SALT LAKE CITY — Maybe now, reporters, bloggers, outsiders and even many Mormons will accept that the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not forbid drinking cola.
On Aug. 29, the LDS church posted a statement on its website saying that “the church does not prohibit the use of caffeine” and that the faith’s health-code reference to “hot drinks” “does not go beyond (tea and coffee).”
A day later, the website wording was slightly softened, saying only that “the church revelation spelling out health practices … does not mention the use of caffeine.”
The same goes for the church’s two-volume handbook, which LDS leaders use to guide their congregations. It says plainly that “the only official interpretation of ‘hot drinks’ … in the Word of Wisdom is the statement made by early church leaders that the term ‘hot drinks’ means tea and coffee.”

The devil's in the DETAILS!
It could be rioting in the streets!
Ah...
finally the LAW is shown!
Thanks!!
So you are verifying that in your view, that this election is more important than the souls of individuals trapped or maybe come trapped in mormonism.
And you then would by inference be supporting the evil that contributes to lost souls.
I will stand before God Almighty with a clear heart.
How about you?
Will you say to Him, hey listen I was working on the more important thing that Romney wins an election, its not my fault people were lost in mormonism. I couldn’t do two things at once.
Simple put election over lost souls - got it.
So sad. Exactly why we were stuck with Obama. Vote for the charming or nice looking guy.
Hey you, show one post just one where anyone discussing mormonism has said that mormons should be prohibited from practicing their religion.
But hey, but you are saying that Christians who are commanded to call out false prophets and teachings shut up - just how do you square that.
Hey, you.
You keep repeating that claim without any substance.
This is the Religion Forum and we are discussing mormonism, and the question one could ask, why you can’t seem to stay on topic.
And again you have shown by inference that the election is more important than the destination of a persons soul - explain how that is Christ-like?
And Romney supports abortion, so what’s your point.
That support for is ok as long as the taxpayers don’t pay?
Who has said mormons can’t practice their belief.
Although you seem to be repeating over and over and over that Christians need to shut up about exposing the anti-Christian mormonism.
Romney tried to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions. I guess he believes religious freedom does not apply to others.

‘Pends on who you are.
My late and former father-in-law, a mormon from a founding mormon family, and “one of the seventy” as they say, when he made his pitch to me to become a mormon (well before I married his daughter) brought a “cold case” of Coors and set it down on his picnic table in the back yard, and consumed at least his share of it as we sat there and talked for about 5 or 6 hours.
He was a powerful man in the mormon church.
Your sort of “conservative” is the useful fool of the Democrat propaganda machine. You remind me of all the parlor pinks and “intellectuals” who supported the Communist in Russia. When the purges came your sort of useful idiot were the very 1st they rounded up
So once again, you apparently do not realize that this is the Religion Forum.
If the discussion of mormonism is so offensive, why are you here?
The other question I want to ask, why is the exposure of mormonism so offensive apparently to you?
Christians are commanded to call out false teachers and prophets, are you unaware of that or are you content to focus on the election instead of the eternal resting place of souls?
Another question is this, why is it more important for you it seems to avoid eternity and concentrate on the temporal.

Obama supports leaving a child born alive to writhe in pain on the delivery table unassisted until it dies, so that the doctor wouldn't have to actively kill it.
What do you call that?
I thought they’ve been pro-cola after they bought a lot of Pepsi(or was it Coke?) stock in the 1980s.
WHAT?!?
Forget it then. Why take all the fun out of it?
J/K ;-)
“Why all the anti-Mormon commentary? Isn’t it a free country? “
You answered your own question in the second sentence... in short, it’s a cultic heresy.
“Obama supports leaving a child born alive to writhe in pain on the delivery table unassisted until it dies, so that the doctor wouldn’t have to actively kill it. What do you call that?”
