    Why I Hate, Hate, Hate Religion!

    No one killed Jesus. He laid down His life for the sheep. John 10 17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This...

    LDS Atonement

    Thank you. According to the Doctrine and Covenants, Section 58, trying to do better is not the same as repentance. Repentance is the confessing and forsaking of sin. But maybe the Doctrine and Covenants means nothing to you. There were many ancients and some were heretics. You and I do...

    LDS Atonement

    You can think whatever you want. I only read your posts when I'm not logged in because you are on my ignore list. If I miss some of your posts, so be it. This thread isn't about Protestants. It's about the LDS atonement and to my knowledge you haven't contributed much.

    LDS Atonement

    [/FONT] The name is Aletheia. Why that is anymore difficult than Orontes, I do not know. [FONT=Arial] He needs to be the recipient of God's grace. At the moment of regeneration, I am sure he becomes aware of many things and especially his own sinfulness. For Christ also hath once...

    LDS Atonement

    Beats me! You can dub it anything you like. I don't have to answer to God for your actions. To debate the validity of the Bible though, you need to start another thread. I believe that God shows mercy on whom he will. But what I believe doesn't tell me or anyone else if my understanding...

    LDS Atonement

    Will the man be forgiven if the person that he stole from died? Has he forsaken that sin or not? What if he took away his wife's virginity before they were married? How does he give it back to her? How does he get forgiveness? What if he lied to his mother? How does he undo the lie if she...

    LDS Atonement

    Some sins are larger than others? The only unforgivable sin is blashpemey against the Holy Ghost. Which sins are considered larger than others to LDS? Does the candidate for baptism only have to repent of some sins? Which sins must he forsake ----only the larger ones? Must he give up his...

    LDS Atonement

    No, God saves sinners and brings them to a godly sorrow for their sins. God makes us new creatures and begins the work of sanctification when he regenerates us. The Bible does not say, "You will ultimately be forgiven or eventually be forgiven." It says to forgive one another just as God for...

    LDS Atonement

    Grace is free. Repentance and obedience happen because God is working in that person's heart. 1 Corinthians 15 10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God...

    LDS Atonement

    And what commandments do LDS teach that are not possible for LDS to obey or to keep perfectly? “And again, every person who belongeth to this church of Christ, shall observe to keep all the commandments and covenants of the church.” (D&C 42:78) “If God had commanded me to...

    LDS Atonement

    Definition of Repentance according to: To give up by formal announcement? Or to reject? Or does it mean as the D&C states, to forsake one's sins? Doctrine and Covenants 58 42 Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. 43 By...

    LDS Atonement

    That's not true, Watchmen. I questioned that word because it made no sense and no one bothered to explain how you "do a blessing." I couldn't even figure out what word might have fit better than "done."

    LDS Atonement

    Of course, I quote LDS leaders' understanding of LDS scripture! Their interpretations are being taught at every annual and semi-annual conference. And no LDS person has shown by use of LDS scripture that their leaders are mistaken in their interpretation. I have asked for LDS to show me where my...

    LDS Atonement

    Clear, do LDS consider non-canonical writings to have the same authority over them as scripture does? You are presenting non-canonical writings as if the they, too, are scripture. My appeal is to scripture rather than extra-biblical writings. Scripture says that apart from God's working in an...

    LDS Atonement

    LDS, how many sins does a person need to forsake for baptism and how many for eternal life with Heavenly Father? Is repentance the forsaking of some sins, several sins, or all sins?

    John 17 1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. If God gives me to...

    LDS Atonement

    Your post is off topic. It isn't man's work that brings someone to Christ. It is a change of heart. Faith is a gift of God. Ephesians 2 1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the...

    LDS Atonement

    Staying married to the one you loved on your wedding day doesn't grant salvation. But I've been faithful to the one I love since my wedding day. I believe in marriage between a man and woman and I love all my descendants very much. :yes:

    LDS Atonement

    I have said and will continue to say that one must come to Christ. Jesus saves the one who comes to Him. What does God do for the sheep? He forgives them, He chastises them, He leads them, He feeds them, He guides them, He empowers them, He sanctifies them, He glorifies them. God saves sinners...
