...And? Did you read my comment on Genesis?

I'd advise STRONGLY against this one, as it's full of Satan style half-truth. No Christian, no matter their denomination, needs that.

Well that's an open ended question! I'll just span a bunch of favorite verses: 1 Nephi 9:6. “But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his...

I believe that your interpretation of "religion = no need for Christ" is incorrect. The old Law of Moses is done away with (ritual sacrifice, etc), which is what Ephesians 2:15 is referring to. Instead we offer up our hearts in the New Covenant. And even when a person does their very...

Read the Bible and keep following what the Son of God Himself says to do: John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will...

@dev553344, how are you today? Normally I like your posts, but the ones today are very different-- inaccurate and hostile. This isn't like you, are you alright?

I believe in Jesus. That belief and love of Him compels me to practice my faith/religion. He did say “if you love me, keep my commandments”. I’m not doing this to “earn” anything (that’s laughable), but because of love & belief.

If I was to rely only on the scientific method to learn things, I would toss all Abrahamic faiths into the trash due to how anti-scientific a hyper-literal reading of the Bible is (Genesis alone is terrible). Thankfully, the scientific method is only one of many ways of learning things. I...

Cassandra, would you study out of the Jehovah Witness translation of the Bible? Yes or no. Do you think having a high quality Bible translation is important?

Yes, and left 50+ years ago, if I recall correctly. Please correct me if I'm misremembering. Junk translations are junk. Would you go for the Jehovah Witness translation? I wouldn't-- I love the Bible way too much to accept such a distorted and biased mockery. Instead, stick with more...

Amen and Anytime brother!

Thank you. Much more New Covenant. Very focused on Christ and having faith in Him.

“The Book of Mormon “ is a big deal for us. It follows a family of Jews that left Jerusalem and moved to the Americas, and then their family for the next 1000 years. It’s very focused on Christ, climaxing in His visit to the the Americas after His resurrection. “Doctrine and Covenants” is...

The “Mormon Bible” is the KJV. I also really like the poetic old fashioned language, though totally understand that it trips other people up. No problem with other translations. Other books of scripture include the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine & Covenants. Plus the door...

I’m totally happy to share! I got lots of friends in other denominations too- hubby is a Baptist, my best friends are Calvery Chapel and Methodist, etc. FLDS are a very different bunch than mainstream LDS Christians and I feel way closer to Methodists than FLDS. Differences included...

In short, Joseph Smith is regarded as a servant of God, a prophet. That doesn’t mean he was perfect- cause he was a sinner too. I am an LDS Christian not because of Joseph Smith or Peter or Moses or any other man. But rather because of Christ, He is my King and I follow Him.

This book is grossly inaccurate. Both because it’s terribly out of date, and deeply baised to be frankly incorrect. I posted the actual current LDS Christian handbook above, freely available to all. If anyone has any questions I’m also totally game answering.

Everyone sins every day. Doesn’t matter who you are. As for declaring “you are saved”— that’s ultimately Christ’s job, not your or mine. I take someone at their word, though some people’s fruits do cause me to be skeptical about their claims. Christ, whom knows all, will say authoritively who...

Yes, God is merciful. Though it is more difficult for someone who’s rejected things before to accept, due to hardness of heart.
