I've quietly lurked and watched how the Mormon faith has been attacked here and reflected on attacks to my own faith here years ago. The level of hatred reminds me of Hitler and the Jews and is hardly Christian.
“Well, one area Swedenborg would agree is the Mormon teaching of repentance for the remission of sin. Humility before the Lord is another. I believe these are essentials for eternal life, not particulars of doctrine.

Whatever your faith is, it is likely worthy of attack. Mormonism does not believe in repentance and the remission of sins, at least in the way Christianity does. It is a work based religion that focuses on outward appearance and ritual for the salvation of souls, while denying the character, divinity, and work of Christ. They themselves deny the doctrines of Christianity, maintaining it is the whore of Babylon, and that all authority and true baptism and hope is retained by the Mormons. Albeit, they believe that Hitler and non-Mormons simply go to lower heavens, whereas the good temple Mormon becomes a god, much like God the father allegedly was a perfect Mormon on some distance planet, who ascended into heaven. This is anathema; a great and terrible deception, and Mormonism itself is based on one deception after another. And not even sophisticated deceptions. The beliefs of Mormonism are so utterly absurd it is mysterious how they continue to live so long. They were to Christianity then what Scientology is to Christianity today.
To compare these simple truths to Jew-hate and Hitlerism is simply irrational, unless you yourself are a deceived Mormon who likens himself to a Jew in a concentration camp when he logs on to Free Republic! Your real controversy is with the words of the Bible, which directly condemn Mormonism and other cults who preach an alien gospel.
Gal 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: (7) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (9) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Seriously, comparing posters who expose momronISM to nazism is disgusting on your part.
mormonISM at its base is anti-Christian. I would suggest you actually learn about momornISM before you defend it.
lds require working for salvation, as the lds jesus is not sufficient - just a heads up.
