Hi lava!
Jesus said before he died ''forgive them father for they know not what they have done''
Ignorance is bad. We need forgiveness for being ignorant.
HEHHE.....god's ways are strange indeed.
You have been praying for the HS and you feel you have not received him. We can quickly determine whether you have or have not.
When you sin, do you feel remorse, does it affect your conscience? Are you able to repent?

I agree. God gives the sword to the emporor to rule the people in a social setting. The emporor never has higher authority than god, and if he so wishes to ignore god in making policy then god removes the sword, and that goverment acts on its own. We are not told to obey illigitimate goverments...
Well you see, what has gotten into me is this: We christians, which you call yourself one as well, believe that the bible reveals god's character. But you simply pass over the scriptures you dont like and say 'i believe something else'. - point to mormon book or something else.
I think the...
Bush just said that so that the christians would support him. Had to say 'god' was behind it.
Funny how barack got all cosy with rick warren before the election, for voting purposes, and afterwards he declared the USA to not be a christian nation, and he kinda has gone against his 'religious'...
Beware the fury of a patient God. Jesus has prayers that have not been answered 2000 years after the fact. But it will be. Yes god gets what he wants. The moment god wills something it is. If god looks at something red and calls it blue, it will turn blue, or red will be blue from then on end...
So you consider yourself to be a christian then? Cause in the other thread you asked me not to interpret your faith for you.....seems like you didnt identify yourself as a christian. But you are free to come back and post how the LDS church does not agree with the gospel.

Unless god knows you (have elected you) you are going to be sent away, nomatter how much he loves us all 'unconditionally'.
Matthew 7:22
. 22Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I...
You talking about the tithes that abraham gave to melchizedek?
And about matthew 23:23:
Matthe23: 23"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice...
Its gods kindness towards us, that leads us to repentance.
In the book of revelation when the wrath of god is poured out on the earth, the bible indicates that no man repented.
Its only the kindness of god that can lead to repentance, not the wrath of god.
So why dont man repent...
There are so many versions of 'christ' religions out there, its like walking through a minefield at times. But which religion has its roots in grace and which have their roots in 'something else'? Which religions have made themselves laws and must obey them at the expense of obeying christ? Here...
Yes its not very popular. The offense that people have in election is that they feel that god should not elect and that when he does he should elect everybody. And we are all elected for some reason or another. Some are elected to show forth the glory of god's grace, others are elected to show...
