Last I heard it isn't against the law to be a Mormon.

Do you believe in religious freedom?

Whether you approve or not, "all are precious in His sight." And that includes Mormons.

I believe Rush would call it “using absurdity to highlight the absurd.” Saundra’s post is timely and relevant - debating where LDS stands (or doesn’t) in the Christian spectrum is one thing; comparing it to Jonestown or that Heaven’s Gate is quite another.

Mainstream mormonism is a cult. The LDS offshoot sect that rejected FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith's retranslation of the bible as a fraud is beyond cult. The entire mormon story begins with "God(s)" appearing to Joseph to tell him to not be a christian because the bible is mistranslated. Smith retranslates it, you guys keep his Book of mormon as "the most correct book on earth" but throw his retranslation of the bible in the dumpster.

A case could be made, lawyer, that you're all just plain nuts....and that goes for Romney too.

Christians are not the ones who started this battle back in the 1830s when a NY conman fortune teller stumbled out of the woods claiming he had seen various angels, God, Jesus and others and all had better follow him and every word he sputtered or else he would stand in the doorway to heaven and keep all the “unbelievers” out.

He threw down the gauntlet to the Christian churches, they picked it up and his mormon followers have been whining about “mormon haters” ever since when they get their behinds handed to them in any debate

That post is a keeper, RDB.

A hatred so blind, so relentless, it neglects the pressing nature of evil for one so entrenched in dogma and selectively-edited history that it boggles the mind. God did not put us here to selectively prosecute evil, or perceived evil for that matter at the neglect of evil wholesale. These people are lost in hate futile.

Photobucket

ROTFL...Thanks Sandy, for bringing the hateFULL mormons out of the woodwork for a change...everyone can see just where the "persecution card" is played the way Obama plays the race card.

FR doesn’t worship a false God.

Worshiping a false god cannot be part of any useful definition of the word cult. Otherwise, all religions except mine would be cults.

All good points, but Mitt Romney will never be President of these United States.

"A cult, then, is a group of people polarized around someone's interpretation of the Bible and is characterized by major deviations from orthodox Christianity relative to the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith, particularly the fact that God became man in Jesus Christ (Walter Martin, The Rise of the Cults, p. 12)"

Cults are typically characterized by:

a) A "new" truth after the completion of the Canon of Scripture.

b) Non-Biblical source of Authority.

c) Another Jesus.

d) Rejection of Orthodox Christianity.

e) Non-Biblical teaching on the nature of God (Rejection of the Trinity).

f) Changing Theology.

g) Strong authoritarian leadership.

h) Salvation by Works.

i) False Prophecy.

It might be noted that nearly every denomination lasts for about 200 years with orthodox doctrines and then nearly all of them have a faction which slips out of fellowship by succumbing to extended doctrine a bit further than what has been provided in Scripture by His Word. Even amongst rather orthodox denominations, while the bulk of their doctrines are sound, some discerning bits of doctrine arise differentiating that denomination from another and causing fracture within the Body of Christ. Such mainline denominational differences are not sufficient to bring upon the label of "cult" although they might be properly described as 'extra-Biblical' or unorthodox in their interpretations.

Such believers who slip into those areas aren't getting away with anything, for they merely fall out of fellowship and other indicators arise regarding their degeneration from sanctification. The only true thinking is that which concurs with God the Holy Spirit, which He uses to grow the soul and spirit of the believer in fellowship with Him.

When you have only a one-note message, any excuse [or no excuse at all] to air your grievance will do.

They Shoot Mormons, Don't They? Religious Bigotry, alive and well today
