Not quite. It has been a prayer of mine from the beginning of my Christian walk that the Lord would produce in me three basic qualities...humility, wisdom, and love...and I don't believe that He failed to answer that prayer. What you call pride, I call faith...even confidence in the One who...

The Greek word pascha, in modern koine Greek, is indeed used to refer to Easter in today's world. I'll take Jesus' words over yours. It is clear to me that the Pharisees and scribes understood that He was claiming to be God, when they picked up stones to stone Him (twice)...the second time...

You are being condescending.

It does say it...basically in Romans 4:7. It is not mere covering; but mighty forgiveness (and justification)! The taking away of our sins is sanctification...the fulness of which is a second benefit (2 Corinthians 1:15).

Of course. I am not ashamed to stand up and be counted for my Lord. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation unto everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and then to the Gentile (and then to the ex-mormon).

Don't even go there...you are accusing me of pride. I'm certain that there are other Bible teachers out there who will preach the truth to you...but in these days they are far and few between.

Assuming you have the Holy Spirit that is preached by the Bible rather than the anointing that mormonism might give you...stinky, synthetic oil.

Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The mormon gospel, if it is biblical Christianity, was...

At the risk of breaking the apparent rules, I think that many of these are mormons rather than Christians. I answered a direct question the only way I could there.

And it is also for yours.

I'm aware of that, very much so. Anything that I utilize the sword concerning others is something that has done the surgery on me first. And if it hasn't...well, I do know that it has the capacity to work on my own heart. I do not suppose that the word of the Lord is not for me as well as the...

Although...if you walk into a church you are more likely to receive Christ as Saviour, thereby becoming a Christian.

And what point is that? Does your question somehow nullify the mandate in that verse to not forsake the assembly? Do what you want...going to church doesn't make anyone a Christian anymore than walking into a McDonald's makes someone a hamburger.

Most definitely.

I must have missed it...what does your question have to do with the point I was trying to make?

They're the ones with the mantra of "God hates fags." They validate their position using Psalms 5:5...not realizing that they are also condemned by the same verse since they themselves are working iniquity in spewing hate against people whom God loves and wants to reach with the truth of the...

Apparently the Westboro Baptist Church preaches the truth but without an iota of love for the people it is trying to reach.

Besides the point (and I am also no sprout). The point is that we are not to forsake the assembly.

Hey...the Lord is my judge...and yours...and I say to you truly that I don't fear being cast into the lake of fire over being a liar. And I also believe the following: Revelation 21:8 says that all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire.

But you assume that everyone who uses scripture effectively are haters like the Westboro mob. And the Westboro mob does have a point...even if they don't speak the truth in love, at least they are speaking the truth. It is of salvation to have the word of God be near you, in your mouth and in...
