Hi, Dave - It does no good to argue with the anti Mormons/anti MormonISM folk on this site. Their tactics are designed to dog-pile pick pick pick and employ silly boyish arguments that have no basis in truth or even logic. But they are legion here on this site. Actually there are only a few but they have nothing better to do in life, apparently, than hang around FR day and night spreading their venomous ignorant ill-conceived thoughts. They seem more powerful than they really are - it’s just that they are persistant to the point of being obsessive compulsive.
I was banned from this site for about a year because I am a Mormon and/or because I supported Mitt. And I was one of the original FReepers - since 1998, having freeped along side Jim Robinson himself many many times. I have been in his car, in his house, and considered him a dear friend. But this obsession with hating Mormons and hating Romney have been his undoing. This site has gone to the dogs.
Cheer up, Elsie, maybe you can get me banned again for saying what is in my heart.

I was raised in the Southern Baptist Church and I was raised to fear and loathe Mormons. It was all a pack of lies. And Satan is the father of all lies.
_________________________________________________
Its still a pack of lies...
The Baptists told you the truth...
you were fortunate that someone cared enough to warn you...
too bad you didnt listen...
Rebellion will do that to you...
Are you making God into your image or are you conforming to his image? The Bible is very clear on who God is and what he requires from his people.
Galatians 1:6-9
Mormonism is full of anti-Christianity...
and I didnt need the Internet to know that...
One cannot have two masters. You either believe in Jesus Christ, or you believe in Joseph Smith. As long as you keep trying to put your phariseeical leaven into our bread we will meet you head on.
The fact that you avoid the question is proof you have both shame and a lack of knowledge about the JST. you probably suspsect that what you have been taught by "THE CHURCH" does not match what Smith "retranslated" in his bible.
Young taught Adam was God....So guess what that makes Cain...Is that Cain is Satan. Is that what you were looking for Saundra ? I'll give you the standard opportunity to deny these things before I post referenced quotes from FLDS/LDS published books for all to see.
The foundation of mormonism is cracked beyond repair at it's very foundation....The second FLDS/LDS "Prophet" claimed the first had commited a fraud on the members, with the JST bible.....which replaced the KJV which the "gods" in the first vision claimed was the reason for their coming !
A wise man builds his house upon the rock of Jesus Christ, not the sand of 115 different sects of mormonism.
The Rev. Billy Graham has even been condemned on this site

Praise God for opening your eyes to see the truth of the gospel and rescuing you.
It says God, not Jesus. I’m planning a post on the main site that will contain Scripture in it and I know I’ll get flack for it because of the behavior of some childish bozos that will remain nameless. I worship Jesus Christ myself but realize not everyone does. The RF has become a playpen to keep the non-sense off the rest of the site.
Sandy see post 453 where it was explained that you stated you wanted out...you were NOT banned for being a mormon.
Now that the truth is out about this, will you retract your claim?
Well, that seals the deal.
it says pro-GOD - as we understand Him
_____________________________________
actually it doesnt Davy...
Youre confusing FR with your AA meetings where you say “a higher power as we understand him” meaning whatever my personal idea about a god might be...
There is only One God repesented in FR thats the God of the Christian Bible...
Jews and Christians both Catholics and Protestants are included in that belief in God...
Have a source of JR saying that or should we ping him?
...and... no Jew I ever knew accepted the Holy Bible... they don’t worship with it... nothing.
When I bring up FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith's retranslation of the bible which her sect doesn't use, after seeing you and I conversing, she jumps right on you and tells you to ignore us. She is trying to keep you from the truth by accusing folks like me of "hate" and "bigotry".
INGORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN, NOTHING BUT UNHELPFUL HISTORY BACK THERE.
I don't think Facebook numbers count in the area of what is a Biblical Christian church....however, there are 45,000 likes for the FSM church.
This is the type of double-brained thinking we get from Mormons like Saundra.
She's indecisive even within a phrase of 13 words! What are we, Sandy? Legion? Or just a few?
Other examples:
* Saundra AWOLed from her Christian past and bounced to Mormonism...more indecisiveness...
* She has indicated she'd like to "get along" with Christians, but her religion tells us that Mormonism is the "only true & living church on the face of the earth" (D&C 1:30)...hence, she comes across as ambivalent about that, too...Apparently, she'd like to take her "scriptures" (like that one) at face value, but then if she did, she'd have to concede that she thinks the rest of the churches are false & dead. And that's not a "value" that contributes to genuine ecumenicalism, now is it?
* It seems like she wants to "get along" with Christians, but her religion tells us that Mormonism deems all Christians as "apostates." Hence, she seems ambivalent about that, too...She'd like to take her leaders' assessments (like that one) at face value, but then, if she did, she knows she'd be no better than the Muslims who accuse Christians of being all "infidels."
* It seems like she wants to "get along" with Christians, but her religion (First Vision, Joseph Smith History, Pearl of Great Price, vv. 18-20) tells us that Smith deemed 100% of Christians from Christian sects as "corrupt"...She'd like to take Smith at his "first vision" word, but then, if she did, she knows that places Mormons in the accusation business of labeling all Christian sect representatives as "corrupt" -- and that all of us embrace creeds that Smith deemed 100% an "abomination."
* Saundra thinks a LOT of Billy Graham, especially now that his Web site removed Mormonism as a cult...But if she's always thought so highly of Billy, then she also must have respected what he had FOR YEARS on his site: That Mormonism was a cult! (Billy only removed it for political expedience in October; and now that Mitt has flamed out, we might get it back on his site again!)
So, Saundra, I'd guess that you respected Billy Graham well before October 2012...So that must have included his long-standing opinions of Mormonism. Right? Or are you ambivalent on that, too?
Facebook Page - almost 35,000 likes

and yet God took about 35,000 and cut them way down to 300...
thats the kind of likes God uses...
Practice what you preach, buddy.
Well, who created sinful man?
Did God create a sinful man named Adam?
Well, obviously He created Adam...but did He create him as sinful? (Obviously not)
Likewise, who created Lucifer ... the luminous one?
God did. Jesus did. The Holy Spirit did.
But did He create him as "Satan"? Obviously, "Satan" is a "degeneration" of the original creative act of God.
How do we know Jesus created Lucifer?
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
In several other verses, like Ephesians 6, thrones, dominions, and principalities and powers reference fallen angelic beings...And Paul says that Jesus created "all" of them!
Are you more authoritative Saundra than the apostle Paul?
