Why so many LDS threads?

As I said, I’m not going to trade scriptures with you. If you can interpret John 10: 16 as telling us that Jesus visited North America, you can pour any meaning into any verse.

For a sky pilot, that was a pretty low blow. Obviously, you took it personally. Shame on you.

Wow. That was a pretty pathetic attempt to turn the tables.

Care to try again?

It isn't me who is comparing Christians to pigs. It was the LDS poster who started this thread.

You don't dictate what offends me, or does not. Neither I you.

If you don't like that, you are fully empowered to leave. Free Republic participation is voluntary. But if something is posted here, everyone knows their ideas, words, and arguments are open to challenge. That is why this is a discussion forum.

Homepage: My Mormon name is Monteray Faunice!

Should we call you this from now on?

[Elsie]

My job is to clearly articulate MY understanding of scripture, not to judge whether someone else has reached an understanding.

Yup; we can't do much more than this.

[Elsie]

As for Scientology, I think that religion is whacked. Made up by a weirdo. :)

 

 

 

Scientology is a newer religion than Mormonism...
	Don't make fun of them, they have a right to have their moronic beliefs respected.

[Elsie]

There were vineyards in So. Utah to make their own sacramental wine.

What happened to them?

WHY do you guys drink WATER instead?

[DManA]

It’s not the only doctrine that matters. It is the doctrine that most clearly points out the vast difference between Christians and Mormons.

[Monkey Face]

You can call me anything you want, and you obviously will. But that won’t change who I am. Mormon-bashers, when not able to draw a Mormon into a “debate” usually head for the home page and find something there to get nasty about.

No personal attacks, remember? Aren’t we all FRiends?

Amazing what happens when we turn the other cheek. You should try it sometime. :o])

Have a really GOOD day!

I'm not interpreting, he said it himself.

3 Nephi 15:
11 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he said unto those twelve whom he had chosen:
12 Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people, who are a remnant of the house of Joseph.
13 And behold, this is the land of your inheritance; and the Father hath given it unto you.
14 And not at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell it unto your brethren at Jerusalem.
15 Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes of the house of Israel, whom the Father hath led away out of the land.
16 This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto them:
17 That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
18 And now, because of stiffneckedness and unbelief they understood not my word; therefore I was commanded to say no more of the Father concerning this thing unto them.
19 But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that they know not of you.
20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father separated from them; and it is because of their iniquity that they know not of them.
21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the gentiles; for they understood not that the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching.
23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice; and they understood me not that the gentiles should not at any time hear my voice—that I should not manifest myself unto them save it were by the holy Ghost.
24 But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.

But, I'd still be interested in references to one in substance?

[Elsie]

I can do whatever I want but I want to follow the Word of Wisdom. I have no idea why that ticks you off.

 

 

 

Perhaps these will aid your understanding.

 

Acts 10:9-16
   9.  About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 
 10.  He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
 11.  He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
 12.  It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.
 13.  Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."
 14.  "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
 15.  The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
 

 

1 Timothy 4:1-3

 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
 3.  They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

NO Mormon that I know has ever even brought up the subject of them being Mormon except if its a direct question....

They don't come to your door in two's?

[DManA]

AppyPappy gave you one and you rejected it.

3 Nephi 15 - Christians believe the Book of Mormon is a fraud.

Get ready to HIEMLICH!

You'll CHOKE folks on that Mormon Meat!

[Elsie]

Members of the Church ‘believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.’

[sevenbak]

I showed you many references to them being one in purpose not substance. You too rejected them.

This is why none of this back and forth matters, we each hold to what we consider the truth.

Only God gives truth, and that is by the power of his spirit. One day, hopefully, you can find it in your heart to let others worship the God of truth their way without denying them the identity of discipleship to the Savior of mankind.
Have a good day.

The first person to use the word "bigotry" loses.

NAZI!!!
