Elsie, I nominate you for the post of the week.

Right now; I am weak from posting.

[eastforker]

You keep telling me that statement is in error. Tell me and everyone else how that is in error. Do you not believe in the OT?

[greyfoxx39]

So, why didn't you just post the whole thing in the open forum? There isn't anything in there you haven't said before.

THAT said, why didn't you send the FReepmail to the Religion Moderator via FReepmail and make your case THAT way instead of violating the rule that he just re-stated about never posting FReepmails on the open forum?

Clever girl. /sarc

[Elsie]

Freepmail is used by many other than in reply to a thread. I contact lots of friends about things that have nothing to do with a thread or even FR.

Sigh...

Do you know how to write or edit source code?

[greyfoxx39]

I’ll label my threads PRO-CHRIST and you can label yours ANTI-CHRIST?
That would have the added benefit of Full Disclosure.

Shirt is in the mail!

[restornu]

The first violation was not even address when it was discussed twiice on open thread leaving every one wondering what scathing thing I said!

Reply was a I disagree not degradiing!

[Elsie]

Many things MHGinTN has said are not completely accurate and being one person it hard for me to keep up with everyone

Then just pick ONE ALMOST accurate thing and make it FULLY accurate.

SURELY you could do that.

After all; you seen to be able to QUOTE the KJV bible, even though your very own CHOSEN religious Organization has CLAIMED that some/half/most of it MAY not be TRANSLATED correctly.

[eastforker]

Yeah and Abraham married his half sister, pimped her out to the Pharoah, Moses married his daddy’s sister and Lot got both his daughters pregnant. Does that mean we should just preach all about that histopry also? Degenerate bunch wasn’t it.

[SENTINEL]

"Do you not believe in the OT?

Which Old Testament, OUR KJV, or YOUR Joseph Smith Translation ? It would be very disrespectful of any true believing mormon to disregard the one the man you claim "communed with God" worked three years to "correct".

I'll tell you as I have other mormons here, you stand on contested ground when referencing the bible. Your founder wrote the JST, YOU OWN IT. Be prepared to defend it.

[colorcountry]

Degenerate bunch wasn’t it.

Sure was...and we still are. That's why Christ came. To save us, if we but recognize our degeneracy and ask and believe.

[greyfoxx39]

I SAID you didn’t say anything that you hadn’t said on a daily basis in the open forum. So why FReepmail it?

[eastforker]

I am not a Mormon but I was refering to the KJV.

[eastforker]

I am not a Mormon but I was refering to the KJV.But lets see, thats missing a few scriptures also according to some, I think the Jews said that, but, they are not christians either are they?

[Colofornian]

I’m not telling anyone “what” to believe, I’m pointing out “what” is in error or is not truthful in a particular religion. [Szonian, post #1,947]
That is one of the most contradictory statement I have ever read. By telling them that their belief is wrong or untruthful you are in fact telling them not to bel;ieve it. [Eastforker, post # 1,951]

Uh...Eastforker...are you telling Szonian that his belief in pointing out falsehoods held by others is a "wrong or untruthful" tenet he holds? Are you telling Szonian not to believe that he has an obligation to point out spiritual falsehood when he discerns it? (Or that he shouldn't practice such beliefs?)

...it is not my place to tell anyone what to believe or not to believe. [eastforker, post 1942]

But wait a minute. Less than 17 minutes after you told this to Reaganaut, you told Szonian that his beliefs & practice of those beliefs (post #1951) was "contradictory." To partially use your own words -- with slight adjustments in bold face: "By telling them [Szonian] that his belief is contradictory you are in fact telling them not to believe [or practice] it."

And even IF what Szonian said was "contradictory," why should YOU of all people care about that? I mean, didn't you say in post #1,942 that you "don't hold one religion as being...more truthful over other religions"??? Doesn't that mean you give credence that all religious claims to truth are equally valid? (A form of spiritual relativism). Therefore, if you adhere to religious relativism, isn't a "contradictory" statement just as valid as a non-contradictory statement of faith?

This is why I don’t hold one religion as being superior or more truthful over other religions [Eastforker, post 1942]

...Apparently except for the "religion" of Eastforker (whatever it is -- even if constructed from scrap). Whatever religious vantage points you have are obviously more "superior" -- elsewise you wouldn't hold those vantage points, now would you? (You would have moved on to something else by now).
