Do you think the responders would attempt to make it all out to be somebody who is trying to cast a bad light on mainstream Christianity?

Yes.


Is that any different from what Colofornia does?

Yes.

What YOU are posting points at a PERSON who is not following the Bible (IYHO).

Joseph Smith, who cast a bad light on ALL of Christianity, did NOT name names or even give examples; but merely boasted, "I have learned that PRESBYTERIANism is UNTRUE."

How do you think they would react if I started a thread every time I found an article about some mainstream preacher molesting a child or abusing his power in some other way.

That's simple!

Just like THIS thread, we say a few things, probably AGREEING with you about the un-Christian things the person was doing or had done, and then use it as a springboard to alert the LURKERS to your agenda and then go on to illustrate even MORE of the heresy of MORMONism.

There is a lot less numbness in my right leg, but there are still rocks glued to the bottom of my foot, but they’re a lot smaller and smoother.

?

REALLY; or is this how it FEELS to your foot and leg?

Most LDS do not seem to get the idea that Mainstream Christianity is VERY different from Mormonism, not just theologically but in how we view other people who claim to be Christians. Apples and Oranges.

Most Americans do not seem to get the idea that Mainstream Mormonism is (not so) VERY different from FUNDAMENTAL Mormonism. But not just theologically but in how they veiw other people who claim to be MORMONs.

Apples and Oranges Onions and scallions.

... (like the Universal apostasy and the Book of Mormon as being divine)...

BoM??

Ha!

They can't even admit the BoA is as phony as anything ever 'translated' from PAPYRUS!

THAT little puppy HAS 'the original' to look at!

Can you image the twisting that FAIRLDS would do if REFORMED EGYPTIAN were to be found!

At least the FLDS are living JS’s ACTUAL teachings. The bunch in SLC can no longer claim to be a “restored” church, they have reformed too much.

Since the operation, the numbness in the leg is less and the pain I have in my feet isn’t like walking jagged rock any more. It feels like I’m walking with my socks doubled over on the bottom of my feet.

I say:
Interesting, that is like saying the Roman Catholic Church are living Christ’s ACTUAL teachings. The Protestants can not claim to be the “true” church, they have reformed too much.

Did you notice how some of the people reacted after I started this thread. How do you think they would react if I started a thread every time I found an article about some mainstream preacher molesting a child or abusing his power in some other way. Remember, I live in the South and I see this articles all the time. Do you think the responders would attempt to make it all out to be somebody who is trying to cast a bad light on mainstream Christianity? Is that any different from what Colofornia does?

Significant difference being that most posts RE mormonism have to do with an aspect of their DOCTRINE. Taking pot shots at outliers of Christianity is not the same thing. Seeking isolate BEHAVIOR is separate from DOCTRINALLY driven behaviors and attitudes. For example, recent threads regarding the lds governor candidate for Idaho - it was regarding a doctrinal/teaching point of mormonism - not on the moral failing of the candidate. That at least should be clear.

That’s a GOOD sign!

May it get better and better with time; and a SHORT amount of time, too!

Feet pain can REALLY slow a fella down.

Thanks Elsie.

You are welcome.

Even though we differ on theology; our human-ness binds us very closely together.

Not even close. The LDS claims to be a “RESTORED” church, Protestants admit we are “reformed” and see the “true” church, not in ANY denomination, but in the Church Universal (all believers in Christ of the Bible make up the “church”).

Sorry, not even a good try on your part. It just shows how the LDS misunderstand what the Church of Jesus Christ REALLY is.
