Florida University Student Suspended After Refusing to Stomp on Jesus

Davie has enough of a Catholic population between the Brazilian and Haitian population, not to mention the stray Cuban that commutes to the school. Religion taken very seriously for most immigrants. The school needs to rethink this...

[autumnraine]

HA! That might have set this goon professor straight! Instead of Jesus, write mahammed and see hus reaction.

College degrees are worthless in many disciplines, if you could call them that.

If you have a degree in the sciences, it has a bit more bearing. If you take Physical Chemistry, you can either solve the problems and understand the concepts, or you can’t .

Of course, that is dependent on how the institution concludes you understand...many might just take your word for it, because they don’t want to lose the tuition revenues...

He could have simply changed the name to Muhammed or Barack Obama and then stomped on it, since it was an exercise in religious desecration (liberals would hold Barack equivalent to a messiah)

of course then he might be targeted by a fatwa, not university suspension

ah decisions decisions

[silverleaf]

you read my mind

[Elsie]

Just another Latter Day Saint (Mormon) showing that his commitment to Christ our Saviour is the central theme in his life and in his heart.

And I praise the young man for his stand!

My prayer is that his commitment will allow him to continue his education about Christianity and MORMONism and he'll make an even better decision in the future.

Speaking of STOMPING...

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

You fail to realize that college is a tool to make unemployment rates look better for 4 years...

Devoted Mormon or jealous killer? The 2 sides of Jodi Arias

[Salvation]

Ping!

[4integrity]

Thanks for the ping!! Happy Palm Sunday!

[fishtank]

I’m sorry.

I commend the LDS student for not stomping, but that doesn’t mean the lds-ord teaches the truth about the true Jesus, because they don’t.

Just for the record.

[Elsie]

Devoted MORMON or jealous killer?

What DIFFERENCE does it make??

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“Just another Latter Day Saint (Mormon) showing that his commitment to Christ our Saviour is the central theme in his life and in his heart.”

Devotion and commitment are good qualities, BUT faith is only as good as the object it is placed in... and in the mormonic case, a created spirit Christ cannot save.

The great news is that the REAL CHRIST is available to this student and to you teppe. Why not come to Him, teppe.

[Morgana]

I honestly think that girl is a couple fries short of a happy meal!!

[Political Junkie Too]

e sad thing is that you could have taken a class on Greek tragic opera or Roman history...

Today's students don't have the reading skills for that. Too many old words with lots of letters.

[Morgana]

Will you all please stay on topic!! This is thread is NOT about Mormons it is about Jesus and some liberal university trying to stamp his image out of young people’s minds.

Thank you very much Teppe for pointing out the young man was Mormon. I did not know this when I posted the article.

I do have this question to ask. How many of those other students in the class were “so called Christians”, went to church when they were growing up with Ma and Pa and yet did this horrible act?? Elsie, ejonesie22, and Fishtank it may have been people in YOUR religion, you don’t know!! All we do know is others did the stomping.
