You made this statement show me one Christian that has said or even implied this. lds are not Christian as they believe god was once a man and you must work for your salvation (simply put).
HERE is the post.
(Note to Plutarch: I used the term "mormon defender" not "mormon" in attributing the term to you.)
You might have, but I didn’t have all the names and “faces” figured out yet. It was a rush :-)
Thanks!
It should be added to the Inman Historical Archive and Official Repository of Memorabilia, that before being named, there were many of us acting out of conviction and love - both - in witnessing to mormons here on FR and witnessing about the REAL Christ and the REAL Gospel of Grace.
Greyfoxx39 stepped up and became instrumental in organizing us as a team, for which I am thankful.
Though being a group with a distinct message, everyone is led by personal conviction and there is no coordination of WHAT is posted.
It’s a God thing.
blessings to all Inmans and mormons alike. May the mormons we witness to (posters and lurkers alike) come to know the Real Biblical Jesus Christ and His Gospel of Grace, which comes 100% apart from false worthiness.

Thanks, AMPU...but that really should read, "Colorcountry and Greyfoxx39 stepped up and became instrumental in organizing us as a team.
IIRC, CC and I worked together to find out who the FReepers were that were aligned in this mission...I just volunteered to be the "keeper of the ping list"...and the others were gracious enough to allow us to become "quasi-organizers" for the group. BTW, NO ONE alone makes any decisions for the Inmans...we are autonomous and the ping list is used as a clearing house of sorts for any group activity.
I am the more disorganized of the two of us. Without you, Greyfoxx, we would have been nothing.
I can’t believe how a big mustard plant grew out of those tiny seeds we planted years ago. Remember that first article you posted about Romney and his Mormonism, that got promptly yanked? Perhaps if we had been allowed to discuss then, in the same way we discuss today, the ramifications of the feelings against Mormonism and how they might affect a national politician, Romney would have been stopped much earlier.
I’ll never remain silent for the sake of political expediency....the heresy of Mormonism against real Christianity is too important to ignore.
Dittoes to that ampu
Well put.
ColorCountry, Elsie and then Greyfoxx39 were among those well out front in their boldness pre-Romney...and the Romney lies catalyzed many of us.
CC & especially GF served as our "glue" in the Lord...and MHGinTN, AMPU, p-Marlowe, FastCoyote, Tennessee Nana, Graybeard58 & then Zakeet & Godzilla & others significantly weighed in [I know I'm leaving a few out...sorry].
And even those who took us on now & then were being covered by the Lord of Love & Truth -- Szonian & Sentinel...both of whom left Mormonism through the convictions of the Holy Spirit.
We praise the Lord for you both!
We are indeed "autonomous" -- just like our God is diverse, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And we allow the Spirit to direct us, trusting that He wields us as one. Which He has!
And yet our Lord is One God, and eminates unity. I truly think that if the worldwide Body of Christ did this kind of ministry where we act as one under His direction, then who would need false ecuminism?...or media-created events seemingly/largely done for a "surfacy" show of unity.
Ah...
I had WONDERED why you have NEVER shown up at our secret get togethers using a little known function of FREEPMAIL: Party_Line.
We meet at a pre-arranged time monthly.
At the precise time of the Full Moon - GMT (or the astronomy UTM) we all log in and make our plans for the next fortnight.
Well, since "principle" was one of Joseph Smith's fave words...and "precept upon precept" is a fave Mormon phrase, I'm going to assume for the moment that you are Lds...please correct me if that is a false assumption.
Many people have been brought up in diverse Christian beliefs. Understood that you and yours consider LDS teachings non-Christian. Please demonstrate how Christ instructed us to castigate...Jews...
First of all, not all Jews...just certain ones...like highly legalistic ones!
[If you are Lds, have you engaged in the typical Mormon error of being so busy that reading the Pearl of Great Price, D&C, the BoM, & Mormon authors that you've neglected direct reading of the Bible?]
If so, here's a "short course" teaching for you as to how Jesus and the apostle Paul handled the legalistic Jews...be sure to also read the last graph -- as to how Jesus handled even the Saduccees, who weren't nearly as legalistic as the Pharisees:
Matt. 15:9: But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Matt. 16:12: ...guard against the yeast...against the TEACHING of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Luke 11:52: ... you have taken away the key to knowledge.
John 8:44,47: You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies…The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
I guess, JustAnotherOne, your “prophets” were off-base in directly countering Jesus that “ALL” people on earth are the Mormon god’s Kolobian bedroom-conceived offspring?
Mark 7:6-8,13: He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ 8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” …13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
Matthew 23:2-7, 13-34 : 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. 5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
The Apostle Paul to the Galatians:
1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? 4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is EVERYONE who does not continue to do EVERYTHING written in the Book of the Law.” (Gal. 3:1-6, 10)
Jesus to the Saducees:
Matt. 16:12: ...guard against the yeast...against the TEACHING of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
To the Sadducees: Jesus replied, “You are IN ERROR because you DO NOT KNOW THE SCRIPTURES OR THE POWER OF GOD. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you... (Matt. 22:29-31)
Yes.
(And we're surprised, AMPU that the moonshadow we've sent out to hunt you down hasn't lasoed you in, yet...after all, if disfellowshipping is the common cultic tactic, then forced fellowshipping is to be the common counter-cult tactic. :) )
