Thanks Reno!, always appreciated.

Have you ever heard Glenn Beck's arguing with idiots segments? These forums often remind me of that.

It seems that some of the antis just can't stay on topic, they wander around and try to find something, "anything" they can "win" on and it really does look bad to others who actually know how to debate. Can you do me a favor and join me in praying for Godzilla for the rest of this week? I'd really appreciate it, IMHO, he needs help.

Do me a favor Delphi, pray for me too this week. I can use all the prayer I can get. But please pray to the one God, Almighty, name above all other, holy of holy, and not the Mormon God of this world, just a member of a multitude of gods. Okay?

(I also think it is entirely telling that you asked your co-religionist to pray for Godzilla and not for you. Do you think you don’t need prayer as much as your fellow man?

rejoice that I am not under the bondage of mormonism but that I have my freedom in Christ. I have the truth and testimony of the Bible, founded upon facts (and not fiction). I rejoice in the Power of God in my live in a real and tangible way. And I worship the Triune Creator of the Universe who for “while we were yet sinners” (Rom 5:8) He came down and sacrificed Himself on the Cross. There was absolutely NOTHING I could do to merit salvation of any kind on my own, since all my works of. . righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags;(menstrual cloths). . . . (Isa 64:6). Yet because of His sacrifice I am sanctified and perfected forever.. (Heb 10:10,14). For it is by His grace I am saved, through faith regardless of anything else I can/could do, so that I cannot boast in my own rightness but on the grace of God. (Eph 2:8-9). Were I to die today, I know without a doubt that I would be in the presence of the Heavenly Father.

Amen!

May many more come to the same knowledge of their Lord and salvation!

SOP.

All for show.

[Reno232]

Will do. He as well as the others are in my prayers frequently.

[svcw]

And who would that be to?

[Reno232]

Your verbiage may be very telling of the spirit which directs you. Does the Spirit direct you to use foul language?

I didn’t think that was allowed here. Of course, a lot of things have changed around here, maybe that’s one of them.

.May many more come to the same knowledge of their Lord and salvation!

Seems that many former Mormons do just that every day. We have more than a few among us here.

Truth will out.

You got to admit the well practice combination of arrogance and indignation, among other theatrics used by the LDS folks is entertaining...

Kind of like the late TV pitchman Billy Mays meets local Shakespeare theater..

My, my du, talk about me without pinging me, poor decorum 'ol chap, one would almost think you are being less than Genuine here. That is OK, because I know that the Holy Spirit has opened your eyes to see in Joseph Smith the wolf and not the sheep's clothing for perhaps the first time in your life. Perhaps you should review 1Ki 18:27, for all your efforts.

Their self-righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees.

Don't you think it telling that Reno calls you out for a supposed offense of bad language, yet absolves himself of his own sins, and pretends that he is somehow “holier than thou”?

Last time I looked (this morning) pride is still a grievous sin, and one I struggle with too.

Meant to ping you to #274. I was talking about you.

I only pray to the God of Abraham, and of Issac, and of Jacob. Him I will be happy to pray to for you.

Oh, I absolutely need prayers, I am just reluctant to ask, I guess I have a martyr complex (is that a bad thing?) to work through. You have a good point, can you pray for me to be more willing to ask for prayers from others?

Thanks!

Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.

Thanks Reno, I knew I could count on you.

Can you pray for me too?

(Thanks for the suggestion CC!)

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
