@morace250 ...pretty much anywhere they actually take what the bible says as correct.... that woud be about it.....

[morace250]

@pierre777able I want to hear the elements of truth of mormonism..

[pierre777able]

@morace250 ...reaping and sowing, as an example. I think that it is pretty self evident that this principle operates in the life of every person on the planet. Every thought & action we think and do has a consequence - a simplistic example being watching an advertisement for McDonalds - thinking "I'm hungry" & going and getting a burger & chips. As your salt and triglyceride levels skyrocket, you feel thirsty and have some coke. Coke makes you more thirsty (diuretic) And then you die.

@HanginAbout There soul soliciting pigs...

@pierre777able Pfff...Like?

@dorisfenella ...Kosher is Hebrew - in a modern context, it means that it isn't right behaviour. What I am trying to say is that it is a common LDS tactic to attack the person, rather than the message - if you disagree, no problem - disagree with the points raised, but attacking the person isn't good behaviour. As an example, I might state that the LDS religion is based on kabbalah etc. Rather than attack me about my character or motivation for posting, defend your belief.

@pierre777ab Kosher? . My native language is spanish. Don´t understand.
