But if IRS agents are taking beyond what is rightfully Caeser's, so to speak, then they're accountable for it just as much as tax collectors were in that time.

This snobbish way of speaking in an obscure way happens in every language. My own native language is spanish and I find a pity the way some of our University professors use language. Thank you This post is not only very amusing and witty, but also a big piece of truth.

Out of mild curiosity, can Gospel-time tax collectors be compared to modern day IRS agents? Well articulated.

I looked back over my post, and I don't ever anywhere say that Mormons aren't saved based on the fact that these two people struggle deeply with sin and aren't growing at all. My point was not that this shows that the entire Mormon church is not faithful to God and that this is shown by these two individuals' actions; rather, my point was "Is it any wonder?" Is it any wonder that these guys weren't growing? And my point is that it isn't any wonder, because of the fact that the entire essence of the Mormon religion is wrong, precisely on the difference between what you would say, and what scripture actually says, in response to that question I just asked above. Heidi,

Two things to say in response to this. first, I am not saying that something is true of Mormons because of .00000000000(some number of 0s here)1 percent of Mormons act a certain way. I'm saying this because I see it repeatedly in person after person I know who is Mormon. Second, I say that Mormons and Christians are separate because I really do believe that there is a difference between us, and I believe that this difference can be shown in your answer to this question (I hope you will answer it, at least): What does a person do to be saved, and who is Jesus? Heidi,

I am LDS. I am Christian, you make it sound like it's two seperate entities. Mormons are Christians. For you to claim that something is true of most if not all mormons based on the few that you have known (which would be less than .00000000000000000001 percent of the population) seems unfair.

Thanks for your comment. Nobody on the show was "drilled" about their religion, that I can tell. But I'm not sure if you're making this comment about the show or what I had to say. In the case that it was in reference to what I had to say, my entire point is that the Christian church is shamefully far from God and not very faithful. Nevertheless, I would like to make the point that my observations about Mormonism are not coming from these two people alone; I can't tell you the number of people I know who are Mormon who are just like this. The problem in both cases (Mormon and Christian) is that in neither case do the people even know God; in the case of Mormonism, this is true of most if not all Mormons because they reject what is so evidently revealed in Scripture, showing their hearts to not be tender before God and open to his word; in the case of most Christians, they are very impoverished in spiritual maturity and many of them, like I said, probably don't even know Jesus. It makes me very sad. :( Hey Aiko.

As far as I'm concerned, if they are still Mormon and haven't repented of their wrongdoing (example: extra-marital affairs) should not be part of the Mormon church. Notice no one else was drilled about their religion. Those two Mormons on Moment of Truth give us “real” Mormons a bad name.
