    Cults And Their Faults

    LDS Christians believe that salvation comes via faith in God. You can't earn it yourself-- that's a downright laughable absurdity. Real faith of course is not just shallowing saying "yeah, I believe" and then continuing to kiss Satan's feat same-old-same-old. Rather it's an entire change of...

    Cults And Their Faults

    A Christian believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That salvation comes via faith in Him, the Savior of the world. John 3:16. That is the pure and simple Gospel. Nothing else added to it, such as "well you also got to proclaim Sola Scriptura and ace this theology test." I believe...

    Cults And Their Faults

    Any person gets upset when another lies about them. All people deserve to be treated with respect and honesty- it doesn't matter if that person is Christian, Buddhist, atheist, etc. There's no qualifier on the Second Great Commandment. And the way you keep repeating these without thought is...

    Cults And Their Faults

    I literally just spent time correcting many of these misconceptions you pasted. I encourage you to think for yourself and listen rather, rather than copy paste falsehoods. You are a Christian-- you have zero need to misrepresent what others believe or deny their relationship with Christ.

    Cults And Their Faults

    If you want to disagree, then please disagree with actual beliefs and not these^ straw man copied from an "anti-cult" website. No one has needs of ^these spins, and there is nothing dangerous about getting facts straight. Actual beliefs, focusing with the most important ones: I already...

    Cults And Their Faults

    I'm going to be extremely direct here: you have repeatedly attack my faith in Christ, including in this post. I love the Son of God. I attend the church He call me to be, and will not be budging from this spot. Your accusations are false and deny John 3:16. I acknowledge & celebrate your...

    Cults And Their Faults

    No. I am a Christian. As is. I will not be abandoning my faith in Christ and where He leads me to be. A person is neither saved nor not saved based on the denominational label. Rather, a person is saved by faith in Jesus Christ- John 3:16. I believe that with every fiber of my being. I'm...

    Cults And Their Faults

    I try to be patient and kind with people, while also being direct and getting to the heart of the matter. Stepping away from talking about any CF users: I've been dealing with folks from Walter Martin's (& disciples) "anti-cult" for decades. Talking about one example relative I have: she was...

    Cults And Their Faults

    I am a Christian. For you or anyone else to deny that is for you to deny John 3:16-18. I'm not saying our beliefs on everything are identical- there are notable difference between denominations. But the core of any Christian is that love of the Savior, the Son of God, and faith in Him.

    Cults And Their Faults

    The core of ALL Christian beliefs (Baptists, Catholics, "Mormons", etc) is that Jesus is the Christ. The very Son of God. Salvation from sin comes via faith in Him. You cannot save yourself. We each love Christ, and strive to follow Him out of that love, repenting when the enviable misstep...

    Cults And Their Faults

    My vent about gatekeeping wasn’t directed at you- I apologize that that got miscommunicated. Not my attention at all! My comment was more directed at people whom throw the label “cult” and denying other folks relationship with Christ. That is gatekeeping.

    Cults And Their Faults

    Amigo, if you want to have a rational conversation and be accurate as to what I believe, then I totally welcome that conversation. If you’d rather just state you mind and end it, ok.

    Cults And Their Faults

    With all possible respect @Cassandra , your posts are much more resembles of Protestant saying of "what Mormons believe", versus actual LDS Christian beliefs. I don't care if someone disagrees with LDS Christian beliefs- that's totally your right. But it helps to disagree with actual beliefs...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    Actual "Mormon" here: Christ died on a cross. That's stated repeatedly very clearly in the Bible.

    Cults And Their Faults

    This is bunch of questions on different topics than the previous. Ok, I'll go through them. God is all-powerful and all-knowing. There wasn't any point where He said "oops, well Satan really pulled one over on me in the Garden, guess I'll have to come up with a Plan B now". No. He knew...

    Cults And Their Faults

    I'm naturally a screwed up sinner. I'm petty, lazy, prideful, etc. I sin - I rebel against God and do all sorts of nasty things. Christ, on the other hand, is the perfect Son of God. Divine. He lived a perfect life, without any blemish, and paid the price for MY sins. For MY stupidity and...

    Cults And Their Faults

    When you say "Mormons are cultist" and "all cultists are non-christian", you are judging my faith and denying my relationship with Christ. And statements like "Denying the divinity of Christ" is plainly wrong. I'm going to be very direct here: your website is misrepresenting things to you...

    Cults And Their Faults

    You're quoting an Protestant website here, and it's an inaccurate strawman. Would you like me to go through and explain actual LDS Christian beliefs here? And do not dimiss my relationship with Christ. He is the Son of God, my Savior and King. I am a saved Christian.

    Cults And Their Faults

    I find that a cult (cause they do exist) is defined by lots of manipluating/intimidating, encouraging others not to think, us-vs-them mindset, viciousness against those that have left, etc. It is a way of being rather than the actual ideas being taught, and they exist in faiths, politics...
