Huckabee asks if Mormons believe Jesus, devil are brothers

Which Christ? Which Doctrine? Everyone?

Jesus Christ. Any set of beliefs about matters unrelated to what Christ taught to be and do. Yes.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Doctrine unrelated to what Christ taught to be and do are commandments of men regardless of the church.

and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,

The doctrine of Christ is what He said to be and do. Anything else, like Jesus and Lucifer being brothers is superfluous and has no bearing on salvation through what Christ said to be and do.

LC, your scripture plucking doesn’t work.

It works a lot better than yours!

There are a LOT more Protestants and Catholics than there are Mormons!

[Elsie]

...although Jesus did issue commandments.

Even though you can't find any to cut and paste!

That doesn’t mean they are right, now does it?

[Old Mountain man]

Yes, you have chosen to explain your beliefs and I have explained mine. This is a basis for rational discourse among civilized people. We shall disagree about doctrine, but we have many areas of agreement. For instance, we are both morally centered conservatives. And whether or not you consider us “orthodox” (depending on the roman empire to define orthodox), we are BOTH Christians. I am pleased to make your acquaintance.

The crucial point is that Salavation comes at repentence and profession, THEN the presence of God within brings forth ‘fruit’ because of the LIFE coarsing through the faither as a grafted in to the vine of LIFE.

Excellent! Put that on your desktop as a rejoinder to the many posts regarding "works". I don't think you could have been more succinct! (only check spelling).;)

[Old Mountain man]

L.C., are you now saying that Jesus Christ did not lay down a new commandment to Love one Another? Don’t make me look it up and lay it out for you!

[MHGinTN]

Is this more acceptable?...

The crucial point is that Salvation comes at repentance and profession, THEN the presence of God within brings forth ‘fruit’ because of the LIFE coursing through the faither as a grafted in one connected to the vine of LIFE.

[greyfoxx39]

That’s just right ;)

[Elsie]

YOU said commandmentS - plural.

And then you give me ONE????

Don’t make say to the lurkers that you can’t find any more!

[Elsie]

That doesn’t mean they are right, now does it?

That doesn’t mean they are wrong,either; right?
