Here’s the citation from the article:...Hi Michael,<br /> Here’s the citation from the article:<br /><i>Land, who considers Mormonism to be a “fourth Abrahamic faith” — and thus distinct from Christianity — said there has been “gradual increased understanding on both sides.”</i><br /><br />It says Land considers Mormonism to be an Abrahamic faith. Period. But Mormonism is NOT an Abrahamic faith, and that is the problem with that statement. Mormonism does not descend from Judaism, Islam, or Christianity, nor is it a separate religion descending from Abraham. It has its origins in the false Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. Since there is nothing true about the LDS faith, it cannot be an Abrahamic faith.<br /><br />I was even intimating that Land thought they are a Christian faith. The point is, he should not give them credence for being any part of an Abrahamic faith - i.e., based on the O.T.<br /><br />Does that make sense?Glenn E.

I am a Southern Baptist myself, and not approving of some of the ways we address our differences with the LDS church. But I think we should quote our sources better. You made a mistake about Land. When he said that they are a "Fourth Abrahamic Faith" he said this to say that they are NOT Christian, but something else. Your source says it correctly, but when you quoted it, you left off the last half of the source, and, at least to me, it appeared to now say that Land was saying that LDS has a Christian claim. That is not what I got out of the source you quoted. <br />I am not also saying that you did this on purpose. This is just how it "appears" to me. If I am wrong, and I hope I am, Sorry. You can correct me. Thank you for the article. I do believe that we are getting too close to LDS, and we should call our the truth to others about the lies LDS makes.Michael Johnsonhttp://www.puritans.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-5225201853722111332013-11-25T17:12:04.973-06:002013-11-25T17:12:04.973-06:00Amen, Glenn, exactly, that's what I was trying...Amen, Glenn, exactly, that's what I was trying to say, you said it far better.<br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-35150086057798835512013-11-25T14:53:47.200-06:002013-11-25T14:53:47.200-06:00I have no problem joining with non believers for a...I have no problem joining with non believers for a political cause, but it should never be seen as representing a particular religious stance while doing so. For example, my non-believing neighbor might want to have me assist with posting political signs against same-sex fake marriage - we could do that together as citizens rather than as Christian and atheist.<br /><br />In which case, Mohler should not have been where he was because the appearances are that Christians and Mormons are together in their spiritual beliefs, regardless of how much Mohler spoke against their doctrine.Glenn E.

I still think it's inappropriate to yoke with unbelievers - especially those in a cult - even over "moral issues". <br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-19643950684230812622013-11-25T10:34:41.815-06:002013-11-25T10:34:41.815-06:00At least Albert Mohler made no bones about there b...At least Albert Mohler made no bones about there being irreconcilable doctrinal differences between the LDS and Christianity.Glenn E.

AAAAAAARGH! I read that article about ...Hi Glenn,<br /><br />AAAAAAARGH! I read that article about the Pearls (hadn't previously heard of them), as well as your other posts about them, and Challies' review, and my blood boiled! To inflict such harm on a child, all under the guise of it being "God's way" and done in Jesus' name, misusing the word of God, is utterly reprehensible! HOW WICKED! Those Pearls better read the verses about millstones...<br /><br />Speaking of such wickedness, our (husband and me) home church is currently doing another type of "God's way" parenting curriculum, and when I researched it, turns out it is off the mark just like the Pearls. <br /><br />Re: Warren's Daniel Plan, yes that is new age to the core. I'm starting to be convinced that only naive people and fools listen to Warren. <br /><br />Re: Evangelical compromise with the LDS... sadly Al Mohler even went to SLC and spoke there about yoking with the LDS for conservative values. As you said, 2 Cor 6:14-18, absolutely.<br /><br />The rest of your roundup was excellent, thanks for keeping us all informed.<br /><br />-Carolyn<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
