Written by a local ex-Mormon Christian friend of mine: —
This is the Christ of Mormonism:
1. He lives as a humanoid god on a star near Kolob along with his father god, bound by the physical world; he does not transcend the material.
2. He is the brother of satan.
3. He had to earn his own salvation while he was on earth.
4. He offers his “grace” only to those who work hard enough.
5. He is not from everlasting to everlasting, but was created a finite time ago by his father god, who in turn was also created by his own father god, who in turn was created by his own father god, so on and so forth
6. He is not the greatest being possible.
7. He is finite.
8. His blood is not powerful enough to wipe away any sin.
9. He aided his father in creating earth by organizing already existing matter; he is not capable of creating things out of nothing.
10. He must submit to a moral law that existed before he did.
11. You can one day become just like him.
This is the Christ of the Bible:
1. He is a spirit being that transcends space and time.
2. He is the brother of no creature; He is God, from everlasting to everlasting. No one can claim kinship with Him except those He purchased for Himself on the cross. And He is not the same type of creature they are. He is not a creature, He is God.
3. Jesus is the Author of Salvation; to say that He needed to earn His salvation is absurdity.
4. He offers His sovereign grace to whomever He sovereignly chooses; we are all tainted by sin and vile in His holy eyes. Therefore, no one is more worthy than any other human being. Thus, His grace that He offers is given unconditionally. His grace is true grace, a beautiful gift.
5. He is from everlasting to everlasting. He was never created, and Has been in relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever.
6. He is the greatest being possible, the Most High God. There is no one like Him and there is no one who will ever be anything like Him.
7. He is infinite, both in essence and in His divine perfections.
8. His blood is powerful enough to wipe away any sin, regardless of heinousness and duration. The only sin that cannot be forgive is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; and this is not because the blood of Christ is not powerful enough to wash it away, but because God has so sovereignly decreed that all persons who blaspheme the Holy Ghost should not receive forgiveness.
9. He created everything that exists out of nothing by the mere word of His mouth.
10. There is no external law that He submits to; He is the Author and the Source of the Law.
11. No one can ever come near to obtaining the glory and excellency of Christ.

How cool is THAT!?
Fresh meat.
THEY don't know from whence thou cometh.
Don't you have some Jews to tell they got WAY too many rules to follow?
You are TOO kind, Fellow Flying Inman!
Freepmail ME; as I sure have no limitations in THAT department!
I've plenty of 2*4's in case THIS one breaks or wears out!
AMEN!
You may want to prepare a snack and get a drink; for this is going to last MUCH longer than that.
Yeah. Always jumping in to bash the detestable "Evangelicals".
LOL
Way to create a statement out of thin air!
| Maybe you can point out to this “knucklehead” where EXACTLY I or anyone else here has denied them or anyone their 1st amendment right and or “abused” them? They post on FR, proseletyze or knock on doors about their religion claiming it is THE Christianity, telling me that I follow a WHORE of a church and I’m supposed to remain silent on the matter? You all better think again, because it ain’t gonna happen. That some on FR get their knickers in knot over this is a good thing to see because it just demonstrates one of two things; either abject ignorance about mormonism or thinly veiled bigotry to those who resist mormonism’s advances. |
"Mother; I've learned for myself that PRESBYTERIANism is untrue."
I think you’ve lost your head...
Ah, the bold-faced part above must be heaven-on-earth for Mormons. No bothersome questions.
(Now I understand why the Mormon HQ sent that worldwide circular last late October -- telling the Mormon faithful to stop asking them questions)
Heavenly Father doesn’t think so.
Maybe if Kevin just self banned himself...would the thread iq AVG automatically leap in bounds?
Of course, if he banned himself, he'd probably be mumbling somewhere about some censor-tyrant infringing upon his rights.
Surely...Els...you've just haven't kept up with your daily 'scripture' readings...First Ichabod 3:16
Is this the guy who...
was once a man?
hasn't been eternally a man or God (eternal past)?
inherited a wife? (or inherited a harem?)
came down & got Mary pregnant "rather than let any other man do it" (Brigham Young's quoted words, not mine)?
and won't let any unmarried or non-temple Mormon live with him forever?
(You know, ICHY, the once who discriminated priesthood & temple status for 148 years due to skin color and had trouble convincing Brigham for over 20 years that he wasn't Adam.)
This is what I thought was abusive, but obsesively attacking someone else's religion is also abuse.
A question, not necessarily addressed to you:
Why is an atheist on the "Religion Forum"? They claim to have no religion, could it be that atheism is their religion?
Are you familiar with the story of the Rosary, Lourdes, or that of the Apostle Paul?
