Perhaps soon you'll begin to focus on your own? Because right now, you are in a very, very bad situation, and you need to correct it.
We aren't just "Christians," we are the ONLY Church of Christ, period. --Illbay |

Thanks be to God, He did not leave His children without hope, however. The Truth has been restored, through the instrument of Joseph Smith, the prophet who was blessed to open this last dispensation of the fulness of times!
You have access to ALL this truth, if you but reach out and receive it! All the Latter-Day Scriptures are here for you, if you want them!
How wonderful for you to have this priceless gift!
And one day, you just might realize the truth of it, and leave your dead works and your false creeds and half-truth-strewn theologies, and Come Unto Christ!
Amen and amen, no truer words have you ever spake!!
Here's one: "HEAR this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt,... Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." [Amos 3:1,7]
You reject the Prophets; you reject the Lord's command that you heed the Prophets.
You reject and excoriate Joseph Smith, the Prophet of this Dispensation. You reject him and so you reject the Lord as well.
That's just the beginning.
Fat lot of good.
Accept that Jesus is the Christ, that Joseph Smith is the prophet of this dispensation. Accept the Book of Mormon, accept baptism by TRUE authority (rather than the vain "authority" that is empty and meaningless, as the priestcrafts of this world have fashioned), and accept the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
Then and only then will you be on the road to eternal life.
Anything less is damnation.
How can you have any comfort if you have no gaurantee? You said this.
It means should I become slothful, and not keep my convanents.
Wrigley you are really seem dense!
But than you are the one who believes that all you have to do is say "I believe in Jesus"! and you are IN like fynn!
My little child: I have acknowledged Him and caused the angels to marvel in Heaven. You do not know of what you speak, perhaps you should stop now.
Oh, I ask that from time to time.
It means should I become slothful, and not keep my convanents.
You cannot do this. It is impossible. You cannot work to ensure your salvation. Christ assures me of that. He is my gaurantee.
Wrigley you are really seem dense!
Maybe. But since that sentence is worded weirdly...
But than you are the one who believes that all you have to do is say "I believe in Jesus"! and you are IN like fynn!
I believe you are mistaking the what and why of our works. We do not keep his commandments to save ourselves. We try to keep them to honor and glorify him. Good works are a sign of our salvation. Not the means.
I caution and warn you, and now our discussion is at its end: you are blasheming now, the Holy Spirit, Who is The One Who baptizes, and is the One Who baptized me. This is the unpardonable sin. For your soul's sake, leave now and seek forgiveness.
Read them again carefully!
These words sound more than vaguely familiar...could it beeeeeeeee....................
1)Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which teh LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2) And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3) But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6) And when the woman saw tht th tree wa good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired tomake one wise, she took of the fruit therof and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her: and he did eat.
7)And the eyes of them both were opened, and the know that they were naked: and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Listen my good fellow, you need to repent of your error. You need to stop eating a fruit that slowly but certainly poisons you! You need to plead your case and request forgiveness before the true High Priest of the order of Melchizedek, who has never been replaced, because he is alive forevermore. You need to stop sewing the "fig leaves" of works together into a garment that fails to cover the nakedness of your sins.
It is the difference between one who consented to follow the counsel of the living prophet, and look up and live, and one who insists on denying the truth altogether.
That Prophet is alive forevermore, and presently sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. It is He who still by virtue of the Holy Spirit as revealed in His eternal Word, speaks to all mankind. His name is Jesus of Nazarath.
I hope and trust that you repent before it is too late. And I hope that your pride will not prevent it, and ensure your damnation. So many fall because of pride. I hope it is not your fate.
Likewise, you admit your pride, and the resulting sin of following a false prophet, repent, and find the Jesus who made our salvation certain, who gauranteed that the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church that has never ceased to exist throughout all history.
i have seen your posts on other threads that have nothing to do with religion. You are not a stupid man, you need only look to the true God.
