I believe he is on the right track. I also hold to the Rapture and Tribulation period, which is not popular today. And as for the love waxing cold as said in (Matt. 24:12), I agree. And those believers alive during the Tribulation, will experience the hate and anger of a people who are void...

As I said, the kingdom of heaven in the book of (Matthew) speaks to the millennium. And the millennium is not heaven. Yes, those at the beginning of the millennium are saved. The saved of Israel, and the saved of the nations. Those in the millennium will still have sin in themselves. Thus...

Good ideas, and glad to hear it went well. Don't worry about 'confidence'. God does not require you to be successful, just faithful. Just go with your desire and trust Him. Stranger

You asked about the 'righteousness' necessary and I explained that it was by faith just as Abraham received it. (Gen. 15:6) is clear that Abraham had righteousness imputed to him. As for the other promises that were given in (Gen. 12:1), yes that is for a future day. But Abraham was...

It is no different than Israel under the Law of Moses. The Law was perfect, holy, and good. But the righteousness that it described was unattainable by the individual Israelite. But no problem, as righteousness has always been only obtained by faith. Just like Abraham obtained it. An...

Without a doubt, God knows our heart in the matter whether we err by mistake or are erring intentionally, knowing what we are believing or teaching is contrary to God and Scripture. And God's punishment or discipline will certainly be based on what He knows. The Church must have a standard of...

Well, yes, but that is not the point. Christ did not tell them that here. Stranger

So for 1800 years, the Church never learned anything in the Bible? "Line upon line, precept upon precept" (Is. 28:10) Stranger

Myself. Stranger

Could you repeat that. I couldn't hear you for all the bells ringing. Stranger

Yes. The questions she wants you to ask, are not the ones being asked. Stranger

The Roman Church's origin is solidly Christian. Turn to the book of Romans in the Bible. It's in the New Testament. Stranger

Just keep in mind, Jane by her own admission knows the doctrine of Mormonism and is still a Mormon. And Jane is being deceptive in answering questions. And, keep in mind that Christianity has rejected Mormonism as part of Christianity and has labeled it an occult. Thus if this is an error on...

Yes, I am honestly interested in your answers and what you believe. But you know that Christianity has rejected Mormonism as Christian and has labeled it as an occult. I believe you are informed and can answer the 'why' to that, which I have asked. I believe that if you are true to your...

That is too fine a line to draw to me. It all depends on what is being discussed of course. One can have an opinon of something in the Scripture that is not written in stone, such as the Gap theory. Whether one speculates on that is immaterial. It doesn't make one a heretic one way or the...

It doesn't matter what I think. (Matt. 5:6) says nothing about how to be filled with righteousness. You have to read that into the text. Which you do when you go to the book of (John) . As I said...different emphasis. Entering the kingdom of heaven depends on a righteousness that exceeds...

As ByGrace said, the forum is the place for the discussion. You have said you are very experienced in answering questions about Mormonism, as I knew you were. And yet you disregard the questions I have asked in post #30. You only tell me there are misconceptions. Yet, you, as...

(Matt. 5:6) says nothing about how one is filled with righteousness. That is why you have to go to the book of (John). (Matt. 5-7) is all about law. See (5:19). "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments....but whosoever shall do and teach them,....." Also (5:27-28)...

You ignore the conditions of the millennial rule and those of now. The blessings or 'beattitudes' in (Matt. 5:3-11) can be descriptive of believers at any time. But Jesus is giving them in (Matt. 5-7) with the millennial kingdom in view. Also called in (Matthew) 'the kingdom of heaven'...

I wouldn't say 'all' of any group you listed are Christians. But you do list groups of the Christian faith. As to the Mormon church being 'Christian' is the question. That you want to identify it as Christian, yes I can see that. But I and Christianity have rejected that based on Mormon's...
