Have I not been for years asking why folks who claim to love the Lord have a hard time letting those of other faiths live according to the dictates of their own conscience.

Loving others includes not letting them go on a self-destructive course to hell. People care whether you end up in hell or not. Telling them the truth is not *hate*.

If we knew you had cancer and we had a cure for it, would you accuse us of *hate* for telling you we had something to help you when you were already doing something else that you thought would help but didn't? Would that be hate?

Is not the most important thing to get along is to strive to live the Ten Commandments.

NO! It's to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself and to know Christ and Him crucified.

Jesus didn't mince words with the Pharisees when He called them white washed tombs, all bright and shining on the outside and full of rottenness and dead men's bones on the inside. How would Mormons react if someone talked to them like that, using Jesus' own words?

People can offer or share but the other person also has the right to accept or move on.

Then why all the complaints to the mods and accusations of *hate* from the mormons? It doesn't seem that they have any problem telling others that they're wrong. Is it only Mormons who can tell others they think the others are wrong but nobody can tell Mormons that they think Mormons are wrong.

It works both ways.

Only if your reply was that simple to my quest but sadly it is not.

I have no interest in belittling or making lite of another’s faith for I hold dear it means something to them, yet before I know it I cast into this situation that is between a rock and a hard place damn if you do and damn if you don’t.

Some times in order to defend ones post one is put into a position of clipping wings of their opponent which could have been avoided altogether if the children of the Lord would adherer to

Matt 5

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
