Some people will hate any religion and any people who follow that religion simply because it differs from their own.

Personally, I wouldn’t want to carry such a burden in my heart. I accept that you believe that what you are saying is the truth.

The Bible plainly states that Jesus is the only Begotten Son of God and that he was visited by the Holy Spirit after his baptism by John the Baptist. ~ Monkey face

Luke 3 states

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Give us a list of them...

You’re not a christian. why bother

There may be lurkers here that will be deceived by those ‘churchs’.

It’s your Christian duty to help them avoid the error; don’t you think?

////
It is not the churches but rather the heresies that are making the 19th famous for bad theology. The reason for this is that the churches the embraced the heresies of 19th century — died or are dying. That’s why Christianity has shrunk to a remnant in Europe.

But I understand you’re dead and you’re lonely for fellowship of corpses. So these are matters of indifference to you.

As Jesus was dying on the cross, he asked his Father to release him from the suffered ~ Monkey face
___________________________________________

Tennessee Nana says NO He didnt...

Alright we are into using right words here but due to the fact MF has CF it is not always easy to have the energy to bring to mind the right words, I should know I have good days and bad days.

Mark 14

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

Matt 27
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 ¶ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

But the concept is the same

That spirit which is harbor in some when they know what the other person met but refuse to assist [do you mean this] is not a spirit that comes from God

YOU just read OUR minds, did you not?
You KNOW what we feel and think?

Don’t assume by second-guessing either of us. Stick to the topic.

Of course they do but so does it reveal when one knows what the other was trying to say and refuses to “Do unto others as they would want them to do unto them!”

when one is so caught up in the letter of the law they leaving out the spirit of the Lord.

That is what being a Christian is all about.

Monkey face I love this talk I have learn so much from it.
excerpt from;
Beware of Pride
President Ezra Taft Benson
http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=d8ff27cd3f37b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____

The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others. In the words of C. S. Lewis: “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. … It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone.” (Mere Christianity, New York: Macmillan, 1952, pp. 109–10.)
