@KOB4 Democrats ignore all the actual reasons for low wages, high rent, poverty, homelessness, crime, etc. They blame the problems on all the wrong things, spend billions to fix them and wonder why nothing ever changes. NM is screwed.

@PatrolmanMalone Our faith is rooted in Jesus Christ.

Not afraid at all. I have a copy and I have read it. It's problematic in many ways and has serious credibility problems, to say the least. It comes down to this: If your faith is rooted in Joseph Smith, you aren't saved by Jesus and can't be a Christian. That isn't just my opinion, scripture says it. Jesus Christ is the only Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Him. No one. And there is only one set of credible ancient documents that tell us about God's plan, His prophecy, Jesus' life, Jesus' sacrificial death for our sins, His Resurrection from death and what happens on His return. Joseph Smith was not the Messiah. Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah.

The level of fraud here is mind-blowing

It does seem that the LDS are being unfairly singled out here. If the essential criterion for Christianity is Trinitarian theology, why do the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Oneness Pentecostals, and even Quakers (in some instances) get a pass here?

@FFT1776 @Sassafrass_84 Nuclear families should get priority.

Your thoughts on gay couples adopting children? 1. Do children need a mom and a dad? 3. Can two dads provide everything a child needs? Whats everyone’s opinion on this?

On election night in Los Angeles County, I pulled every statewide race directly from the California Secretary of State’s official results page. Same ballots. Same voters. Same night. The governor’s race the most important, most advertised race on the entire ballot received roughly 100,000 fewer total votes than the controller and secretary of state races. On the same physical ballot. The exact numbers from the official SOS website: •Governor total votes: 796,467 •Controller total votes: 901,756 •Secretary of State total votes: 889,586 That means 105,289 more people voted for state controller than voted for governor. And 93,119 more people voted for secretary of state than voted for governor. Do you know what the state controller does? Most people don’t. It is one of the most obscure offices on the ballot. Yet it got more votes than the race that determines who runs the largest state in America for the next four years. All Republican governor candidates combined on election night: 222,712 votes Republican controller candidate (Herb Morgan): 302,552 votes Republican secretary of state candidate (Don Wagner): 291,650 votes That means roughly 70,000 to 80,000 people voted Republican in the controller and secretary of state races but did not cast a Republican vote for governor on the same ballot. These are not different ballots. These are not different voters. This is one piece of paper. Governor is at the TOP. Controller and secretary of state are further DOWN. People don’t undervote on the top ballot. They undervote on the bottom ballot. How does this make any sense? What am I missing people who are smarter than me?

By the end of his life, President Howard W. Hunter's body had become a catalog of suffering. A massive heart attack. Coronary bypass surgery. Bleeding ulcers. Kidney failure. Back surgeries that left him leaning on a walker or sunk in a wheelchair. And finally the prostate cancer that would kill him. Few men have been asked to carry so much for so long. He did not complaint about any of it. That was the man. A stoic, quiet resilience that never once curdled into self pity. He simply bore it and kept moving. In April 1988, he came to general conference on a walker to bear his testimony before the whole Church. The doctors had told him he would never stand again. He stood anyway. Partway through, his body gave out and he fell backward, hard, breaking three ribs in front of the entire congregation. Three men lifted him to his feet. And then, with cracked ribs and every eye upon him, he finished his address as though nothing had happened. Afterward he only smiled. He was strength. You need men still willing and ready to drop the hammer on disobedience. Mercy without discipline is not mercy. It is indifference wearing mercy's coat. A church that will not correct does not actually believe anyone can be lost. Authority that flinches teaches the flock that nothing is truly at stake. Men answer to the voice of authority, not to weakness. The masculine soul does not rally to apology or to endless accommodation. It rallies to a command worth obeying, to a father confident enough to ask everything. Strength is not cruelty. It is the refusal to apologize for the truth. Hunter could not stand on his own legs. He stood anyway. He fell, and he rose, and he kept speaking the word of God. That is the measure. Not a body that never breaks, but a will that will not quit, a faith that will not negotiate, a church that will not soften the words God gave it to speak.

@Incornsyucopia @justin_hart I don't get how you think this verse clashes with LDS theology. It seems more of a refutation of the Trinity. Christ was with God the Father from the beginning, and He was a God. Seems clear enough. That's what we believe.

