Didn't Jo Smith start this dispensation? He was all for polygamy. When did we start a new dispensation?

As you no doubt know but pretend not to, the answer to all of your questions, with the exception of the last one,is NO. And the reason in each case that Christian proselytizing is illegal in the countries you listed.....

[MississippiMan]

Amen to wonderful news.

Franklin's group ought to be banned.

The SBCs can go in if they refrain from making stupid public statements about "evil and wicked religion," "moon god," and "paedophile."

What's the matter ... truth hurt ?

This dispensation was begun by none other than Jesus Christ. The practice of polygamy therein was suspended in 1890. But, then, you knew that.....

[RnMomof7]

Polygamy is not permitted of LDS in this dispensation. But, then, you knew that and decided to take a shot, untruthful or not, anyway.

It remains a doctrine of the LDS church. It is only suspended not revoked. As you know

[Centurion2000]

Christians havbe spent the last 2,000 years killing anyone who disagrees with them in the smallest matters of dogma

Name the last Christian on Christian war ... I promise you that I can find a more recent muslim on muslim war ... Christianity matured, islam did not.

[Wrigley]

Do you see a difference between suspended and not allowed?

"This is a perfect example of what turned me away from Christianity in the first place....

Christtans are just as bad as those damn Jehova Witnesses that come around knockin."

Unless one of those Christians or "damn Jehova Witnesses" has held a gun to your head demanding that you 'convert or else,' or actually harassed you, please spare us your silly hypersensitive aversion to the occasional simple evangelism...

Or perhaps you feel arrests are in order for the offense?

This dispensation was begun by none other than Jesus Christ. The practice of polygamy therein was suspended in 1890.

Are you saying polygamy was practiced from the time of Christ until it was "suspended" in 1890?

Or was there just a window of opportunity there when JS proclaimed "marry 'em if you got 'em?"

[Alex Murphy]

The practice of polygamy therein was suspended only in regards to this life in 1890. But, then, you knew that.....

[Alex Murphy]

You are referring to California...

California is a much different case. They're not doing it out of religious persecution. They're burning severed heads on stakes to save money on utility costs.

[SoulStorms]

Plans Under Way for Christianizing the Enemy GREAT NEWS!!!Nowhere in the Christian Bible can you find scripture stating that Christians must slaughter non-believers. It would be a welcome change...

It will be said that the rush to "Christianize" the Iraqis is proof that this was a crusade. It will be said that there is little difference between killing non-believers, and rushing in to preach after someone else has killed them.

To make matters worse, the issue will be framed in such a way that it will look like the President's crusade. You can already see the tie-ins being made in this article between the missionaries and George Bush.

Sometimes wisdom is shown not by knowing what to say, but by knowing when to say it. For these aggressive Christian ministries, it is time to show that wisdom.

Right you are....

LOL!! Does beach-bleached hair burn more efficiently? Have a good Easter weekend....

One is temporary and the other most likely is not....

[Fred Hayek]

"The only culture that I know of which has done it is the Japanese, and they are good imitators."

You can thank Douglas MacAthur for that one, since he had a major role in writing the postwar Japanese constitution. MacArthur was a Christian.

[tracer]

Not at all. LDS believe that this is the last ("latter-day") dispensation, the "Dispensation of the Fulness of Times."

Quotation: "I don't care how you bring 'em, just bring 'em young." Told to me by a fellow church member who doesn't take things in an excessively serious manner..... 8~)

[Wrigley]

So would you agree that polygamy is suspended now? I've heard Mormons right here on FR who have said that.
