I know GF - I encounter that with many of the LDS posters - especially with those who are senior in the LDS church.
Quite simply, they are used to getting their way by demanding obedience.
That doesn't work here, and it certainly does not work to those Christians who are inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak the truth in love.
When an LDS poster tells me (I am paraphrasing): "You need to REPENT of your blasphemy!" - I am really quite amused. The blasphemy is really theirs, and to demand we stop pointing it out is ludicrous.

On another note ... there will be the most beautiful music in Heaven! I just found out today that Pedro Eustache, the Wind insturments artist working with Yanni on his world tours IS A CHRISTIAN! If you ever hear him play the Duduk you will ‘get it’.

The blasphemy is really theirs, and to demand we stop pointing it out is ludicrous. That's amusing, because Mormonism itself IS the blasphemy. It blasphemes the Lord Jesus Christ by claiming He is the brother of Lucifer, that He is not Jehovah incarnated in human flesh, that He is just some man who ascended to godhood, etc. - and to top it off, it has the gall to pretend that it is a "biblical" religion, thus denigrating God's holy Word as well.
No offence to the Mods, but I'm going to point out the errors of Mormonism as much as I can. If they want to ban me, go ahead, at least I'll get banned for doing something right.

Those News Forum posts are not acceptable on the Religion Forum
because they are "making it personal."
If you want to address them, do it on the News Forum threads. Do not repeat them here whether directly, by excerpt or by link.

So this visitor center is more to preach against Mormons then it is to preach the Gospel? Sorry but that is not Christian, and neither are you. So this visitor center is more to yank kids playing in the street away from traffic, thAn it is to let them have the FREEDOM to do as they wish?
Sorry but that is not American, and neither are you.

We beheld the statues, that were posed in dramatic fashion, pointing across the river (I guess, to emphasize the move westward). I dont know who they were supposed to represent, Smiths, Young? These guys?

However, if you will permit me, it is wrong for you to ignore the comments of some that clearly are more antagonistic than others - and then to say you don't care who "started it.". Middle school hall monitors get no respect!

On the FLDS thread, one of the mormonism defenders is ignored even when calling an oppostion person a homo. Can't you just FEEL the love!

HMmmm...
I wonder WHY??
Articles of Faith
The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor, in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed. They were subsequently published in Church periodicals. They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535541
- We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
- We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
- We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
- We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
- We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
- We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
- We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
- We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
- We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
- We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
- We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
- We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
- We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of PaulWe believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
