    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Well. That was as great a display of righteous indignation if ever I saw one. Yet it still didn't actually address the issue I was trying to dial into. Maybe my writing skills ain't as good as I imagine and you simply don't get where I'm coming from. That's alright. Making you angry wasn't a...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Why are you offended that anyone should ask such questions considering your church asserts that the LDS is the one true church on the face of the earth. Joseph Smith claimed Jesus Christ told him to join none of the existing denominations because “they were all wrong . . . that all their creeds...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Actually what you showed previously not long above, regarding the personal planet rule etc, was that you don't think about them.

    Israel? Or the church?

    Pagan Rome was a problem, and Jerusalem appealed to them to subdue the church in instances where Jerusalem had no power. a few centuries later, Papal Rome inherited the throne of the Caesars, took upon itself civil power in Rome, and through political means and superstitious fear coerced other...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Because you said, suggesting that in the following, that the law only applies to the Jews, yet all Christians profess to have Christ abiding within, the embodiment of the law. The futurist position wherein they link Daniel to Christ's statement regarding the Sabbath in Matthew and concluding...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Those "anti-cult" resources on many occasions were quotes taken from LDS material. After all, if not taken from LDS material, then the alternative is that they were made up. In other words, you are suggesting that the secret mysterious underwear, the oaths, the doctrines pertaining to a sexual...

    Israel? Or the church?

    Patience my friend. All shall be revealed, for I don't venture forth into such delicate territories without first having a reasoned and Biblically and historically sound justification for doing so. Post #51 above is the introduction, with more to come.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    But if you are grafted into the same root as Israel, are you not then Israel? Is that covenant not then with you as well as all other Gentiles and Jews who come to Christ? Isn't Christ the root? Have yo not Christ dwelling within your heart, the embodiment of the law? Is not the gospel the same...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Okay. First, my reference to Matthew 6:13 wasn't intended to suggest that 'deliver' from evil was an alternative rendering or understanding of either Isaiah or Paul's use of the word, but simply to point out that the same word can be used in different texts having different nuances each time...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. Since its inception, the LDS church has been challenged many times to justify its beliefs. You come to our homes door...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    We are discussing theology. Not once have I ever demanded you are with my understanding of the issue. But I believe I am correct in that I worship the true Jesus. I believe I am also correct that if anyone is worshiping a different Jesus, they're in trouble. Now you should be saying the very...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Oh? You think God don't rescue us or protect us from the coming death sentence that is too be passed upon all the dissenters to Babylon's ultimatum? KJV Revelation 13:15-17 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    You have said a lot there, and I agree with all of it except the first part where you synthesize the two very different concepts of create and begotten.
  14. Brakelite

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    You are correct. It isn't about what you know concerning theology. It's about who you know.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Interesting point. The same word was used in Matthew 6:13. I can quite understand how Christ can be our Redeemer through the Atonement, but I see Him as our Deliverer at the end, rescuing His bride from the surrounding nations bent on her destruction.

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    About the only thing you got right is that the Kingdom of God is not of this world. You placed it in the future as something not yet established, yet Jesus said to His disciples, the Kingdom of God is within you.

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Ummm, excuse me, but doesn't the Watchtower and Russel's NWT state that the word, Jesus, is a God? Does not the NWT place the article a into the text where the Greek has no such article? What kind of God is Jesus then to you?

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Historicism as far as I am aware, has no concrete position on this because it hasn't taken place yet. Historicists have a sure and certain basis for their hermeneutic regards prophecy...we use scriptures such as Mark 13:29; Luke 21:28,31; John 13:19; John 14:29. We can be certain about history...

    Israel? Or the church?

    I would like to clarify a couple of things about the meaning of ‘Antichrist’. Before we look at the antichrist, I want to look at the real Christ. Who is He? Let us go to the scriptures to find out what and Who He claimed to be. Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater...
