Galatians 1: 7-9, the words of Paul to Christians tempted to consider new “revelations”—
You know that Galatians was written before Revelations and John, right? If we take your interpretation of scripture, then those have to be cut out of the Bible... I'd rather keep the Gospel of John thanks.
As for Galatians, I believe Paul was talking about the Apostasy from Knowledge that happened in 325 AD, you know it as the First council of Nicea, where the Nicene creed was created by a pagan to make the gospel more palatable to the citizens of Rome.
Not going to spam the thread, but
look here for links to sources in the Catholic encyclopedia on line.
We are all free of ignore evidence that does not support our position, that won't make your/my position more "correct" and it's God's opinion that matters, not your or mine. I have looked at your side, care to look, honestly look, at mine? No? well, you won't be able to tell God I didn't try.
As for Jim's site, yes it is his site. He is free to break the rules he has set up for the rest of us, he has the power to do so. He does not have the power to control the reaction to the rule breaking at the top.
Your invented theology is offensive to many of us, but we can still be associates and workers together in conservative causes if you would just leave your book of mormon in the drawer with your holy underwear when you’re on FR.
I would argue that your invented theology is offensive, but now we get to the rub, if "right" is up to a vote then Jesus was wrong, for he was outvoted by the Sanhedrin, if majority rule is not God's way (and it's not) then how many people are on what side does not matter.
As for leaving my religion at home. There is a religion area here. I have never gone to any thread about any other religion and posted my beliefs or demeaned their religion. I will defend my religion from unreasoning and unreasonable attacks on this or any forum. I have been a member of Freerepublic for many many years, I have never been banned because I have striven to obey the rules, even when others broke them blatantly.
You want us to not post religious things here, fine, do away with the section, no attackers, no defense. I for one was very frustrated when Mitt Romney ran for president last time. I wanted to talk about his Conservative credentials (or more specifically the lack of them) and could never have a political conversation because all the antis wanted to do was talk religion. Go Google me and Mitt, and look you'll see that that was and is my position, so take away the religion area here, you won't hurt my feelings, but since it's here, I will post until banned in defense of what God himself has testified to me.
Delphi I asked you a simple question which you have not answered.
Which bible do you use, the Joseph Smith Translation, "corrected" and written by the man you claim communed with God himself and founded your church.....Or the King James Version which Brigham Young ordered to be used after he declared the JST "spurious" and a fraud ?
Simple question, JST or KJV ?
ATTENTION LURKERS...WITNESS MORMON SPIN IN ACTION.

I have no power whatsoever to take away a forum or institute one. Only Jim Robinson can do that, and he’s let his feelings on the matter of your offensive LSD threads be known. So be the good FReeper you say you are and desist.
It’s absurd for you to try to equate mormon myths with the writings of John the Apostle. Other than the obvious, the biggest difference is that John’s writings are not a “new” gospel, but rather are in agreement with all Jesus taught. Your mormon re-inventions are not.
I generally skip the mormon discussions, just too much foolishness there. I long ago realized that (ironically) the Apostle John told Christ’s followers to avoid troublemakers, to turn them away.
II John 7-11:
“I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work. “
