The Mormons thought them impudent and “saucy.”

Why is it you feel that calling out mormonISM is hate?
Why because they don’t. P mormons teach the price was paid in the garden not on the Cross, where you not aware of this?
mormons teach that Salvation is earned not of Grace IE “after all you can do”, where you not aware of this?
I counter your comment that grace is central to Mormon theology by quoting Mormon general authorities.
And what do you do? Instead of coming back with any counter argument, you launch into an ad hominen attack about some degree of "hate." (BTW, how do you determine that all critiques are hate-motivated when you can't see the inside of others' hearts? Do you use some magic urim & thummim rock or magic 8-ball or somethin?).
It's become way too typical of defenders of Mormonism. They can't answer the concerns raised. So they change the subject and launch their own attacks to brand others as "hateful" -- which if they were consistent in applying -- would = that their own comments, per their own standards, are themselves "hateful." [If it's "hateful" to critique; and you critique others; hence, your own personal standard condemns you...too many FREEPERS, especially a lot of non-Mormons defending Mormons, refute their own condemnations by engaging in the same behavior they condemn!]
Overall, your tactic isn't very nice.
Not very loving.
Doesn't stick to the issues.
Gets personal about persons they don't know.
Is a poor example for others to follow.
And leaves your lack of credibility obvious to all, thereby shooting your own respect-level in the foot, so to speak.
I suggest to you that if you're going to raise a theological claim; and somebody counters it with a counter-theological claim. Don't just come back with an ad hominen attack as a "hater."
It's not very becoming of the image the Lord originally had in mind for you.
Jesus never used the word "heretic".. but he did speak of sheep pens..
I see the sheep pens as holding tanks for those drunk on the wine of this life.. until they sober up..
After all when they listen to the voice of the "gate" calling them "OUT"(of the SP).. two choices..
They either come OUT.. or... STAY IN..
Quite a wonderful metaphor I would say... explains denominations(sheep pens)..
Is the Church of Latter Day Saints....--> a Sheep Pen?..
If you ask that... you're still a bit tipsy..
Because surely the Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and Presbyers are.. (and many others)..
Quite a wonderful mechanism I would say.. a self sorting mechanism..
Yeah!... the Mormons are just drunk, you know..
Stupefied, excited, or muddled with alcoholic liquor: besotted, crapulent, crapulous, drunken, inebriate, inebriated, intoxicated, sodden, tipsy, cockeyed, stewed, blind, bombed, boozed, boozy, crocked, high, lit (up), loaded, looped, pickled, pixilated, plastered, potted, sloshed, smashed, soused, stinking, stinko, stoned, tight, zonked.
You come out of the SP into Psalm 23..
Restornu has no gravitas.
Who knows but when I first was converted I too was like Beck and could see events unfold before they did in the world.
Now today the things Beck talked about on Nov 5, 2010 plus so many other things are unfolding as we speak on the Drudge Report!
Dollar’s Decline Speeds Up...
China planning to cut U.S. reserves by two-thirds?
Gold and silver continue to surge...
IMF: AGE OF AMERICA NEARS END

There are many of us out there with strong discernment!

Terrified, sums it up nicely.
He is entertaining but not really too smart.. as I see smartness..
But then.. who is?

Did you watch the video unless you will not appreciate the heads up!
the second video in that group is where they talk about the IMF
Worldly information wise I like him..
Spiritually he seems to me to be infantile..
I agree.
MHG, you state, Now why have a few of your decided to attack my FRiend hosepipe? Some have even insulted hosepipe by calling hosepipe 'a Mormon'!
Why would YOU attack MY FRiends when they are just responding to someone who is obviously just trying to disrupt the thread and insult those of us who are on it?
IMO, chastisement of this nature does little to encourage respect for either your FRiend OR yourself. Perhaps some judgment should be utilized in picking one's battles......AND loyalties.
Right, got it. And just so you’l know in the future, hosepipe is as far from being a Mormon as the Pope is. The style hosepipe uses may not suit some folks’ taste, but ganging up to insult hosepipe by calling hosepipe a Mormon is out of the bounds I would set. ... Nothing further follows
I heard Beck say the sun was going to come up tomorrow.
(No need to reply, as you have me on IGNORE.)
Yup; I discern that your steno typed this.
"Mother; I have learned discerned that PRESBYTERIANism is UNTRUE."
This won’t be an agument, because I’m not going to argue back. Doing so helps no one.
