New revelation: Mormons can drink Coke or Pepsi
National Post ^ | Sep 4, 2012 | Religion News Service

SALT LAKE CITY — Maybe now, reporters, bloggers, outsiders and even many Mormons will accept that the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not forbid drinking cola.

On Aug. 29, the LDS church posted a statement on its website saying that “the church does not prohibit the use of caffeine” and that the faith’s health-code reference to “hot drinks” “does not go beyond (tea and coffee).”

A day later, the website wording was slightly softened, saying only that “the church revelation spelling out health practices … does not mention the use of caffeine.”

The same goes for the church’s two-volume handbook, which LDS leaders use to guide their congregations. It says plainly that “the only official interpretation of ‘hot drinks’ … in the Word of Wisdom is the statement made by early church leaders that the term ‘hot drinks’ means tea and coffee.”

So it appears that you are saying here, if I expose the blasphemy of Mormonism, Obama will be elected.

Well, that is quite a quandary.

1. I stop exposing the lie of Mormonism, then being an instrument in people’s souls being turned away from God Almighty and towrds that very lie but Romney may be elected.

2. I can continue to expose Mormonism and people may flee the lie of Mormonism or help stopping them from entering, and Obama may be reelected.

Let’s see eternity or a potential election victory?

I think Jesus would cast his vote for Romney over the zer0.

Why?
Don’t you think Jesus (if He was political, and He wasn’t) would pick a candidate that didn’t support abortion or homosexual agenda.

Don’t blame me for Obama. Romney and his staff started the lies and rumors about Sara Palin so that he could run now. Romney helped elect Obama. I can understand people that feel the need to hold their nose and vote for Romney. But what has ruined this Country are people like you who either close their eyes and plug their ears or are liberals.

You can continue to try to justify your actively working for evil here to God one day. You will no longer be able to claim you did not know what your were doing.

Jesus hasn't told me how he would vote, and I'm not going to presume on his behalf. I'm voting for third party.

Yep. The cult of personality is getting stronger as some folks try their hardest to mythologize Romney.

Those platforms might make a difference in the congressional races. But at the President level, we can see Romney’s actual record, and it matches the Democrat platform better than it matches the GOP platform.

Wait the bigotry and hysteria is lifting

Wow! Just like the scales falling off of Paul's eyes.

So it is just that simple - Obama evil, evil, evil and Romney good, good, good?

I guess I'm going to see if I get a burning in the bosom about that. ;-)

The article mentions Romney a single time, and only in passing. YOU are the one who is trying to connect it to Romney. Better be careful or you might end up hearing Chrissy Matthew’s racist dog whistles too.

Okay, but stay away from the spicy food, wouldn’t want to make a decision on the basis of heartburn.

MNJohnnie, forgot to include you on post 96

So, and that means what?

The Democrats have supported abortion at tax payers expense forever, that has nothing to do with the exposure of Mormonism.

And Romney supported free to $50 abortions in MA and supports abortion today, who knows if he means at taxpayers expense or not.

You all just keep propagandizing for evil. You can answer to God one day for this.

You're the one who is going to vote for a candidate who enabled gay marriage. You're the one that is voting for evil because you think he's the lesser of the two evils.

I'm voting for a candidate that reflects my values. And it's not Romney or Obama.

And that means what to the exposing of mormonism?
The dems back abortion - yea and so does Romney.
Neither of which has anything to with telling the lie of mormonism to the world.

RomneyCare provides free taxpayer subsidies for abortion. Romney stated I will NEVER infringe on a woman’s right to choose. Is he a man of his word?

And just when I thought you'd seen the light, you forgot that if Obama supports something like gay marriage, it's evil, evil, evil but if Romney supports something like gay marriage (like he did in Massachusetts), it's good, good, good.

Not back in the 1970s. I knew some who would not touch a caffenated drink.

One mormon woman did as her excuse was she needed it for migranes.

I noticed a few years ago, that mormon convenience stores handled both caffenated drinks and beer, for the unbelievers.

Now I think of it, the local SDA store also handles caffenated sodas, something they did not do 20 years ago!
