I find it hilarious that it appears your posts defend mormonism when to mormons, since you are non-mormon you are by default a "gentile"....

My, that appears to be a VERY "holier-than-thou" post....just as expected.
FR has LOTS of forums that "forward the conservative cause"...this one is....wait for it....about RELIGION! And, IIRC, you claim to be neither Christian or mormon....
One wonders if there is a new sect devoted to "showing one's (questionable) superiority in five easy steps."
So you don’t believe your way is the only way?
Hum...

You have posted elsewhere that you are a believer in the "G_d of the Jews." Odd the you would criticize those who hold to only one way of salvation. It seems that the God you worship had a lot of statements which the universalists would condemn as "narrow-minded."
“Holier-than-thou” is an attitude more than anything
I totally agree. Thanks for providing us Exhibit A in post 59: "it’s amusing at times."
Christians have no right to be proud and adopt a "holier than thou" attitude. Our only contribution to our salvation was creating the problem with our sin that God had to send his Son to fix.
“DISCOVER THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELVES INSTEAD OF THROUGH THE FILTERS OF HATRED “
1. I’m not seeing hatred of a person, persons or individuals.
2. Despising heresy is BIBLICAL.
3. Opposing heresy is BIBLICAL.
4. Unmasking heresy is BIBLICAL.
Your post is simply your opinion, linked to a cultic source, which is NOT Biblical.

I see that you’re new to these discussions. We already have one Mormon whose job it is to respond to every statement and question with a bunch of links (which BTW raise far more questions than they answer). It would be much more helpful to have a Mormon who faithfully follows Peter’s admonition to “and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15), rather than sends questioners on a wild-goose chase through a bunch of links.
While CLAIMING something is untrue, without actually pointing out what you are thiunking about - is downright stupidity!
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....
52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.
55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to brejoice.
Their 'religion' is based on LIES about YOU, Kevin!
(Does that STILL rate them an ok in your book?)
You need to read the BOOK.
WE have made NO 'decisions' about YOUR fate.
John 3:18
Ah....
Our fatihful FR Noahide; MUCH more ‘holy’ than the REST of us stupid Jews, Gentiles and MORMONs.
I can do better than that!
Since SLC leadership(?) will EXCOMMINCATE a MORMON for actually following LDS 'scripture'; I'd say that they damn well CAN 'worship' any way they please!
The More Good Foundation publishes over 300 websites where persons of other faiths can learn about the Church and where individual Mormons can share their beliefs. We also provide training and support for Mormons interested in sharing their beliefs online.
300 websites where mormons spread their disdain for Christianity and continually demean the REAL Jesus Christ...versus a handful of Christians on FR who refuse to allow the lies of Joseph Smith to go unanswered.
I think the "anointing oil" of mormonism needs a filter change.
