I don’t belong to a particular denomination. I have attended Baptist, Catholic, and most recently, Mormon churches. You are welcome to bash them if you wish. In my opinion none of them are perfect.

Frankly in my opinion whenever “man” gets involved, he tends to screw things up in light of mans ego and thirst for control of others. At the same time, Jesus encouraged his followers to meet in his Name, and in my opinion meeting with other like-minded followers can strengthen one’s faith.

Back to the thread, is there something about its posting that upsets you or you consider to be “bashing”? As far as I know, it is true, and was discussed in at least two Sunday church meetings in a local Mormon church, so it is a relevant discussion point.

Thanks

I’m thinking of the verses in Romans 8:9c; 8:14; 8:16-17)

“Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.”

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (8:14)

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs of God,
and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.” (8:16-17)

***I have attended Baptist, Catholic, and most recently, Mormon churches.***

But which ones did you her REAL PREACHING in? EXpositions on the word of God!

My bet is Baptist and Catholic, but not mormons. You sing a few hymns, break bread and drink WATER, then break up for classes in which various MORMON church doctrines or histories are taught, but NO EXPOSITIONAL TEACHING ON THE WORD OF GOD!

Any place that a MORMON has the nerve to start spouting any of their HERESY will turn in to a BASH.
