Guest Biblicist Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Thoughtful, We should always strive to aline our beliefs with what God's word says about a subject. And God does address this very subject in His Word. Philippians 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Im not at all surprised at how many people disagree with me. It's not that we disagree with you, it's that you engage in a kind of relativism. To equate the phony religion of Mormonism to Christianity is, well, relativistic. Be not deceived; God is not mocked. (Gal 6:7a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starinhand Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) I was watching tv Sunday nite I turned on the comedy channel. This show was called Silverman or Sarah something. What ever it was it was horrible. I never saw such disrespect for God. I only watched a sec. of it and was disgusted by it. Why would people think these shows are funny. you know what... I too have noticed that while everyone is still living in peace and quite happy, there is a lack in morality... Now you can blame whoever you want but I solely point the finger at all the good people in this world. You can not look at the sinners and blame them for sinning, what you need to do is look in the mirror and wonder why you have not saved them yet... Just my viewpoint on every situation I come across.

Guest starinhand Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 When South Park aired their mocker against Mormonism, three churches i went to at the time were laughing and talking about it and glad that it finally showed the "craziness" of Smith and his tale of the angels and the tablets. Why is that funny? Because we think they're wrong? Even if you dont find that "funny", i dont hear Christians standing up for Mormon's, who claim to believe in the same God just not in the same light. Alright you know what... I dont want to overstep my mark by using words I should not use to explain what I think about Mormanism but frankly I think they are no more than a rediculous cult. They are trying to modify the Bible to fit their southern roots and what started off quite as racist American version of Christianity. Their tales of the Garden of Eden having been in America and Jesus one day returning to the south is blasphemous. It clearly states in Genesis that it was in Ethiopia and not only that but maps out Abrahams Journey across the middle east. Next thing you know they're going to start saying the Jews weren't slaves in Egypt they were actually enslaved in California... The Mormans are rediculous and are in desperate need of saving.

Trusting Jesus Posted December 20, 2007 Group: Royal Member Followers: 1 Topic Count: 66 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 2,050 Content Per Day: 0.34 Reputation: 22 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/12/2007 Status: Offline Birthday: 09/09/1952 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Although I think it is very base humor to mock anyone (and not funny) I will only defend Christianity and not false religions and cults. My Lord and my God was mocked, spit upon, beaten, and crucified. You can read about it in the Gospels. This was not funny in the least. If you can laugh at Jesus or laugh at mockers jokes - mockers who have no religious convictions and are lusting after worldly pleasure such as money, drugs, etc. - then I suggest you re-examine your own convictions about Jesus the Christ. The Messiah. The Saviour. The King of kings and Lord of lords. The Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End. "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Galatians 6:6-8 You mention God's judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah. God has always give people the chance to repent. He holds off judgment and always raises up people to speak the truth. Noah preached for many, many years as he built the Ark. Others mocked God but Noah stood firm. Noah and his family was saved. Lot lived in Soddom. He should have been standing his ground and preaching to those who were about to taste God's judgment. Read about the mocking that went on there. Today Christ has the Church. We need to be standing firm and not joining in the mocking of our Lord. Judgment is coming and will happen before too much longer. Be sure that you are not among those mocking. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
