We don't get many Mormon missionaries where I live and even if one of those 55,000 were to wander off the Mormon reservation and head in my direction, I'd kindly tell them I'm not interested in what they're selling. I'm all for religious freedom and that means I respect their right to believe what they want as much as I respect your right to proselytize at them. That being said, I'm not entirely sure that posting against Mormons on FreeRepublic is the most effective method in which to do this but hey, it's your time and your keystrokes.

Now, I don't see FreeRepublic as a Mormon recruiting site so I can only deduce that your post is in relation to Mitt Romney's candidacy. Given the choice between a Mormon President, and a Muslim, black liberation fake Christian, I'm gonna go with the Mormon. I think the Apostle Paul will be okay with my decision.

As for my comment about concentrating your efforts against Islam, I say this in the context of FreeRepublic. Islam is the threat to this free Republic, not Mormonism.

Well Islam poses a threat re: both death and spiritual death...but usually posters like yourself simply ignore the spiritual death component and simply weigh ONLY the physical death issue...as if that's all there was to life...material naturalism...

Only a fool thinks the "brush fire" here on earth is the three-alarm, city-wide meltdown that hell represents.

Therefore, yes I take our cultural cue from a certain "Lord" named Jesus Christ.

Here's Jesus:

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)

So does Jesus say, "fear the terrorists?" (No)
Does Jesus say "Muslims?" (No)
Instead, does He say to exercise fear of the One who has authority to cast somebody into hell? (Yes)
So, indeed, our "fear" is on behalf of those who are placing their eternal spiritual lives at risk.

I think the Apostle Paul will be okay with my decision.

Here was Paul's reference I mentioned:

"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)

Paul's cultural priority? (Defend against the false disciples who will proselytize the flock and draw away men unto themselves!)

Tell me something, liberalh8ter: If you did something tearfully night and day for three years, do you think it's rather important? So what? We're just to conclude, "Oh, the man who contributed a good chunk to the New Testament -- what does he know about cultural priorities?"

Are you serious? Paul preached against FALSE teachings.
Good grief where he preached there were riots, because of him calling these people out.
Personally, I think you are delusional if you think Paul, would say it was ok to vote for a mormon.
He would be standing at their temples preaching against them.
As a side note, if you want to discuss islam start a thread about it.

Islam is the threat to this free Republic, not Mormonism.

When you widen your lens and learn more about MORMONism; perhaps your 'not' will turn into 'just like'.
