I’ve been studying up on mormonism since I encountered these two mormon missionaries up in NH last year, but the whole “Mitt Romney” thing has repeaked my interest; needless to say (I want all Mormon Freepers to hear me): I don’t disrespect you, not do I have anything against you: but the more I study your religion the more I come to the conclusion that it s false (once again not attacking you personally);

“faith without works is dead”..yet God’s grace is the only thing that gives us salvation through Jesus sacrifice for your sins..He didn’t say you have to earn your salvation, nor did He ever imply that men become “gods”. He is three in one, and the author and finisher of our faith..I don’t need to do anything to earn his grace or forgiveness..It has ALL been done by Christ on the Cross! Finished..Forever..God has saved me..not me (and Christ)..I can NEVER earn salvation or be good enough! Feel Free to Freepmail me if you want to discuss further, I will be happy to oblidge. My only care is for your salvation.

Even Satan believes. The only thing that may differentiate you from Satan is your works.

I don’t give a big fat rat what “religion” someone belongs or doesn’t belong to for that matter. I care more that our leaders understand our Constitution and the Bill of Rights and adhere to their strict interpretation and that they understand what sovereignty means.

You don't have a clue about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the depth and soundness of its beliefs. You really don't.

For the best statement of the core belief of the Church see Matthew 16:16 when Peter responds to questioning by the Master with these words: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." That word "living" implies all that you are prone to attach about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Christ does live, his Father lives. Christ prayed to his Father in John 17, not to himself. And in that prayer Christ prayed that we believers would be one, just as He is one with his Father. If He is one with the Father, the same as He wants us to be one with him, your pagan Nicean belief of 3 in one cannot be true.

And yes, Christ worked out the perfect atonement in Gethsemane and on the cross. No question. Moreover, there is no question that all must repent and come unto Christ and that we are made pure by the working of his atonement in our lives.

Moreover, there is no doubt He wants all of us to enjoy the fruits of His atonement. That's why he restored the full truth of his gospel in these latter days, and why He continues to guide his affairs on earth through living prophets. Because He loves you and all humankind. Cheers.
