Of course, in your three previous posts to this one I’m responding to — on the two threads I posted today...
...did you even say a single word about the perpetrators — let alone address either one in any kind of way?
Do you really expect me (or anyone else who reads these boards regularly) to believe that your concern and reason for posting these was simply about victims and perpetrators and had absolutely nothing to do with your anti-Mormon activism that is on display here pretty much non-stop?
Really? Seriously?
Several times on threads dealing with Mormonism I have made it plain & clear that Mormons are NOT our enemies! I have cited the apostle Paul's verse in Ephesians how our enemy is NOT flesh & blood.
I consider my enemy to be the enemy of our souls...and I believe he takes many captive -- both those who claim the identity of "Mormon" as well as many who claim a "Christian" identity.
So to answer your Q, yes, and I have been consistent on labeling those grassroots Mormons as lackeys to the god of this world as "victims" -- of which I have so much concern that I believe God has formed a variety of ways to convey to Mormons the full Good News application of that great rescue mission that took place on Calvary (NOT in the garden).
Furthermore, on many, many Lds threads I have made distinctions between Lds false prophets & leaders vs. grassroots Mormons. I consider these false prophets & leaders to be spiritual perpetrators ... who prey upon the grassroots (the victims).
YOU are the one who claim I am "anti-Mormon." I, in fact, may be "anti-Mormon leaders" -- some more than others -- but I am FOR the Mormon, especially the grassroots Mormon...FOR his or her liberation...FOR his or her salvation via a living, vital PRESENT relationship with the ONE TRUE God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent (John 17:3). And even with living Mormon leaders -- I realize that, they, too are often "victims" of the Evil one, who claims to be theirs -- and yours -- "elder spiritual brother."
The fact, PD, that he has fought his way into your worldview constellation to earn your right to be called your "elder spiritual brother" is quite telling to his level of control in your life -- and many Mormons!
All along I've been consistent. The same pattern has been there for any one who has ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit has said through me: That you, PD, are NOT my enemy...That you, too, are a victim who's been preyed upon by others...and that most of my frankness about the state of things falls upon those spiritual predators and perpetrators who have held others in spiritual bondage.
