As I said their practices are blasphomous. My only point is there is no reason for a Christian to be upset about it if they do it to you or a family member who died in Christ.
Have a little faith that God’s got it under control.
I'm sorry, but to me this is a bit broader than what you keep trying to reduce it to -- which is either personal offense or personal offense on behalf of a deceased family member.
Take a visit sometime to where cult members have "flamed out" -- HeavensGate in CA; Jim Jones & almost 900 in Guyana; Koresh in Waco; others where people have died naturally...
Those are all wasted lives -- devoted to a personality cult.
Loyalty was transferred from God to the human personality; the true Gospel of the real Jesus Christ wasn't spread...
Marion Romney was in the 1960s one of the three highest-ranking Mormons...(a cousin of Mitt Romney's father, George).
At one point, Marion Romney said the Mormon church was "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" -- thereby usurping John 14:6...a statement applying to Jesus Christ -- and substituting the Mormon church.
That's what Baptism of the dead does. Joseph Smith once said that baptizing dead people was THE most important responsibility of the Mormon church. This is not just some sideline hobby of the Mormon church; they invest literally millions of man-hours in research, in temple rituals, travel, coallating data, etc. For what purpose? For something the apostle Paul said was "unprofitable."
The bottom line, DManA? We are supposed to love our neighbor. And when we see our neighbor wasting their lives away, it's more than simple "don't take personal offense." Loving our neighbor means putting ourselves in their place, and then asking, would I want this to happen to me...to my family members?
The answer with this practice is a definitive "no" for all the reasons I listed and more.
Friends don't let their friends drive their lives as if to dunk a proxy was the most important responsibility in this life.
That is Christianless religiosity.
These Christians that you are fighting have helped save Mormon souls on these threads, you fight the Christians and want them to stop.
Why you are dedicating your efforts and energy to Mormonism is puzzling.
