Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ

but if Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses and Catholics and Seventh Day Adventist believe Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life, and put there trust in Christ then that is my *Focus* Mormons seem like good family people taking care of there children and I respect that....*The Osmond Family* do not seem like the Spawns of Satan to me...

"If" is the defining word in your statement. Mormons don't necessarily beleive in the salvational work of Christ, but believe (according to their third article of faith) that: We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

Mormons might "seem" to be good people...so what? Many sinners appear to be good. There is none good, but one. Anyone who believes otherwise is obviously in disagreement with the Bible or believes it is not translated correctly. What do you believe?

Why was your #96 addressed to my #89?

Oh believe in your fairy tales who cares those who are seekers of truth can discern for themselves!

Cheers!

This thread has just been bumped in the sidebar by an equally incredible story: the Seattle Seahawks are going to the playoffs with a 7-9 record.

Why??/Aren’t they all sinners saved by the Grace of Jesus Christ?

:) that is what I meant....

Out of curiosity which religion is not offensive to Christ?

I do not practice any religion. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus is God Incarnate, who lived on Earth in a mortal body, who was crucified to take the sins of the world, and made available to me specifically. I do gather with like-minded folk in a place we call church to join in worship of Him.

Mormonism teaches that the only path through the Pearly Gates is routed past Joe Smith's desk! It also teaches that by tithing and keeping your wife subjugated, that a man can become god of his own planet. It leaves women to clean up the mess and spew out lots of baby Mormons... and allows the husband to leave her behind if he doesn't want to take her to his new life. It teaches of secret temple ceremonies and special privileges that MUST BE PURCHASED (that tithe is written down every week and must be reconciled often) or you don't get through the door!

They also give special powers to underwear and don't take them off (according to them!).

Jesus said to TaraP, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by me.” (The LORD Jesus Christ, John 14:6)

[restornu]

It does not bother me....

If you work at it, maybe you can get a good sub-argument going on this thread between Calvinists and Catholics.

[TaraP]

I believe Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by him period...John 14:6

Jesus gave us a clear commandment as Christians to love God with our entire minds

What is the first and greatest commandment?

[The first and greatest commandment is You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.]

2. What is the second commandment?

[The second commandment is Love your neighbor as yourself.]

There was a thread a few months ago in the RF with over 10,000 posts that pretty much exhausted that argument. I know, because I wasted a lot of valuable hours there.

Thanks for the pink..interesting thread. I agree with the poster back aways that in time the Romney run will be in full swing by these folks. My stomach will curdle if that happens.

[Sherman Logan]

Pretty much my point, although I’m too canny to get sucked into that particular quagmire. :)

A number of particularly vicious wars were fought over the issue, so it doesn’t seem likely we’ll settle it here.

[Graybeard58]

however I have only heard the Moromns I know speak of Jesus Christ as the way the truth and the life, I know they had some controversy about baptizing Jews, and I know they were highly ridiculed by the support they gave the Prop 8 Fund in protecting Marraige..

If that is the extent of your knowledge of Mormonism, I implore you to educate yourself in the matter. You'll be stunned and shocked beyond belief, if you're a Christian. Believe me, we do not share the same Jesus with them.

[TaraP]

Well again....I don’t know what Mormom Doctrine teaches.....

I thought they were Christians....

[Ripliancum]

Not at all. Just having a hard time accepting some of their threads (like this one for example) that I find extremely offensive. I’m at the point that I’m not going to allow any protected LDS/Mormon Caucus threads on FR. You can’t post offensive stuff like this and expect Christians not to object to it. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to suspend or ban or deny any Christian from objecting to what he believes is the false prophecy of Joseph Smith. Whether Mormons will feel welcome here after this or not is completely up to them individually.

It sounds like you want FR to become a de facto Anti Mormon site.

If everyone is tired of all things Mormon on FR, why not just stop allowing all Mormon posts altogether, pro and con. If one would stop, I suspect the other would too.
I think you would have a hard time moderating the Glenn Beck threads to make sure they didn't digress, but if you feel that strongly, put an end to all of it.

Football.

I’m still in disbelief...lol.

Where I live, there are a ton of Mormons. I get knocks on the door every six months asking if my family and I would like to join the local mormon church. At one time I was thinking on becoming a mormon, that was until I did some research on it. Coming to Free Republic saved me and my family from making a big mistake.
