@jaxchii@ShannenPill Crazy! Fortunately my doctor said I would be wanting one sooner than later but no it wasnโt going to happen. He understood long labors and coached me through. Doctors avoiding potential lawsuits go all in. Her doctor could smell trouble. Cutting losses.
@ShannenPill Years from now she most likely will sport a fupa as her muscles are cut into. ๐ณ๐คช LAX muscles = urinary incontinence. Hey. Ppl tried to inform herโฆ..
Mike Lee's complaint only works if everyone agrees to ignore what Mormonism actually teaches.
He wants the public to focus on the label while averting its eyes from the contents.
But theology is not judged by branding.
If it were, every cult in America could become orthodox by hiring a better marketing department.
Mike Lee belongs to a religion that teaches God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood, that human beings may follow the same path, that Jesus and Lucifer share the same heavenly parentage, and that the highest aspiration of the faithful is not merely to worship God forever but to become gods themselves.
These are not minor disagreements within Christianity. These are different answers to the most basic questions Christianity asks.
Mike Lee knows this.
He was raised in Mormon royalty, educated in Mormon institutions, and formed by Mormon theology. His objection is not that the Pentagon misunderstood Mormonism. His objection is that the Pentagon accidentally described it accurately.
What makes the spectacle particularly amusing is that Mormon leaders spent generations insisting they were not what Mike Lee now demands to be called.
-Joseph Smith launched his movement by declaring every existing church on earth an abomination.
-Brigham Young mocked the God of Christianity as a being who "never did exist."
-John Taylor described Christianity as "a perfect pack of nonsense."
-Bruce McConkie warned that the doctrines of Christendom would damn men's souls.
-Gordon Hinckley openly admitted that the Christ worshiped by Mormons was not the Christ worshiped by traditional Christians.
For nearly two centuries Mormon leaders built a theological wall between themselves and Christianity brick by brick, sermon by sermon, book by book. Now Mike Lee appears before that same wall demanding to know who built it. The answer is simple: his own prophets did.
The deeper problem for Senator Lee is that Mormonism's truth claims are so spectacularly strange that they force a choice. Either they are true, in which case historic Christianity has been wrong for nearly two thousand years and Joseph Smith really did restore the gospel through golden plates, angelic visitations, sacred underwear, proxy baptisms for the dead, and a seer stone in a hat. Or they are false, in which case Mormonism is one of the most successful religious inventions in American history.
What it cannot be is ordinary Christianity.
The faith that emerged from Nicaea and Chalcedon has many internal disputes, but none of them involve exalted men becoming gods, planets populated by spirit children, or a deity residing near a star called Kolob.
Mike Lee is free to believe every one of those things.
What he is not free to do is pretend they are the same religion that produced the Apostles' Creed.
@BasedMikeLee Nah. Not Christian. Maybe being so worked up is the Holy Spirit of the Christian Trinity showing you the error of your ways? Time to become a follower of the one and only Jesus Christ. Go talk with Franklin. Franklin Graham that is!
@Pro__Trading Render unto Ceaser what is Ceasers. In other words God knows LDS is earthly with zero relevance just as ALL Christian denominations know this fact. Itโs been classified this way forevermore. The LDS needs to get over it. We will NEVER accept them as mainstream Christian.
@BasedMikeLee First commandment โNo other Godโ. Last words in Revelation โadd nothing to Godโs wordโ. I am going to need to defer on that suggestion.
@CharlieShemp@SeanParnellASW Subcategories are used most likely for chaplins to institute the sacraments during the divine service. Most protestant faiths donโt agree with other protestant faiths hence all the different categories. Communion isnโt crossed between denominations.
@ScottJenningsKY I visited this past April. Didnโt take ONE selfie. I prayed and sang Abide with Me. My pictures show repect and reverence.
Like your journalism but not this action.
๐จ Jon Ossoff just voted against the SAVE America Act.
80% of Americans support requiring an ID to vote.
But Jon Ossoff only supports checking ID at his rallies.
Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
@BeCoolTodayDude@ATLUncensored The location. It happened in Roswell Cobb county entering into Roswell Fulton county possibly starting in Woodstock Cherokee county. This is at the boundary of three counties lending itself to the question who is in charge and what county will prosecute.
