And when did the Founding fathers sign onto the vaunted and silly peace of westphalia? Is the USA signatory to that treaty? No, thats because it has nothing to do with America. And no, i doubt that a religion dreamed up in America from around 1830 would have sought to join an arcane Euro monarchist-roman catholic treaty from 1648, that (irony alert) ended wars in Europe.

And maybe you should try to keep up. I have no problem with Catholic threads being posted in the main forum and not being restricted to being a Catholic echo chamber. But i see no reason not to do the same with mormons. What could be better than discussing them where everyone can chime in pro or con? I was mentioning that Catholic threads are in the main forum as a way to illustrate that not everything that is basically a dogma discussion gets kicked into the religious forum.

But im tickled that apparently, you think its ok to banish a discussion of mormons to the religious forum, and leave catholic ones in the main area,,,because of the treaty ending the 30 years war. Thats rich.

Shouldnt it be in the Religion Forum ???

NO!!!

This way we can get negative things said about MORMONism (truthful stuff, but WE consider it NEGATIVE) purged from the record in this thread.

How many wives did King Solomon and King David have?

How screwed up was their KINGDOM because of it?

IMO they get new members because they are unfailingly polite, clean and respectful.

They show the love of Jesus but do it for false reasons and lead people away from salvation. If they used the same tactics on display here they would chase away any possible new members.

“You might look it up and study it someday. It (peace of westphalia) replaced simple toleration with a different belief”

Fascinating. Please tell me about the widespread mainstream concept of simple religious “tolerance” in Europe, circa 1640.

Funny how we never see you attacking Islam.

Funny how we ALWAYS see you upholding MORMONism.

Beck dodges theology and addresses side issues like magic underwear, polygamy, temple practices.

But it's the theology that's central and that's where orthodoxy and Mormonism part ways.


Office of First President & Living Prophet

November 1st, 2011

The message for this month is -

...to stay on our mantra: We ARE Christians!!

We've been taking a beating on the Internet - especially from those hateful ANTIs on FreeRepublic!
 
We MUST keep the media constantly informed of those things the world considers christian.

We must NOT allow our MORMONness to show thru, as it has gotten a really bad rap thru history - lord only knows why...

“Funny how we ALWAYS see you upholding MORMONism.”

Find ONE single post where I “uphold MORMONism”, you might have to go into overtime to find one because it will be hard to find something that isn’t there.

In fact I’ve made several posts saying Mormonism isn’t Christianity on this very thread.

How about explaining from a Biblical view why Mormons aren’t Christians instead of focusing on their underwear?

As soon as YOU explain...

... why Mormons ARE Christians instead of IGNORING mormon theology.

Well as I’ve stated before Elsie (Mooooooo), Mormonism is not Christian.

So why would I claim they were?

You really fell into that one ~ the United States is clearly the successor state to much of Spanish North America, and as such acquired whatever limitations and advantages previously held by Spain, particularly where we recognized existing rights, or where we accepted Spanish limitations. There are some residuals that spill over from UK allies, e.g. the Swedish Empire ~ plus, UK, upon the European states signing onto the series of agreements, began to deal with them on the same basis ~ the clear advantage having shifted to the Protestants ~ and we are the successor state to much of the UK claims in North America ~ as well as those of France ~ a major player in the Westphalia series of treaties.

I doubt you can find a single Mormon or Orthodox or Moslem on Earth who would agree that his or her religious rights or obligations were or have been infringed or advanced by anything in Westphalia ~ yet, Catholics and Protestants, in general, will always point to this event that brought about the MODERN nation state as being of particular interest to Catholics and Protestants!

Westphalia drew, inadvertently, a big line between European Christians, and all others.

Yes this thread is about Beck and mormonism, which you attack non-stop in your efforts to keep Romney from being elected.

Poor DD; mistaken yet again...

...this thread is about Beck and mormonism, which you attack non-stop in your efforts to keep unsuspecting souls from slipping into the evil clutches of MORMONism; perhaps to be entrapped there forever!

We’re at war with Islam, we’re not at war with Mormons.

No, I know Mormonism isn’t Christian.

And yet you keep complaining that we are EXPOSING that fact.

WHY?

Exactly. The venom many christians show mormons and often jews, is evocative of islamic treatment of non-believers. Catholic discussion of protestants often sounds like moslems discussing apostates.

The things mormons belive simply amaze me. I cannot see how any thinking person can accept such stories. But they are polite, clean, and respectful. And it should be instructive to other religions to see the success that single trait has gained them.
