I have removed the caucus designation from exactly two LDS threads in recent memory, both were posted by Paragon Defender. I did a search on “LDS Caucus” and he seems to be the primary poster of the vast majority of them. He seems to be spamming the forum with them. And if he and or his compatriots choose to continue violating my trust, I will either continue removing them or will suspend the LDS Caucus designation privilege altogether on FR.

they are going to Hell by attending a temple or Mosqu’e because that has been part of there culture

I KNOW you can't possibly be saying that a Christian should just play along while people worship a false god. Just so they can hang out with theri homies.

Oh wait, that's mind reading. OK, ARE you saying that?

No I don’t think he was out to CONVINCE other’s who he was by the standards of Man’s proof of GOD....

There you go!

Other 'answers' for 'who He was' had already been given. Jesus didn't waste His time saying WHY those answers were not right (or wrong), but used this LAST answer to show that the Holy Spirit would be the one confirming the TRUTHFULNESS of the answer to the 'question'.


All that said, how does one determine whether the Holy Spirt 'really' gave the answer or some lameo impersonator PERSONAGE did?

Delph BTW, I am a descendant of Abraham with the genealogy to prove it. [Delphi user]

Reaganaut Oh guys. Get a load of THIS claim. ROFLMAO

Laugh all you want, It's true.

Once you get to a Jew who has their genealogy back to Abraham, or anyone else like the Plantagenets, you buy the book and copy the genealogy, and poof, your back to Adam. (We had to buy a book).

When Christians lower their swords against each other and wield them against the one who it is intended for, then the true purpose for the sword is found. Scripture indicated that It is most certainly not intended for other Christians.

The Bible is rightly called the Sword of the Spirit.

In the case of the subject here, it is being wielded against a false religion.

It is not being wielded against Christians, but a belief system that now (in the beginning of the LDS all Christianity was dismissed by Joseph Smith as an abomination and false) professes to be mainstream Christian, but believes in a different jesus.

Really really scratch the Mormon surface and you will find, they do NOT believe that the God revealed in the Hebrew scriptures is the god that they believe in, in fact, I have seen Him cursed on this site by an angry Mormon. They believe that no one goes to heaven thru Christ but *thru Joseph Smith* and, you have to have a password. Bottom line,they worship a man, Joseph Smith and a made up theology that just does not stand up when closely examined. When it dissolves into absurdity, the posters get angry because it cannot be defended.

God also promises in the bible that He will never, never, let His Word see corruption, and not only is this His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, but the Holy Bible.

Mormons also hate Paul because his words condemn them. They believe in "another Jesus", one who was revealed to them by an angel of light.

Is it your contention that I should spend less time with the KJV and more with the JST?

NO no no no no no no no no no....

1. The CONTENTION is the LDS Articles of Faith casts DOUBT on the translation purity of the KJV bible.

2. JS backs UP this doubt by TRANSLATING (wink-wink nudge-nudge) the KJV into the JST AS ORDERED by GOD!

3. The LDS religious organization, based in Salt Lake City, USES the KJV; doubts and all.

4. The LDS religious organization, based in Salt Lake City, does NOT consider the JST to be SCRIPTURE, even though (see #2)


Clearer now?

What good does a made up claim do you? Unless you are (the real) Christ’s seed, you are dead in your sins.

I am saying, I have reached out to people myself, with the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ not by bashing thier religions and threats of them going to *Hell* but by presenting the Jesus Christ of the Holy Scriptures with
Kindness, Understanding, Compassion and truth of GOD and if they are open...As Jesus said:

Let those who have *ears to hear* and thier hear...t hears then the Holy Spirit will do the rest....

We cannot convince anyone of the Love and Salvation of Christ, only Jesus can do that...What we can do is be good Stewards of the Gospel and walk as Christ did....

Jesus did not walk the earth with a ruler in his hands slapping people in the head, threatening them with hell and damnation...

Is it possible to have a thread titled simply 'Caucus', as in 'Catholic Caucus' thread, or 'Mormonism Caucus' thread, and not have any other wording show up unless a person clicks on that caucus link?

BTW, I can see why certain cults are not allowed a Caucus status, and that is a calculated thing. Once a caucus is established, the rel guidelines are not to be tampered with, and the one posting this thread was seeking to inflame which is a direct violation of the caucus rules. Could the title have been available only to those who click the thread?

Thank you, I am just wondering if there is a sensible compromise which would not cause stinkies to have a reason to stink things up like invincibly ignorant loves to do, or magritte enjoys tweaking.

Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ

"..To: Ripliancum

Not at all. Just having a hard time accepting some of their threads (like this one for example) that I find extremely offensive. I’m at the point that I’m not going to allow any protected LDS/Mormon Caucus threads on FR. You can’t post offensive stuff like this and expect Christians not to object to it. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to suspend or ban or deny any Christian from objecting to what he believes is the false prophecy of Joseph Smith. Whether Mormons will feel welcome here after this or not is completely up to them individually.

So, do Mormons still have the right to post appropriate Caucus threads?

Many are interested in a clear position.

Nice editing.

IIRC, The poster in question had said they received an answer one way, then another, I was asking for clarification, It turned out they were simply telling two stories that didn't match up.

You can pay your tithing all day long to your church. I give all, my everything, to my Lord and His Church - it is ALL His!!

Then tithing is not a problem is it?

FWIW, I feel the same way

Please link a post by me where I threatened to ban Mormons.

MORMONs have a reading comprehension problem.

After reading the mormonCAUCUS elimination reply, way back when, automatically ASSUMED that EVERYTHING they hold 'precious' would be taken away from them.
