Actually, I’m not carrying the water for anybody on this thread.

Actually, you are.

We are too busy throwing people off the boat.

Why don't you lighten the load and jump ship?

Would you like a free copy of the Book of Mormon?

You don’t have to reply. Nothing compells you to continue.

You want to save people, in my opinion you don’t do it by casting judgment on those you have never met, on declaring people “christian” or “non-christian” as if God has appointed you his arbitor.

As you stepped into the middle of a conversation, I’ve cut you a lot of slack in your intemperate remarks. Plus, your responses have made me not particularly interested in getting your agreement or understanding.

But history would be your guide to understanding. Some have suggested a littany of things that must be true for a person to be saved. Those littanies appeared to be more than what the Bible literally teaches is necessary for salvation.

People used their criteria to pronounce judgment on people they don’t know, based on the rather useful criteria that those people had joined a church which, while professing to be christian, was not in fact christian.

Oddly, I’ve had the same argument with people who get upset when I claim that people who join the Catholic church could actually be Christians, even though they are members of the Catholic church.

The argument goes a lot like the ones here, and they like you will sometimes suggest that if I like it so much, I should join the Catholic church.

My mormon friends would have a good laugh over the suggestion that I carry the water for their religion.

You may think you are cute with your offers of a free book of Mormon. But if you truly believed what you have spouted off about this past day, you would be condemning yourself by even taken the slim chance someone might take you up on the offer, and by following your link be lead astray into the wrong path.
