You also have the right to believe as you wish. However, Jesus did say that the way to life is narrow, and few there be that find it; and that the opposite path, entered through the broad way, is the path to destruction. Matthew 7:13-14. You should also consider that Joseph Smith did not live...

If you say so...

I do not see the verses being dealt with in post #145. Some verses on hell speak specifically about burning in fire and brimstone...i.e. the eternal barbecue that you are adverse to in your thinking.

See Isaiah 55:10-11. Since my desire is that the word of the Lord accomplish whatever He desires for it to accomplish, I think that your statement will turn out to be untrue.

Subjective experience may or may not be based in reality...but if you are a born again Christian, you know that the reality that brings salvation is dictated by the word of the Lord, and that every person either believes or does not believe the reality that is dictated by the word of the Lord...

If I didn't believe that I was making a difference, I wouldn't continue. Of course every person who is within "earshot" of the doctrine that I preach has the right to either receive or reject it; to respond either with softened or with hardened hearts. The foundation is Jesus Christ and we...

He certainly didn't demand obedience or belief from people...He only made faith/belief in Him the prerequisite for entering into His kingdom...iow, He taught that if anyone does not place their faith in Him (to put it bluntly...) they will go to hell. See John 14:6, Matthew 7:13-14. Verses on...

Hell and the lake of fire. (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46, Revelation 14:9-11, Revelation 20:10, Revelation 20:15, etc.)

He has magnified His word above all His name (Psalms 138:2).

Personally, I have enough of a task understanding the many pages of the Bible...the way I figure it, I want to be an expert on the word before I start delving into anything called "another Testament of Jesus Christ". btw, doesn't "another Testament" = "another gospel"? See Galatians 1:6-9, 2...

So then, do you cut out of your Bibles (with scissors) the verses that speak of "an eternal barbecue"?

Like it isn't straight to become a bondservant of Jesus Christ...

I think I would be opposed to rings or pendants. Because I would prefer something tight to the body, that wouldn't get caught in something.

What does "saved" mean in Mormonism, since no one goes to hell in Mormonism?

Amen; and I am also open to having my opinions to be changed by what I read as God continues to alter my understanding slightly all of the time, while never causing me to depart from the truth as a Rock on which I stand, the Lord Jesus Christ...

However, what does make a Christian is an attitude of surrender to the doctrines of the Bible as you currently see them. As God gives you more understanding, you alter your opinion to fit what the Lord is showing you about Himself. But if at any time you begin to reject the word of God as you...

Jesus is alive to me; and so is my Bible when I read it.

@bbyrd009 is often too vague to be able to understand what he is saying; so more often than not, I just ignore him. What is it that you think he is saying by that? We are students of the same Bible; that may only be partially true; for I find that the kjv has distinguished differences in its...

Indeed this is true; while it would not be true of me if I refuse to admit the possibility that God's word is in error on any given point.

Whether I am on milk or solid food, the judgment of the Lord holds fast and is the same...understanding the judgment of God is the things of being weaned from the breast...basic doctrines!
