i am discussing, you are attacking me. I know liberals don’t like free speech, but someone who is conservative? What about “in my opinion” don’t you understand. If you feel i am violating TOS, explain where and i will consider it. I see nothing in my postings which violate any rules. My point is the a lot of posters attacking LDS’s for holding novel doctrines unheard of for 1,800 years, hold different novel doctrines unheard of for 1,500 years. I know you don’t like that, but it happens to be true. You may be one, i don’t know and i certainly can’t read your heart ( whatever that means, sounds like a liberal concept to me ) Joseph Smith taught the Church needed to be “restored” since it did not exist, many on here who attack Mormons will hold to this belief 300 years before Joseph Smith said it. Both beliefs are un-Biblical. Am i entitled to say that or do i need to include the word “cult” in my post so as not to be accused of “hijacking the thread”?
Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against the Church, Elder McConkie disagrees. I’ll stick with Jesus on this one!
I think you neglected to read the rules of the Religion Forum which I posted in post 51.
Check them out.
In my opinion, you have made several generalized accusations against the FReepers posting here without providing any kind of documentation for your claims. To quote you, "sounds like a liberal concept to me"....just throw the words "conservatives" and Republicans" into your rants and MSNBC might hire you.
That is true. I have seen an amazing number of people on these threads who I had never seen before.
Hey, Who Are You Calling a Cult?
The LDS Church is less of a cult than many of the religions that accuse it of being one. (Orson Scott Card, Mormon apologist)
This is the same guy...
Speaking of his acquaintance Hugh Nibley, Card said that as a young man, he thought to himself:
“the epiphany I had as a child: If someone this smart, this rigorous of thought, this widely and deeply educated, believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is true, and the Church is God’s kingdom on earth, then I will not let myself get swept away by whatever questions come up during my life. I’ll question my questions, I’ll doubt my doubts, confident that one way or another, everything will be reconciled.”

i did read it, and would oppose you being booted for being “thin skinned”
Whoaa man! FIRST PRESLEYTERIAN CHURCH of ELVIS THE DIVINE ???
Back off. He’s the King!
Saw the Elvis show in Vegas this week and it was “ehhh, so, so, so.”
Wasn’t bad but wasn’t memorable either.
The show “Beatles” was an amazing show.
Weird thing is, I grew up listening to Elvis, still do and love his music.
Grew up without really ever hearing the Beatles and only became familiar with their work and personalities over the last 20 years.
Go figure.
IBTZ
I thought it was the planet Zogg, bit Kolob is OK.
Mormons (I know a lot of them and love Glenn Beck, as a disclaimer) have four fundamental issues I think are strange:
1) The Kolob (Zogg) UFO thingy
2) All of them are Masons (Smith, Brigham Young, etc.) not a deal killer, but interesting
3) The underwear thing
4) The Book of Mormon, which is kind of a third part of the Bible, and what they focus on, vs. Old and New Testament.
I want the Mormons on our side, they are a good voting block for the Red Team, but they are not my cup of tea.
You are a whack job and a shill.
Especially since tea drinking is against their religion, LOL.
care to elaborate????
LOL...I don’t think you meant that for me, Vendome.
Brilliantly stated. I can think of nothing that shows more clearly what a fairy tale Mormonism is. The Kolob thing is absolutely true and well documented, and they can’t explain it away.
Welcome to FRee Republic n00bie...
I agree with you...
The LORD Jesus Christ who is God when speaking of His Bride, the Body of Christ, His Body as He is the Head of the Church, said, “on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
and neither Hell nor anything else has ever taken the Church away or destroyed her...
nor has the Church ever needed to be “restored”
not in 2,000 years...
The LORD Jesus Christ is a Bridegroom who loves and cherishes His Bride and can be trusted and relied upon to keep her safe and protected from the wolves..
and never lose her, neglect her, forget her, drop her misplace her or allow her to be stolen away...
Uh, suddenly you aren’t worried about TOS violations, you think they are funny!
NOpe.
Pretty convenient screen name, sign up date and giving generalizations. I am calling IBTZ and we’ll see how much longer the troll hangs around.
I think it’s a retread.
AMEN!!!
a nice cuppa
thats what this thread needs...
popcorn is OK but right now a cup of Tea would hit the spot...
:)
Sure, as soon as you start elaborating or expanding your statements with qualified proof.
Your generalizations, the convenient handle you took and the subject you chose to take on lead me to think you are a retread and/or a shill.
Personally I think you are LDS and using typical arguments of undermining and equivocation. But you don’t seem to keen on examining the subject matter at hand.
