Why in the blue blazes would the Mormon Church partner itself with a Muslim organization? I do NOT get it.

It's scriptural...

2 Corinthians 6:14-17

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?"

Alternative "partners" for the mormons to "cooperate" with in sending aid to Haiti.

OH! These are all Christian churches. Imagine that!

I guess they aren't "Christians on Steroids".

Presbyterian Churches Send Aid to Haiti

Methodist Churches Send Aid to Haiti

Baptist Churches Send Aid to Haiti

Evangelical Churches Send Aid to Haiti

Catholic Church Send Aid to Haiti

Salvation Army Mobilizing Aid to Haiti

Episcopalian Churches Send Aid to Haiti

Our LDS (Mormon)13th Article of Faith states: “We believe in being honest, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,and in doing good to all men ...”.

Obviously, the arrangement with the Red Cresent allowed us to expand our relief opportunities to alleviate the suffering of the People of Haiti. Simple as that.

For those of you who are interested in fault-finding with our church, may I recommend you to the anti-mormon book section at your favorite church/book store, where you will find a pleasing array of half-truths, inuendo, and outright distortions to indulge your wildest imaginations.

...it does not add, “unless God caused the weeping.”

I wonder what part VOODOO plays in all of this?

Sure ldsers have active relief efforts and they never tire telling people about it.
ldsers have been working with islamic fascists for along time according to the article in Mormon Times.

I love Mormons. Almost all my family is Mormon. I don’t trust the Mormonism Machine.

My post was removed due to LA Times copywrite.

I think I am allowed to post a link. Go there and read it.

Actually it says, “We believe in being honest, TRUE, chaste benevolent.......

You left out the “true.” Freudian slip?

The LDS church has an active and operational relief organization, something I’m guessing the islamists did not.

The Salvation Army has had a humanitarian presence in Haiti since 1950, and its operational disaster relief is probably second only to the Red Cross

If the islamists want to help, fine by me, but I’d be real quick to distance myself from them if they wanted to partner with me, and I’d be quick to distance myself with some organization that wanted to partner with them.

Any group that muslims welcome with open arms needs to take a good, long, hard look at what it’s all about.

But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

Well, well ....

What was it Christ said about the good Samaritan? (answer: go thou and do likewise)

Here’s an interesting question .... What’s the difference between an 2000 yr old Pharasee Hypocrite and a Current Era Protestant Hypocrite? (answer: The first gets his definition of God from the Talmud, the second gets his understanding of God from the Nicene, Apostolic and Athenasian Creeds)

Actually it make sense if you think of it this way, they have similar goals:

“I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us—‘Joseph Smith or the Sword!’ ”- Joesph Smith

I think in order to rightly call someone a hypocrite in this context, you would have to know that they had not given to the relief effort in Haiti.

Do you know everyone who has given freely to the effort? Just askin’.

No need, your own (LDS) source provide a great bounty of “ half-truths, inuendo, and outright distortions to indulge your wildest imaginations.” and that is just their “restored” scriptures and teachings!

I was shocked, after spending almost a year trying to prove the “anti’s” wrong and lying that the “anti” sources are often more accurate, better sourced, and given in better context than the LDS’ own works. I
