In days gone by, a lot of people hated Catholics - some still do. Hatred of Jews is well documented and exists today. Mormons have been the target of haters since the early 1800’s. I think it’s a spiritual battle. Since Jesus Christ told us to love one another, I am perplexed by so many so-called Christians who are practically up in arms over members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. P.S. Jesus Christ is my Savior and Advocate with the Father and the Holy Ghost is my Witness.

"...all the priests who adhere to the sectarian religions of the day with all their followers, without one exception, receive their portion with the devil and his angels." - Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. , The Elders Journal, v. 1, no. 4, p. 60
"With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world." - Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 199
"Christians—those poor, miserable priests brother Brigham was speaking about—some of them are the biggest whoremasters there are on the earth, and at the same time preaching righteousness to the children of men. The poor devils, they could not get up here and preach an oral discourse, to save themselves from hell; they are preaching their fathers' sermons —preaching sermons that were written a hundred years before they were born. ...You may get a Methodist priest to pour water on you, or sprinkle it on you, and baptize you face foremost, or lay you down the other way, and whatever mode you please, and you will be damned with your priest. - Apostle Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, v. 5, p. 89
"What! Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute beast." - Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 225
"After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon." - Apostle George Q. Cannon, Gospel Truth, p. 324
“... all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ.... in large part the worship of apostate Christendom is performed in ignorance, as much so as was the worship of the Athenians who bowed the Unknown Gods.” - Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 269, 374-375
"This is not just another Church. This is not just one of a family of Christian churches. This is the Church and kingdom of God, the only true Church upon the face of the earth..." - Prophet Ezra Taft Benson, Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 164-165
“Remember: when you see the bitter apostate, you do not see only an absence of light, you see also the presence of darkness. Do not spread disease germs.” - Apostle Boyd K. Packer, “The Mantle is Far, Far Greater Than the Intellect,” speech given August 1981 at BYU, Brigham Young University Studies, Summer 1981;
Yep, Christianity has felt the 'love' of mormonism throughout its existance.
Anyone who has a disagreement with a Mormon about absolutely anything./sarc
Mormon leaders and members alike have been playing the "persecution" card since Joseph Smith first invented the sect. It works well with folks who are ignorant of the real history and doctrines of mormonism and those who are taken in by the false faces presented to the world by its members who are NOT "the nicest people".
“Sandy you will go to hell with your eyes wide open if you wish.”
Good grief! What a perfectly horrible thing to say!
Thank God Almighty you are not my judge! Whew!
Why does every article and thread have to turn into a bash Mormons dog pile?
This article is hilarious! It is funny but some people just can’t help themselves from jumping on every opportunity to bash away. It is very sad to me.
‘Mormon leaders and members alike have been playing the “persecution” card since Joseph Smith first invented the sect.’
I think the following quote is a perfect example of that:
“Why does every article and thread have to turn into a bash Mormons dog pile?”
Notice how it says “bash Mormons” rather than “bash Mormonism”. A subtle but distinct difference.
This is what I wrote: Sandy you will go to hell with your eyes wide open if you wish. No one can condemn you there, a soul goes with their eyes wide opened.
In short, people go to hell because it is a chose they make. No one condemns them, they condemn themselves. God wants none to parish, NONE. He has given us a clear picture of how to spend eternity with Him, in His Glory.
Sandy, as someone who claims they were once involved in Christian churches, you should know this.
In my post I did not judge you, only God can judge your heart. You are free to chose His path or not.
Please show one post that bashes mormons.
Then why is mormonISM so anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic. psst - ever since its very foundation.
I have a problem with the EVERY article and thread....just imagine the total number of threads every day on FR...that's just a sign of the mormon belief that it is "special"...
What I'd like to see is a comment on the 52,000 mormon missionaries out there every day "bashing" Christianity with lies about being the "only true church".
Don't hold your breath.
