You still bringing up that crap again?!?! Give it a rest.

BTW, taking the name of God is a sin, cussing may be unflattering but isn’t a sin. However, in MORMONISM cussing IS a sin.

And yes, I am a Christian, warts and all.

BTW, I told Greg west to STFU on an open thread. That doesn’t make me not a Christian.

OY!

One thing would be nice is if those who opposed the LDS would clarify their thread title(Anti LDS) So other posters are not confused and blame the LDS for all those non-descript Open threads

Why would we do that? We post directly from LDS sources, with the LDS links. Do you REALLY advocate a thread that is titled, "This is belief direct from LDS sources, it's just posted by someone who thinks it is a bunch of hooey"? IMO that would probably garner MORE readers, LOL. It sounds to me like you are just trying to convince the powers that be to totally change forum rules to suit mormons, OR to DELETE the RF entirely to suit your wishes.

I also think as an LDS when reading the title Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ it would not register in our minds the way others would perceived it.

Perception of material written by and for mormons is no concern of mormons or mormon leaders. The superior attitude that has carried down from Joseph Smith's time dictates that mormons are justified in going about the world claiming a "Great Apostasy" and "Restoration of Jesus' Gospel" and "We are the ONLY true church". Nothing has changed that would suggest perception by Christians is a factor.

Someone could have fleepmail PD and tell him that title would be to offensive to others it needs to be tone

WHAT? Are you suggesting that the mods have time to edit individual threads and make gentle suggestions to posters that they might offend someone, so they should "tone it down"? Restornu, if you are looking for a forum where mormons are gonna get all this "special" treatment, I suggest you start one. Better yet, stick with the hundreds of mormon sites where everyone is on the same non-Christian page.

Then again maybe it would be best not to have a Religion Forum....your way or the highway, huh?

Hogwash, we were both told not to contact each other after that blowup, yet you ignore that and keep pining me anyway.

Proverbs 10:9

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

Leviticus 19:16
‘Do not go about spreading slander among your people.

Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 34:13
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.

Psalm 37:30
The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.

Psalm 101:5
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

Proverbs 11: 9;13
With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape... A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

Proverbs 12:6

Wait, I thought your point was that I am a jerk. How does Reganaut’s post 1827 prove your point?

Alright, I can’t wait till next summer/fall.

LOL on the f-bombs. But even if you did, I wouldn’t question your Christianity.

I just don’t think Christians should attack other Christians, like I have seen done on this thread.

If that is what you believe, then I suggest you stop the attacks you've been making on other Christians immediately.

BTW, Mormonism is not Christian.

I don’t think Christians should attack other Chrsitians either, but Mormons are just as lost as athiests. They are not Christians and what we are doing isn’t ‘attacking’ it is trying to get them to look at their church objectively.

Coming from a cult you should know how hard it is to leave false teachings behind.

So your point was that T is a sweet compassionate and loving Christian?

Because she is and she is my dear sister in Christ and I love her very much.

I don’t deny it. What is pathetic is that you keep bringing it up like it is some ‘gotcha’ or proves I’m not a Christian.

All it does is embarrass you.

Back in the day, I used to work on a combine crew and could make sailors blush.

God has done a lot of work in me but I’m not finished yet.

Mormonism is not Christian....HOWEVER: Some Mormons here say that DO believe in JOHN 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

WHo are you to say they are not a Christian????

You can say the religious doctrine of Mormonism is not Christian, but you cannot JUDGE a Man’s heart who says they have accepted Jesus Christ into thier heart for the remission of sins....

Why they are in a Mormom Temple is none of your buisness, maybe they are thier out of respect for parents or grandparents....You can share the Holy Scriptures with them but you cannot condemn them from not being a *Christian*

I never questioned your Christianity. MHGinTN just questioned someones Mormonism. I just used your foul mouth as an example that it can work both ways.
