Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
The NIV...
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3
This would pertain to the mormon’s obsession with deviant sex practices of others while their own religious doctrine is based on the need for a lifestyle of polygamy in order to get into their mormon heaven...
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. John 8:7
Ditto.. Joey Smith was a sinner and a hypocrite..Self righteousness is written into the mormon doctrines..
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Matthew 7:12
Again Joey Smith practiced this one...Do unto others before they do it to you...Joey Smith sinned against others but accused his victims of doing the same to him..Smoke screens..
“and The Beatitudes fit nicely at this juncture.”
If they fit then where are they ???
“arrogance, belligerence, and intolerance are very unlike Christ.”
Do mormons get addressed with these same words ???
arrogance, belligerence, and intolerance are very much the mainstay of the mormon god...Read some of Joey Smith’s teachings...and the teachings of his later “prophets”...
mormons follow these “prophets”
They have to say everything Joey Smith and the prophets said or wrote is “true”
Christians believe Jesus and the Bible...
Mormons teach against Christians and the Bible...
and instead say that Joey Smith and the book of mormon are “true”
BTW do you ever read some of the comments by mormons ???
They are in the New Testament, accessible via the same Bible Verse Locater you used to find the others.
BTW do you ever read some of the comments by mormons ???
Better than that, I have worked with several Mormons over the years. As stated before, every Mormon I have known personally has been a very diligent worker, bright, courteous and pleasant. I have been personally antagonized and insulted by one FReeper who happens to be a Mormon, and it wasn't related to religious discussion. I can assure you that no Mormon has ever threatened me with bodily harm.
On the other hand, I have been taunted, insulted and threatened with bodily injury by "Born Again" Christians on several occasions both in the workplace and in otherwise genteel social settings. I have found the hateful demeanor of some holier-than-thou folks repulsive, and I prefer to avoid their company.
