again you demonstrate your immaturity and penchant for telling lies. Is the church of Mormon part of the body of christ? Maybe you should find a good elementary school to attend.

church really just means congregation. If you're speaking about Christ's body, now that's something entirely different.

I suppose the point is that it isn't us. Scripture warns to make no judgment before the time (the time for judgment.) We don't know people's hearts, we can only make judgments about their actions. More significantly, it is God who changes our hearts and we have no way of knowing when He does so...

I followed your link, but I have a pretty good grip on the concept of God's Sovereignty and providence. These concepts are the only way to understand Romans 8:28-30, but free will isn't really a consideration until Christ sets us free.

The question was not do they, but how? The word good is derived from the word god. Goodness is defined by godliness. How do men born to a fallen nature do or have the will to do anything good? The basis of the New Covenant was described by God through the prophet Jeremiah hundreds of years...

Thank you for your blessings. I've found that over the last few years my emotions have become more powerful and bordering on the overwhelming, due in part to my age (and lowered testosterone levels). Self control is a desirable thing, but as we become weaker in the flesh the Lord is able to use...

And how do evil and sinful men at enmity with God do His will. Grow up child.

You quoted the verse before, but haven't explained where goodwill comes from in men who have been born to a sinful nature. "There is no one good but God. "

Peter wasn't rebuked for his feelings, but for trying to convince Jesus that He shouldn't do the Father's will. " You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. " If you've "grown" beyond that you have my sympathies.

I've already made my arguments from scripture and have to agree with God. It's his word that you're contradicting. E.G.: Romans 3:11, Luke 18:19, etc. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you're saying. How can a man, born to a sinful nature, have good will unless God gives him such a will...

No, and reflexes are built in. Maybe that's an indicator of a carnal response, but whenever someone sows to the flesh what will that person reap? Would you be offended if you saw a person spit on a cross? What if you witnesses an insult to your spouse or a child? How much more should you feel...

Sorry, wrong again, we don't come to God at all, He comes to us. That's what grace is all about. No one seeks God, but I can understand why you don't get it.

Nope, sorry, you're wrong. True repentance is the work of the Holy Spirit, always was, always will be. The cart doesn't go before the horse, repentance is the result of salvation, not the cause of it. See, I didn't even use caps or italics to say that you're wrong because I didn't want to give...

Maybe you're just a kid, but when I was forced to attend a Roman Catholic Church, the sign in front of it said "Saint Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church" as did every Roman Catholic Church I ever stepped into or saw on the street. The same was true of every Greek orthodox church or Russian...

I don't think I'm a knowledgeable Christian, never made that claim, never attended a seminary, never made an effort to learn a dead language, or earn a piece of paper declaring me a "doctor" of divinity, or any such vain thing. I only claim to know God and I knew Him as my friend long before I...

This is very good and true. I'm impressed.

Everything that we do that is not done according to God's will is sin, the question is whether or not we are held accountable for it. The first time a child says no to its parents' commands or in opposition to their will, that child has not only sinned, but broken one of the top ten (so to...

Thank you for proving that the RCC is a faction of the Catholic church (or there would be no reason for the RCC to self identity as the RCC).

So the scripture says that God is no respector of men, but you believe He makes special exceptions and put them in His word to confuse the truth?

I recommend that you read Matthew 28:18 and spend a little time considering the implications.
