Funny, but I can’t seem to remember Mormons flying planes into the World Trade Center.
I can’t seem to remember Mormons wanting to kill millions of “infidels”.
Prove it
'Essentially, just to sum it up, I decided to go to a party and obviously had no idea about alcohol and the way that it altered your body,' Kristjana said.
So her problem was that of rejecting authority to do her own thing. And I doubt she had no idea about alcohol affecting her judgment. Eve was not told all the details of what her sin would entail, but that she would die, which was sufficient, though Mormonic leaders are far from being God. Kristjana added: 'If your gut and your inner knowing feels like something is off or not right, listen because it never leads you astray ever.'
Which means avoid Mormonism and other false gospels, versus that of Scripture.
The redeemed are those who come to God as sinners knowing their desperate need of salvation - not as souls saved by their works or religious heritage, but as destitute of any means or merit whereby they may find salvation - and with a humble and penitent heart (that at least implicitly wants a new life following Christ) believe on the crucified and risen Lord Jesus who alone can save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood and righteousness. (Romans 3:9 - 5:1) And who are thus baptized to follow the Lord Jesus with persevering faith.
And who thus are baptized and follow Him (John 10:27-29; Acts 8:12; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10) - and effectually repent when they find that they failed to do so. (Psalms 32:5, 6; 51:3; Hosea 5:15; 1 John 1:9) For penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating effectual faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) is that which is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is shown in baptism and following the Lord, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27, 28) and by which faith the believer is completely forgiven and "accepted in the Beloved" and positionally seated with Him in Heaven. Ephesians 1:6; 2:6; cf. Phil. 3:21)
And wherever Scripture clearly speak of the next conscious reality for those who die in that effectual faith then it is with the Lord, at death or His return (whatever comes first), by the grace of God. (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Thanks be to God.
so raping a young woman means nothing to you.....???
In the West, yes, very fitting.
Prophet claiming to be a successor of Biblical prophets (thus appropriating authority) hundreds of years later, and thereby providing new revelation.
Claiming corruption of the Bible or the understanding of it, with additional revelation forthcoming as need requires.
False gospel.
Multiple wives.
Theocracy.
Religious violence.
To make anyone not Catholic look bad.
What’s actually worse is the mishandling of it by a religious organization claiming to represent Christ to the world.
They didn’t deal with sin in their midst but covered it up and enabled the abusers, making them complicit as well. From someone who (hypocritically) takes the high moral ground, no less.
These threads are NEVER about Catholicism. Always about non-Catholic denominations.
If Catholicism were serious about getting rid of sexual sin in its midst, it could have and should have done so over a thousand years ago.
It's had over a thousand years to address the problem and in that time it has not, but rather protected the abusers and enabled them.
THAT is what makes the situation in Catholicism so heinous.
Call the WAAAHmbulance.
You have problems closer to home than the dreaded, never-to-be-sufficiently-damned “Catholicism”.
You apparently don’t like having that fact pointed out to you.
Tough.
Fix it.
1. The family’s version of the story is not being told in their own words— so as to make them appear as anti-female as possible.
2. There are two sepearte issues that feminist politicians don’t want to separate:
— Should the rapists be punished? Of course. Severely.
— Why didn’t this foolish woman listen to her parents teaching and stay away from over-sexed men? Her morally compass was pointing in the wrong direction
Look up Mountain Meadows Massacre to see real early mormonism in action.
In the Civil War, mormons were giving guns to the Navajos and urging them to attack Union forts in NM and AZ. That is why the Navajos were rounded up and sent to fort Sumner.
