You said LUKEWARM much better than I would have!
AMEN!
Contrast against:
The Second Book of Nephi
Chapter 25
Nephi glories in plainnessIsaiahs prophecies will be understood in the last daysThe Jews will return from Babylon, crucify the Messiah, and be scattered and scourgedThey will be restored when they believe in the MessiahHe will first come six hundred years after Lehi left JerusalemThe Nephites keep the law of Moses and believe in Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel. About 559545 B.C.
23 For we labor diligently to write, to apersuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by bgrace that we are saved, after all we can cdo.
Without the Law the Gospel has no power,

What's the alternative?
Accepting any zany philosophy that happens to attach 'CONSERVATIVE' to side of it's sound truck?
Yea but since we’re both hating bigots from the goon squad I didn’t put a lot of effort into it ;)
Celeried | disruptor |
Really, Dougie no answer, no ability to back up your claims, not surprised not surprised at all - I win the game and you are the loser.
How come you get paid ???
THats not fair !!!
That seems to be happening a lot lately. You’d think these people could back up things they say. I guess not. But remember...”WE” are the ones with issues.
I actually HAVE one of those!!!
Fair or not?
Who’s to judge?
My goats don’t think it’s ‘fair’ that the SHEEP seem to get all the good stuff in the Bible; but THEY don’t complain!
I am not trying - I AM! And the fact that you NEEDED to ask all your 'damned' questions - shows it's you who is 'trying'.
Ive learned from my eight years training for the ministry that telling people that theyd better believe the exact same as you or else theyre damned is NOT the way to bring people around.
I'm not trying to bring anyone around - I post THE TRUTH OF the WORD and the Holy Spirit does the rest. NOT surprising at all, you didn't know this.
But The WORD is the same for everyone. There is ONLY ONE WAY, ONE TRUTH, and ONE LIFE.
If anyone feels damned or not - that's, personal, about them and not for you to decide. After all, it is designed to have an effect as The WORD of God is ALIVE and ACTIVE.
"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
If anything, its going to make them reject the Gospel because its being delivered with such overwhelming pride.
That's YOU interpreting the delivery for yourself and your agenda. And I might add that's pride. It's ALL about Jesus - so get over yourself!
I like sheep!...Oh wait...Wrong website....NEVERMIND! ;)
Yea, harsh but sounds about right.
I am not trying - I AM!
People think mit's SO hard to 'be' one.
So many 'rules & regulations' to follow and obey...
Jesus answered, The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps Gods commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Baaaaaaad Boy!
And here I thought it was Jesus that was power....the power to overcome sin on our behalf.
Pretty sure that Grace trumps the Law.
Hey if two dudes can get married, well.... ;)
