I’m sure His Holiness is honored. Nevertheless, while it may be harmless to His Holiness, these practices should always be condemned outright as they are definately not harmless to those who practice them. As far as reflecting well on the LDS- “well” in wht regard? That it shows the world more clearly their superstitious and arrogant nature? Why would anyone do anything but condemn such an evil act?
the baptizing of our dead IS an insult to our religion. That their intent may be otherwise doesn’t change that. And it is not true (by a longshot) that they can’t practice their religion without “baptizing” people who have nothing to do with their religion. The LDS Church has agreed to stop the practice. On paper,. In reality, it continues.
that is a good one…Why should it be an “insult to your religion”? It has absolutely nothing to do with your religion at all. It has to do only with our religion. The only reason why it might offend you would be if you were not sure of your own religion. You can go and baptize as many deceased Mormons as you like. Let me assure you that we will not be offended one little bit.
so why do you “push” your religion on others??? Especially after they are dead and cant tell you take a hike??
You are baptising dead jews to give the “opportunity” to renounce judaism in the hereafter. Just deal with the fact that it is incredibly insulting. You don’t have to agree with it. But if you are fooling yourself if you think this practice is not hurtful and insulting to jews.
Do Mormons read actual scripture at all? Baptising the dead is an insult to Jews such as Valke for the same reason it is an insult to Catholics. We are “historically” offended. The sense of insult certainly did not begin with us. In fact, if Mormons read scripture they would not question for a moment that Mormonism offends Jews and Catholics. For the same reason that Elijah was so seriously offended by Baal and Ahab. All those many years ago. Seriously superstitious and offensive religions did not orginate with Joseph Smith. They have been around for thousands of years.
From what I was reading on the OP’s link one needs mega computer space for that. Perhaps we could convince IBM to develop storage capacity for that. Apparently God can’t keep it straight who is a Mormon and who isn’t. He needs Intel processors.
I have already retained a lawyer and provided funds for a lawsuit against the LDS Church if you try it on me -
FALSE RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS
Like I said, it can be only insulting to you if you are not sure of your own religion.
LOL; I am curcumcised, and I am a living Mormon not a dead one. You are welcome to go and circumcise all the dead Mormons if you like.
Hey Z how about if I post Mormon Temple Ceremonies - It is only insulting if you are not sure of your religion
Certainly it is true that all false, dead, and apostate religions are offended at true ones. That is a valid observation: “… And they were offended at him” (Mark 6:3).Do Mormons read actual scripture at all? Baptising the dead is an insult to Jews such as Valke for the same reason it is an insult to Catholics. We are “historically” offended. The sense of insult certainly did not begin with us.

It’s insulting that Mormons “baptised” the Pope after his death because it completely disrespects what Pope John Paul II taught and believed. If the Mormons who decided to do this, did so because they thought PJPII was a good man, instead of doing their dead baptism ceremony they should investigate how a man so obviously filled with Christ could have been entirely shaped by Christ’s goodness in a supposedly apostate Church.
