Gee, number one, I didn't see that in Nana's post...of course, I don't try to read her mind.
Number two, when I was mormon, Joseph Smith was the center of the mormon religion...and I doubt very much a visit to a testimony meeting today would illustrate that has changed.
Quoting from memory, "I KNOW that the church is twooo and I KNOW that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God....crosses were completely forbidden....end memory clip. During sacrament prayers and at the end of prayers, you would hear "in the name of Jesus Christ amen"...and that was about all you would hear about Christ. Most hymns were about Smith, the church, persecution, etc. etc.
it neglects the act in the Garden of Gethsemane (where he took upon himself our sins)
...and the mormon religion sees Gethsemane as the "Atonement" rather than the crucifixion where he DIED for our sins.
Maybe instead of the CTR ring, mormons could start making and wearing "garden" jewelry....gold-plated shovel anyone?
From Tennessee Nana’s post,
“The cross is a center of the Christian faith...
Without it there would be no Christianity...”
I didn’t make it up, I didn’t have to read her mind. My paraphrase was nearly identical to what she said. You called a lot of bloodhounds, but none have shown up. Why the animosity towards fellow Christians on Freerepublic?
