Sorry but no I didn’t ... I’ve had many discussions with my Mormon family about this and other ‘sacraments’ ... the patriarch of the family is a bishop in his ward. I’ve attended classes at his local stake when invited to attend. I know more about Mormon theology than most Mormons. My host said that for someone who is not a Mormon that I know more about Mormonism than the average Mormon. He has told missionary’s who come to the home not to get into a theological debate with me because they’d loose ... he has on occasion complimented me on my knowledge of LDS theology.

Yes

...Except that Ishmael was the son of Hagar and Abraham, while Isaac was the son on Abraham and Sarah.

This is where the mohammadans pervert the patriarchy, claiming that G_d’s covenant and blessing were upon Ishmael, while Isaac was only the recipient of G_d’s blessing - not the other way around.

They also claim that the Lord never directed Abraham to climb the mountain and sacrifice Isaac, as well as saying that Jesus was not crucified - because G_d would have never allowed men to kill a prophet.

All of which is equally as ridiculous as claiming that the fall in the garden of Eden was actually a “Wise Choice”...

A.A.C.

The Mormon church didn’t. Just another false statement equating individual members with the church as a whole.

- - - - - - - - -

Actually the leadership DID support the Nazis even staing how wonderful they were and sending GA’s to Hitler in hopes that the Mormons would not be seen as a threat to the Nazis and thus left alone.

Research it (not just LDS sources) before you assume it is a ‘false statement’.

I think what OO meant by ‘wrong turn’ was you accused our ELSIE of being pro LDS.

Not sure who he is or what he’s trying to accomplish. He doesn’t seem to know very much about what he’s talking about ...

You are misinformed. Google Mountain Meadow Massacre, 1857.

And yet mormon females had to wear a veil at one time...

Some Mennonite, Amish, and Hutterites wear head coverings. Traditional Catholics nuns wear veils, Catholic women had to wear a head covering in church services until 1964.

Women were expectd to wear hats in public until after WWII.

It is not the covering that is the issue, it is the political social intolerance of islam
