How sad. Cry all you want: vote for whoewver you want.
ALL I said was that SOME things are MORE important!
Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

I’m proud of the Mormons for standing up for what they believe and I stand shoulder to shoulder with them against those who would take out their anger at losing (prop 8) against them.

I believe the only thing in the Apostles Creed Mormons would not accept are the words Holy Catholic Church. That's because they do NOT know what the word catholic means.

Mormons strongly believe in the divinity of Christ. Then WHEN did Jesus become devine?

Go to Wikipedia on the Nicene Creed and search for anathema.Why?
You stated something - I proved you wrong.

As a Christian it is my duty to spread the Gospel. If I see someone whose theology is so flawed it impedes their salvation, do I not have an obligation to tell them the truth? I would be remiss if I didn’t in the same way I would be remiss if I saw a house on fire and didn’t warn the people inside.

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

I think people generally tend to feel bashed when someone publicly disagrees with their heartfelt beliefs. I know when I was in the process of leaving the Catholic Church, I STILL didn’t like to hear people say bad things about it, even tho I disagreed with much of what the church believed. And, people tend to want to call disagreement hate.
On the other hand, I have seen occasions where heated arguments got a little ugly. But, I see that no matter what the posters are arguing about, it’s not just Mormons or religion. I myself need to always check my heart before I post, and I admit I don’t.

What the gays really want is for churches to be declared hate organizations and shut down. Where do you find that information?
A wee bit of hyperbole here?
Some of the gays that I have known in my life I met at church, AND I might add at mormon churches.
While I don't approve of what the gays are doing, I think the tendency to demonize them overlooks the fact that they are US citizens, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters and as YET are not required to wear a gold star on their sleeve.
An awfully lot of posts on FR would appear to want to do away with their rights as citizens because they are availing themselves of First Amendment rights.

But if you want to call that one, at least allow others to see it differently without condemning them and calling them non-Christian. NIV Galatians 1:8-9
8. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
9. As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
The BIBLE quite accurately described how the Book of Mormon was delivered.
Don't blame ME for 'condemning' MORMONism!

“Then WHEN did Jesus become devine?”
Let me guess, it’s different than what you believe? That’s not that big of deal, Elsie. Practically everyone has at least a slightly different view of Jesus Christ.
You have already pointed out you feel Mormon belief in Jesus Christ is too different to count as belief in Jesus Christ. Please stop spamming that point. I, of course, disagree.
If mainstream protestantism is how Jesus Christ wants things, then I certainly hope He will accept my faith as being sufficient for His Grace to apply to me.
If The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true, then I certainly hope your belief is sufficient for His Grace to apply to you.

NEVER once has the LDS Church said they are the ones that are responsible for the Prop 8 victory. True; but some of it's MEMBERS sure put forth that story!!!

Elsie, your posts are feeling like SPAM. Anti-Mormon SPAM.BIBLE quotes and MORMON leader's quotes tend to do that...

It really is quite ironic that the gays are accusing the Mormons of hate, the Mormons are accusing the gays of hate, and the Mormons are accusing their own detractors of hate.
All these charges of hatred are simply a means of shutting down healthy debate - a vital component of free speech.
If Mormons continue to try and squelch freedom of speech, they might find THEMSELVES under charges of hate speech against the gay community.

God bless the Mormons. They are the only ones willing to take on the Sodomites. Weve shown the gays tolerance. That isnt good enough. They have their bathhouses and their diseases. They want to marry and adopt kids. We have taken votes on it. When they lose, they get violent or go to the courts and have the peoples will overturned. The Mormons have immense courage and I applaud them. Almost no church will stand up to the homosexuals anymore. They should be absolutely praised for their willingness to stand against this evil.

To: Arguendo
Stating that Mormons are not real Christians is not the same thing as Mormon bashing, though there was some real Mormon bashing during the primaries.
So stating that Jews are not people is not bashing Jews? (My apologies to any Jews who might be offended)
Mormons believe in Jesus Christ (
learn before you post).
Mormons are not "Orthodox Christians" but they are most definitely Christian.
