LDS Caucus - Yesterday my husband and I had a stipid squabble. Today we read this article outloud to each other and were completely healed of our stupidity. This article is so wonderful!! It was good to remember the reality the condescension and to realize how much our Savior gave up for us.

Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not a member of the caucus.

For instance, if it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not Catholic, do not post to the thread. However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread.
The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.

There is no tolerance for posters coming onto a caucus thread claiming that they were once baptized into that belief and therefore are still a member of it due to the belief saying they are - even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute that belief on “open” Religion Forum threads. The same holds for those who claim they are members because of their ancestry even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute it on “open” RF threads.

That behavior is finessing the guidelines, it is flame baiting. No dice.

Also, there is little to no tolerance for non-members of a caucus coming onto the caucus thread to challenge whether or not it should be a caucus. Gross disruption usually follows.

If you question whether the article is appropriate for a caucus designation, send me a Freepmail. I’ll get to it as soon as I can.

“The Reality of the Condescension The condescension of the Lord Jesus Christ generally refers to His leaving His high and holy station in heaven and coming to live as a man on earth to accomplish the Atonement and Resurrection. Jesus came to live where mankind lives and as mankind lives so He could raise mankind to live where the Father lives and as the Father lives. Because He descended to earth to lift us to heaven, each one of us can have the “perfect brightness of hope” (2 Nephi 31:20) of progressing into the kingdom and presence of God.”

Hubby and I shed tears while reading this beautiful article. Especially at this time of year it is good to remember all that Jesus has done for us - and what He continues to do for us. Our Savior is so awesome!!!

“The wonder of the Lord’s condescension is most meaningful when we contemplate how far He descended.”

There are two posters who were not invited and who are seeking to destroy the Spirit of a Caucus thread. I took you at your word that Caucus threads are closed to antagonism and crashing. Thank you.

Ok, the use of Condescension of Jesus in the title of this thread, shows exactly how the LDS REALLY view Christ.

Thanks for playing. How about using ‘incarnation’ instead?

I don’t mean this in anger or vitriol towards you, Saundra, but Mormonism is a cult. It is a lie, and if you die, you will die in your sins. If you don’t repent and turn towards the historic and true Jesus, there will be none to blame but yourself, because see, I have warned you. Read the book of John. That is as good as it gets for us humans to learn about our creator Jesus. All the other stories you’ve been taught are lies. Who is the father of all lies?

When you come to the Truth, help others get free.

Merry Christmas, Saundra.

WOW how sneaky!!!

Post #2 is copied from the Religion Moderator's home page all right....and applies to threads posted by members of faiths whose caucus privileges have not been removed for abuse of the caucus label. See post #5 in this thread.

Daring JR again, are you Saundra?

The "no antagonism" guideline applies to "ecumenical" threads NOT "caucus" threads.

For an article to qualify for "ecumenical" discussion it must not be antagonistic, e.g. mention beliefs which would antagonize other Freepers.

LDS Caucus privileges are forfeit.
