162 years ago there were lots of killings, scalp taking, and horrific mutilation by all sides during the Indian wars. After the battle of the Little Bighorn, squaws emasculated members of the 7th cavalry, along with removing heads hands & feet.
And that was ONLY 132 years ago.
Other examples are legion! As an old west buff, I see your example as common throughout the wild territories into the 1890s at wounded knee
Lutheranism, like all other Christian Churches is a creation of man...yes, including the RCC!
Christianity is a state of the heart!
I know a lot of members of Christian religions who are not Christian...like my ex-Mother-In-Law, a staunch Catholic from Mexico, who drove her daughter over the edge to where she started to abuse our son, resulting in her arrest and the eventual divorce. A really devout Roman Catholic, but not very Christian.
I hope that explains it. I hope you are a Christian and not just a devout member of a man-adaptation and interpretation of Christ's teachings.
Yep, pretty bad!
CAn one be a 'christian' while a devout MORMON?
My understanding and belief in Jesus Christ was not theirs. He did not have wives or children.Now, if you are done with your sanctimonious cross-examinations, why don't you ride your high horse off in search of another lesser Christian than you to feed your over-inflated ego!
I have had enough of you and your kind. I attend a church where Christians are not perfect...only forgiven. My kind sits in the back of the church with the Publican. You obviously sit in the front, to show everyone else how pure and good you are.
I, of course, do NOT see where you coming from with this.
I have had enough of you and your kind.
Just WHAT have I posted here that causes 'me and my kind' to be lumped into some unnamed category?
I (and my kind) are showing the FACTS of MORMONism - that FACT that it is a HERESY.
As A Luthern you SURELY knows what your chosen denominations TEACHS about MORMONism; don't you?
Sorry if I came across this way; but your early posts in this thread didn't contain enough information to see which Organization you were defending; and it appeared that you were YANFRM (Yet Another New Free Republic MORMON).
Since MANY of them tend to post with a sense of victimhood, more 'questions' were sent your way to determine exactly where you stand.
Perhaps today we can get along a bit better.
I'll try...
