Why waste your time on Free Republic? You should be writing a book. Making a movie. Something big. Don’t waste your time here.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. ~John 18:36

Quirky religious vanities used to be an everyday thing. Not so much, these days, so it’s kind of refreshing.

Jesus didn’t perform any miracles in front of Herod either.

You would be better served by addressing his argument rather than calling him a heretic. What exactly makes this an LDS issue?
I think he makes an interesting point.

This is the reason why Jesus didn't teach the Romans about his divinity nor did they witness any miracles. Are you aware that the centurion was a Roman for whom Jesus performed a miracle?
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. Lord, he said, my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly. Jesus said to him, Shall I come and heal him? The centurion replied, Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, Go, and he goes; and that one, Come, and he comes. I say to my servant, Do this, and he does it. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would. And his servant was healed at that moment. (Matthew 8:10-13)

We discussed something similar in Sunday School class last month certainly not LDS.
To: StormPrepper
My impression of Pilate, from reading Scripture and Josephus, is that he was a cynical, crooked politician, thoroughly corrupt and heartless. Sort of like Hillary Clinton, in other words, except that Pilate was actually competent.
That such a man realized that Jesus was innocent is amazing. That he didn’t have the courage to stand up to the crowd and to the Jewish leaders that threatened to trash him with his Roman masters is exactly how a corrupt politician would act today.

Get ready for the unleashing of the hounds of hell on you. But I will stand with you.
Not only do I believe Pilate was forgiven but so was Judas. And Jesus left it up to Judas to tell the others what he would do because he had to do it .... It was his destiny.

What exactly makes this an LDS issue? The post, by a member of the mormon cult, states this:
This fact plays into God's plan for our salvation.
The mormon plan of salvation is false.
Jesus would come to earth, gain a physical body, learn through mortal experiences pain, anguish, temptation, and joy.
Mormonism teaches that Jesus was a created spirit being that had to come to earth to get a body, go through experiences, live a worthy life and then become a god - one of 4 earth gods - but one of millions or billions of gods.
The first of Heavenly Father's children to do so.
Mormonism falsely teaches that worthy mormons will follow this same path - in order to become gods. This is false.
He would overcome all things, suffer to pay the price for sin, then His body would be put to death, and He would over come death and take His body up again.
Mormonism teaches that the atonement for sins happened when Jesus sweat drops of blood in the garden - and not on the cross, as Scripture teaches.
