What? "...the word from getting out" = the world-wide slander lds missionaries have been pouring out upon Christians like pollution being dumped from pipes into streams & waterways? I've never said 100% of Lds creeds & articles of faith are an "abomination" -- putrid. Yet, that's the most basic unwritten Lds "article of faith." Why? Because if this little Mormon made-up "factoid" was not so, then Smith's instant-presto appearance as "apostle & prophet" of all the earth is unnecessary.
Not only is this "scripture" that binds your (& every other TBM) very adherence, but your very existence as a Mormon depends upon the total "failure-hood" of Jesus Christ and His Church established in circa 30 A.D. It's our supposed "apostate-hood" that props up your very existence!
How utterly and "noble-lessly" sad! It's like saying, "We Mormons can't construct our neighborhood in any other than the Christian graveyard down the street. Otherwise, if we let them pop up, resurrection-like, out of the gigantic grave Smith dug for them, we become false prophets in proclaiming we're the ONLY church in town!"
Even your Book of Mormon theology confirms this. 1 Nephi 14:9-10 proclaims there's ONLY 2 churches in town. Mormons stake their claim on one of them -- the church of the Lamb. You know outer-darkness well that it leaves only one label Mormons pin upon the rest of us: "The church of the devil."
Lds dance around this 'cause they don't even like the implications of their own "scriptures." They like to see themselves as "victims" of persecution & oppression. Yet they oppress any other church from being the true church of Jesus Christ. They oppress all other creeds as being an "abomination."
Shame and double shame. (When will we see a Mormon expound upon this passage with complete openness?)
Conservatives should be about getting a divergence of ideas & opinions out there.
Where's the "divergence of" creedal ideas allowed by Mormons? You claim 100% of ours are false, fictitious, abominable, putrid.
These missionaries simply knock on doors & ask to share.
And what you do you think WE do with these posts? What? Do every time we share a thread or post, the doorbell rings on your computer -- and you're forced to stop what you're doing & go lurk or answer? (We impose less than any doorbell)
Your arguments resemble more of the Pharisees of old as they battled the Lord & His new doctrine, than they do someone comfortable in their own skin & religion. They got mad at Him as well because He said their creeds/teachings (to use the vernacular) were an abomination. They were quite offended, just as you are. Interesting.
As far as Making folks read your threads, most don’t anymore except when you hi-jack other’s which is becoming more & more frequent, kind of like kicking the door in. Interesting as well.
I have a lot of fun in store for this weekend. By best to you as you undoubtedly continue your “work” here. I really can’t imagine anyone interpreting the scriptures to say that one should be angry & hostile as you & the cabal seem to be on a daily basis. There’s a lot of happiness to be had outside of your “work” here. Go find it. You’ll be blessed for doing so. Even if it doesn’t involve the Mormons or their beliefs.
