    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    Once again, doesn't remotely address the question.

    That's not remotely addressing the question posed to you.

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    Thank you for sharing your perspective. Though, I must admit my morning-fogged brain is having a hard time condensing everything you wrote here down. Do you believe in OSAS? (Sorry for being morning-fogged). Christ's gifts reside with Him, cause they are an extension of Him. If you leave...

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    Not remotely a fear of mine. In fact, it doesn't even cross my mind. I know the state of my heart. And that's not a day-to-day thing. Believing is doing something. In fact, it's everything.

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    My apologies if I came off as snappy before (my post sounds that way to me now). Such was not my intention, and I apologize for it. My perspective: If a person choose to walk away from Christ, they are also walking away from His gifts. Such is their choice, Christ doesn't force them to stay...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    Honestly, I don't find to 1 Corinthians 7:14 and Psalms 51:5 alone to concretely put this issue bed, and find that using the Bible alone, the pro-infant baptism standpoint has just as valid of an argument. Using the Bible alone it really comes down to one man's interpretation versus another and...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    Thanks for sharing your perspective, I honestly enjoy hearing it. For my perspective: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all tell the same story, but with emphasis different places, and the net result is a more fuller picture. For example, Luke gives us details about Christ's birth simply not in the...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    I can't change your interpretations of some verses / perspective on things, and I don't have any interest in doing so. As to my perspective: after decades of study/prayer/asking I do not find this to be the case. The Book of Mormon teaches about Jesus Christ, the Son of God & Savior of the...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    The reasoning behind your question is flawed. You presume that because God speaks one word He cannot speak another or another is not needed. By that logic, the books of Mark, Luke, and John should be discarded because we already have Matthew. I do not think that the books of Mark, Luke, and...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    Those posts acknowledge that the words of an infinite God don't fit into a single human book or a single human language. THat's very different than saying "the path is broad". There's only one path to God, and it's narrow. But the words of rejoicing therein and the Truths therein are many...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    Nonsense. I don't remotely believe that.

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    You didn't answer my previous question: why do you ned the books of Mark, Luke, and John if you already have Matthew? These questions are silly. ALL of God's words work together and teach us. Yes they are teaching the same message: the Good News. But all with different angles, backgrounds...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    I don't remotely believe in salvation by works- that's an anti-Mormon myth. One so common I actually addressed in one the very first page of this thread. My faith is entirely about Christ and He's the one that does the saving. You can't save yourself. You got to accept Christ. And yes...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    And why do you think God can't speak to the entire world to clarify His meaning? We've all seen at the many different interpretations of the Bible just on this forum. How about instead of flawed men writing statements to help us understand things, a loving perfect God do so?

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    To be frank: in all my travels in dozens of different churches, I've never met a Christian who was truly sola Biblia. I find a lot that claim that, but then also accept the Creeds, other traditions, various teaches (example: Calvin), etc as being authoritative. Not saying that this is...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    And then God was.....? Why would a loving God stop talking to His children? Why would He abandon His people in that way? You don't have to answer those questions. But to me, the idea of a closed canon raises those very questions and more.

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    I guess there is a difference of words being used here. For me, I wake up in the morning and tell my husband "I love you so much. You are wonderful and I'm yours." I'm renewing my love and commitment to him. Likewise I pray and commune my love with God. I don't play the games of "who that...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    (Again, just explaining my beliefs, not trying to get anyone to change theirs) God doesn't stop love nor stop talking to His children. Revelation, scripture, prophesy, etc continue to flow. That doesn't stop with 66/81/72/etc books in the Bible. It's not a number of times. It's continually...

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all teach the same Good News. Why bother reading all four of those books when they all teach the same message?

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    And love and commitment should be continually renewed in any relationship, especially the most important one with God. When I pray, I once again tell God I love Him and remember/renew my devotion to Him. God is not a jailer: you have the option of walking away. And some people do. We've all...
