I believe every one is wrong, including myself for partaking of this nonsense, protestants bashing the Catholic and Mormon Religion, Mormons and Catholics bashing the protestant religion and i bash all of the religions in general because i think they love religion and not Christ.
Jesus said do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
But of course we all have to get the last word don,t we, well as far as i am concerned some one else can have the last word but if we are not careful there is going to be a lot of room in heaven.
I can plainly see my short comings so i am getting off of this bashing contest. and no i am not mad just realizing how stupid this is.
Let's remember this. Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians have a common view as regards to the bible, that Jesus being the Son of God, that God has always been God..etc.
Mormons do not have the same belief. They believe in a celestial marriages, They believe God was once man, Mary had sex with " " , Satan is brother with Jesus, Jesus was in a polygamist marriage, etc....
You said "how stupid this is....." I guess this would be if you don't believe in Jesus and don't believe in God.
If you believed in Jesus, you would not be getting us to accept a false prophet and false gospel. The bible warns us of this .. Galatians 1: 6-9
No Other Gospel
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Well, allow me to be even "plainer": You are "getting off this bashing contest" -- yet less than 10 words later, you ensure that a bash from you -- "realizing how stupid this is" is emitted as your "parting shot."
If you were to re-emerge for one more post on this thread, wanna 'xplain why you claimed you were "getting off" from "bashing" only to quickly turn to bashing once again...belittling others as being "stupid?"
Can't you start being consistent in your worldviews? (Or do they have to conflict even within the same sentence as you type away @ your keyboard?)
And Paul said over and over to rebuke and avoid FALSE TEACHINGS and those who teach them!
I hope you REALLY are not recommending that we FAIL to do the latter!
