"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written," Rom 3:4Because the lie of Mormonism is unrighteousness.
How many? How many lies? How many unrighteous Christians? 30,000....50,000 Protestant denominations. How many are unrighteous? Well the Catholics would say all of them. But within themselves how many interpretations of the Holy Bible exists. How many have their beliefs defined? How many use a fuzzy logic to define their religion. Which denomination is true and which tens of thousands are lies. Then you have the church of one....Non-denominationals.... millions...which person is correct, and which millions are lies. By this reckoning Christianity is full of unrighteousness, more lies than trues. What is a young Christian to do with this? What percentage of Christianity is made up of liars and condemners. Is it an attractive religion when you look at the character of the Christians? Does it build confidence that they cannot figure out the Holy Bible? Who introduced this fracturing nature in Christianity? Who would want to fracture Christ's Church? Who would like to see us condemning each other? At this point, after the damage has been done, our only logical, correct, and righteous thing to do is suggest unity and camaraderie within Christianity.

That includes me too to the extent that I am in error and teach what I believe as truth. Who is the Truth?
"Jesus saith unto him, I am … the truth..." John 14:6
Who sees Jesus better than through a glass darkly?
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part...I Cor 13:12
justbyfaith persecuting another is always wrong and hateful.Peer pressure can actually be a good thing, if used for the right reasons.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
Again, peer pressure can be a force for good, if it is used to motivate people towards good.justbyfaith persecuting another is always wrong and hateful.
There's no excuses for it.
This thread is not that (if such a thing even exisits).Again, peer pressure can be a force for good, if it is used to motivate people towards good.

A persecutor will never "save" anyone, rather people will naturally flee from them and the things they proclaim (via words or deeds).
For a servant of Christ, the focus should be on humility, love, and service. Showing His goodness through every action, and occasionally words.
justbyfiath, I respect your beliefs, even those I disagreed with. I have made that abundantly clear, and worked to 5 extra miles with you & be patient even amongst all of your accusations. I have not once persecuted you for your beliefs, and take great offense at your statement.Actually it is to a certain extent.
I agree. Those who truly persecute others (for righteousness' sake) are of the flesh; while those whom they persecute are of the Spirit (Galatians 4:29).
I believe that you have persecuted me on this very thread. I persecuted you back (because of what it says in Proverbs 26:4-5).
I agree wholeheartedly.
However, to be rude in speech is not necessarily a bad thing (see 2 Corinthians 11:6).
I have not once persecuted you for your beliefs, and take great offense at your statement.
That's not the actions being done or referred to on this thread.I do think it is important to point out two things
1. Being excluded from a group because of adherence to a particular doctrine or idea is not persecution
@aspen, if you were to come to an LDS Christian site, you would be welcomed with open arms as a sibling in Christ. The LDS Christian sites I'm on have regular non-LDS folks whom are moderators and regular posters. LDS Christian in no way doubt your standing as a Christian. If you would like to attend an LDS church service on Sunday's (which are totally open to the public) and happen to come during the monthly open-mic Sunday, you'd be welcome to come to the pulpit and proclaim your love of Christ. On all Sunday's you're welcome to partake of the Lord's Supper.2. Jane, I am just pointing out a simple truth here, if I were to post regularly on a LDS site and demanded to be recognized as someone who held the priesthood and spoke out about being excluded from the Temple, I would be called out by every Mormon on the site, so I am always a bit baffled when you fail to see why your claims to Christianity are not recognized on a site like this.
Is people we bashers and sinners surprising? No.As a Catholic, I disagree with people who fail to accept church history and therefore exclude Catholicism from Christianity, but I am not surprised by it
Neither is it worth any more of mine.<Nevermind, this is not worth my time>
That's bald-faced lie #72 from the hate-filled anti-Mormon pool.In Mormonism, I believe that a man is blessed the more wives he has by which he can produce children for his planet.
Why do you think Mormons are hated so much?That's bald-faced lie #72 from the hate-filled anti-Mormon pool.
It's the result of fear & poor quality faith development on the hater's part. It's MUCH easier to spread bad information and keep people controlled via fear-mongrolling, rather than the higher road of seeing others as still being people with some same and some different beliefs.Why do you think Mormons are hated so much?
*rolls eyes for the millionth time*They certainly don't believe in the real Jesus of the Bible
No; I am going to simply continue to pray for you and to ask you questions about any other inconsistencies that I see in the LSD faith when they come up.justbyfatih if you are concerned about my salvation, you can ask me questions and listen to the answers about the criteria you believe is necessary for salvation.
