@nicoraytruth You will need to name a son Moroni to keep the continuity going.

@FloppingAces Media has *never* treated a Democrat party leader like this. Not the warmongering LBJ, not the inept and weak Carter, not the perjuring philanderer Clinton, not the "Lie of the Year" perp Obama, not the cadaver Biden.

You've probably heard that daddy longlegs are the most venomous spider alive, saved only by fangs too small to break your skin. Every part of that is wrong.

The common daddy long leg isn't a spider. It's a harvestman, a different arachnid with one round body instead of two, and it can't spin silk. It has no fangs or venom glands.

But you should love it anyway. It spends its days eating dead bugs and rot off the ground, which makes it part of your yard's cleanup crew.

If you see one of these guys in your yard, don't squish it! Count yourself lucky.

@fishingis1st @AntiWokeMemes My thoughts exactly!

[josef4th @josef4th]

@bestofStarTrek Sure.

@PubliusCulper @antiantimormon Himself being the key word there.

[Kate @kate_p45]

I’m f*cking LIVID. I feel exactly like I did in 2020 right now. Our country is being destroyed in real time. Elections being rigged again, judges playing dictator, and Republicans in Congress doing jack shit about it.
ENOUGH.
Republicans in Congress! Start FIGHTING for this Republic RIGHT NOW or get the hell out of the way.
We’re not doing 2020 again.
We’re not watching our country get stolen and destroyed in slow motion while you tweet tough and fold like cheap suits.
Fight like our Republic depends on it because it does.

[Alma The Defender @antiantimormon]

Yes. We believe that we can become Gods. We can become exhalted through Jesus Christ.

And it is beautiful doctrine. Just as a loving father wants his children to become the best they can, so does our Father in Heaven.

He wants us to enter his presence.

This does not mean that we will ever be equal to God. This does not mean that all will become Gods and Godesses.

But we are divine beings with divine potential. We can become heirs and joint heirs through Jesus Christ.

And why do you believe that you have power to limit what God can or cannot do based on your interpretation of what we currently have as the Bible?

The real reason they don’t want voter ID is to commit voting fraud. That is the obvious truth.

Children in my church—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—know this song, “I Will Walk With Jesus”

Pay attention to the words

If this isn’t emblematic of Christian faith, I don’t know what is

I should be honest with the people who want to engage in religious debate with me.

I'm happy to debate any topic of my faith, given that it's an honest and open debate.

I've reached a point in my faith that for me to deny this church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as God's one true church on earth would be like denying the sun shines. After all I've experienced, I cannot deny it.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you have hatred for my church and what I believe, please stay away from me. I cannot be moved. I have given more in the name of standing for my beliefs than you can imagine. Hateful Words are empty vessels.
The church is true. The Book of Mormon is true. Dallin Harris Oaks is a living prophet. I am not here to be popular. If you have questions, ask. I have a few friends here who share my beliefs, many of whom can answer your questions better than I can. But if you ask, accept our answers rather than lore of the internet.
I am a Christian, a Disciple of Christ, a daughter of God.

[Jonathan Plumb @jonathanplumb]

Mormons aren’t Christians.

It’s so clear by their music.

Read the offensive words of this children’s hymn:

I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

[josef4th @josef4th]

@miles_commodore Yep. Thats about right.

[James Divis @j_divis]

To all who are wondering if these statements about Mormons/LDS not being Christians are true, I encourage you to visit the @Ch_JesusChrist website and learn more about us from the source to see if we aren’t Christians.

“…ours is not a ‘generalized Christianity.’ Being neither Catholic nor Protestant, we are, rather, a restored church, the restored New Testament Church. Thus, our origins and our authority go back before the time of councils, creeds, and iconography.” - Jeffrey R. Holland

[Brett Cain @BrettWCain]

There are a lot of people who expend their energy in trying to tear down other people’s faith. I don’t care what people have to say about what we believe. We should be the best examples of followers of Christ that we can be.

[Brigham's Burner @FiredUpCoug]

When you say I have to accept “the Nicene Creed” to be Christian, could you be more specific?

Do you mean the creed produced in A.D. 325 at a council convened by the Roman emperor Constantine, who was trying to settle the Arian controversy and preserve unity in his empire?

Or do you mean the version most Christians actually recite today, which comes from A.D. 381, when another Roman emperor, Theodosius I, convened the First Council of Constantinople to settle further disputes and more fully define the doctrine of the Holy Spirit?

Because that seems like a pretty important distinction.

One was created under Constantine, a Roman emperor with no priesthood authority, whose interest in Christianity was inseparable from his interest in imperial stability.

The other was expanded under Theodosius, another Roman emperor who used state power to enforce religious uniformity.

And somehow I’m supposed to believe that my faith in Jesus Christ is invalid unless I accept the theological conclusions of emperor-sponsored councils held centuries after Christ and His apostles?

You are free to trust those councils, led by rulers of the same empire that crucified Christ.

But please stop pretending that your post-biblical, politically entangled, imperial committee language is simply “biblical truth.”

And stop acting like you have the authority to decide who is and is not Christian based on a person’s willingness to pledge allegiance to Rome’s preferred definition of the Divine.
