“self referencing”
Wow. I just sat on the kitchen counter for an hour calling myself a toaster, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a piece of toast. No matter how hard lds try to call themselves Christians mormonISM is not Christianity.

Did anyone wander into your kitchen and say, "Wow...what are you doing on the counter? You look ridiculous."?

You know i misssed all this diologue what one can see with fresh eyes!

Sometimes just being PD is enough to attacked anothers belief.

This nasty spirit is prevace all over the planet.

It called Pride (the antis have enmity towards the LDS)

To some the pain is so great they need to get good off the map!

this was such a powerful talk I still recall today

Beware Of Pride

Pride is a very misunderstood sin, and many are sinning in ignorance.(See Mosiah 3:11; 3 Nephi 6:18.) In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride — it is always considered a sin. Therefore, no matter how the world uses the term, we must understand how God uses the term,we must understand the language of holy writ and profit thereby. (See 2Nephi 4:15; Mosiah 1:3-7; Alma 5:61.)

Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness,arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing.

The central feature of pride is enmity — enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen. Enmity means “hatred toward, hostility to, or a state of opposition.” It is the power by which Satan wishes to reign over us.

Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God’s. When we direct our pride toward God, it is in the spirit of “my will and not thine be done.” As Paul said, they “seek their own,not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.” (Philippians 2:21.)

Our will in competition to God’s will allows desires, appetites, and passions to go unbridled. (See Alma 38:12; 3 Nephi 12:30.)

The proud cannot accept the authority of God giving direction to their lives. (See Helaman 12:6.) They pit their perceptions of truth against God’s great knowledge, their abilities verses God’s priesthood power, their accomplishments against his mighty works.

Our enmity toward God takes on many labels, such as rebellion, hard-heartedness,stiff-neckedness, unrepentant, puffed up, easily offended, and sign seekers.The proud wish God would agree with them. They aren’t interested in changing their opinions to agree with God’s.

In all due respect when I read this an simular things like it it reminds me of what is going on today clearer than it ever has been what the progressives are doing and when those who are being put upon try to express how it feels the progressives take delight it turing one words against them!

Not saying you do if you are the honorable RM

I just tasted the bittern end so many times and am amazed at wrong behavior trying to pass it self off as Good and getting a free pass!
