Well, nobody handcuffed you & forced you to come into this thread. But since you entered it, I'd be interested in your take of Covey's points 6 & 7 as found on post #10:
Gordon's summation of Divine Center, p. 15: "He also argues that the beliefs of traditional Christianity are 'false maps ... in the form of beliefs or doctrines or creeds.'" Covey refers to Mormon scripture (Joseph Smith History 1:19) to prove that the beliefs of evangelical churches are 'an abomination in the sight of God.' 7. Gordon's summation of Divine Center, p. 68: "Covey labels the evangelical doctrine of salvation by grace alone a 'false concept' and an 'apostate doctrine.'"
So, tell us...since Covey calls Christians' beliefs to be "false maps" and references Mormon Scripture Joseph Smith -- History 1:19 which calls 100% of Christian creeds to "an abomination in the sight of God" and 100% of Christian professors to be "corrupt" -- does that by your religious book also equate to Covey & other Mormons who believe Joseph Smith's first vision recorded in 1:19 to be guilty of "hatred and bigotry"...or, are you always this inconsistent in your assessments?
And do not Christians have a right -- when a Muslim calls us an "infidel" or a Mormon calls us an "apostate" -- to defend and "contend for the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3)...or do you only read John 3:16 and passages that agree with that line and avoid passsages like Jude 3?
No thanks, I’ll stick to Muslim bashing and let you nutters have Mormon bashing all to yourselves.
John 6 28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" |
Galatians 3 1. You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. |
