It was her opinion. Also mine. Donate or read-only.
You keep my bank account out of this.
I’ve posted many many passages fro Stourme, to show how faith is first and faith is what gets counted to make one whole in Christ
If some one tells you they have faith do you believe it? or do you need to see it before you decide?
I am not a works of the law believer, but i do not believe that is what James is talking about, i believe he is simply talking about doing to others as you would have them do unto you.
How ever i do not know what the object of your comment believes.
When i was a kid i once received a one dollar bill from a stranger to buy something to eat, ( well it happened more than once )i said thanks and i will pay you back, well how could i pay him back? i did not even know who he was, he told me that if i ever found any one in the shape i was in to just give it to them and that would be paying him back.
It did not take me too many years to understand what he meant, but that is what it is all about.
One of the commandments is to love thy enemy, how would you love your enemy other than to give them something to eat if they were hungry? or to pull them out of the ditch?
For all i know the man who gave me the dollar to buy me something to eat may have considered me an enemy.
Those things has had more to do with me being a believer than any other thing.
If i had to show my faith by works of the law, i would be lost :period:
Also if we had to show our faith by works of faith we also would be lost as far as the church is concerned, because we are not to do every thing to be seen of men, True works of faith are rarely seen of men.
You been a bad boy ???
When theres holes in a thread...
Resty, this is a very good question for a Mormon to ask. It's all very confusing for Mormons becasue they don't understand that angels are an entirely different order of being.
People can never become angels. Angels can never become human (in spite of all the heart-breaking infant obituaries.)
Satan/Lucifer/The devil is a fallen angel, kicked out of heaven, taking a third of the rebellious angels with him.
We are not told of any plan of salvation for fallen angels. THEY HATE OUR GUTS!!!!
(Instead of pretending to BE Christians, why not actually BECOME Christians?)
WOW TM4...
You have hit the nail on the head with that question...
:)
Does it have to be "correctly translated" scripture?
LOL! I loved that stuff!
Indeed.
As I said, you need to caucus with your posse to get your story straight. In #232 stourme stated:
No one is saying they do. Jesus Christ saves us. Jesus has requirements that must be met or He will not save us.
Having requirements to be met are also known as qualifications resty. The full context is there, so why do mormons have to twitch and squirm so much when the scripture so clearly speaks against them?
I got to be Emma Hale in a mormon Christmas program once.
I was only a shepherd in a grade school production of Amal and The Night Visitor. I wore my brother's bathrobe and said (with a sweeping arm gesture) "Good night my dear friends, good night and farewell".
The sad thing was I am a girl. A girl who had very short hair, MOM. The girls with long hair got to wear their mother's slips, cardboard wings and foil halos and be angels.
I'm still torn. It WAS a speaking part after all.
You lift up my heart :-)
Ummm....what a dilemma...give to a $50 BILLION dollar Corporation...( LDS, INC. )or give to...FreeRepublic.
I'd just leave if I was you.....
You are having a REALLY good day.
This is one the LDS will fight to the death, because if this crack is opened, the whole dam comes crashing down.
What you all NEVER seem to understand is that....I love you enough to speak to you directly about your errant ways. I have prayed about it, researched it at length...and have found that mormonism is a false religion. A cult. Period.
I don't dislike mormon's....it is mormonism that I dislike.
I tease you resty...but I would never accuse you of arson, or murder.
Ummmmm.............................
OK, sorry :-)
I know the words and how they are used can get confusingYes, the words Telestial Kingdom and Terrestial Kingdom can get confusing. To Christians.
Emma Hale...
The lady with some guts and sense...
She didnt go with Brigham Young to his lair in the Rockies...
Ah, the Celestial KIngdom. The place where those who do the will of the LDS church go, you mean.
