I won’t be on I80 till spring. *sigh*.
Repression?
Projecting?
There are over thirteen million Mormons. The article begins with false information. By the way, Jesus Christ is my Savior and I love Him with all my heart. I thank Heavenly Father for His Plan of Salvation and the Holy Ghost seals this in my heart. I am a Mormon. I wish people would stop posting articles about what they think we believe. Ignorance is not bliss.
So we should not take the BOM and other LDS doctrine seriously then.
Good to know, though I think many of us were already aware of that....
However isn't it odd that you would follow a "faith" based on a book that is not to be taken seriously? And getting the name of Christ all caught up in that as well, wow...
(I will spare you the whole "ignorance" matter...)
LDS Plan of Salvation
In this particular case, I think ignorance will ultimately be rather painful...
There are over thirteen million Mormons. The article begins with false information.
Truth does not come by numbers. Muslims, Catholics, Evangelicals, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews all have more than 13M members. Numbers does not make one “truer” than another.
Secondly, the statement is not dated, so it is entirely possible, even likely that this statement is several years old. The fact that gives a specific number would corroborate that.
Finally, even your 13 million claim is misleading. The LDS church still includes “inactive” members who do not bother to take their names off the rolls. Several studies have shown, in recent years, that activity of LDS members is only about 50%. The 12 Milllion number includes many who no longer consider themselves LDS.
The “active” number is closer to 6.5 million, and if half of those live in the US, then it is about 3.25 Million, a fairly small percentage of the population.
By the way, Jesus Christ is my Savior and I love Him with all my heart.
Define Savior. What does He save you from? Not having a body? What do you have to do in order to live with Heavenly Father again? According to LDS doctrine is Jesus enough? Or do you have to do a number of other things as well? Is Jesus Lord of your life, even to the exclusion of membership in any church? Or is he just more of a “janitor” who cleans up your “mistakes”, the sins you can’t repent of and make up on your own?
I am a Mormon. I wish people would stop posting articles about what they think we believe.
I don’t have to go with what I “think” the LDS believe. I’ve been there. Read the book, saw the movie, wore the garments. I KNOW what the LDS teaches. And I now know what the Bible teaches, and the Bible contradicts LDS teachings, every one of them.
And I wish Mormons would be more forthcoming on the “meat” doctrines rather than just posting nice, meaningless phrases hoping that Christians will assume they mean the same thing. It is the height of deception.
By the way, Jesus Christ is my Savior

Something to pad out your comment ???
Add some credance to the pagan stuff ???

OK that tells us plenty...
As for me Jesus is foremost in my thoughts and life...
I am a believer...
The Jesaus ofd the Bible told us to be believers, not mormons...
Christians follow Christ Jesus...
mormons follow Joey Smith and his macaroni angel book of mormon....
I wish mormons would stop lying about Jesus and the Christians...
Mormonism is not Christianity...
Ok...
Still at it I see...
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
Moab is farther south than that!
Just about as far west as one can get on I-80 in Utah...
And it ends with TRUTH?
IF some info is FALSE; why don't you do the LURKERS a favor and correct it!
Looks like your’e stepping in the salt flats :)
*AHEM*
The angel of Lucifer was
MORONICK

Get it right, pagan-presbyterian sympathizer!

Just arrived in Folsom. Fought the snow up at Donner Summit. Four days with the grandsons down here. Their parents too.
The message was sent from my Blackberry. Letters so small this old turd can’t properly see to type.
Meant to communicate with you as well in previous message.
I will be doing the Danish dinner this week. Lutheran food all the way!
My Intel Corp kid is taking good care of us.
