Yes, they were heretics.
Does that mean that those folks were wrong?
No, they were proven to be correct.
Therefore, it would seem that calling someone a heretic is kinda silly and an empty opinion based on little more than arrogant declarations of alleged truths.
Depends on the heresy. “The Round Earth” heresy did not lead millions to worship a god in a made-up religion, threatening their immortal soul.
And I will point out another source of doxens of inconsistencies — the Holy Bible. Does that make ALL christian sects out to be heretics?
No, one of them is correct or they are all wrong. Christ said He is THE way, THE truth, THE life. Not one of many. We have to try to figure out which is the correct one.
One way we do that is to see if, in context, things are consistent. I pointed out where Morman theology says that God is both unchanging but changes. This doesn’t make sense in any context. Another example is the Mormon doctrine that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are actually three separate gods. The Book of Mormon contradicts this view: " And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God? And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God. Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? And he answered, No. Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things? And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me. Alma 11:26-31
We look at things in context. There is no context that can solve for the opposite views that have to be held to believe what Mormon’s believe.
Think on it?
I have. I just ask you to do the same, instead of closing your mind to a different possibility.
Your opinion is quite obvious and accepts no further instruction despite your claim to seek such if it can meet your qualifiers. As I noted to you, God IS biased and has state so in no ambiguous terms. Have a nice week and stay safe.
Converts make up a huge portion of the rolls of the church, and all those young missionaries out spreading the Gospel certainly have a knowledge of their own doctrines because they run into folks like you every day, and need to be prepared.
Cheers
hahaha!
hahaha!
Are you kidding? It has become his defining signature, both in the MSM and on the street. If one is interested in politics in any sense of the word and doesn't know Mitt is a Mormon, then perhaps they shouldn't be voting for they are certainly not informed!
They never even announced the results of the poll at the convention, everyone knew what the outcome would be. The party waited and posted the outcome on their internet site.
Mormons if you’re not embarrassed by this poll, you should be.<<<<<
Why? Orin hatch would not and never did receive that kind of support. His is Mormon, but he’s not Mitt. Remember, Romney saved the state from an embarrassing loss at the olympics, and gave the state a great image afterwards, it wasn’t because he was Mormon that he gets so much support.
If you really think this way Color, why don’s you ask Bro. Reid to campaign in Utah? ;-)
Funny, that's what the mobs said when they killed Joseph and Hyrum.
How disappointing for them (and you) a hundred and 50 years later..
The illogic in Mormonism is astonishing to behold, especially when the adherents are so twisted by the convolutions that they cannot see the contradictions in the sources they so value, like this article by Peterson w/ Ricks! And the authors conclude that individual professions of 'being a Christian' should be taken at face value yet let the Lord judge the 'isms'. Of course, that is contrary advice to what Paul and Peter and James taught, as articulated in the New Testament writings, where we are admonished to resist the judaizing 'other voices bring' to the individuals, as if adherence to doctrinal additions to Jesus and Him Crucified are essential to salvation. It is so astonishingly demonic in deviousness don'tchaknow!
Orrin Hatch never made it far enough to be considered in a Utah Strw Poll of delegates.
Reid is a shill for the Dems. They will use him, tarnish him a throw him in the garbage. Mark my words! I pray for Harry Reid. He will be abandoned by his political party and by the judgements of the adherants of his religion. I have great empathy for him even though I disagree politically for everything he stands for.
He still is a person.....he will be made to suffer. I pray he turns to God in his suffering. God can and will use Harry Reid, just as he uses us all.
What else is new? I think it’s interesting how the anti-Mormon conservatives are in bed with the anti-Christian liberals. Very interesting.
No, there are two references to last day figures in Jewish lore. One is Messiah Ben Joseph and the other is Messiah Ben David. The latter is obviously Jesus Christ...
This should be some good reading for you, especially since it's from a non-LDS source... Read the links associated with it too..
nowandlater, I hope I'm not duplicating stuff you already sent
For the record, I'm protesting this garbage, Moderator. Sevenbak should not be insulted with such garbage.
This is really uncalled for!
Thank you MHGinTN!
free republic used to be free of god threads of such nature
don’t alienate the libertarians, we are part of this too.
where were you
re: 241
“I have. I just ask you to do the same, instead of closing your mind to a different possibility.”
>>>> That isn’t quite true. Please tell me what I have closed my mind to. I have made no declarations of support or denial concerning anything that has come under discussion here. I have asked questions about the so far unproven opinions concerning the “heresies” you claim against Mormons. If I had a closed mind I wouldn’;t bother asking questions, now would I?
You accusers really need to learn not to try putting words in other people’s mouths of thoughts and beliefs into their minds and hearts.
err, may i say, this is a relgion site ,muslim, hindu,
jesuit, todom ect. , what ever
