Mormons: We are Christians, too

I don't hate you Pahorin, I simply perceive your religion as wrong and a threat to freedom as proven by the track record of the church.

Faith in Christ is a very powerful thing. It can change our lives forever in a positive way and help make us better people. Kinder towards one another, respectful of each other, and hopefully more loving. This is the message of Jesus Christ. What you choose to do with it is up to you. Negative thoughts equal negative actions and words.

Too bad you don't have the correct story...as usual its the Anti-Mormon version. The original manuscript was destroyed in a fire in Chicago years ago. The manuscript Joseph translated from was reported to be much longer than the one given back to the Church later. So until you can prove that is not the true story you can't say with certainty your version is correct. Believe me...I have been to a conference where all the facts were laid out and how the critics don't want to accept what the truth is...they like to make things up.

I agree. It is hilarious to look at all the junk that man came up with. Then even more funny to see how hard the LDS church has worked throughout the years to hide all of his stupidity, along with Brigham Young's and others, then devastating to see how many people are falling into the trap of all this mess!
After coming on here, I finally went to a Mormon church yesterday to see what it was all about... just to give the Mormons on here a chance... maybe they aren't so bad. Good GRIEF! It was RIDICULOUS. I have never been to a more Godless service in my life.
The only thing that professed Jesus at ALL was one of the hymns. No one mentioned Jesus, and one of the stake high council was there speaking! He mentioned Joseph Smith and talked about various prophets ("profits"), but did not ONCE mention Jesus Christ.
There were three speakers and the other two didn't either.
I saw a couple paintings of Christ in the hallway and we sang one hymn about Him, but I did not hear a word spoken about Him.
I know, I know... Mormons will say, "we speak of Jesus all the time" etc. etc. etc.
I'm just saying what I witnessed yesterday morning and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with Jesus.
You want to hear about Jesus?

I found a similar thing. Not much mention of Jesus at all. The speaker talked on the topic of why we serve. He went over a few options, but failed to point out the reasons we should serve are; out of gratitude of Christ's atoning sacrifice, and because Christ came and served us. Anyone can give good advice, but only Christians can proclaim Christ.

The Tinman,
I consider you a true Christian and I agree with your post....thank you for being a bright spot while the others choose to swim in the cesspool of their own making.

<quoted text>I love to wade in my own shit.
Do you ever drink a gallon of beer, make a bath, sit in it and piss in the tub? It is quite refreshing. It makes my skin so soft.
I also enjoy eating sesame seeds and a couple of cans of corn and wait for my corn cobb to exit the poop chute. Make a tasty treat.
