But don’t they call themselves Christians?
Wow, you are ignorant.

The myopic are so selective what the scripture says, instead of the facts.
Even the frist cammandment says
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 7you shall have no other gods before* me. (* or besides me)
http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=deuteronomy+5:6-5:21&version=nrsvae
There is a different when one becomes Joint heirs for they will reside in Heaven with God, where the god of the hell will never dwell!
Some minds are so short sighted!
Moslems and Buddhist could call themselves Christians too, and some Buddhists will tell you they are as good, but that doesn’t pass the test God sites for being in Christ.
Or, looked at another way, they are trying to return us to 1858 and the position of Stephen A. Douglas:
"I then said, I have often repeated, and now again assert, that in my opinion our government can endure forever, divided into free and slave States as our fathers made it,-- each State having the right to prohibit, abolish, or sustain slavery, just as it pleases.
This government was made upon the great basis of the sovereignty of the States, the right of each State to regulate its own domestic institutions to suit itself; and that right was conferred with the understanding and expectation that, inasmuch as each locality had separate interests, each locality must have different and distinct local and domestic institutions, corresponding to its wants and interests.
Our fathers knew when they made the government that the laws and institutions which were we ll adapted to the Green Mountains of Vermont were unsuited to the rice plantations of South Carolina. They knew then, as well as we know now, that the laws and institutions which would be well adapted to the beautiful prairies of Illinois would not be suited to the mining regions of California.
They knew that in a republic as broad as this, having such a variety of soil, climate, and interest, there must necessarily be a corresponding variety of local laws,-- the policy and institutions of each State adapted to its condition and wants.
For this reason this Union was established on the right of each State to do as it pleased on the question; and the various states were not allowed to complain of, much less interfere with, the policy of their neighbors."
Someone has no clue what the Scriptures say.
Yep. He's right smack dab in the middle of the mainstream of liberalism.
The point I am making here is that it was common in those days for a woman to marry as a teenager and to marry an older man. Those who donot care about the truth will use such statements to make people “feel” an untrue feeling,so they will not think about the rest.
I asked about your baptism and previously about your church. I haven’t heard any answer to either. That’s the problem with Freepers here that identifies as “Christians”, they are afraid to identify themselves to any church often since they know that opens up questions in itself.
BTW.. The Jews were in obvious apostasy.. or why would they key Jesus. That tells you about their authority at that point in time. John the baptist was ordained directly, surely you don’t doubt the authority and authenticity of John The baptist. His authority came from God since the Jews were dwinding in unbelief long before his time.
2COR 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
The Devil
It’s what the Scriptures say that’s all important.
Speaking in general, if someone denigrates someone’s faith (Church), I think they should say what their faith (Church) is, I think if the attack is specific, the owning up should be specific.
If we followed both policies, I think we would have less over-the-top, venomous posts.
Widowed men with young children were known to marry a younger woman too. That’s not the issue. The issue is your false prophet marrying already married women. If you want to believe Smith didn’t bed these females, then you can ignore the reaction of his contemporary Mormons whom Smith excommunicated when these Mormons didn’t shut up and let his ‘indescretions’ slide under the truth radar. How do you think this issue will be exposed in the media if Oven Mitt gets the republican nomination and Hatellary’s goons take over the campaign? Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Well, if I ever “denigrate” Romney’s “faith (church),” come talk to me. Until then, your continued casting of aspersions is pretty despicable.
You folks are really overplaying the “if you don’t support Romney you’re a bigot” card. It’s really making some good people quite perturbed.

You did not answer the question, just sidestepped it by making &%&^*%^#$^* remarks about those who ask you to find the back up material to what you say.
Is there anyone out there out there who wants to dig into the real background, or is my opinion of most Freepers too high?
Your lack of knowledge makes you overly exposed. I am a ‘list’ member of the Episcopal Church. I tithe at Cathedral Church in the LA area. But none of that is anything compared to being washed in the Blood of The Lamb of God. THAT is the door to The true Chruch of Jesus Christ. Your authority to baptise in Mormonism is as specious as your claims to restoring Christianity ‘in these latter days’. Your founder was a lying adulterer and a fasle prophet who rewrote the Bible to fabricate prophesies of himself coming ‘in these latter days’. You actually believe such an one was given authority from God to restore that which was never lost? Bwahahahaha
Your words about “bedding” females shows disrepect to women as equals. And as a Mormon, I’m pointing that out to you. That shows perhaps the nature of your viewpoint and where it’s coming from.
Good Mormons don’t “bed” females, they treat them as equal partners in salvation. Joseph Smith was a good Mormon and then some. I wish you would do the same.
I’ll post Smith’s list of wives and their ages when he ‘married’ them and whether they were still married to other men. That what you want, dufus?
Weak, very weak, but you tried, I’ll give you that. Just imagine how stupid your posted reply will appear when the DNC goon squad exposes the facts of Smith’s list of ‘wives’ and to whom some were still married and their ages when he ‘married’ them and moved on to the next town.
The one true God says He is One God, not 3 in 1. You can’t explain your trinity nor can anybody else and you say I’m ignorant.
I find many anti-Romney post rational, objective, and informative. Only some seem irrational and venomous.
Who did Stephen see at the “Right Hand” of the father?
