@BasedLatterDay Got it. Im sure it varies state to state, but the most common way ive seen to get certified is to become an "ordained minister" through another "church". Kinda adds another level of apostasy, imo.

@EvidenceOfFaith When my faith & religion are mocked like this, I dont feel shame nor do I question my faith. It just makes me want to double down. Pray more, attend the temple 2x as often. I'll pray for you, brother.

I've waited a few days to say anything about the recent Department of War (DoW) decision to not list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Christian religion. I wanted to make sure my opinion wasn't being driven by an emotional response.

I think it's a good thing. Initially, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion when it was recognized by the US Military. The way that religions are listed have a few second and third order of effects, specifically manning requirements for Chaplains and Chaplain assistants across the force.

When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion then, from the DoW standpoint, any Protestant Chaplain can meet the religious needs of LDS Service members. When it comes to manning requirements, an LDS Chaplain and a Protestant Chaplain become interchangeable, meaning that if an LDS service member is in an area that has the required number of Protestant Chaplains then there is no need and potentially no positions for LDS Chaplains at that location. Even if the majority of Christian-affiliated service members are LDS, as far as the DoW is concerned, their religious needs are being met by the Chaplains already assigned to that location.

Listing the LDS Church as a non-Christian religion means that the DoW now needs to ensure that they have a minimum number of LDS Chaplains among their ranks to meet specific religious needs. This opens up opportunities for promotion and advancement for LDS Chaplains currently serving, as well as a potential increased need for LDS Chaplains across the force.

Plus, and this is my opinion, Church leadership probably also had a say in how the LDS Church was listed by the DoW. The Government would have consulted Salt Lake, just like they would have consulted the Vatican and major Protestant associations, in ensuring their religion was accurately listed with the DoW. Otherwise it opens the government and DoW to lawsuits related to religious freedoms.

@mightytomany @TruthHolder2023 To be saved? no. To enter the kingdom of God? I believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church. Therefore, I believe you do. But im just some nobody on the internet. Ask God, He knows. James 1: 5-8.

[Latter-day Outlaw @LatterDayOutlaw]

@mightytomany @TruthHolder2023 All men will be saved from death. All men may be saved from sin. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

[Latter-day Outlaw @LatterDayOutlaw]

@mightytomany @TruthHolder2023 Correct. Salvation is a free gift. The choice is yours whether you accept his Grace, repent, and turn to Him, or you reject Him and wallow in sin.

[Latter-day Outlaw @LatterDayOutlaw]

@mightytomany @TruthHolder2023 To be repentant one must turn away from sin and turn toward Christ. It is through his Grace that we are able to do so.

[Latter-day Outlaw @LatterDayOutlaw]

@TruthHolder2023 I'll have to pay closer attention, but I dont think that my experiences align with that exactly. Sometimes I dont know what the truth is, I just know that whatever I read or heard isn't it.

[Latter-day Outlaw @LatterDayOutlaw]

@mightytomany @TruthHolder2023 I am not sinless. I am repentant. Are you repentant?
