    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    What I am saying is what I have seen. Am I wrong? You have said nothing to correct my conclusion if it is wrong. If your purpose is not to tear down what you believe to be a deceptive cult, what is your purpose in this thread? Your purpose, good or bad, is your agenda. Everyone has one...

    Should women teach the bible?

    Sorry if I misstated this. God gives a surrendered vessel the Word to speak.

    Buying and selling in the last days

    Your spirit on this is wrong my friend, even if God did call you to address the issue. Those who are condemned because of their ways are condemned already. No need to mention it repeatedly. Look rather to hopefully help those among them who still have a hope: Some who would be among the few...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    No, yours are as you were not a member of the LDS with personal experience one way or the other. You can believe what she wrote but even if every word was true, how would you or any of it know better than another Mormon? Do you want to say that @Jane_Doe22 is ignorant of her own church or that...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    No, I am not missing that another person wrote a book which you are discussing. That person is not on this forum. You say she is a meek soul and never having met her nor read anything she wrote, I have no reason to doubt it. That also does not change what your agenda is... to tear down the...

    Buying and selling in the last days

    Still generalizing. There is a wide gate where likely many are, but there are also the few: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    According to you it is deception. According to me, everyone on this forum who has not already completely overcome the world as Jesus overcame the world is deceived still in a measure. Who is able to determine the extent of that measure but God Himself? I don't know of a single person on this...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I am talking about the whole thread once you became aware that there was a person here directly affected by your opinions. Were they more than opinions? What do you know of her heart? I know that people here on this forum are often calloused to such things and will argue that this is a forum...

    Help

    @Nancy Those lowest of valleys come to each one walks with God. It is part of our walk. There are roses for sure, but anyone familiar with roses knows that they are surrounded by thorns. But remember the thorn of the Apostle Paul: "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the...

    Should women teach the bible?

    Of course this moves off on another tangent or at least raises another question since the phrase "local church" is not identified so easily in the written scriptures, is it? How does one distinguish between a "local church" and an Internet forum such this one. Does the following verse apply to...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    But it was certainly meant to expose what you considered the errors of Mormons in general without regard to the negative fall-out sent against people like @Jane_Doe22 who is, from what I am able to see, one of the better followers of Christ on this forum without regard to affiliation. What have...

    God Is Love

    @soul man But as the OP states the Holy Spirit is "the revealer of everything". That is to say, "the interpreter": "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." I Cor 14:28 "I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather...

    The obedience test for Jesus’ sign of commitment

    For the moment, applies certainly to many, but how many persevere in obedience and enduring to the end? "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Gal 6:9

    Should women teach the bible?

    A great many years ago, 1976 to be more precise, my wife and I were called by God to a certain meeting in a little assembly in El Sobrante, CA. The pastor, a male, was not preaching, but rather two very anointed young female evangelists. They had the Word of God. My wife and I received the Lord...

    Buying and selling in the last days

    Lots of people, in my experience, are as you say, lazy and uninformed, apparently without good cause. Still having said that, I am very slow to point at individuals because I am really, most of the time, unable to see what is in their hearts. I say, most of the time, because sometimes God does...

    Buying and selling in the last days

    But how smart a person is, has nothing to do with his ability to serve God. Serving God requires not his IQ or even the amount of his education in the scriptures, but in his willingness to actually surrender to God. Saul/Paul was a smart, well educated man but he was without understanding... "I...

    Buying and selling in the last days

    What you said is almost correct, but that is not much help to the one who is lost. As many people have heard, 'almost' only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The real choice that makes a difference is between God and mammon. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    There is no difference between what men are when they are born again [born from above] than men were prior to disobeying God that first time. What happened the first time is that Adam and Eve cut themselves and their offspring off from access to that other Tree in the Garden, the Tree of Life...

    Should women teach the bible?

    Even so... As the natural woman is to receive the natural seed of the man to bear natural children, so is the spiritual woman to receive the spiritual seed of man to bear spiritual children. But who is the spiritual womand and who is the spiritual man? Consider Paul's written words: "There is...
