I am only defending their right to privately practice as they so choose, again within our laws, which you seem to have a problem with. Your “projection” smacks of disapproval of anyone who believes differently from you.
Your predication of “lds” before God and before Jesus Christ is your opinion and in such caries about as much weight as does their beliefs which are their opinion, no matter what the H it is.
So if you are so exercised about having anything to do with the mention of lds in the arena of public debate then go ahead and vote for your Homey Barry because he needs all the help he can get from those who are so friggin tolerant, in their opinion.
Ok, your post is projecting on me what I did not say.
mormons are free to practice their belief, I never said otherwise it is their constitutional right.
The information I provided is correct, if you would like to see their leaders words or their BofM or D&C quotes I can provide them, it is not just my opinion is it is what lds teach.
I am not as you put it exercised about the public debate of mormonism, I long for its exposure. The more exposure the better.
I get that you have a sister who apparently converted to mormonism and I am sorry about that.
So you understand where my knowledge comes from with regards to mormonism, I have a huge mormon family. They are in every aspect of the lds structure, some of the distant mormon relatives can trace their line to Joseph Smith, I am not uninformed about who and what mormonism is.
I am concerned about people trapped in mormoism, with in my family I have seen great tragedy directly related to it.
I am concerned about peoples souls.
mormonism presents itself as something it is not.
If you as a Catholic/Christian do not understand that mormonism drives people away from God not towards Him, I am sorry.
I will not stop trying to expose mormonism for what it is, and no sir there is nothing you can do about that.
You see I understand these peoples very souls are at stake.
Temple Worthy MORMONs make THIS vow:
Law of Sacrifice: The posterity of Adam down to Moses, and from Moses to Jesus Christ offered up the first fruits of the field, and the firstlings of the flock, which continued until the death of Jesus Christ, which ended sacrifice by the shedding of blood. And as Jesus Christ has laid down his life for the redemption of mankind, so we should covenant to sacrifice all that we possess, even our own lives if necessary, in sustaining and defending the Kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God on earth exists wherever the priesthood of God is (TPJS, pp. 271-74). At present it is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I don’t see anyone trying to deny mormons their rights to practice.
What I do see are folks defending Christianity from mormonism. A religion that claims all other Christians are apostates, spawns of satan or belong to the church erstwhile described as the “whore of Babylon” [Catholic].
If mormonism can attack Christianity, claim it is the “restored” gospel of Christ, label all Christians as apostates, then why can’t Christians contend for their faith as Evangelicals, Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics, etc.?
Why must Christians be silent on the matter? Why can’t we challenge mormon doctrine and theology when they are claiming that JS supposedly met with a “personage”, who claimed that all of us were apostates? Why must we accept their claim that JS purportedly met with Christ in contravention to Acts 1:9-11 in addition to the myriad other claims they made and continue to make?
Their “beliefs” are theirs, can’t and won’t argue that. We each have our own.
Otoh, their doctrine, teachings and theology are wide open to criticism and examination, just as our own are.
Unfortunately, your red herring about 0bama is just that. Red. Their are many on FR who view mormonism in a negative way who have already stated they’re voting for R/R.
I guess we should also suspend our belief system that would have us contend for the faith and be on the lookout for the wolves within the flock?
