    LDS Atonement

    We are saved because God sent His Son to shed His blood for the remission of our sins, not because we paid tithing, were sealed in a man-made building, kept the law of consecration, etc. We work because that is what God is doing in us. He has made us new creatures. Ephesians 2 1And you...

    LDS Atonement

    So if God tells me that there is a contradiction between the Bible teaching about the atonement and the LDS view of the atonement, is it[the contradiction] in my head because He put it there or is it there because I am not one of His sheep?

    LDS Atonement

    Do LDS believe that they have a special ability to read another person's mind/thoughts? If a person loves the Lord, reads his Bible, ponders what it says, asks God with a sincere heart if those things are true, will God( who gave that person faith) cause the individual to create something in...

    LDS Atonement

    Ummm....thank you for your defense. Let me say that I believe that a new creature is a work of God called regeneration/new birth. Titus 3 1Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2To speak evil of no man, to be no...

    Christians: God is Not Omnipotent

    As Free4all posted http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/780837-post7.html , God's omnipotence is NOT scripturally baseless. The problem is that men try to apply a different definition to omnipotence than the Bible does. The biblical defintion is the ability to do anything that a being sets out...

    LDS Atonement

    I agree, but the LDS view of the atonement is not what I read in my Bible. So if the Holy Spirit tells me that the Bible version is correct and the LDS version is incorrect, should I not obey God rather than men? I asked in the OP: This thread is about the LDS atonement not about the...

    Christians: God is Not Omnipotent

    Indeed! God's holiness prevents Him from lying, but does not diminish His power. "His counsel shall stand, and he will do all his pleasure" (Isaiah 46:10).

    Christians: God is Not Omnipotent

    He didn't test Job to learn what Job would would do. He did it as a lesson for Job. Our trials and tribulations have purpose. He didn't put people on earth for them to prove themselves to Him. He already knows what each person will do.

    LDS Atonement

    An honest agnostic doesn't need to judge between "thousands of conflicting Christianities." He needs to come to Christ. Jesus Christ is the truth. I doubt that Christian Pilgrim condemned anyone. It is sin that separates man from God. Following a "Christianity" does not save anyone. Only...

    LDS Atonement

    My attention deficit takes over when I try to read your posts. For all your education, you seem to have difficulty using a computer. There is no poster named "me" or "not me." You're making communication difficult to say the least. Oft times it boils down to passion over substance...

    LDS Atonement

    No, chaos and confusion has always existed. That was one of the reasons for the First Council of Nicea to combat Arianism. Acts 26 17Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the...

    Christians - Sin

    If Satan tempts us by putting an evil thought in our minds, we are are to resist him and he will flee. We can rebuke the evil thought. If we relish the thought, we are giving in to Satan. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.(James 4:7) We can...

    LDS Atonement

    A bold claim: The overall pattern is to read—remember—ponder—pray in sincerity and faith. None of these steps may be left out. If the individual has not read the Book of Mormon, and more importantly, remembered the Lord’s mercy throughout the ages, they have no promise. For many Christians...

    LDS Atonement

    The exact same thing can be said for LDS. 4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will...

    LDS Atonement

    There were no "deacons" and "teachers" in the Aaronic priesthood. Not in my New Testament. In my mind and in the New Testament.

    LDS Atonement

    So you are saying, Katzpur, that John the Baptist conferred the Aaronic priesthood on Joseph Smith, then Oliver Cowdery baptized him, then Oliver Cowdery ordained him to the priesthood that John the Baptist had already conferred on him? That's a very interesting procedure. The Aaronic...

    Hey - what about the Amish?

    The Amish splintered from the Mennonites originally. Now the Amish sometimes leave and join the Mennonites.

    LDS Atonement

    Authority from God goes to each believer. Christ is the head of that authority. We are under him. If we claim to be Christians, but are not, then we have no authority and have not been made sons(children) of God. If we are His children, we also have a royal priesthood, the priesthood of...

    LDS Atonement

    Obedience is something that grows. But all Christians receive the same blessings: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; (Ephesians 1:3)

    LDS Atonement

    It is in the NT that we read about the New Birth and being redeemed by Christ. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us..." "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus...
