2Co 11:3, But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2Co 11:4, For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have...

You may not be an emeny of Christ: but you are an enemy of Christ.

I fail to see your point. Is not a sword wielded by a warrior?

@Waiting on him, are you a son of the father of the Mormon Jesus? 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 is of utmost importance here.

Of course, anytime this is said, the person on the receiving end should deeply consider the words that are spoken.

Luke 8:13 is talking about someone with a mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel....even a lukewarm, nominal, or shallow faith. Whereas John 6:47 speaks of a faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10); which is unto everlasting life. Excellent.

The one who is born again will practice righteousness, because he is born again, not in order to obtain or maintain his salvation. Faith has maintaining power in a person's life, 1 Peter 1:5.

Of course. If anyone wants to correct me using the word, I am definitely open to that.

So, pray for me if you think that I am persecuting you. Because I am praying for you. The shepherd is always justified in attacking the wolf to defend the sheep from him/her. Call it self-justification if you so desire; but nevertheless it is a fact of reality. You are putting up a good...

I was also merely pointing out that Christ will destroy His enemies on the final day; and therefore your contention that Christ would never kill or attack anyone is false.

Nevertheless it is true when I say it. I know that I only have your best interests in mind.

I can imagine Christ saying with a peaceful tone, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

I know that I am not acting contrary to Christ's example; for He was abrasive at times. Did He not say to the Pharisees, You are of your father the devil?

There is not an ounce of hatred behind my words or demeanor.

Nope. you are judging; and you will be judged.

I also don't need to prove to anyone that I have been redeemed. That is not the reason why I testified. I did not testify of the work of the Holy Spirit so that people would think more highly of me. It is really between me and the Lord. Have you not heard that often, when a person comes to...

Isa 66:16, For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. Rev 19:15, And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the...

That's funny.

To which I respond with Isaiah 57:15, which tells me that the Lord is outside of time; and this explains Jeremiah 1:5 differently than what you are proposing. And since Mormonism is considered to be a cult, I think I will go with the more orthodox interpretation.
