It is amazing and rather telling that each time I share my heart-felt beliefs I am assualted by others. I, as a follwer of Jesus Christ, allow others to believe as they may and willnot criticize others who have a different interpretation of Jesus Christ. I am not in the least concerned if others believe me to be Christian or not. I believe in a God that can discern the heart and knows of my love for Him. As for the atonement, it is false to say that we do not believe it is through the grace of God we are saved...after doing all we can do including repentance.
Don't be sensitive. You are not being personally assaulted. You are simply being asked to defend your beliefs and if they fall short you are being told where you are in error.
Very well said. I also will let Jesus Christ be the Judge on Judgement day as to whether or not we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints followed Him and His teachings. From 2 Nephi 10:24
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
The God in the Holy Bible isn't a liberal. Have you read the bible and seen any indication that he's a flexible kind of guy? He destroyed young children and babies in the flood because he decided they were destined to be irretrievably wicked.
