BTW, I'm not Mormon.ByGrace said:Actually, it is not even in your book of mormon, the most correct book on earth.
True.Kind of like no mention of eternal marriage, endowment ceremonies, sealings, baptism for the dead, becoming gods (actually, even the book of mormon refutes that idea in no uncertain terms and even teaches the trinity) and on and on and on
This offends me (too Kumbaya-ish) but please keep it if you want. I wouldn't want to become a whiney PC type whose slightest offense causes demands that others to cower to their sesitivities. That possibility gives me uncontrollable heartburn (aka a burning bosom out of control).Malaka said:Hi there!

Do you really have to lower all that is about God to simple human standards? The wedding of the Church to the Christ is not a wedding. I promise, we wont all pack into your little sealing room with Jesus. This is a word used that best describes what will happen when we, the true Church of Jesus Christ are forever joined to Him to live out eternity with the One that saved us. We are not actually a wife. Come on, are you that in need of human validation?wenglund said:calgal:
Wade: So, then, why was there to be a wedding for the Son, if he, as "God who was and is and is to come," had no need of a "consort?" What is so ludicrous about that?
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
P.S. I look forward to your response tomorrow. I am off to bed.
Yeah, sorry if it seemed I was calling you one. I kind of mis-typed there in my efforts.Wrigley said:BTW, I'm not Mormon.
True.
Hi ByGrace.ByGrace said:Lets not make this another main street plaza where anything that might offend the mormon gets removed.

That's what I thought, but just wanted to let you know. No harm done.ByGrace said:Yeah, sorry if it seemed I was calling you one. I kind of mis-typed there in my efforts.
I kind of like the above pictures and hope they stay. Lets not make this another main street plaza where anything that might offend the mormon gets removed. This is, after all, a Christian Forum. Now leave me alone before I chop something with the sword of Laban.
Power in the priesthood.
Absolutely. The display that was taking place by supposed Christian preachers down there was beyond disgusting. My Pastor was one of the ones that went down there to apologize to the lds people for those few that make such a mockery of the love of Jesus.skylark1 said:Hi ByGrace.
I am not happy that my rights to freedom of speech on Main Street have been sold. I do not take my freedoms for granted. However, on the Main Street Plaza there was a line that was crossed in which free speech became hate speech. Yelling through a bullhorn at LDS brides, and calling them harlots is hateful. I think that pretending to wipe one's nose and behind with LDS garments is hateful. It seems to be an action to meant only to mock and inflame. If someone did this with a prayer shawl in Jerusalem outside of the wailing wail, there would be an outcry of the hatred and bigotry expressed. I hold the people who chose to behave in this manner equally responsible for my freedom of speech being taken away on Main Street.
I dont see a reason to rub it in the lds face that we dont see the garment as sacred but there is nothing wrong with using the garment as a dish towel or whatever. Even the mormons say that once the marks are cut out of the garment it is nothing more then a rag. No reason for them to be used as a weapon though, as those street preachers did at the lds conference. Heck, I wish I still had my white slippers. They were way comfortable. I would use them all day long at home. Maybe I will stop in at beehive clothing and get me a pair.drstevej said:I agree, but they do make good oil rags according to Calgal.
Now before you whine, Calgal did not use the garments as an oil rag as a public gesture. She just found a private, utilitarian use for garments which she found otherwise useless.
I might have but I dont know what you are talking about.Revelation911 said:hey - who left the dimensional door open ?
Joe was often accused of being violent, it seems:ByGrace said:Wait up there cowboy. You count yourself a Christian? Are not all of our creeds and abomination before the mormon lord? Are not all of our professors corrupt?
Please, were you part of the mormon temple klan before the 1990 changes?? Do you remember that they mocked a Protestant Minister in the ceremony and referred to him as a hirling of satan?
Please, dont patronize us with your lines. I know as well as anyone else how the mormons feel about Christians. Your "prophet" joe was a rabid hater of True Christianity.
It has been plainly stated on this forum in the last few days by Mormons that you are Trinitarian. Now, we have other Mormons claiming otherwise. Would you people please huddle up and figure out what play you are going to call so we can know what our defense should be.Malaka said:While mormonism does not identify the doctrine of the trinity, do they identify that there is a "heavenly mother"? If so, what is her position in their relationship to God and to Jesus Christ?

If the gospel needed to be restored because of a complete apostasy in the church, then how come Paul says this:wenglund said:Those of us in Christ's restored gospel, however, would consider such demeaning caricatures to be profanation.
To each their own.
I made the mistake of asking for the opinions Sunday of a church member that grew up in SLC. For 15 minutes, I got to hear all kinds of interesting stories about Mormons and the things they did to him while he lived there.calgal said:How does a happy snapping turtle offend you?
