DAVEH: I do like being
accepted as a Christian though.

DAVEH: That is one thing I find so interesting about TT,
Izzy.....
Christian tolerance is a rare commodity here.
Supposedly, TT is an
open (to everyone) forum where even sodomites are
welcome. In
reality, most TTers find it difficult to accept (or
perhaps I should say,
feel comfortable) having those with contrasting views
be an active
part of TT.
Judy:
I don't know that there is such a thing as "Christian
tolerance"
DaveH.
Jesus didn't exactly practice Christian tolerance
toward sin but he
did love and help sinners by healing and forgiving them
while ATST
telling them to "go and sin
no more" - and when John pointed out
someone who was casting out
demons in His name but who was
not part of their group,
Jesus said "Do not forbid him for noone
who works a miracle in My
name can soon afterward speak evil of
me - for he who is not
against us is on our side" Mk 9:38,39.
What I find sad on TT is how professing believers
reject people
Jesus died for. How it is possible to
communicate a loving savior
to ppl we despise and reject I don't know. How
does one lay down
their life for those they consider beneath them?
It's something to
ponder.
As for Mormons teaching Christian virtue. You may
call it that but the
reality is there is no power in your lives to live
it. My daughter used
to go to Salt Lake City on business trips and she has
friends who were
raised there (some ex Mormons but not believers,
and one who is a
Christian Scientist). All concur that beneath a
squeaky clean surface
appearance fruit in people's lives is just as
rotten as anywhere else
and respect for persons worse because the LDS
Church runs the
State of Utah and non Mormons are discriminated against
there.
Grace, mercy, and peace to you,
Judy
