[SP]All the people posting all these religious posts, believe in their own concept of Jesus. But not Jesus the person. They follow that concept, but not the real thing.

[metmom]How do you know what Jesus they believe in? Did they tell you? Did you do a survey and ask them?

This is probably the most demonstrable point there is in all of Christendom. In other words, it's easy.

1. Their concept of Jesus doesn't require works as a requirement for salvation only belief.
How many times has this been repeated on this forum?

2. The real Jesus says the complete opposite. He actually explains it in detail.

Matt 25
31 ¶When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

When the Savior returns He will separate those who are saved and those that are to be cast out.

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Jesus says that it's because of what they did that qualified them for His grace. The Apostle James explained what this means. James said that what a person does, their works, demonstrates what they believe.

1. Jesus even goes on and explains it further:

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

This is how I know people worship a concept of Jesus and not the real one. They've made up a concept, like an idol, and they worship it.

3. How many on this forum go around pronouncing themselves saved?

4. Matt 25 is a prime example of the Lord explicitly telling everyone that they won't know they are saved until He tells you face to face.

5. Luke 13 - the Lord Jesus Christ says that the vast majority of people who claim to believe in Him are going to hell.

6. Jesus gave a reason as recorded by Luke, they rejected the prophets. Rev 11, fact, two real prophets in the last days are killed in Jerusalem.

Fact, you've stated in this thread, you won't follow any man. So, you've already rejected these two real prophets.

So by the Lord's own rules, by which He has stated that He is going to cast out so called "believers", what is your eternal fate going to be? By those rules I mean.

This is why I say you believe in a "concept" of Jesus. Because if you believed in the real one, what I just said should scare you to death. Because it sure does scare me.

Would you, being so much more educated in the scriptures, show me this teaching in Numbers 21 and in John 3, to Nicodemus? Thanks, I’m sure you have our best interest at heart, so you will do this for us, right?

Because if you believed in the real one, what I just said should scare you to death.

Once again.

Will you explain the LDS concept of Jesus?
