TChris. Those other churches don't claim that their male members hold the holy Melchizedek Priesthood. Which as your organization claims:

” Men in the Church must be worthy Melchizedek Priesthood holders in order to receive the temple endowment and be sealed to their families for eternity. They have the authority to administer to the sick and give special blessings to family members and others. With the authorization of presiding priesthood leaders, they can bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost and ordain other worthy men to offices in the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods.

When a man receives the Melchizedek Priesthood, he enters into the oath and covenant of the priesthood. He covenants to be faithful, magnify his calling, “give diligent heed to the words of eternal life,” and “live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.” Those who keep this covenant will be sanctified by the Spirit and receive “all that [the] Father hath.” (See D&C 84:33–44.) “

These men who attacked and killed the innocent were priesthood holders, and ecclesiastical leaders. So are you now claiming that the LDS are no different than the rest of Christianity. You've got nothing “special?” Yeppers, that's what I've been saying all along. Thanks for confirming it.

You're very good at attacking the messenger. You could be a disciple of Obama - you're THAT good at it. :)

What a weasel.

Still chickening out on the original subject, I see.

Gonna defend your pathetic double standard or not?
