    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    No contradiction on my part sir. I accept the Church that Jesus started which has the authority given to it by Jesus in Matthew 18:17-18 and is the pillar and foundation of truth....Just like Scripture says. You reject the teachings of Scripture and accept YOU as authority. If it is not The...

    Thank you Amadeus. Unlike you I am not in search for more of His Truth. I have found the Truth in the Church which is the pillar and foundation of Truth and has the authority to decide who is to be treated as a pagan or tax collector.....just like Scripture says. Mary

    I was not hinting that you stood in favor of OSAS.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Thank you. You HONESTLY believe that EVERY Christian has the Holy Spirit teaching them in all things and that the Spirit will bring to EVERY Christian into remembrance of all that He said? (ref John 14:26) YOUR interpretation of that passage is that Jesus really meant EVERY CHRISTIAN from...

    Hi, Do you think the elders of the Branch Davidians and Westboro Baptist Church and United Methodist Church and many other church elders of different churches have done His will? Curious Mary

    Hi Amadeus, Yes! We should "pay attention to the way he did things and to the ways he suggested or commanded or provided"! In that passage you referenced (Luke 12:13-14) Jesus was telling the person that he is not a judge of civil affairs. If you look at the next verse (vs15) He says, “Take...

    Thank you. To answer your questions I will quote Scripture: On this rock, I will build My Church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.... If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be...

    Hey farouk, If her interpretation of Gods word on how one is saved is different then your interpretation.....is she still in a "good basic position"? Or would she have the wrong interpretation? Curious Mary

    If not the men of the CC are not part of the living church then which men of which Church are? The man in the church of Enoch? What is a living church enoch? The Spirit guided and inspired the MEN of the Church at Jerusalem. So which men of which Church does the Spirit inspire and guide...

    Should women teach the bible?

    Are you part of the group that is further from the truth? Or are you closer to the truth then everyone else? Curious Mary

    Which word? There are almost 200,000 of them in the NT alone. And they all need interpretation. ;)

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Nice dodge... The Church at Jerusalem had the living Apostles decide what all Christians must believe at the Council of Jerusalem. So what is our choice here? Raise the Apostles from the dead to decide for us or rely on the living Church that is the pillar and foundation of truth to decide...

    Hi Helen, I can't find that passage ("Put not your confidences in man.") Are you talking about Psalm 146:3? If so, it doesn't say that! Which man (or woman) do you put your confidence in to properly interpret Scripture? YOURSELF? And it is still a question you CAN'T or haven't answered...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Thank you Amadeus. If it were so simple as to just "believe" or have "faith" in Him, like the centurion, then why are there almost 200,000 words in the NT? Believing or having faith is the first step. I suspect the Roman Centurion took a few more steps toward his belief/faith AFTER that...

    Thank you for this opportunity to study Scripture with you. Notice how John 8 starts out by saying that all the people came to him. That means there was a mix of believers and non believers in the crowd; not just Jews. In the John 8: 31-32 passage Jesus spoke DIRECTLY to the Jews when he...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Do you believe that John 14:26 applies to you and every Christian?? That EVERY Christian would be taught by the Spirit? If you believe that 14:26 is directed at ALL Christians then all of us can say that the Spirit brought us to the Truth. What would be our evidence of this? What is your...

    Hi Amadeus. How was your Christmas? Jesus also said If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Anytime someone gives (writes) their interpretation of His word and how to continue in his word then YES it is their...
