And no, tithing has nothing to do with getting saved. We are saved by grace through faith. But getting saved is merely the starting line. My original comment on tithing was directed at Elsie who had spoken with authority about 'true Christianity'. I was merely trying to find out what her version of 'true Christianity' really was.
Thank you for your offer of prayer. I ask that God will continue to reveal Himself to you and that you would share in the unlimited inheritance of his Kingdom here on earth.
You have swallowed the pill...you’re vocabulary usage is all to familiar to the discerning. Time to turn.
WHY do you assume that I tithe?
I just wish they'd've used pinking shears on me...
(You must have failed to notice the reply was from the MD fellow that uses my computer when I step out of the room...)
It's kinda like a 'True Scotsman'.
Not quite; but the MORMON BASHING of
The TITLE of this thread:
Why Mormonism Can Never Be Part of True Christianity
I’ll watch out for that next time.
I suspect you're a hit and run poster. Stop by, drop a blasphemy and not reply, but I will post this rebuttal to your nonsensical and non-factual post.
Would you say that using the term "sense" in this application is akin to mormons teaching; "Since we have a HF, it only makes sense that we have a heavenly mother, doesn't it?"
Is that the kind of "sense" you're talking about here? Cause if so, that is man made doctrine, which pretty much describes mormonism. That is the logical fallacy that mormons enter into when attempting to persuade people about mormonism.
Call upon the person's reasoning or intellect vs. using the Bible to verify the truthfulness of an assertion. That is the work of the devil.
True, but I can’t see where that’s a problem unless one just wants to have others believe as they do.
I never know when he'll pop up and use MY computer to proselytize for HIS religion of choice!
Mormon theology is based on First Century Christianity. Other denominations base their theology on Fourth Century (man-made) Creeds. Read more about this on:

“Based on”?
Is that like saying a television show is “based on” something that happened but “certain” liberties were taken with the actual events themselves to make the story more entertaining?
Where and when did Jesus supposedly take out His endowments and get married in order for Him to return to the presence of God?
re: “True, but I can’t see where that’s a problem unless one just wants to have others believe as they do.”
I did not start this thread, but to be honest, I really don’t think this forum is appropriate to discuss such issues. One’s religious views are so very personal and it is difficult not to offend or to be offended when disagreements occur.
The reason I even looked at the thread was curiosity regarding what the posted article would say about the Mormon doctrine of God being an exalted man.
I joined in the discussion, not to argue or beat someone over the head, but to attempt to clarify the contrast between one system of belief and another.
You say that differing religious views are only a “problem unless one just wants to have others believe as they do”. But, that is only true if you think that what one believes doesn’t really matter. I disagree. I think what one believes about God has eternal consequences.
Jesus told His disciples to share, teach, explain, (and, yes, even defend) the Gospel. Now, He offers His Good News (that’s what the word “gospel” means) as a gift. You don’t have to accept it. You don’t even have to listen - but, I, as one of His followers (and a very inadequate one at that) don’t have the option to “not” tell. I don’t have the option as to whether or not to at least make an attempt to tell others.
It’s not my place to “make” someone believe anything, only to tell - that’s it. I’m just relaying the message of His Gift - no one has to take it.
I see you are blog pimping your site again eh bot.
Too bad it uses the same, worn-out excuses and doesn’t express the facts of the matter - mormons want their church to be true more than they want the truth.
Actually Mormonism is based upon 19th century theology.
ok
