Yep. Either the Bible is the Word of God or it isn’t. You don’t fit the Bible to your doctrine. It is the other way around.

I’ve tried to hold normal discussions, but people let their dogma get in the way of the truth of the Bible.

When the Bible doesn’t jive with their trained notions, they turn to outside sources to justify their continued beliefs in non-Biblical doctrines.

The Trinity is my personal favorite. I always ask them to give me their best 3 Trinity proving Bible verses. They either don’t or if they do they simply ignore the devastating proofs contrary to their beliefs.

It is baffling that a conservative site, founded on the search for truth, goes liberal when it comes to religion. There’s way more heat than light on the religion forum.

If you want to believe whatever go ahead, but if you want to discuss it do so like an adult and be ready to follow the truth where it leads. I don’t post much there anymore, although there’s one or two thoughtful FReepers that are worth conversing with.

But, the Anti-Mormon crowd are like talking to a tantrum’d 2 y.o. who’s holding a loaded shotgun - turns out worse than you ever expect.

eee-yeah.

The Mormons are Anti-Christian.

Otherwise why would there be a need for a restored church and the damnation of all other religions as Apostates and Whores of Babylon?

That is their doctrine and they are out to tell all of Christendom they are in error.

The hilarious part is they spent the last 150 years telling us that and that want nothing to do with Christianity and now all of the sudden they are Christian.

Notice I use the possessive “I am Christian” as they objectify the term, out of context and implicit in their statement is you are not.

No Christian would that phrase but they need to mainstream their religion and doctrine.

Any other Christian would say I am a Christian(part of the larger body of Christ) or We are Christians or even, We are Christians too.

The difference is subtle but it’s there and it makes a huge difference.

Do not your words above exactly describe mormonism?
