Thank you for your opinion but I will continue to strive and doing my Heavenly Father and His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ Will.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
CHAPTER 13
Paul extols the high status of charity—Charity, a pure love, excels and exceeds almost all else.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
John 14
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 13
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 5:
39 ¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Acts 17:
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Jacob 7:
23 And it came to pass that peace and the love of God was restored again among the people; and they searched the scriptures, and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man.
May the sweet Spirit of the Lord find you!
Resty, I just wanted to say that when Mr. Robinson gets tired of you insulting and patronizing him and he just quietly vaporizes you, I’ll miss you. I’ve been an Inmam for just about a year now and you’ve made it so interesting and worthwhile. Wish I knew how to keep in touch with you.
LOL
Oh Resty
after attempting to use the words of the Christian Bible as a weapon against a Chtistian...
You pop just ONE verse from your own book of mormon into your argument right at the end...
“Jacob 7:
23 And it came to pass that peace and the love of God was restored again among the people; and they searched the scriptures, and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man.”
“and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man.” is a link... to what ???
and who is the “wicked man”
Is this what you think of Jim Robinson ???
Are you calling Jim wicked, trying to get banned? Even if you got banned, would it prove anti-Mormon bias, or just that you were insulting? You are failing to display the charity found in the Bible passage you quoted.
When you try to be clever in using scripture to try and insult someone (you spittled in closing, "and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man" ... and you directed that at Jim Robinson who allows your religion to post at Freerepublic!), you are not loving the other, you are feeding your twisted ego. Astonishingly, you appear incapable of shame as you repeatedly insult the host.
May the sweet Spirit of the Lord find you!
Just to clarify, because you are LDS.
Christians do not need the Mormon Heavenly Father or the Mormon Jesus Christ:
JESUS CHRIST: The spirit of Jesus Christ was the first spirit born to God the Father (YOUR "Heavenly Father") and his wife (Heavenly Mother). He progressed to become a God under the Father. (The Father is also the literal father of Jesus' body in the exact same way we were begotten by our earthly parents.)That is the jesus of the LDS from their own writings.
We believe in the Biblical Jesus Christ.
You have a different one.
Thank you.
There you go again!
Using SCRIPTURE that has NOT passed by Joseph Smith.
The Spirit of Apostacy lurks at your door!
