The Anti-Mormon Moment: LDS critics capitalize on Romney's GOP nom [Shine light on dark UT corner]

“It isn’t coincidental that the church has got this ‘I Am a Mormon’ campaign going and that they are urging members to get on the Internet and spread their testimony,”

I'm a MORMON ...

So this is what we’ve descended to?...

This WHAT?

Exposing HERESY, lies and deception?

[Elsie]

I don’t agree with some of their beliefs and I think some of their beliefs are wonderful.

I agree with you 100%.

However: MORMONism is NOT 'christian'. It is a HERESY - a false teaching; and it MUST be exposed as such.

Romans 15:4
 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

 

 

Romans 16:17
   I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

 

 

1 Corinthians 4:17
   For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

 

 

1 Corinthians 11:2
 2.  I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,  just as I passed them on to you.

 

 

Ephesians 4:14-15
 14.  Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
 15.  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

 

 

2 Thessalonians 2:15
   So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings  we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

 

 

2 Thessalonians 3:6
  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching  you received from us.

 

 

1 Timothy 1:3-4
 3.  As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer
 4.  nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith.

 

 

1 Timothy 1:7
  They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

 

 

1 Timothy 2:7
   And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

 

 

1 Timothy 4:1-2
 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

 

 

1 Timothy 4:6
   If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

 

 

1 Timothy 4:11
  Command and teach these things.

 

 

1 Timothy 6:3-5
 3.  If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
 4.  he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 
 5.  and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

 

 

2 Timothy 1:13
  What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

 

 

 2 Timothy 2:15-17
 15.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
 16.  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
 17.  Their teaching will spread like gangrene.

 

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17
 16.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
 17.  so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

 

 2 Timothy 4:3-4
  3.  For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
  4.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

 

 

Titus 1:11
   They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.

 

 

Titus 2:1
  You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.

 

 

Titus 2:15
  These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

 

 

 Hebrews 13:9
 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.

 

 

 2 Peter 2:1-3
 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

 

 

2 John 1:10
  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.

I'm a Catholic, as are most of my neighbors.

I would suggest that you and your neighbors ask your priest to have a training session about MORMONism.

Find out what the RCC knows and teaches about it.

[Elsie]

Sad to see your endless attacks against Americans and the church they choose to attend condoned here.

Still trying to float this boat I see.

[Elsie]

When was the last time a group of Mormons hijacked airplanes and flew them into buildings?

MORMONism HIGHJACKED Christianity (well, is TRYING to) and will send a soul FLYING into HELL!

[Elsie]

Threads like yours are why so many good Freepers have left and gone other places.

Would those be MORMON, perhaps?

A LOT of them have managed to DISAPPEAR from veiw.

[Elsie]

LOL! You’re absolutely hysterical.

Funny and ACCURATE!

What a combo!

[Elsie]

...when he is the only one left standing.

Oh?

I have MISSED the 'fact' that he has the nomination of the Republican Party.

[Mad Dawgg]

"I have MISSED the 'fact' that he has the nomination of the Republican Party."

Yeah its been all over ALL of the Networks. Which is nice cuz now we don't need to waste time with Primaries and Conventions and such we just have to tune into MSNBC or FOX and find out who they picked to be the nominees. [/sarc]

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

 9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
     Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

If it bothers you just don't have the religion forum included in what you routinely see. Read the help information and you can configure FR so that you'll never see any of the stuff posted to the religion forum and won't even know it exists if that's what you want. If you find some people are insisting on putting their religion assertions and arguments in other than the religion forum just contact the FR admin and they'll see that posts are moved to the religion forum if their focus is primarily religion rather than news and current events.

No one need stop coming to FR just because there is a forum that allows religious arguments they don't like seeing. If they say that's why they left then their focus was on finding a religious site the thought was properly moderated, not in finding a solid Conservative news and activism site. Regards

One of the reasons Mitts has been chosen is to distract us from the thug Obama

[jersey117]

He’s not running on religion. He’s running on the economy. I guess sharia law is preferable to some, ‘cause it’s coming.

[Elsie]

I guess sharia law is preferable to some, ‘cause it’s coming.

Is that law based on religion??

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 132

 

51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

 

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.

 

[svcw]

This is the religion forum if you don’t like the discussion stay away.
This discussion is about mormonISM not individual mormons.
mormonISM will be laid bare, exposed for what it is - SLC is at the same time excited about Romney fulling prophecy and terrified people will find out what mormonISM actually is.

You’re right.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

"When was the last time a group of Mormons hijacked airplanes and flew them into buildings?"

Straw man argument. I don't believe any of the 911 hijackers are running for office this go around.

Much better question you should be asking:

When was the last time a Mormon seized a government office and used it to further the killing of tens of thousands of innocent babies - subsidized by the taxpayers - and then undermined the sacred institution of marriage by willfully appointing liberal, gay-favoring, judges, and followed that up by personally approving hundreds of gay marriages, and then followed it up by attacking the liberty of citizens using coercive government mandates?

Gee, I can only think of one time and one Mormon who did this... and I'm guessing you want to pull the lever to put him in office?
