And yet, being the obsessive jerk you show yourself to be with nearly every post you make at FR, you continue to haunt the threads while insulting the moderators and the owner of FreeRepublic. Are we to suppose you’re so typical of an adherent to mormonISM?
LOL, what pure balderdash du. Lets compare the two shall we.
The bible and Jesus' teachings make it clear that the law of moses was completely fulfilled in Him.
What about mormonism? Lessee, discontinued the "everlasting covenant" because the president/prophet/seer of mormonism and all his cronies were facing arrest for continued violation of the law - shazam a 'revelation'.
Facing civil rights lawsuits out the wazzoo, and unable to find enough non-negros in Brazil to populate their temple - shazam, a 'revelation' that blacks could now hold the priesthood.
Hmmmmmmm revelation of a better relationship with God provided by Jesus compared to the response by man to the laws their church claims to uphold and sustain.
I'd stay off the RF completely. It has always been a place of great heat and little light. It is Christendom at its ugliest.
True debate cannot be had when one side has consistently used a protected class of thread to poke a stick in the eye of the other side with flagrant anti-Christian propaganda. That was the tipping point for JR. Perhaps you should visit this post by Jim again, DU.
As soon as the caucus exemption was removed, Paragon Defender posted more inflammatory threads and when they were met by responses from the Pro-Christian group, he and others resorted to the "nazi" labels.
IMO, you should face the fact that the admonition by Ezra Taft Benson to "Flood the Earth with the Book of Mormon" was not a license to now flood FR unquestioned and unrebutted with mormon fallacies.
Mormons have for centuries been so accustomed to seeing themselves as the only group that is permitted to proselytize that the resistance found now on the internet has them having tantrums such as we are seeing now because they don't have the free reign they believe is their right.
The millions of missionaries that have been sent out since the 1830s have not "marked" the whole world as mormon territory, specifically the internet world. Mormons are now finding themselves forced to play on a level playing field.
The attempt to fraudulently, as in the new lds.org website "rebrand" mormonism as being Christian is bringing more resistance that ever before. Get used to it and learn to debate here or as JR says, there are other sites to visit.
Wait a second...
Have you seen your FR home page?
It is one big Mormon is the "real" Christianity meme that denigrates and distorts true Christianity.
I mean I understand suspension of disbelief is a LDS requirement, but come on man...
I suspect a handler not a follower/TBM type LDS. The skills and presentation are different between the two.
[Courtesy ping to RM and JR because you’re mentioned]
Nah, I don’t buy it. If what one professed to believe in was worth fighting for, they’d take any opportunity to fight for it, regardless of any perceived handicaps imposed on the field.
The “rules” are quite clear, the RF RM does a fine job of moderating. Playing within those rules seems to have worked for many other groups. Why do the mormons feel they are entitled to be treated any differently in a debate?
The “ultimate moderator” [JR] may have “chosen sides”, but again, he hasn’t stopped mormons from posting comments or threads. Continuing to insist or imply that he has revoked posting priviledges is deceitful. He only revoked Caucus protection. That mormons choose not to post is not JR’s fault, it’s theirs.
That has been made clear time and time again and was self-evident because PD continued posting LdS articles for sometime until he crossed the line and got zotted.
It was clear to me that PD felt quite comfortable posting, his comments are a case study in just how comfortable he was and what he thought of his “opponents”.
Amen Brother!
See when debate occurs points are brought up, when the points brought up by one party are shown beyond the doubt of the reasoned and willing mind to be lacking then the points are ceded and debate ends.
Now if the side proven wrong refuses to acknowledge the obvious after an even battle on your proverbial “level playing field”, when the point continues to be made in the very face of overwhelming evidence and proof against it, it is no longer debate, it is comedy.
I am sure the Nephites would see it the same way.
If they had existed.
[snicker]
That has got to be the most contrived and synthetic reason I have ever heard.
If we are adults about the conversation and ones faith in their faith is strong enough, you should be able to have a reasonable discussion.
And if it gets spirited sometimes, well....So what?
Nobody’s a baby around here.
Stake out your position and have a little fun.
Try to demystify what is a secret or misunderstanding to those who do not understand.
Seems pretty reasonable to me.
You can’t claim to not knowing any false prophesies.
You can, just ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist and that is what you are doing.
I get it, really. I mean, what else are you going to do?
To acknowledge a false prophecy would undermine your faith and who the heck wants to change something so core to their sanity and identity.
I sure wouldn’t.
But false prophesies do exist, you have knowledge of them and choose to sweep them under the carpet or lock them in a closet so they won’t be revealed.
LOL
Boo freking hoo. Don’t get in on the RF discussions if you don’t like PD.
“Thank you for letting those of us who have made the eternal covenants to stand as witnesses of God as Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints do so here at Free Republic.”
“eternal covenants” - Which are not mentioned in the Bible.
“witnesses to God” - Which one? One of the 4 mormon earth gods, or perhaps one of the billions of other mormon gods?
“witness” - proselytizing to a false religion.
When was that? Just posting links doesn't count.
It would be an exchange if lds defended what they profess to believe rather than whine and cry how abused they are.
