Yeah but it will inform the lurkers and edify the FI...

“What a coincidence. That’s the same thing Torquemada said.”
So? What’s your point? If one person uses the Bible to wrongly justify something, then nobody can justify anything based on the Bible?
Sorry, but you're wrong. I used to see the "not judge" thing from liberals and non-believers in chat rooms and on forums. I'm not saying you're either, but you don't understand the Scripture any more than they do.
Jesus never forbade judging. He taught us how TO judge. If you look at Matthew 7 1:5, He is instructing us not to judge if we are doing the same thing we are judging. In the last sentence, He tells us to make sure we are not guilty of that, and THEN to make our judgement.
In Matthew 7:15, Jesus tells us to beware of false prophets (like Joseph Smith). How are we supposed to tell what's false and what's true unless we make a judgement?
John 7:24 says: “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Judge based on the truth---on Scripture. You might not want to judge, but you have no right to tell me or anyone else not to do so. When you do, you are contradicting what the Bible tells me, and when it comes down to you or it, which do you think I'm going to pick?
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 says, "“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” You are saying we should not test all things.
1 John 4:1 tells us to test the spirits. Again, a judgement must be made.
Wolfman, I’m not Catholic, but I consider us brother and sister in Christ. Maybe one day when we meet in Heaven we’ll laugh about our differences.
Correct, CA
Why are you afraid, someone will challenge you?
Maybe defend what you beleive if anything, does that cause you angst?
Come on hoodat, run from your fear....take the challenge, post threads in the religion forum exposing Christianity.
Thanks, svcw
Truth about Mormonism is bashing? Check out the bible on false prophets.
Incidentally, the main premise of the opening article was not even addressed until the end. It's is worth noting that the Mormon Church was included in the process of writing legislation for Utah. I wish other churches were consulted in the same way for drafting legislation in their own states. But I think it is a stretch to conclude that the Mormon Church will surrender to homosexuality this early in the process. Perhaps the heretic police here should be targeting those denominations who have already surrendered.
That’s pretty weird. Do you happen to have a link for that?

No; "we" haven't.
SOMEthing in the replies triggered a response.
And the SB's are extremely glad they aren't in the crosshairs!
PLEASE!
Level the playing field by posting about those getting a free pass.
It is FREE Republic after all.
Thank you for calling Ask Jesus: Press 1 for English.
Matthew 24:37-38“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,”
Then you are worthless.
To 'point out' and then fail to try to correct?
What good is THAT?
Then why is Section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants STILL officially included in the "holy scriptures" of the mormon church? Heresy?
It HAS?
I daresay one canNOT find anything official from SLC headquarters to this effect.
It is STILL 'scripture'
The Doctrine and Covenants
Section 132
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831....58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
58 Now, as touching the law of the apriesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.
59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was aAaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that bsent me, and I have endowed him with the ckeys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit dsin, and I will justify him.
60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.
61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.
62 And if he have aten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.
63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to amultiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be bglorified.
64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.
65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take aHagar to wife.
66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.
The spineless weasels that run MORMONism, Inc. (in SLC) have CHOSEN to be a state rather than OBEY what their GOD told then to do.
