Says the guy who kept telling me that I obviously have never read the Bible! Is that what loving, honest, hugging Christians like yourself do?
According to your posts, the average Mormon is head and shoulders above you in morality.
There is a strong possibility of this. Human beings are capable of intense discipline. Too bad it can't save them nor wrest the wickedness from their heart!
I don’t doubt you on that.
Another Christian statement!
"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."(Luk 18:11-14)
All Protestants are schismatic Catholics. It is the nature of their belief. Are you a Baptist?
No
I am a Christian
I identify as simply Christian
I am not a baptist
What is the origin of your Christian doctrines and beliefs?
Jesus Christ
The question is why is using the words of lds leaders hate or whatever the current words are today
The one who is the Jehovah of the Old Testament and named Jesus Christ in the New Testament of the Bible, that Jesus Christ?
Do you believe his words?
You answered your question yourself. Perhaps the answer was insufficient or incorrect? Is that why you keep asking me?
The Greek of the New Testament recorded as the Lord’s Supper has Christ saying eat of my body and drink of my blood - literally. Christ says “eat me”. That’s the Greek. It’s the origin of the Catholic Church’s belief in transubstantiation.
Jews, Greeks and others used those words to attack Christians as cannibals.
Normal adults understand that context matters.
I believe Jesus Christ’s Word
That is still not what I asked: why is quoting lds leaders hate?
It appears you are not going to answer my original inquiry, there is no point in you doing whatever it you are doing to avoid answering.
Let’s leave it at, you don’t know, it’s just something you write.
Quoting Millet...."he's answering the question you SHOULD have asked....
I believe this poster to be one of the "I'm not a mormon but..." that we see all the time on these threads....lyin' for the lard.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Oh yea, forgot about that video...teaching lds to lie.
Mar 9, 1843 - William Clayton goes for an afternoon walk with Joseph Smith: “the prophet invited me to walk with him. During our walk he said he had learned that there was a sister back in England to whom I was very much attached. I replied there was, but nothing farther than an attachment such as a brother and sister in the church might rightfully entertain for each other. He then said, ‘Why don’t you send for her?’ I replied, ‘In the first place I have no authority to send for her, and if I had, I have not the means to pay expenses.’ To this he answered, ‘I give you authority to send for her, and I will furnish you the means,’ which he did. This was the first time the prophet Joseph talked with me on the subject of plural marriage. He informed me that the doctrine and principle was right in the sight of our Heavenly Father, and that it was a doctrine which pertained to celestial order & glory. After giving me lengthy instructions and information concerning the doctrine of celestial or plural marriage he concluded his remarks by the words, ‘It is your privilege to have all the wives you want.’”
Mar 9, 1844 - General Relief-Society president Emma Smith preaches to the Relief Society:”it was high time for Mothers to watch over their Daughters & exhort them to keep the path of Virtue” She then asks “by vote, who would be willing to receive the principles of Virtue, keep the commandments of God.” In a second meeting the same day she asks”all to take heed to their ways; and follow the teachings of Brother Joseph; and when he Preaches against Vice to take heed to it; and said, he meant what he said.” Within a week the Relief Society meetings are discontinued as it is felt that Emma is preaching coded messages against her husband’s secret practice of plural marriage. John Taylor later explained: “the meetings were discontinued” because “Emma Smith the Pres[ident] taught the sisters that the principle of plural marriage . . . was not of God.”
Mar 9, 1845 - After several women must have approached Brigham Young about resuming regular meetings of the Relief Society, Young tells a meeting of the Seventy that women “have no right to meddle in the affairs of the Kingdom of God [—] outside the pale of this they have a right to meddle because many of them are more sagacious & shrewd & more competent [than men] to attend to things of financial affairs. they never can hold the Priesthood apart from their husbands. When I want Sisters or the Wives of the members of the church to get up Relief Society I will summon them to my aid but until that time let them stay at home & if you see females huddling together . . . and if they say Joseph started it tell them its a damned lied for I know he never encouraged it.”
