mormon coffee

...forbidden, but it smell so good in the aisles at the market.

@divegeester

then you are not familiar with the 1920ish revelation of that then prophet of the church making the word of wisdom a commandment and not a suggestion as the prophet joseph advised.

learn something of the mormon history before you post. do not rely on wikipedia like duchess64, etc.

@divegeester

i report to the official positon of the Church of Christ of Latter-Day Saints ( as it has been since the 1920's ).

"A candidate for baptism or admittance to an LDS temple must agree to abide by the faith’s Word of Wisdom, a health code that bars the use of these substances.

The temporal advice was first pronounced as a divine revelation in the 1830s by Mormon founder Joseph Smith, given not as a “commandment or constraint,” but as a “word of wisdom.” By the early 1900s, though, LDS leaders moved to make the prohibitions mandatory, and now such abstinence has become a hallmark of Mormonism.

Coffee cups turned upside down — sometimes dubbed the “Mormon flip” — and Sprite in wine glasses signal LDS faithfulness to onlookers and would-be judges.

These drinks remain out of bounds, even as evidence mounts that moderate wine-drinking is beneficial, and both coffee and tea contain antioxidants to help fight off disease.

Though some point to the code as a reason for Latter-day Saints’ generally good health and longevity, Mormon officials acknowledge adherence is not primarily about health.

“It’s a symbol of willingness to live in obedience to the standards God has revealed through his prophets for members of the church,” says LDS spokesman Eric Hawkins, qualifying them to participate in sacred rituals."

Heavenly Father has made it very clear. He set up Commandments. They are not about "points". They about obedience. His Son, the Elder Brother to us all, Jesus, gave us two additional ones. They were not "suggestions" or about making "points". They were commandments.

Commandments are about obedience and not "points".

@divegeester

you must mean "am i a paulist"

jesus never set up a church.

paul did.

so you really ask, "am i a paulist ?".

( or am i just a peter ? )

jesus only wanted to reform the synagogue.

@mister-moggy

jesus never set up a church.

paul did.

@sonship

peter was working within the jewish tradition. paul was not. the words you quote may have been but a paraphrase remembered poorly later by the writer or it may have meant "my church" as the reformed jewish sect that jesus led and peter was meant to continue but paul ran ahead to the gentile world and won the race against peter.

@mister-moggy

jesus only wanted to reform the synagogue.

@sonship

yes, sanhedrins ( like paul ) but jesus was not telling anyone to fear the ordinary jewish people whom he wanted to fill the synagogues with his new reformation of judiasm.
