If this is not breaking news of the century, I don’t know what is. Someone needs to rewrite the bible to include Apostle Joe.

Jim moved it, and changed the title.

I didn’t say you did. He’s just making his views known. That is what doesn’t help you.

Sorry for the confusion.

Joseph Smith already rewrote the Bible - and guess what? It includes him by name. :D

Well, I’m sick to death of the Mormon-bashing threads too, and I’m not Mormon. Lately it seems this place is flooded with them.

[Notwithstanding]

It might be because the Mormon religion relies on deceptive missionary tactics, and because Mormon doctrines require a willing suspension of disbelief that honest men cannot maintain without swiftly turning into dishonest men.

Translation: Mormonism is a transparent sham and its painful to see what seem like good men participate in such a transparent sham.

[Jim Robinson]

I’ll put it this way. I don’t believe a single word written by Joseph Smith or his followers when it departs from the Word of God as recorded in the Holy Bible and I’m not thrilled about people coming here to preach some false gospel from the pages of Free Republic.

I am not a Mormon, but I do know that Mormons and Orthodox Jews have the least of divorces out of all religious denominations and have the least problems with Children and are very family oriented faiths, that help there own when ever they need it......

[RaceBannon]

I’m curious, what would you name that religion?

After Fat Tuesday, We’ll tell?

Apostate Mormon Ping!

Well, I just thought that Joseph Smith’s being named An Apostle of Jesus Christ would be breaking news to most Christians. Maybe I’m wrong?

It's news to me!

I thought Joseph Smith was a two timing, skirt chasing, con man with fancy pants.

Just a friendly reminder, you might want to scan through the posts before you fire off a reply.

Yes, a valid question. Please reply!

Belief in Jesus Christ's dealings with Joseph Smith and the other leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a matter of faith.

As with all christians, our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him crucified and resurrected, and His atonement for our sins, which is a free gift if we will accept it...is the key and principle issue which over-rides all others.

I would agree on this most critical tennant and join together shoulder to shoulder with all my other Christian friends of all denominations to jointly fight the pressing evils of the day that threaten our Republic and way of life.

...and avoid contention amongst ourselves which serves to weaken us in the fight for our society, and not push on the other issues where we differ in interpretation or other principles which are in the end, of less consequence than our joint, sincere belief in Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem and Savior of all mankind, the only path and gate through which any of us may return to our Father in Heaven.
