I will gladly go first. If anyone reading this thread and my comments is feeling attacked, please know my intent was to admonish. See the definition of admonish for clarification.

I would never want to judge another soul. I leave that to Christ. I can certainly tell you why I believe what I believe, and I won’t belittle you in the process.

If you like this attitude, check out the Catholic Church. It condemns the sin, not the sinner. Kind of like Christ.

Too late - you already have.

WHO are these bad folks?

In your humble opinion.

Yet you have. Your “admonition” came across as judgmental, probably in much the same way you saw our “correction” to be condemnation.

And in case I missed an earlier response to the question:

Do you believe the LDS are Christians? Based upon their theology, not outward appearances.

I will admit it is difficult not to belittle or make fun of LDS beliefs and teachings.

Some, like becoming a God, or God had sex with THE VIGRIN Mary to conceive Jesus, Jesus’ blood cannot cover all sins like murder and breaking temple oaths), Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers ( are just so blasphemous that it gets our blood boiling.

Others, especially the ones taught by their early prophets are just laughable, such as there are men on the moon who dress like Quakers and that vegetables have a pre-existance (also know as the “veggie spirit doctrine”, or the motions associated with oaths in the LDS temples.
