Sorry. NOT a FREEPER record. Good try though.
You see, you took four sentences to refute yourself. [Your fragments above were three sentences apart]
We've seen self-refutations accomplished within one sentence in past posts!
Oh, and in case you (or somebody else) doesn't comprehend how you refuted yourself, allow me to explain.
You asked the question, "Who are you to judge another's religion?" This would imply that this same standard you are holding over Greyfoxx's head also applies to...well...you!
Yet you had just cast this pall over Greyfoxx's "religion" by adding the suspect adjective, "so-called." IOW, you indeed judged her religion as "suspect."
Therefore, when you can't even practice three sentences later your very sermon outline just preached from your post pulpit, that renders an obvious "flunk." (It's what we Flying Inmans call an "epic fail.")
Either your very personal standard ought to be jettisoned; or perhaps you should start a MindBender Monastery or something and go off and figure out how you can begin to practice the Mindbender personal religion...at least practice it with enough consistency so you can keyboard an actual post without contradicting yourself.
Otherwise, you leave the impression that you reek of religious hypocrisy. (Or that your other side has granted you an exemption from practicing the Mindbender Personal Religion...which makes your personal religion...well...a bit impersonal).
And while you may not be able to deal with the root of the hypocrisy minus Jesus Christ, perhaps if you practice your personal religion off in a silo somewhere for a while, you might be able to at least address how it appears to others.
Well. Maybe not.
But I'll bet you could eventually get thru an entire post without simultaneously refuting your own points! And that would be a great start!
OK, for some reason I missed your second reinforcement of self-contradiction!
You Mindbender, closed with You are nothing better than modern day Pharisees!!!
And, unlike the other one -- which was three sentences apart -- you managed to do this one in back-to-back sentences.
Lo. Still not a FREEPER religion section record.
But a silver medal-winner! Congrats!
Now, I can't recall if the record is two or three examples of a self-refutation in the same post.
(I'll need to look that one up!)
But you're in the runnin' Mindbender! You may have just tied that record!
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Please understand, this is not a wise ass question, but a real one.
If Jesus created the angels, then who announced his upcomming birth to the “shepards tending their flocks by night?” or the Three Kings/Wise Men?
Also, trust me. I am NOT LDS!!! Far from it. Any religion that would insist on my wearing expensive and uncomfortable underwear, and says I cannot have coffee is NOT for me.
I’m much more PCA Presbyterian, the Conservative branch of the Presbyterian Church,,,, sorta like a Bapttaterian or Assemblyaterian.
I’m not pro-Mormon. But I am VERY anti-Obama, and therefore (hold my nose) pro-anyone who can defeat him, even though Romney was my LAST choice to do so.
The ememy of my enemy is my friend.
Like in RVN. We used the Cambodian KKK all the time. Lying, theiving, stealing weasels, kill you in moment... but they hated the PAVN worse than they hated us.
Be well
Jesus is a Person with two natures, human and God. As God, He created the angels before the world began.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:1-5
God created the angels and Jesus is God, but He is the second person of the Trinity. He is not a separate entity, but a separate ousios. He is not God the Father or God the Holy Spirit, yet they are all God. God exists outside time. He always was and always will be. He became man in Jesus, while remaining wholey God.
Thanks
Such a change from an aggressive poster telling others what to do, into a whiney beggar pleading for ME to stop!
You post junk on FR and I am going to reply to it.
Deal with it however makes you FEEL good.
Just as he is about to be licked to death by the tongues of a hundred little kitties!
Dang...
I'm not supposed to make this PERSONAL!
From your question; I get the impression that you think that JESUS was not in existance BEFORE His birth: How could HE create something BEFORE he was on earth.
You need to talk to your spiritual leader and get the answer to this non-wise ass question.

Jesus existed in eternity past BEFORE He was born.
He “became flesh” at a point in time, but “before Abraham was, I AM”, as Jesus Himself described Himself in John (ch. 8 I think).
Thou shalt not.
Thou shalt not what?
Spread the truth about the LDS?
It’s about to spread a lot further.
“Thou shalt not” ain’t gonna stop it...
