Colofornian ...

I have a suggestion for you .... on Sunday, for once why don’t you read the scriptures about Christ’s love, instead of trying to destroy other Christians belief system which you don’t approve of.

If you think this post is that potent .... please be an apologist for why your definition of God and Christ was:

A. Dictated by a pagan Emperor, Constantine.

B. When that Pagan Emperor became baptised he did everything he could to put the Nicene creed into the dustbin of history.

C. The Nicene Creed was ressurected by Emperor Justin the Apostate to fracture christianity in his attempt to reinstate paganism.

D. The Nicene Creed finally triumphed through Emperor Theodosius who established the eddict of Thessalonica which made alternative beliefs to the Nicene Creed punishable by death.

So in otherwords .... your belief system was established by Imerperial decree, Imperial Coercion and Imperial directed Murder.

I’ll take any critisicm of my beliefs that you can throw at me compared to the mountain of ungodly influence that established your belief system.

Sincerely yours, Teppe

“I have a suggestion for you .... on Sunday, for once why don’t you read the scriptures about Christ’s love, instead of trying to destroy other Christians belief system which you don’t approve of.”

Teppe, Christ’s love - the eternal God, never created nor made -does love you. Why don’t you turn to HIM instead of a false religion that believes in a creature that was later exalted?

“.... please be an apologist for why your definition of God and Christ was:

False! You have to stop just taking what they tell you without doing independent study.

“B. When that Pagan Emperor became baptised he did everything he could to put the Nicene creed into the dustbin of history.

False!

“C. The Nicene Creed was ressurected by Emperor Justin the Apostate to fracture christianity in his attempt to reinstate paganism.”

False!

“D. The Nicene Creed finally triumphed through Emperor Theodosius who established the eddict of Thessalonica which made alternative beliefs to the Nicene Creed punishable by death.”

False!

“So in otherwords .... your belief system was established by Imerperial decree, Imperial Coercion and Imperial directed Murder.”

False!

“I’ll take any critisicm of my beliefs that you can throw at me compared to the mountain of ungodly influence that established your belief system.”

You funny man!

The Great Command is to love the Lord your God with ALL your heart. All your soul. All your mind.

Whatever happened to the mind teppe? Why don’t you honor God by doing some independent research?

I have an idea missy, why not start your own thread with your anti-Christianity ravings and ping us. K?
With all of your supporting evidence as to why the lds was once a man god and created lds jesus, who needs Joseph Smith’s help for salvation, instead of the Eternal God Almighty and Jesus Christ. Who gives Salvation freely by Grace, as opposed to the lds salvation “after all you can do”.
K?

Constantine was a Christian convert and a saint in the Church. Unless you discount your own LDS efforts at converting people or admit you look down on said converts your argument is specious at best.

Therefore the rest of your post is also..

"So in otherwords .... your belief system was established by Imerperial decree, Imperial Coercion and Imperial directed Murder."

"I’ll take any critisicm of my beliefs that you can throw at me compared to the mountain of ungodly influence that established your belief system."

That certainly is a polite way of putting it.

However, calling it a mountain...(err only a mountain?) is a huge understatement. And I think it speaks well of you that you refrain from going that route. Heaven knows you could.

It's bad
"The Martyrs Mirror is a collection that chronicles hundreds of stories of Anabaptists who were killed for their faith. The first part of the book contains the story of Jesus and continues by recounting the martyrdom of saints from the Bible and those who soon followed. The second part of the book jumps to the killing of the Anabaptists by the Catholic Church and the Lutherans and portrays these martyrs as part of the unbroken history of Biblical martyrdom."

"There is the unjust persecution which the wicked inflict on the Church of Christ, and the just persecution which the Church of Christ inflicts on the wicked. - St. Augustine"

And the list goes on and on and on.. With a history like that, making up a belief like "All you have to do to be saved is believe!", becomes a necessity. Because when you start adding in all the scriptures about works, things start to not look so good.
