I didn't follow up on that thread because it was turning hateful and THAT IS non-Christian and against God's Word. Look at the time stamps - Swedenborg wrote 35 volumes - I'm 55 and am still learning... she came to her conclusion in minutes from an un-sourced statement of faith somewhere on the internet? Her profile has "I will do as God Almighty commanded do my best to expose false teachings and prophets, if you are offended take it up with Him." Remember all you heretic watchers: Matt 15:10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
no sweetie, it's God's definition.
But, hey thanks for following me from thread to thread coming up with conclusions about why I beleive what I beleive ....
And what I said is correct.
R, Davie seems to be really interested in what I have to say and God not so much.
Hey, and I echo that Rubio - what?
And the same reason why there is so much depression with mormon wives......when a husband is angry and starts yelling unworthy and it excels to the bishop also yelling unworthy - well that never ends well.
Luther only used three to four Bible passages? Do tell. Would you like to provide some documentation for you claims?
If the works of the Law, handed down by God Himself at Mt. Sinai, can't save anyone, then what makes anyone think that any other works will save anyone?
Nobody says works aren't important. It's that works don't save.
Beck...
Isn’t he on suicide watch?
Sodom and Gomorrah got Lot; not Jonah.
The get the shaft, though, in THIS 'teaching'...

And it's ALSO bad for males; considering the fact (that no MORMONs seem to dispute) that only about 15% or so of all of them are FULLY qualified to reach the HIGHEST levels of MORMON heaven - the place where GOD will actually dwell.
So look around, MORMONs, at your family of seven - mom, dad and five kids. Only ONE of you will be with GOD, the other six are stuck on second base FOREVER!
So, if you're the high achieving one, and you want to REALLY be part of the Forever Family; you'd better not get that Temple Recommend after all!
The Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God. Just saying you "believe" you are saved does squat. It's how you WALK (do) your life in Christ - salvation is at the end. Self Examination and repentance leads to eternal life - Christ's words.
Luther died miserable and quite insane (Varieties of Religious Experience - Wm James)
Golly!
I wonder why?
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Ah...
I see that you ARE a 'saved by grace' man!
But also a 'kept by works' one; too.
As does God...
Luther's justification by faith alone
Again Luther was quoting God's words.. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17
the just shall live by faith Habukkuk 2:4
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in His blood. He did this to demonstrate His justice, because in His forbearance He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--He did it to demonstrate His justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Romans 3:22-28
and some more verses on faith
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:38
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Please add me to the “Inman”/”Inwoman” ping list, if you will. My grandpa, Graybeard58, tells me that it’s a prestigious list and regardless of what “Elsie” tells me, I do not have to pay dues to him to be a member.
I’m going back to work soon and likely won’t be able to contribute a lot to the discussion but perhaps, I’ll learn something.
salvation is at the end.
