Resty, according to your religion, Jesus wasn't even ALWAYS!
He was the firstborn "spirit child" born of spirit sex between the spirit "heavenly father" and one of the many spirit "heavenly mothers".
He was created as a spirit through spirit sex, and then created as a human through physical sex when "heavenly father" came down and "did" his OWN DAUGHTER, the suddenly-no-longer-vigin Mary.
It's presposterous, blasphemous and disgusting.
Straight out of Harry Reid's playbook.
Second - it is ‘the Lord’s annointed servant’ Joseph Smith. Notice Smith is the only one with adjectives attached?
Next they will be posting “Praise to the Man”...
That's true. It really is the Church of Joseph Smith and sometimes Christ*.
* Not the Christ of the bible.
Focus on what binds us to Christ not what divides us....

How can we when the LDS believe in a DIFFERENT CHRIST? Their own prophet said so.
Do not confuse CHRISTIAN unity with Universalism (which includes non-Christians).
I say this a lot, but I used to be Mormon. I know their beliefs, their teachings and how they spin things to make those who know nothing or little about Mormonism think they are Christians.
Don’t fall for their propaganda, please. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about Mormonism (with their own sources).
Makes you wonder what Joseph’s pick up line was?
What’s your sign?

Joseph to other men’s wives: “Hey, babe! God spoke to me
about YOU!”
Caucus threads are not missionary outreaches; they are closed threads for people of like mind to discuss their beliefs amongst themselves, without being ridiculed.
So when the Catholics here want to discuss some bizarre aspect of their religion, like eating Christ’s body and worrying about dropping crumbs on the floor, they can do so without others making fun of them.
And when Presbyterians want to discuss their strange opinions on God choosing everybody, and all of us being predestined one way or another, they can do so without the free-will’ers laughing at them.
And so on. We all have our particular denominational beliefs, and might well find other beliefs to be bizarre or strange or even blasphemous. But this is a primarily political forum, where we have a common goal of pushing the political conservative movement.
So to the degree we have religious discussions at all, it’s a sidebar to what is advertised as the primary goal of the forum, something that seems to meet the needs of some members for discussing their own peculiar faiths while still being part of the larger whole.
Given the Caucus rules, it would be impossible for your to “battle with the likes” of a relgious group posting caucus threads — no battles are allowed.
“There was no proselytizing just Good Will to counter act all of the anti LDS daily propaganda!”
..........
Resty, all I can tell you is that I began posting in response
to the proselytizing and false claims of Mormonism. This was
at least 5 years ago - maybe more. I only posted in response
to the heresy that was posted.

Mromon apologist tactics are very much like islamic "lawfare", and the targets are very much the same, people that leave the "religion" are targets #1.
Somebody has got to photoshop a white shirt and missionary tag on the islamic rage boy picture ! :)
Nowhere in the Bible does it say to pray to know truth. Feelings are just that, not objective measurements of truth. That doesn’t mean we aren’t to pray, but we are not to pray to know something that can be objectively discovered. Do you pray to know if gravity is true?
Additionally, Moroni’s promise is a ‘catch 22’. It says you must be sincere, pray with real intent, and have faith in Christ and you will get the answer the the BoM is ‘true’.
So...if you get an answer that it is not, then there must be something wrong with you (either you don’t have faith, you aren’t sincere, no real intent). You get yourself into this point where you keep praying until you convince yourself that it is ‘true’.
It is a common brainwashing technique.
“By obedience and devotion to the truth he attained that pinnacle of intelligence which ranked him as a God, as the Lord Omnipotent, while yet in his pre-existent state.”—Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 129
Resty, I honestly don't get why JimRob hasn't banned you yet. You personally insult him and slander him, both to his face and snidely.
You DO understand you are his GUEST, don't you?
did Joseph Smith poke around with women ( married and teenagers) or not? Seriously...
If you can prove me wrong, then I will apologies to you and every other Mormon here. But if you find that he did, would you start to wonder what kind of prophet would resort to such carnal lust if he had truly been visited by Jesus and God?
At one time I was thinking on becoming a mormon, that was until I did some research on it. Coming to Free Republic saved me and my family from making a big mistake.

PRAISE GOD!! I used to bemoan my time in the LDS church, but now I can see that God has used my knowledge and experience of the LDS to reach and witness to others and I am humbly grateful for that. All Glory to Him!
Now the guys pulling the curtain strings are a horse of a different color.
LOL!
I am not Mormon and I smoke and I drink
_______________________________________________
Whats smoking and drinking got to do with anything ???
Joey Smith and Briggie Young both drank booze...
Smith smoked while Young denounced it as unhealthy but hew didnt ban it...
But Joey Smith ran a bar in his hotel...
and wrote a doctrine of bathing in the stuff...
and Briggie Young had a monopoly on the beer industry in the Utah territory with his own huge brewery...
and the booze of all kinds flowed at Briggies parties...
and mormon do have to “sustain” Smith anfd Young...
Praise the Lord ! I too was led to salvation by Freeper defenders of Christianity !
Actually, Jim, I think this is consistent with the rules that were discussed when the "new" religion mod took up the mantle.
While caucuses, devotionals, etc., were allowed it was stated at the time that a caucus TITLE or the content of a caucus THREAD could not be worded in such a way as to provoke others. "Joseph Smith: an apostle of Jesus Christ" is a bit of a red flag, wouldn't you think?
"Joseph Smith: founder of the Mormon movement" would be a title that wouldn't provoke. It would just be a statement of fact.
The Relig Mod might remember all this. I'm pretty sure that I do.
Hard to believe these people could imagine this of Christ when His Crucifixtion and Resurrection was all about SAVING the life of those who trust in His finished work.
...Which then it is easy to assume they do not worship the same Christ of Christinaity by any means.....but one who was created and promoted by Joseph Smith... who himself was an occultist.
Equally troubling is how many posters relate of how "nice" and 'pleasant' Mormon people are. Forgetting that the enemy of mens souls masqurades as an angel of light... and so no secret those who follow false and dangerous teachings would also do so. Many Occultists and new Agers also give the impression of being "nice"..."family oriented"..and "friendly".
And least we forget....when satan appeared to Eve he was equally attractive or she would not have given him the time of day.
