Why didn't you tell me??? (Page 2)

Is that "F*ck South East Religions"? Thank goodness I live in the SW.

Opus,

It actually is in part our recruitment that makes others in the religious world not like us very much.  There is an underlying non spoken law between other religions to not step on each others toes.  As members for them = $$$ in donations. So they don't go and 'recruit' from other congregations.  LDS on the other hand believes in spreading the gospel to all man.  They don't like $$$ going out of their pockets.

Now this is not all of them, but a lot don't like that.

Oh and they think we're going to hell, but they think that about a lot of people .

Uh Oh. Now we started a religious debate.  Can't go anywhere but down.  

I'll just argue with the above post and say that yes Mormons are Christian and also beleive that the only path to salvation is through Jesus.  

With all love and charity toward you, my sister in Christ, I'd say the issues that divide us are pretty big.

The main one being the belief that Jesus left us an apostolic, hierarchical church that ministers the seven sacraments, and that Jesus commanded us to give assent to that church and those sacraments, thus ensuring the we enter fully into His mystical body.

Also, just to clarify one point in general, while we believe that salvation is through Jesus, that does not mean that those who do not believe in Jesus can't be saved, even if they die in unbelief.

Jesus is the gate keeper of the bridge to heaven, but what happens when an unbeliever dies and is surprised to find themselves at the toll booth is between them and Our Lord.

Yeah, I'm COJ-theologied out too but I agree with Don (we've discussed this in the past).  The differences are both larger and smaller, more blatant and more subtle, than this characterization.  But I realize you were trying to speak in generalities. 

We will have to disagree on most of your points except one:

"I don't profess to know a ton about Mormons..."

I'll give you that one.  But yet, we must be wrong, because someone else said it even though they also probably lacked the knowledge.

I have no issue with people disagree with knowledge on the subject.  Everyone can make their own choices. 

Back on topic, I've shown that picture to about 10 people today...priceless. 

Isn't he just taking roll call at the local BT gathering?

That's not on his list, though. Apparently, you can get into heaven walking around bare-a$$ed as long as you're wearing a checkered shirt buttoned all the way to the top. Wouldn't want to show any chest.

Well if you're a sex-addicted, lewd, and rebellious woman, or just a run of the mill non-child-molesting homosexual, you have nothing to fear.  Just remember one thing:  Who's your Buddy?

Edit:  I think I have decided on what I'm wearing for halloween this year. 

 - Why only the 'child molesting homosexuals'?  Why not all child molesters?

- Rebellious women?  But I love them.....

- Sports Nuts?  How about religious fanatics?

He's my buddy! Jesus loves us ALL, regardless of our sins, HELLO! That is why he died on the cross! God is the only judge and not us! Love everyone as I have loved you! It is all about love. Love the picture!!!!!
