The question on the table was "Give an example of a "lie" they told."

The statement of yours that I pointed out was "mentions of the Cross are deleted from the mormon versions [of hymns]."

Since that statement is not true, as shown further down-thread, it was being presented as an example.

So we have only a few remaining options. Either you were misinformed (or assumed incorrectly) or you were knowingly lying. Deeper in that thread you stated "Well, I'll be...thanks for correcting me. I didn't have time to go through ALL the hymns, and am glad to see that you haven't done away with the Cross in some." So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - you were misinformed. So while you may not have been intentionally lying, it certainly was an un-truth.

As for responding to other more meaningful doctrine, I (and others) have tried in the past. In the end any attempt at civil discourse falls apart into spamfests or subject changing (alas, often from both sides).

My schedule prevents me from stepping into these threads much anymore, but when I see something blatantly incorrectly on such a base level, I will attempt to correct for it. While we may never agree on the nature of God, a suggestion that Mormons refuse to sing about the cross implies something much more evil than nuances on salvation.

So then...

It appears that Greyfoxx39 merely has to show a Christian hymn with the CROSS removed by an anonymous MORMON editor, and you'll change your tune?

True; we can't even agree that the demonic PERSONAGES that appeared to Joseph Smith were NOT from 'god'.

IMO that is a ridiculous accusation. "Nuances on SALVATION"? You may find salvation less important than words in a hymn, but Christians certainly do not.

I find your whole argument regarding "lies" on this thread unconvincing when mormonism has completely shattered the Bible's message and contrived a fiction in the Book of Mormon and the best evidence presented in your posts is such thin gruel.
