Holy cow! What a bizarre statement. Did you know that the Rev. Billy Graham opened his home to Mormons? Did you know that his ministry removed Mormons from its list of cults? Did you know that Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament and the Savior/Redeemer of the New Testament.
What a horrible, disgusting thing you said about my Church but I’m sure colophonian agrees with you.
“Did you know that Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament...”
I know Mormons say a lot of things that sound orthodox, but they mean something comkpletely different, so let’s test this one. From the table in the artcle above, #1. Was Jesus self-existent from all eternity past? The “Great Jehovah of the Old Testament” is/was.
I will clarify what I meant about the vest bombs, since it was a bit provacative: Spiritual error is more dangerous than physical violence because the consequnces are eternal. In other words, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) In reality, I would rather have the Mormon reenagers at the door than the vest bomber, but honestly, if God allows either, that’s fine with me.
I meant to respond to this as well:
“Did you know that the Rev. Billy Graham opened his home to Mormons? Did you know that his ministry removed Mormons from its list of cults?”
I didn’t know that. I would be mildly curious to know exactly how that was worded, but throughout the years Billy Graham’s ministry has compromised to broaden its influence. You say his ministry “Mormons from its list of cults.” That means Mormons were on the list - did Mormon doctrine change in a meaningful way or did his ministry change?
Billy Graham is a great man and I’m certainly his inferior many times over, but I prefer a ministry like John MacArthur’s (www.gty.org), which explains what the Bible says and lets the chips fall where they may.

It’s not a ‘bizarre’ statement at all, it is a BIBLICAL statement. You have, in the past, claimed that the LDS love and read the Bible. If so, then you wouldn’t find this statement bizzare at all. Unless you think Jesus was ‘bizzare’...
Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
False teachers send people to a very real, very eternal Hell.
