RE:”Just another case of Mormonism ‘lying for the Lord....”

All faiths have their charlatans. Seems as though I recall a one Jim Bakker who found his new wife in a dipsy dumpster soon after his release from Fed. Pen. Guess she was looking for all those prayer requests from dying people that had been opened only to remove the $.

And Jimmy Swaggart, simply cruising for hookers. Guess he wanted to “re-hab” them?

List goes on and on. Stealing for Jesus cuts all faiths. One of the worst forms of “lying for the Lord.”

"Minor" difference here. While many faiths have Charlatans who act in their name such Bakker, Hinn Tilton and such, Mormonism was created as a scam BY a charlatan.

It is a faith created from whole cloth that steals from true Christianity, distorts its message, claims to be the "true and improved" version of same while if recreates something almost unrecognizable all for the love of money.

I am glad you are having fun, you must be bored to waste what little time you obviously spend on FR playing games and dealing with something you seem to have little real interest in.

There is a huge difference, Chieftains call those people out.........not so with JS and his defenders.

But Mormons have it as part of their Scriptures (Book of Moses where GOD commands Abraham to lie) and a vast and common practice (I was even taught it in mission prep class).

Bob Millet is a great proponent of it. Lie, lie, lie just to make ‘the church’ look good.

Christians condemn (or should) Baker and Swaggart and many other televangelists as well so your pathetic attempt at equating the two won’t fly.
