Do we have a SECOND Resty here? I though she was the only one who lectured via Bible verses!

You II, this isn’t the first thread you’ve jumped in only to make personal insults to posters and try to hijack the thread into making it personal against other freepers. IIRC the RM has warned you not to do this in the past and has put you out of threads for the same. II, this is becoming trollish on your part and I request that the RM make it clear to you the same.

..Mormons, Christians and even Islam has the OT and Abraham as the base of their religions. If we look back at some of the shenanigans Abraham and Moses pulled off in the OT while they were in Egypt, it’s clear they all were corrupt.

Thank you for your support.

I insist that posters like Invincibly Ignorant who are neither Mormon nor anti-Mormon must have some theological context to their posts. Coming onto a thread to support one side or the other with nothing but ad hominems is flame baiting.

Thank you for making this perfectly clear (again).

Freedom and salvation in Christ is what I have discovered in Mormonism.

I fear you are getting sucked into a

[reaganaut]

Actually, the Mormons have the Book of Mormon as the basis of their religion, the OT is mostly ignored except for cherry picking verses.

And they weren’t corrupt - they were HUMAN.

Don’t tell me you never made a mistake or did something stupid.

[reaganaut]

That is impossible.

Mormonism chains a person to legalism. There is no freedom in Christ. There can’t be with all the rules and regulations Mormonism throws at its members. Mormonism teaches a ‘laundry list’ to gain salvation. Do you need me to post it? It is in the current Gospel Principles Manual.

And what is that ‘salvation’? exaltation?

I’ve been there, I know the difference and you may believe that it is what you have found but the real thing is SO very much better.

You have your work cut out for you and I appreciate it, i’m not sure I could do what you do.

I agree that you do a sterling job, RM...however I sometimes have the desire to "do what you do" for about five minutes...;0) (j/k)

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Actually you couldn't be more correct. I became born again, a new creation in Christ, the night of October 23rd, 1995.

Impressive. How can you know so much already? :-)

[reaganaut]

The fact that you state that you found it in “MORMONISM” shows you do not have it.

Freedom is found ONLY in CHRIST, no church ever.

Jesus didn’t set up a denomination, he set up a body of believers, and certainly NOT Mormonism.

LOL

[Invincibly Ignorant]

No thanks. Don’t really want what you have, or claim to have.

[reaganaut]

If Jesus was leading you out of Mormonism, would you go? Or would you rather stay LDS regardless?

Who is more important to belong to? Christ or Mormon Church?

Would you follow Christ, would you seek the TRUTH, at ANY cost, even your Mormon religion?

Because I did. I didn’t want to leave Mormonism, I loved it and thought I was blessed by it, but I wanted the truth, I wanted Christ no matter the cost. And the cost was my Mormonism.

[greyfoxx39]

it’s clear they all were corrupt.

Sources? Links?

R, why are you playing this fool's game, you are way too smart to be wasting your time like that.

Just walk away, that is the best response to those only interested in stirring the pot.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
