Being excommunicated for apostasy by the Mormon church is one thing, but Lyndon Lamborn is livid that his stake president has ordered bishops in eight Mesa wards to take the rare step of announcing disciplinary action against him to church members today. "I thought if he could go public, so can I," said Lamborn, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who said his research into church history gave him "thousands of reasons the church can't be what it claims to be."
Stake President R. James Molina acknowledged Friday he intends to have Lamborn's excommunication announced to the wards at men's priesthood meetings and womens Relief Society gatherings, even with Lamborn now taking his case public. Molina, as well as officials at church headquarters in Salt Lake City, call such a public warning about an ousted member extremely rare. They say, however, church members must be protected from what discordant ex-followers may say to damage the church...................

Um, that’s why I used italics for the part that is from me not from the Bible. Nice try though ...
It is obvious, from your non-response, that you don't want to tackle this theological question.
That's ok; I'll not press you any farther, but know this: if you are going to challenge others on THEIR posting of Scripture - you've now left a trail showing your ignorance of it.
You are mistaken.

I think we are being called derelict in our duty for not doing this.....
YOU were citing a creed to which I do not subscribe, and then berating both me and the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You never cited any scripture in support of this “creed”. It is your “creed”, not mine. Defend it if you can!
Thank you for sharing your insights!
The only reasonable response under the conditions imposed is that I am without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief about the veracity of the letters.
Cordially,
Sorry, OMM; that's not how it works.
You see, you are defending Mormonism.
I am showing the FOUNDATION of it all: that Joseph Smith claims that God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and said, "Their creeeds are an ABOMINATION to me!"
That statement is what the entire LDS organization is built upon.
ANYONE who tries to support and defend that organization should know, at the very least, WHY it came into existance.
Therefore, I ask you one more time...
What is so ABOMINABLE in that creed??
“It isn’t like he has a fatwa against him.”
[Yea, try living in Utah and say that. Sorry but the Mormons pretty much run or have a hand in everything here and one could easily be black balled in this state.]
I live in Vegas and have many of the same experiences. Pretty hard to tell people about it here without being called an “anti-Mormon Bigot”.
Amen.......
thanks for the ping
I can’t see opposing Romney based on his religion when there are SO many other, more valid reasons to do so.
I have problems with the judgment of someone who believers the nonsense of Mormonism.
You are a class act DelphiUser.
They'll send you a cd that proclaims it if you request it though.
For me, it is the attitude of those that wave around a false creed and demand that I subscribe to it to be a Christian. Thou hypocrite!

“I have problems with the judgment of someone who believers the nonsense of Mormonism.”
Would you like to see a law passed that stated that only mainstream Christian candidates may be elected President?
