Holy Moly! Godzilla sounds like those Southern Baptist preachers or holy roller types - condemning people to hell and demanding to know who has repented appropriately and fully and who has not.
You ask if I have repented of my sins. To the best of my abilities - and I had a boatload of sins to be sure - and in fact I am far from sinless even now. Not that it’s any of your blankety-blank business, you holier-than-thou walkin’-on-water types.
I love my Church and you just can’t stand it for some unknown reason. Be that as it may, Jesus Christ is my very Best Friend; He is my Judge and Advocate with the Father. I believe in the Holy Ghost, too, who is helping me get through this crazy mixed-up world - day by day.
Show me where I condemned you to hell SD - so stop bearing false witness
To the best of my abilities - and I had a boatload of sins to be sure - and in fact I am far from sinless even now. Not that it’s any of your blankety-blank business, you holier-than-thou walkin’-on-water types.
then you haven't truly repented of your sins -
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 58:43: “By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them.”
You say you continue to sin - then by your doctrine you haven't repented. Before you start blankety-blanking me SD, take your doctrine up with your bishop.
Oh, and for those sins you think you repented of just now -
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 82:7: “And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the former sins return, saith the Lord your God.”
Your doctrine states you just got them all back.
“Those who receive forgiveness and then repeat the sin are held accountable for their former sins.” —Gospel Principles, p. 253
This is what your Jesus does for you SD.
There is no paid clergy in the LDS Church. We are all volunteers. There is no passing of the plate on Sundays. We tithe, yes, but that’s a private matter and none of your business.
You can try all you want to tear down my Testimony of the Savior and His Love but you are wrong and wasting your time. I love Jesus and He loves me.
You are right about one thing. Your Jesus is not my Jesus. My Jesus accepts me and loves me; He does not condemn me. He came to save me from my sins. Your Jesus condemns me and rejects me. How sad for you that you actually believe you are qualified to judge me regarding my Testimony of the Savior.
Your ill conceived opinion of the LDS faith is leading you astray. I kind of get it, though, as I used to be an anti Mormon, too - out of ignorance and being deceived by preachers and other so-called Christians.
What does your doctrine say SD?
ALMA 11:37: “And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.”
You've already told us you haven't repented of all your sins SD. How then can this mormon Jesus save you. since this mormon jesus cannot promise forgiveness - why should I follow him? Again, before you blankety-blank me - discuss your doctrine problem with your bishop.
Looks like you owe Reaganaut an apology for false accusations about his ministry to Mormons. Will you do the honorable, and Christian, thing and admit you were wrong?

Yes, the Rev. Billy Graham is being vilified and jumped all over for removing Mormons from his ministry’s cult list.
- - - - - -
Can you read?! For the last time BGEA removed the ENTIRE list, not just Mormons from the list. Also, they still say that they consider Mormonism a cult. So your little ‘story’ is misleading at best.
Stop bearing false witness and deal with the fact Mormonism is a cult.
But cheer up, maybe you can get me banned/zotted again
- - - - -
More false witness against me Sandy. I had NOTHING to do with you getting banned. You did that yourself. Stop blaming us for your own mistakes, Sandy. You were the one that pushed JR into your ban. It was ALL you.
To the best of my abilities - and I had a boatload of sins to be sure - and in fact I am far from sinless even now.

Then you can’t get into the CK, Sandy. That is according to LDS doctrine - not us.
“Those who receive forgiveness and then repeat the sin are held accountable for their former sins.” —Gospel Principles, p. 253

Which means since Sandy has borne false witness against us, at least 3 times just on this thread. ALL of her past lies and false witnesses (even the ones she repented of) come back to her. No forgiveness for any of them.
That isn’t Jesus at all. That is demonic.
There is no paid clergy in the LDS Church. We are all volunteers.

Sandy, you need to do your research. While there is NO LONGER a paid clergy in the LDS - there was up until the mid 20th century. Even patriarchs got paid PER patriarchal blessing.
Today, LDS leaders get money by being placed on multiple board of directors for LDS owned business, up to a million dollars PER YEAR - even if they know nothing about the business for a SINGLE MEETING and stay on the board of directors until they die and get paid even if they cannot make the meetings (ET Benson is great case of this).
Additionally, CES instructors, MTC instructors, etc are ALL PAID.
Add to that, the LDS leaders have a built in market for their books. They publish a book of old talks, sell it for $30 dollars and know they will sell easily 500,000 copies. All money for them.
I can document all of this. So, don’t play the holier than thou card because your church has slave labor at the lower levels.
You can try all you want to tear down my Testimony of the Savior and His Love but you are wrong and wasting your time.

No, I want you to come to the REAL Biblical Jesus, not the false one of Mormonism and I want to tear down your ‘testimony’ of the Mormon CHURCH - not Jesus - a ‘testimony’ built on feelings regardless of the facts.
Mormons like you remind me of Esau who sold his birthright for a pot of stew.
Your Jesus condemns me and rejects me. How sad for you that you actually believe you are qualified to judge me regarding my Testimony of the Savior.
- - - - - -
I judge you based upon your Church’s teachings. Christ judged false teachers and legalists as well.
Your ill conceived opinion of the LDS faith is leading you astray.
- - - - - -
ROFL! My opinions are based on fact, and experience. Don’t forget I used to be just like you, a total TBM. They are not ‘ill concieved’ at all. I can back up everything I claim about Mormon doctrine.
BTW, you didn’t address any of my comments. Just the same old song and dance.
Mormonism led me astray. God rescued me from that demonic cult and I pray He will rescue you.

Thanks BB for trying, but I suspect Hell will freeze over before Sandy apologizes to a ‘daughter of perdition’ like me.
