SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Mormons are free to down a Coke or Pepsi.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has clarified its position on caffeinated soft drinks, noting the news media often incorrectly states that its members don't drink caffeine.

That isn’t even close to being true, but you probably knew that, since there isn’t even a shred of proof. Is there anything else about evil Catholics you learned from Dan Brown, you’d like to share?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee
They flippieth and they floppieth:
Ecclesiastically.
There’s wisdom in silence, Mormons find
Aftet preaching thisly and thusly
Their God changes His mind.
Well it is that LDS do not write their laws in stone
I prefer these prophets that buy the world a Coke
Over their grandfathers that Blood Atoned.
Are we now an overpopulated earth? Do you believe everything the left wing tells you?
I was born and raised RCC. Altarboy and all that. Nice to make it personal on your part.
Where did I say they were evil? I think you should owe me an apology for that. That’s all you there buddy. I have no idea who Dan Brown is either.
God has defined marriage as one man and one woman.
Thanks for the clarification. This was back in the mid 1950’s and seems like everyone always ate fish on Friday. But I was a high school student then and the whys on anything didn’t really matter much. If you wanted to eat in the public school cafeteria that day you ate fish or went hungry. Life was what it was.
Sounds like your rewritting the Bible! God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Two of the three (most likely all three) were confirmed polygamists. Isreal was started in polygamy!
Not that I’m trying to defend polygamy, but I get a little tired of you sanctimoniously changing religious history to promote your religious beliefs.
At least the LDS church claims revelation. When your Emperor Constantine decided to change Gods relationship with Jesus Christ and then coerce it on Christianity at the Council of Nicea ... THEY DIDN’T EVEN CLAIM REVELATION.
Of course ... you don’t mind that obvious usurpation by Man of God’s Gospel ..... you just hypocritcally accuse others of doing it when thier interpretations don’t fit yours.
Why don’t you follow Christ and cast out the 2x4 beam in your own eye before trying to get slivers out of mine?
Is that too much to ask? That you actually incorporate the teachings of Jesus Christ instead of castigating others because they don’t believe in your biblical distortions?
I drink coffee, moderately. I think it’s good for you in moderation. But I do NOT drink Coke, which is a source of high fructose corn syrup, which is extremely bad for you.
Coke didn’t always contain that stuff, but it does now. Thanks mostly to gubbermint interference.
lds can claim all they want.
The God of the Bible defined marriage as one man and one woman.
Smith needed to redefine marriage and history so he could continue to bed young girls and other men’s wives.
You miss use Biblical principles referring to the beam.
God has commanded we call out false prophets and teachings - mormonism is false, Smith is false.
mormonism fails in the Face of Almighty God’s Word.
I follow the eternal Christ not a created being who is insufficient to save, which is why lds must work for their salvation -
We are NOT Saved by works but by Grace.
Sounds like your rewritting the Bible! God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Two of the three (most likely all three) were confirmed polygamists. Isreal was started in polygamy!
The Bible does say that every man should have his own wife and every woman should have her own husband, if that law was to be enforced especially after events such as world war one and world war two, American women would have had to pick out second wives for their husbands.
American women, may we borrow your men, that was the story that came out in the late forties or early fifties.
Due to war there were many times not enough men to go around, so for every woman to have their own husband some one is going to have to share.
So these people who insists on making more out of Gods laws than what he did should consider this.
So what is the latest and greatest from Monson? Hinkley?
Young claimed God revealed to him that Adam was the god to worship - do you deny that?
The lds claims so much that gets changed, its hard to keep track.
Their god is a fickled god.
“Maybe this clarification is a form of mormon taqqiya. :-)”
Or just another case of presstitution?
” That their leadership elite has people in it capable of running the country?”
If Romney runs America as the Deseret ranches and farms are run, the present American economic issues will soon be gone.
The Florida Deseret Ranch is remarkable, and not for just its size (#15,000 acres when I met with its CEO). Oh, one more thing - those ranches must be run efficiently because they all pay taxes. Seems they do not believe in accepting tax exempt status.
That CEO said their tax bill was over seven figures. Why do I accept those statements at face value? Because the owner of the next ranch to the south was a friend and he was sitting with us and agreed.
I must admit to not having botheredg to take the time to verify the tax records in the counties where that ranch is located. Sometimes, I do accept what reliable people say. Sloppy, but it works for me.
How much do they pay their workers?
My lds aunt and uncle work in a facility or small farm and they get paid zero.
The don’t get paid because they can’t afford to pay any tithes, so they work off the bill as free labor in an lds owned facility.
Sounds like you're Morg skilled at deceiving the unwary!
Monogamy is firmly embedded in the Old Testament teaching regarding God’s plan for marriage. According to Gen. 2:24, “A man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” This clearly stipulates a heterosexual, monogamous relationship as the norm for God’s people.
After the Fall, it took only six generations until monogamy was compromised. Barely after Adam had died, Lamech “took two wives” (Gen. 4:19). During the course of Old Testament history, prominent men such as Abraham, Esau, Jacob, Gideon, David, Solomon, and others practiced polygamy. Nevertheless, the Old Testament never approves of polygamy.
In the New Testament, Jesus upheld the biblical ideal of monogamy. When asked about the permissibility of divorce, Jesus reiterated God’s original plan for marriage as stated in Gen. 2:24. So the New Testament upholds the marriage norm for God’s people across both covenant periods.
“At least the LDS church claims revelation. When your Emperor Constantine decided to change Gods relationship with Jesus Christ and then coerce it on Christianity at the Council of Nicea ... THEY DIDN’T EVEN CLAIM REVELATION.”
False statement. Instead of believing all the mormonic cult tells, please read church history. You will find you’ve. Een lied to repeatedly teppe.
He is long-suffering toward the evil but justice eventually happens.
Those under grace are in a different camp. They are washed clean and accepted fully as true children.
But not nearly as underpopulated as in patriarchal times.
(And, in answer to your question...I believe nothing the left tells me.)
Ah Teppe, I so enjoy when you pop in. Your gods must be proud...
