride of Christ"

That is exactly correct, we'll already have been resurrected.

[colorcountry]

How about “anti-everything but us.”

LOL
