You seem to want to maximize some of the similarities mormons share with Christians when it comes to political matters, but then minimize the differences when it comes to theology.
Politics and the future of our republic will always take second place in importance when it comes to spiritual matters. That is because eternal lives are at stake. People can certainly spend time and energy advancing political causes, but many recognize the greater importance of rebuking false teaching.
Therefore, you shouldn’t be suprised that posters disagree with your theology on a RELIGION forum. Your calls for unity are weak and seem like an attempt to deflect arguements against Mormonism.
The differences I quote have biblical founding and footing. The unity I call for is sincere.
Jesus Christ is my personal Savior. I accept His atonement and grace in my life and teach the same to my family, irrespective of the other differences. I am glad He will be my judge on these matters for He knows my heart.
I try and follow His commandments as He taught, "if ye love me, keep my commandments." an, despite my frailties and weaknesses, try and live as He would live.
There is nothing weak about any of that...you just do not agree with it. And that is fine. The fundamnetal moral values are precisely what I embrace and teach my kids and grandkids, and have done so my whole life long, and are what make us free.
I have found Catholics, Evangelicals, Baptists, Methodists, Lutheramns, and many others who recognize the perils we face and have stood should to shoulder, me with them, and they with me, on numerous occassions, several generated right here oin FR over the years, to unite together, pray together, and face the trials and evils of our day on any number of issues.
When coming together, supping together, praying toggether in the name of Christ for His blessings and help...you know, not a one of us in those instances denied or tried to tear down the fundmental faith in Christ we all shared...and they knew who I was, that I was LDS while we worked together. And we accomplished a lot of good as a result.
I simply ask for people who are willing to do the same. That's all. Your choice...as it should be.
