Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
and JUST HOW is quoting scripture about Satan appearing as an angel of light and questioning your experience, reveal that * I* have little faith in the Word of God?
But since you appear to be unaware of this verse I referred to, I will post it for you.
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Cor 11:14)
That doesn’t even make sense.
Resty, I accept the BIBLE as the Word of God alone. And the Bible NEVER tells us to pray about it’s truthfulness. We don’t need to.
And you still didn’t tell me just how you KNOW it was the Holy Ghost. That “burning in the bosom” could have just been heartburn.
Sorry word order issues:

Thanks for posting that. I never knew why the lds would not sing what is considered an “essential” christian hymn. Now I know.

No one I know is afraid of your creepy friends. Should we be?
you are welcome. I was surprised the first time I looked in an LDS hymnal and saw “Amazing Grace” wasn’t there. Should have been my first cue to get out of there.
They have also changed the lyrics to several “traditional Christian” hymns. Someday I am going to go thru the LDS hymnal and some of my Christian hymnals and log the differences.
John 14
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you
But the LDS don’t get the Holy Spirit until after they are baptized.
The “other comforter” is the Holy Spirit, but it comes by faith. And the Holy Spirit does not leave the believer, but the LDS teaches He CAN leave if the person isn’t “worthy”.
Also, notice that faith comes BEFORE works, not the other way around. Christians do good works BECAUSE we have faith, not in order to have faith or be “worthy”.
Once again, LDS twisting scripture. *sigh*
And it still doesn’t mean that it was the HOLY GHOST that witnessed to you.
There is a VERY big difference between what the LDS think is the Holy Ghost, and what having the Holy Ghost really feels like. I have been on both sides of that one, and I would NEVER EVER go back to being LDS.
Actually having the Holy Spirit indwelling, is so much better than the “burning in the bosom” the LDS claim.

Resty, Satan quoted scripture to Jesus in the Wilderness. Try some other shamanistic tactic, hypocrit.
Resty, you are apparently incapable of understanding the pre-crucifixion messages of Jesus regarding His Holy Spirit to His disciples, and the era of Christian advent following the resurrection and indwelling Holy Spirit for those ‘faithing’ in His deliverance. Not surprising since Mormonism makes a living on deceiving people.
No, no,no thats not it. It was from a song I was thinking of. I heard it a long time ago and the lyrics were if not identical then VERY similar. Could that sermon have been taken from the original song?
So wait, you dont think that Joseph (aka Joey) Smith knew Christ either?
Pfffft! ... Joe Smith was of his father, the father of lies, a murderer from the start, as shown by his lack of moral compass fer shur.
Anyone who “knows Christ” doesn’t claim to be Him, and/or hold the keys to heaven, which one can get into only by giving Joseph Smith a secret password after they die.
"Josiah Stowell, a Mormonite, being sworn, testified that he positively knew that said Smith never had lied to, or deceived him, and did not believe he ever tried to deceive any body else. The following questions were then asked him, to which he made the replies annexed.Did Smith ever tell you there was money hid in a certain glass which he mentioned?
Yes.
Did he tell you, you could find it by digging?
Yes.
Did you dig?
Yes.
Did you find any money?
No.
Did he not lie to you then, and deceive you?
No! the money was there, but we did not get quite to it!
How do you know it was there?
Smith said it was!
Addison Austin was next called upon, who testified, that at the very same time that Stowell was digging for money, he, Austin, was in company with said Smith alone, and asked him to tell him honestly whether he could see this money or not.
Smith hesitated some time, but finally replied, "to be candid, between you and me, I cannot, any more than you or any body else; but any way to get a living."
Here, then, we have his own confession, that he was a vile, dishonest impostor.
As regards the testimony of Josiah Stowell, it needs no comment. He swears positively that Smith did not lie to him. So much for a Mormon witness."
Fer sure dude. TOtally!
What was that part about the Appendage?
Could that sermon have been taken from the original song?
- - - - - -
Or vice versa, the sermon by S.M Lockridge was from the 1950’s (IIRC).
I dont know, but maybe. The song does have a very hard beat - kind of like mid 70s rock. I guess it could have been an adaptation. It is driving me crazy now. Googling does nothing.
OUCH!!
(and bravo)
