Evangelical group takes aim at other faiths

They (the LDS) don't have to “organize” to protest other faiths, it is in their doctrine already and is a natural part of their day in and day out operations.

Anyway the point is as a whole LDS do not organized to protest another faith!

•The Church’s missionary program is one of its most recognized characteristics. Mormon missionaries can be seen on the streets of hundreds of major cities in the world as well as in thousands of smaller communities.

•More than 50,000 missionaries are serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at any one time. Most are young people under the age of 25, serving in nearly 350 missions throughout the world.

Not ORGANIZED??

[ejonesie22]

You know I remember reading that (Mosiah 16:13) when I was going through the BOM.

Given Brigham Young's admonition that one needed something to the effect of Joe Smith's certification to get into heaven and the emphasis so many even here on FR put on the book of James and works, that verse seem oddly out of place.

***

there are the same opportunities for all faiths to have a natural part of their daily operatrions!

****

The LDS does not spent time organizing to bashing another faith in the public square.

there is a differents between proselyting the word of Jesus Christ vs an organized hate machine!

[ejonesie22]

60,000 trained “expert” sales professionals in the field. The organizing is already complete, it is now and has been in operation.

[MEGoody]

But Martin Ringle, spokesman for the local Jehovah's Witnesses churches, said shunning is not part of the faith.

Oh, bullshaloney.

[bdeaner]

The Church of Latter-Day Saints is not the Lord's Church.

True, the Lord's church can be found HERE.

[MEGoody]

Then why: The group's next meeting is June 20 in a Colorado Springs park that Darlington won't reveal because of security concerns.

Perhaps they have received threats.

I would hope there was organization....

D&C 132: 8
8 Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.

D&C 88
119 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

1 Cor. 14: 33
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Proselyte is of the Lord!

An organized hate machine Protestors, is NOT of the Lord

James 3: 16
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

[restornu]

You still have not pointed out your reason for that statement!

[svcw]

AGAIN: I asked why are these people afraid and you replied because God gave us free will.

[restornu]

Sorry I have no clue what you are talking about why don’t you ask them!

[restornu]

AGAIN: I asked why are these people afraid and you replied because God gave us free will.

Sense you ask why do you think they are afraid like to hear what your what your mind is working on?

[svcw]

Huh? You got me now because I have know idea what you are trying to say here.

It’s your question for some reason you are asking it?

It was in one of your post implying that I could be a liar or delusional!

[svcw]

I said MAYBE.

Sense you ask why do you think they are afraid like to hear what your what your mind is working on? It is the previous sentence that you wrote I have know idea what you are talking about. It is like trying to read gobbly gook.

[restornu]

par for the course why even bother with this kind of source!

[Colofornian]

Proselyte is of the Lord!

Sorry, Resty, that's just not always the case. How can you state this in such an absolute way -- a way that disagrees with something Jesus is on record to have said?

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are." (Matthew 23:15)

Jesus is saying to proselyte someone into becoming a fellow legalist isn't exactly a "good" thing. So how can you claim otherwise? Will you admit you mistated on your comment?

I am sure in your mind you feel justified in what you are saying.

But in the end it is only your opinion and nothing more!

[Colofornian]

Well how do you think I felt as a mainstream Christian when I learn by the power of the Holy Ghost that did fullfill EPHESIANS 4 as I seek through the years?

Resty, you cite Eph. 4:11...
but where are your titled pastors?
where are your titled evangelists?
Furthermore, how do you think you feel as a mainstream Mormon when you learn by the power of the Holy Ghost that...
...to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Eph. 3:21)

Did you know, Resty, that the apostle Paul gave this prophesy? "glory in the church...throughout ALL generations, for ever and ever?" Was he guilty of a false prophesy, then, if the Mormons are right?

Why do you seemingly disregard Eph. 3 if Eph. 4 is so relevant to you?

And you also cited Eph. 4:7: But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Why do Lds, including yourself, ignore this verse in favor of Book of Mormon verses like Helaman 12:24?

And may God grant, in his great fulness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their works.

So which verse do you favor, Resty? Eph. 4:7 where grace is given according to the gift of Christ -- or where grace is given according to the works of man? (Your Book of Mormon leaves you in a direct contradictory conflict)
