Fixed it for you.... :-)
lol touche’
One of the many different understandings is correct that is for sure.
mormonISM is not worth considering. If you are a Christian research who they are and what they teach, it is not Christianity.
Great. Please go verse by verse and tell me the "correct" interpretation.
Thanks for the response and advise. I was just politely suggesting that your treatment of others could be more Christian. The Bible suggests it is best to love our enemies, and not judge them.
Reading some of the posts here, I would worry about any Mormons that live nearby some of the posters. Would they harm or harass Mormons? If they claim to be practicing Christians, how do they reconcile that?
I hope you don’t find this a flame, merely an observation. I’m sure you are a God fearing good person.
Wow just wow.
You are incorrect I am permitted to judge everything against the Word of God I am not permitted to judge ones heart, that alone is God’s.
I have lds family and friends, I am amused that you infer that I might harm/harass them.
You are sure I am a God fearing person, I am sure you are a mormonISM supporter.
mormonISM is not Christian. On these pages we hash that out, it has zero to do with everyday life off these pages.
feel free - I’m linking from another site... ampu
Great graphic.
“The Bible suggests it is best to love our enemies, and not judge them.”
You have effectively taken one passage in Scripture and substituted it for the whole counsel of Scripture in regards to heresy.
By doing this, you have perverted the whole counsel of God.
Never a good idea.
You cannot answer ? 2 with a NO without blowing the whole answer to 1 Philippians 2:5-10
That is tough for the Mormon to answer coherently.
So are these:
"I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity" (Moroni 8:18).
"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and in him there is no variableness, neither shadow of changing? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles" (Mormon 9:9-10).
"Here, then, is eternal life--to know the only wise and true God. And you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves--to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done--by going from a small degree to another, from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you are able to sit in glory as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power." - King Follett Discourse
Moroni and Mormon describe God as immutable and unchanging. The KFD shows something else. How can you believe that God is at the same time immutable and changing, that from all eternity he was as he now is, but he somehow evolved from a mere mortal?
If God evolved, Moroni and Mormon are wrong. If God didn’t evolve, the KFD and Joseph Smith is wrong. Which is it?
So PD, could take a stab at these as well?
Elder Neal Maxwell, an apostle of the Lord, is a man who has my deepest respect. A very wise man who taught and testified of Christ and followed Him until his death, and like you say, someone who put his life on the line on Okinawa.

This is too funny, i’m laughing as I’m typing this...ROTFLOL!
Very good observation.
Over the years I have had some interesting responses from Mormons on that one. My personal favorite is that there are multiple eternities, ie, when you become a god, Your personal eternity starts. So what happened before was part of a different eternity.
I have Mormon friends and they are all good people. We just can't talk theology.
I live in Utah and have many LDS friends. Like you, I simply choose not to engage in theological conversations with them, unless of course they ask me what I believe.
While I hope that they come to a Saving knowledge of Jesus Christ; they’re good people who put a good deal of emphasis on the importance of family. This is indeed a good thing. This may be one of the reasons this is the most conservative state in the US.
