I make no claim that I am an anti-Christian, so I do not have to engage myself in a mainstreaming strategy.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I said nothing about you being anti-Christian, but selective use of part of what I said makes it look like that.
To refresh your memory, I am going to ask you the same question again.
(even though I do not expect an answer, just like the others I have asked this question to have not answered, after all, this is your second post to me since you were asked the question)
From post #27:
“This was an interesting article to read, then you turned it into a “Mormon” bashing session.
I find it very offensive that you have included The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as non Christian.
To show you have the truth on your side and that you have the right to do this, please answer the following::
Besides reading the anti-Mormon sites, and anti-mormon threads here at FR, I also read some of the anti-Christian sites.
Their arguments are about as bad as the anti-Mormon sites.
PROVE TO THEM that Jesus is really the Christ.
And, please practice here before you face the anti-Christians. I would like to see how you defend your belief in Christ.”
Clearly seven - we don’t agree on your interpretation of the scripture.
I’ve laid out my position. There is no temple needed. There are no blood sacrifices, secret handshakes, initiation rites, sacred undergarments etc.
IMHO your quoted scriptures are in no way suggesting that there is a requirement for those things. Again, Christ is the propriation of the sin offering - He said, it is finished.
Now you may want to speculated on the time of his return, and the rebuilding of the Temple at that time, but I do not. So I have nothing further to answer, thanks for asking those questions however.
Every one wants to tell e why I am wrong, but no one wants to tell me why they are right.
The tearing of the temple curtain from top to bottom is antithetical to temple secrecy.
Have all the ornate buildings you want.
Call those buildings whatever you want (cathedral, temple, synagogue, mosque, etc.).
There is no longer secrecy of ritual or restriction of access to places man makes, nor any intermediary necessary besides Christ.

Look more closely, I was told I was wrong on a post to cc.
I am thick skinned, tender hearted, and willing to attack like a gamecock to to defend defend right.
Ps, that is gamecock the bird, not the person.
So CC, what definitive proof do you have that your OPINION is that of the Lord’s? Or that Sevenbak’s isn’t?
Having read this thread from top to bottom, I see little if any alteration of word or meaning.

Sometimes people cannot see the difference because they have not yet learned to look from the readers side.
The readers side is not important if all a person wants to do is put others down.

Somewhere in there you ask a question.
I am of the understanding that you would like to see how I would explain Christ to someone who I think opposes Him personally or who belongs to and advocates an institution that I think opposes Him.
Fine, see post #64 for such an example.
Figures lie...and liars figure.
According to Mormonism, personal witness trumps all, right?
I prayerfully asked of God if Mormonism was correct and my answer was a warning against it. It was revealed to me that Mormonism is Satanic. :-)
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
I also did as the Bereans did.
The apostle Paul went to Berea and told the people all about Jesus and what He taught and what happened to Him in Jerusalem.
The Bereans were eager to find out for themselves if these things were true. Do you know where they looked? They looked in the Old Testament Scriptures that told of the coming of Jesus.
Here’s what the Bible says about the Bereans:
“As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.” (Acts 17:10-12)
So if you’re eager to look through the Bible to find out if what I’m saying is true, then you’re like the Bereans!
Thankfully you don’t have to take my word for it. You can take God’s Word for it.
Be a good Berean about the things I tell you or the things other people tell you. Check it out in the Bible to see if what they’re saying is true.
Funny.
I don't find it offensive that thousands of mormons think they are Christians.
What I DO find offensive is that thousands of mormons are deceived by the mormon church.....
BTTT
As far as the Berean’s are concerned, nowhere do the scriptures indicate that that was all the Berean’s did to come to a knowledge of the truth or all that they had to do.
As far as you receiving an answer from the Lord that Mormonism is Satanic, if you received that answer, surely you could receive answer as to what church is his true church. What was that answer?
That information is between me, my Bishop and Jesus Christ, the head of my Church.
Since you are none of the above and never will be, it is none of your business.
Go on back to Westboro where you belong.
I am a member of the body of Christ - I know this through the scriptures with assurance!
So you aren’t are you?
I can respect your views. But when you prayed, what answer did you get as to what church was His? I’m curious.
