[QUOTE="TruthTroll, post: 71625179, member: 400955"] But where are your Christian miracles now? Oh, right. The age of miracles ended. Where is your God now? Last I checked, nobody in the Christian World has heard from him in about 2000 years. Maybe he is on a long journey? Maybe he is asleep? I guess your God gave you a book to keep yourselves company while he's away. How nice of him. Perhaps, you might hold up your constantly debunked faith healers for your God's miracles? Oh, wait. They are too busy preying/praying? on the gullible. Perhaps you will show me one of the many successful attempts of your Christian ministers who have held public displays of walking on water or calling down fire from heaven? Oh wait, they've all been publicly humiliated just like the priests of Baal and went home with wet feet. How are any of your so called Christian ministers driving around in their outrageous sports cars and living the good life in their $40 million dollar mansions any better than the priests of Baal as they preach for filthy lucre? Will you call them a false cult? What is your justification for calling Mormons a cult, when your precious Christianity was called the same for the first 250 years of its existence? How does it feel to have your sincere faith mocked, crossnote? Does it taste good? Do you burn with righteous anger and feel the need to strike back at me? How does that jive with turning the other cheek? The story of Elijah is not about mocking the priests of Baal so Elijah could have a good laugh. He knew the priests of Baal were preying on the people using parlor tricks and had no faith in their god themselves. Elijah was commanded by God to mock them. Have you been so commanded? There were plenty of other false religions around at the time, but Elijah didn't mock them, why not? Do you think God was giving Elijah a blanket pass to mock anybody at any time for believing differently? If so, do you have the right to assume the directive given to Elijah and arbitrarily apply that to anybody that believes different than you? Or are you the equal of the Almighty himself to sit in your heaven, laughing and holding in derision any you so chose? Why are the Mormons so much more deserving of your mockery than the modern priests of Baal in your own house? Last I checked, any stipends Mormon clergy got were pretty darn modest. Last time I check, Mormon clergy were just as devout in believing their B.S. as you are in yours. When you take a bible verse out of context as you have here and use it to justify your carnal thirst to insult and tear down another's honest (even if misguided) faith, you are not following Elijah or Christ. You are serving yourself and satisfying your own lusts and abusing those who should be your mission field-- causing them to harden their hearts against you and your "true gospel" message and you just might find the damnation and hellfire you are fond of pronouncing upon them is the stick by which you yourself are measured. Is this not the doctrine you profess? "[B]41[/B] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [B]42 [/B]Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
