Don’t change the subject which is you, you ask a question and now you want to change the focus of your inquiry.

Still waiting for you to answer the question resty - LOL - how obamaesque. The question still is:

Do you believe I follow the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the apostles?

Do you accept those statements by your apostles and prophets - embrace them - hold the to yourself?

My salvation is sure resty

“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.…For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” —Hebrews 10:10, 14

I am continually perfected in Christ - can you say the same resty?

Have you completely abandoned sin resty or are you seeking forgiveness for the sames sins every week?

Discontinuance of the sin must be permanent....the former transgressor must have reached a ‘point of no return’ to sin wherein there is not merely a renunciation but also a deep abhorrence of the sin — where the sin becomes most distasteful to him and where the desire or urge to sin is cleared out of his life.” — The Miracle of Forgiveness, pp. 176, 354-355

“And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the former sins return, saith the Lord your God.” —Doctrine and Covenants, Section 82:7

Have you denied ALL ungodliness from your life resty?

Have you cleared “all ungodliness” out of your life? “Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ.…” —Moroni 10:32

Can you honestly say to the image in the mirror that your life is completely sinless? Is all ungodliness out of your life? Can you say that if you were to die at this very moment you would receive God's grace? Moroni says that you won't receive that grace resty - furthermore

“And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven.…Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.” —Alma 11:37

You are still a sinner resty - and all those sins you've asked forgiveness for in the past - they've all been put back on your account again (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 82:7).

Keep working resty and let us know when you've attained the required level of perfection by your own works of righteousness - which reminds me resty

Isa 64:6* But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Remember resty - ALL works of righteousness done to exalt yourself are as rags resty - bloody menstrual cloths (literal hebrew translation).

I on the other hand am

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”—Romans 3:24, King James Bible

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”—2 Corinthians 5:21, King James Bible

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.” —Colossians 2:14, King James Bible

“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.…For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”—Hebrews 10:14, King James Bible

I can say that were I to die this very moment I would be with heavenly father forever - have you perfected yourself to say the same?
