New revelation: Mormons can drink Coke or Pepsi

try thinking about the point made to you before firing off a predetermined response.

So says the guy who just sent the same spam 3-4 times. Thanks, Mr. 85%, for giving us a good working example of hypocrisy. Were you thinking when you cut and paste your post your comment from yesterday's thread?

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.”

It's a miracle! There really is a living prophet on the earth today!

Sarcasm aside, I wonder if this will make it into the next printing of Doctrine and Covenants.

They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.

Exactly. Jesus never once mentioned either coke or pepsi.

Cute, but no cigar.
You make a claim, yet fail to back it up, so typical.
You apparently are claiming to also support Romney’s positions 85%........

Are you saying then that you support these?
abortion
homosexual agenda
man made global warming
government mandates
government health care
gun grabs
as he says “higher taxes on the 1%”
bail outs
liberal judges

Support Romney, do so with open eyes, Romney is a liberal, he always has been and always will be.

MNJohnnie - This is a religion discussion thread. That being said, would you have us NOT talk about anything Mormon related until after the election? Is it all about the election to you?

Thanks

Obama and the last Democrat Congress Federal Deficit 2010. $1.6 trillion

So cling you your spirit of spite and malice if you will but at least have the decency to not try to dress your emotion based position in a fake illusion of rationality

"Rather then knee jerk respond in under 60 seconds..."

I don't see where I responded to you in under 60 seconds.

Each post shows the post that was being responded to. I think maybe you're "knee jerk" interpreting a response one of your earlier posts as a response to one of your latter posts.

An unfortunately you post all of your replies to post 1, which makes it really hard to tell what you are talking about.

[roylene]

So is that your job?
judgmentalism and mind reading
Just trying to figure out where you are coming from.
This is the Religion Forum, so we are talking about religion.

"How much did Bush's medicare prescription plan account for of Obama's deficit"

Sorry, I don't like Obama, but it's not like Republicans are blameless for this mess. And Romney's in there, cheering them all on.

My dad used to hide cases of coke in the garage under the old sacks and rags so the Mormon missionaries wouldn’t find them.

They came to our house regularly, both for the food and because I wasn’t becoming the Jolly little mind slave they expected me to be. Must have been the caffeine...

[brightright]

I don’t know who you are referring to by Our positions . Please clarify which you agree with. Abortion, gay marriage,same sex adoptions, cap & trade, RomneyCare, free cars repairs,and AAA cards for welfare, trying to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions. Do you believe as Romney says, his sons are serving this country by campaigning for him. Most military find that offensive. What 75% of his positions do you agree with?

[CatherineofAragon]

LOL, okay then. Your answer to my previous post is “no.”

[Letmarch75]

Most all, even unbelievers know “Judge not lest ye be judged” as spoken by our Lord in Matthew 7:1; but not many know the other teaching of the Lord.

The Saviour taught: “Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (John 7:24)

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:1-7 giving us intructing judging: “Do you not know the saints shall judge the world, and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in these smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more that pertain to this life?”

I only drink Mexican Coke. It is made with pure cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.

Quantum for me please!

[CommerceComet]

at least have the decency to not try to dress your emotion based position in a fake illusion of rationality

So do you want me to follow your example of emotion-based responses without any rationality?

What's that got to do with anything that's being discussed here?

[MNJohnnie]

It may not be your intent to help reelect O, it is the result of your actions.

You can 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.

So I can't point out the error of Mormonism because of an election?

I think you need to reexamine your priorities.

And while you're trying to throw a guilt trip my way. Think about this. You are going to vote for the father of Gay Marriage. A man who did more for gay marriage as governor of Mass., than Obama did as president. You are going to vote for the father or Obamacare. Romney practically wrote it. Yet you want me to worry about re-electing Obama?

Sorry get me a GOP candidate that is different than Obama, and I'll vote for him. Otherwise I'm voting for REAL change. I'm voting for Virgil Goode.

Wait the bigotry and hysteria is lifting, I think I see what MNJohnnie is trying to say....

Obama is bad. Obama is evil incarnate, Lucifer on earth. He spent all that deficite money by himself. If we reelect Obama, free elections will cease, we'll all become muslim communists dependent on the state, and the oceans will rise. We'll all end up living in tents in Death Valley under Shariah law while the Marxists redistribute the clothes off our back to themselves.

But if we elect Saint Romney, well he's whatever we want him to be. His Romneycare is so much better than Obamacare. Romney will turn back evil, everyone will love each other, the GOP will rule righteously forever. Romney and his wife will take time out from making Presidential decisions to call us. Romney agrees with our positions because he has the GOP label. And with the GOP label, you know it's got to be good!!!

Is that it MNJohnnie? Excuse me my fingers have to barf now.
