Like all Christian holidays/celebrations, Lent exists to help us focus our hearts of God (at least that's what it should be doing if you're doing it right). That is an admirable thing. For me this year: due to job situations, I'm doing without a lot of luxuries this spring. Which isn't a fast...

But that's not the definition of sola Bilia. To be sola Biblia means to ONLY use the Bible. No inclusion of God Himself, no inclusion of prayer, no inclusion historical/cultural context, no knowledge of what the cannon even should be. Sola Biblia is an idiotic idea that no Christian should...

I for one, am a firm believe that we should sing to God in our own voice. In my personal case, my voice is clinically tone deaf, but I'm still going to sing at the top of my lungs :) Maybe musical talent is a gift God will give out to everyone at the resurrection.

Upon through study of scripture and communion with God, I go where He instructs me to and where His truth is. I am going to be with 99.9999% certainty the you (like vast vast majority of folks) misunderstand LDS Christian views on the Godhead. This would be a great subject to talk about in...

But it is not his ONLY authority. He is not sola Biblia.

Agreed there. But such a person is still not sola Biblia.

I'm sorry, but I still need to be blunt here-- Yes, someone that tries to seize the throne of God. You're actively advocating worshipping and following sinners.

Mary: when YOU offer to be "my teacher", that is you saying "come worship me". NOOOOOOO!!!!! NEVER FOR ANY PERSON!! It SUCH a horrible downright satanic thing for any human to suggest. Stop trying to take the throne of God and instead get on your knees to worship Him.

I'm sorry, but I got to be blunt here: Mary: you do not belong on the throne of God.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Our eternal life is based around us knowing God. You+Him getting together, getting to know each other, and following Him.

Mary, you are advocating 1) violation of the first great commandment. 2) that the best way to reach eternal life is not to know God, but to violate the first commadment. And then you are prosylizing these ideas. Please stop. Please actually approach God and get to know HIM.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Mathew 37-38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

For me, picking a church should ALWAYS be about what's being taught and facilitating your relationship with God. The music quality/taste is not important at all. I've seem some people think "worship" is not synonymous with "rock concert", at is shouldn't be-- music is just one aspect of...

NO!!!! I follow GOD. Likewise with a vast majority of the posters here. A proper Christian life is about that person getting on their knees and having a relationship with GOD. A church's people should be servants of God which exist to aide you approaching God and having a relationship with...

I see it as being important because it's the entire background behind this thread (one group viewing the previous baptism as invalid).

Yes, but different churches may require you to be re-bapitzed because the initial one was considered invalid.

But each different church has requirements as to what a valid baptism consists of. Therefore, if your previous baptism was (in their eyes) invalid, they will require a valid baptism to be performed.

I'm going to respectfully disagree based on the following points: 1) The Bible he's holding in the first place is not defined sola Biblia, but rather by tradition. 2) Assuming he's a decent scholar, his studies including the historical and cultural context for which things were written. 3)...

I do think it's important to acknowledge the good that is in people of each denomination, even when there are disagreements on pretty important doctrinal points. Obviously I'm not Catholic or Protestant, but I will readily acknowledge that I have met many Catholics and Protestants whom are...

This is growing tiresome. I wasn't the one that cited Walter Martin as a reference, and he is the origin of these false claims. Not any LDS Christian doctrinal source. For some reason the "anti cult" cottage industry frequently can't be bothered to argue against actual beliefs or talk about...
