My word. What a horrid thread.
And the LDSers complain about *anti*’s (Mormon)????!!!!??!?!?!?!
How much worse can it get than implying that some FReepers could be the ones who started the fire?
I could just see the fallout if the shoe were on the other foot. A fire at an Evangelical church and some Evangelical suggested that some Mormon FReeper started it.
This guy boasted he was going to "shut down" FR a year or so ago, and since he failed to do that he has been posting THIS kind of garbage
and it appears that some of the FR mormons are following his lead.
That guy is way behind WND has always been anti LDS as far back as 2004 when RazorMouth would write scathing anti LDS stuff....
The Nauvoo Expositor wrote the truth concerning the behind the scenes life of Joseph Smith and his inner circle. Smith ordered it to be destroyed. It appears that some things never change - except that no one is going to burn FR down.
Someone say Presbyterians?
Your specious spin on what he wrote and taught I will not agree to, your momronism spin being opposite what James taught which agrees with the rest of the New Testament teaching that faith comes then works instituted by the leadership of the Holy Spirit within the beliver follow, else the faith is not 'faithing'.
With James I agree, and it was a journey of deep study that lead me to that agreement, but with your heretical interpretation of what James said I will not agree, your childish insults notwithstanding. Is there something else you need help with, bless your little heart?
Oh fer crying out loud. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn’t mean it’s hate.
In that case, every time you disagree with someone, you are a hater, too.
It works both ways.
Accusing people of *hate* to shut down the discussion and keep someone from expressing their opinion of you or your beliefs is a liberal tactic right out of their play book.
And it’s used primarily by the gays. Don’t fall for it and follow their intellectually dishonest practices and strategies. You’re better than that.
Looks like a liberty-hating anti-freeper from my perspective.
Viva la revolucion!!
But it IS ridiculous because a 5 year old can see the flaws in logic. If God was once a finite being then He isn't God and the Bible lies when it says that He's eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.
My choice here. Believe The Bible, which makes sense and is consistent, or believe Brigham Young, how doesn't make sense and isn't consistent.
It's a no brainer.
Did you even read the post? "WorldNetDaily is becoming, much like the conservative web site Free Republic: a forum for anti-Mormons."
So did you REALLY think the link was posted because of WND?
“Christ died for the UNGODLY” Placemarker
Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vainif indeed it was in vain? 5Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith 6just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
7Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for usfor it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” 14so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Works are a result of salvation to glorify God. They don’t earn salvation. Faith does that.
John 10:37&38 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. [Jesus is clearly teaching that without God's Spirit within, the works are not authored by God! The poster would rather work his way to worthiness because he believes the lies of Mormonism. Jesus is also teaching that the works are evidence that God is within, affirming what James wrote that first fiath then God comes into the human spirit to fashion the works of righteousness. Don't expect the poster admit to this very profound truth straight from Jesus.]
Christ died for the UNGODLY placemarker
[Stourme, you somehow failed to respond to all the posts upthread that documented the truth that Christ died for
the UNGODLY - not the “worthy” ...]
Please tell Roy and Greg that everyone here says "hi".
Matthew 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Notice here that John says that God GAVE us eternal live, past tense. We already possess it and it is given only through His Son. And John wrote what he did so that we may KNOW that we have eternal life. God wants us to be sure.
1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
Salvation is by faith so that no one can boast. When it's by works, that leaves room for pride and boasting, that one was good enough to do it. Then God doesn't get the glory, man does, and God will not share His glory with another.
Ephesians 2 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Christ came for everyone and invites all men to follow him. There can be NO GODLY people with out the atonement of Christ. Jesus Christ paid the price for sin for all those who would follow Him.
Utterly devoid of truth. |
I have no clue what you are refering too the point I was making is that guy was way behind on WND, who enjoyed posted RazorMouth scathing strawman stuff on the LDS.
Just like you don’t appreciate what this greg person is posting neither do I appreciate what WND takes delight in demonizing the LDS.
It all should stop!
I pray someday people can love one another as the Lord has asked and not hold grudges it only poison and weakens one system
To love One Another is a not a weakness for it is the Spirit of the Lord that editfies.
When we elevate or thoughts we are able to received from on high a better way to win this scrimmage we are in here on earth.
The arm of flesh can only go so far it is the arm of the Lord we need in this spiritual battle.
Eph 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
