Just having a hard time accepting some of their threads (like this one for example) that I find extremely offensive. I’m at the point that I’m not going to allow any protected LDS/Mormon Caucus threads on FR. You can’t post offensive stuff like this and expect Christians not to object to it.

Thanks much, Jim!

ALL: Jim has assumed a very reasoned position.

And I'll show you that from the article posted itself.

Paragon Defender published a piece with several provocative references:

Reference I From the article: ...(Joseph Smith—History 1:15). With every bit of energy Joseph had, he began to call upon God to deliver him from the grasp of this enemy. “At the very moment when I was ready to sink into despair and abandon myself to destruction … , I saw a pillar of light. … “It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound” (Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17)...

Anyone familiar with Joseph Smith-History will know that if you continue beyond verses 15-17 as cited into verses 18-20, they reference ALL Christians as "corrupt"...
...ALL of their creeds as an "abomination"...
...They are ALL wrong, etc.

The entire "First Vision" of Mormonism is highly provocative to Christians...and Mormons somehow keep expecting that we won't be provoked by references to an incident where extreme mudslinging was done on our creeds and those of us who profess Christianity!

Reference II from the article: The First Vision in the grove, the translation of the Book of Mormon, the REVISION of the Bible...laid the basic foundation of the Church, largely through the rapidly expanding knowledge and testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith...

So anybody can just come along, not know Greek & Hebrew, rewrite the Bible...and Christians will respond, "ho-hum???"

So if I rewrite the Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants, & the Pearl of Great Price -- and then post a "caucus" article announcing such a "revision," Mormons won't be provoked by that & are expected to obey some "Keep out!" sign??? REALLY??????

I can't believe how two-faced so many Mormons are!!! WHAT YOU WOULDN'T DARE STAND FOR for one measley second IF DONE TO YOUR 'SACRED WORKS' -- YET YOU FEEL YOU CAN JUST COME ALONG, TOSS THIS 'REWRITE' IN OUR FACES, AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO JUST BE 100% NON-REACTIVE TO THAT??? REALLY???

Reference III from the article: One could research the numerous topics and cross-references of the Topical Guide and Guide to the Scriptures referring to Jesus Christ and still not understand the breadth of information on the Savior that the Prophet Joseph Smith brought to the world.

I have a copy of that Topical Guide published by the Mormons...I'll reference that in one of my ensuing posts.
