Your accusations of lying are recent, so is my post.
Are you saying that somebody posted SOMETHING WORSE than "Christ is a polygamist and sinner" ?
If what you say is true, this should be the biggest "out of context" and "lying" post of them all.
Go ahead and adress it please.
Did you look it up to see if it is really there ? I gave the reference.
+++++
Do you see how one of ya’ll uses a small word change to deceive the reader?
This is blasphemy of the worst sort. And your attempt to hide it by refusing to answer my questions while at the same time accusing me of deception is the worst kind of blasphemous deception.
Nailed it!
They have been quoted in great context literally dozens of times over the last many months.
Those are the ones referenced, not the out of context ones.
The teachings say that god is a man.
They say that he is an "exalted" man.
An exalted man, according to the English language, is a man.
Maybe you have a Mormon definition of an "exalted" man you could share with us?
That could clear up that confusion.
But remember that we are counseled to do so in the Spirit of the Lord and I may not be a General Authority but, Im pretty sure that disrupting and bankrupting a website that you deem to be the opposition isnt compatible with His Spirit.
I have yet to see a direct response to my question - not a single ping except for the one I'm replying to. You still haven't explained you actions here and in regards to SPAM and greg west.
Hopes dashed once again...
I don’t blame you for defelcting since my follow up question (second part of my post) put you in a spot...
I’m not going to wade through 1000 posts, I wasn’t here over the weekend.

I cannot see how you can also say you that care about the truth being taught, when you are not willing to check out such a minor number of attempts to misstate our teachings.
Answer P-marlowe's question Fred
“Joseph Smith taught that God is a man. Yes he claims he is an “exalted” man, but he is a man nevertheless. Your so-called scriptures claim that The Heavenly Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s. Joseph Smith taught that man was once as we are now and that he lived on an earth like ours and that after some time he was “exalted” to become a God. Joseph Smith taught that God was not always God but that he BECAME God.”
Worth repeating for any that have thought mormonism is some
kind of Christianity. This heresy was condemned by the Christian Church hundreds of years ago.
Your post outlines it perfectly - including how it is covered up by posters like the one you addressed, who tried
to hide it.

"When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan it is God's plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy." (Improvement Era, June 1945, p. 354)That is quite scary.
No one should insist that people don't think for themselves.
Amen...

Your second half is only an attempt to turn the reader aside from how ya’ll have been exposed as to not caring to be truthfully about our teachings.
You and yours are spending a lot of effort to bury that fact under a lot of other statements.
Ya’ll should just admit that you are not careful in understanding our teachings.
Was the LDS teaching quoted above that Christ was a polygamist AND A SINNER one of the "plain and precious truths" that was mistranslated out of the bible ?
You will not answer because you CANNOT ANSWER.
You cannot stand up for your founders because they taught the opposite on many topics than your current leaders. Your "god" changes his mind from generation to genereation.
These things are very well documented, and you cannot argue so you attack the messenger.
Then you complain that we defend our God from FLDS/LDS "infiltration" into Christianity on Freerepublic....AT LEAST WE'RE NOT KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR AT DINNER TIME.
You don't post on anything but the closed threads, Don...do you ever READ the open ones?
I suggest you do so, and reconsider your post.
Since we can never know just who is posting as Religion Moderator, we never know who is enforcing (or not) the rules, but there are a handful of mormons who seem to be "untouchable" when violating those rules.
The regular RM has gained the respect of the Inmans for his/her even-handed moderating. Thank you, RM.
I think its REALLY important that Jim Robinson allow Romneybots to post their nonsense on Free Republic because it clues lurkers and fellow conservatives into what is so horrible about Romney, and that would never happen if Romney bots were simply banned. Jim Robinson is a GENIUS because he refrains from being a control freak. And I think this Mormon site trying to bring down FR will fail and benefit FR in the long run.
I cant believe I wasnt on the list! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!
okay, but not all at the same time! You want to live to be 30
Ouch! That’s going to leave a mark! :)