@justin_hart Please reconcile the Prologue of John’s Gospel with LDS teaching on who Jesus is. Oh right, you can’t because they completely contradict each other. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.” This is not at all what the LDS Church teaches.

Let’s compare the 2 theologies in discussion right now. Which one better reflects the Christ and God of the New Testament?

@ShadowLake21 @justin_hart The Creedal Christianity is the other gospel. Ours is the original restored.

@justin_hart But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. Gal 1

The phrase “Mormons aren’t Christian” loses all credibility when you listen to the testimony of a man who searched for Jesus Christ’s true church for 47 years, even becoming a pastor himself and memorizing the Gospel of John. He refused to even look at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because of what he calls an “accusatory fog” emanating from other Christian churches. In his sincere search, that lasted nearly half a century, he never found what he was looking for (Jesus Christ’s biblical church) until he humbled himself enough to look into the one thing he thought he despised. youtu.be/2zitvWLG7s4?si…

@FightWithMemes I think it exposed who the true Christians are. The ones who believe Christianity is primarily about believing in Jesus Christ and following His teachings, rather than a bunch of creedal litmus tests.

Fine. But the damage is done. The conversation that erupted on this controversty exposed a LOT of people what Mormonism truly is, and it's not Christian. I was especially glad to see ex-Mormons speaking out about the faith they left behind and their conversion to Christianity.

I can see a time when Christians and Creedal Christians will need to stand together to survive, When harsh persecution is poured out upon all those who are doing their best to follow the teachings of Christ. It won't be a happy time, but it will bring us together.

@polysophical That's the classic "Hitler wore shoes and so do you, therefore you're Hitler" fallacy.

“California is a fraudsters' paradise, make no mistake about that.” @USAttyEssayli breaks down how California has eliminated almost ALL of its fraud-prevention measures: “Almost ANYBODY can register to vote in the state of California. You don’t have to have a social security number and you don’t need a driver's license number. [You can vote with] a gym membership, a prescription label, your employer ID card, and my favorite, a health insurance card, which California gives out health insurance to illegal aliens. It used to be against the law to handle anybody’s ballet other than your own or your immediate family member. That changed in 2018 in California. Anybody can handle anybody’s ballots... California has removed the paper trail, they’ve removed the chain of custody, they've removed any meaningful way for us to basically have a forensic audit of where a ballot came from.”

@FatherChrisVor1 It takes some serious mental gymnastics and Greek philosophical reasoning to cram all your Gods into one triune being so you can claim to be monotheistic, while also claiming others are polytheistic for worshipping the same beings as separate individuals. Mind boggling. 🤯

So much conversation happening right now about Mormonism and whether or not it is just kind of a weird form of Christianity. Before we ever get into the nitty-gritty of this question, we must first ask if Mormons are monotheists. They are not. Lord have mercy.

@JohnCornyn @SenateGOP Whatever. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT.

I was proud to vote for the Working Families Tax Cuts, which is providing real relief for the American people: ✅97% of filers received a tax cut  ✅Nearly 70% of Americans receiving a tax cut earned less than $100,000 ✅Taxpayers receiving No Tax on Tips saw an average deduction of $7,000 ✅Filers benefiting from No Tax on Overtime saw an average deduction of more than $3,100  ✅Nearly 40 million families claimed the enhanced Child Tax Credit

@SweetSavvySavio Those councils weren't Christian. They were convened and presided over by the government. Governments shouldn't set the rules for who is and isn't Christian.

Already did Mike. Yes, Mormons believe in Jesus Christ. But they believe things about Him that Christians who accept the original Christian councils don't. Can you admit that? Why the need to fit in? If you have the truth, why not stand by it even if it makes you different?

🗳️ Many have been asking me describe the potential signature verification loophole for Los Angeles mail in ballots. It says: “If a voter is unable to sign, the voter can make a mark witnessed by one person.” Here, the person drew a happy face & “witnessed” it with a scribble. That scribble isn’t validated as being a real person. No name, nothing. While a happy face may draw scrutiny, a plain line would not. This could hypothetically enable mass harvesting where the voter never fills out, signs or even sees their own ballot. We should be told how many ballots show up without the voter’s signature.
