Meant to ping you two to this video series ...
Yet allowing good people to be deceived by a completely fabricated cult, that uses its alleged “Christinaity” as a hook and lure, and drive the unwary stright into the arms of Satan himself is just fine and dandy by the standard of the Modern Oprah Christians.
To do otherwise is “mean and hateful”
May I suggest they read the Bible, perhaps for the first time. Pay attention to what it says in Jude about “snatching from the fire”. Sometime it takes a bit more than a loving hand to save the very blind...
We are also allowed to confront Christ's enemies, which as professional LDS apologist and enablers running the cult and not true and earnest practitioners of a Faith, people who are no where even remotely here to promote truth just maintain the scam, some here definitely qualify as...
In fact I think I will see if we can get a time out.
Certainly the Mormons will recall their 52000 salesmen for a brief respite.
Maybe the Muslims will play along and stay at home for a bit.
Hey, perhaps even old Beelzebub will shut hell down for a few months so we can all move on to other things for a while...
Yes sir a break in the eternal spiritual battle is in order, I am sure all will be on board with the idea...
LOL, I’m just sure that the trade off would be worth it to the Mormons.... ejonesie for 52,000 mishies.
(new tagline)
Welcome to FR Noob.
Apparently you haven’t been “lurking” long enough or you’re either a mormon or a defender of mormons.
There are a few of us who have been and continue to be helped by the postings detailing the fallacies and heresies of mormonISM. They helped me leave mormonISM and I continue to post on their behalf and on behalf of others who may be contemplating leaving mormonISM.
These posts help me as an ex-mo because my wife and son are still members and when we discuss theology, I can point out simple things like this to expose the illogical and false premises that built the mormon church.
Like I said, IF you were “lurking for quite a while”, this would not be news to you and you might have rethought your post, it was and you didn’t.
Personally, I don’t give two bits what you care, you’re parroting the same crap many of the mormon apologist’s and their defenders do, so your position is known.
I post mine to rebut your inane and useless comment that is obviously borne out of falsehood.
Btw, delacoert, good post.
Love the new tagline! Goes right along with my tagline, too.
Good tagline!
Why did Jesus ascend into heaven after His resurrection? Would not His presence on Earth prove once for all that Christianity is truth?
Then come back and engage in some grown up coversation.
It never gets old for this crowd. It’s funny, if you can remain objective.
Well n00b, take the time and posit an ANSWER to the questions posed in the lead. Your failure to address any telegraphs a tendency to ignore even the simplest questions or have a faith too weak to be able to face them head on.
Thanks for the continued laughs.
Are you volunteering as the mind reader who provides this discernment on FR Religion forums?
So the threads posted a few times a week are sincere attempts to point out the danger to the souls of those who follow Mormonism? It is simple evangelism?
Anonymously? On an internet forum? Seriously?
From my deeply held agnostic standpoint, there seems to be a bit more to it than evangelism. There is a ‘preaching to the choir and enjoying the acccolades from doing so’ that pervades these threads as well. As well as a bit of baiting the Mormons to respond as well. And given that the threads read like boilerplate text with the same people making the same comments time and time again, I am unswayed by the evangelism angle.
But that’s just me.
Since you have no dog in the discussion your point wanes. In a thread as this, the questions put forth in the article are designed to challenge the mormon to think. It provides an innoculant to others by causing them to think about mormonism outside of the box the missionaries may seek to place them within.
Now for yourself - a deeply held agnostic - this thread isn't directed to you and your agnosticism. So it isn't surprising to see your take on this - other than to question the methods. FWIW, there are a number here who've seen the replies numerous times and have left mormonism as a result.
But then that is just me.
Paul wrote ICor2:14 for folks just like you.
Ok, let’s review.
1. The observation of an outsider with “no dog in the fight” is less relevant than the fiercely held biases of the opinionated.
2. Keeping people from learning about mormonism from mormons is preferable. Precisely how you would like others to learn about your faith, or professional skills, or political views, etc., I presume.
3. Protecting agnostics from the danger of mormonism is less important than protecting anyone else from the same.
4. You are taking credit for people making highly personal decisions about their faith. On the internet.
How about answering the question about jesus being taken from the earth? If god really wanted everyone to be christian he would have left jesus all resurrected and immortal on the earth forever and ever. [Naturally, I don’t really want an answer from you. This question is purely in satisfaction of my urge to ask something that I think is clever.]
