You're right. Harry, Moe and Curly just don't work. I'll try again...

COOMBIYAH

[Elsie]

Of course I believe it, I just believe what I understand, I cannot believe that which I do not understand.

Do you understand this??

Romans 3:20
"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin"

[Elsie]

CC - yours shows diversity...

DU - yours shows a monolithic group...

[Elsie]

The "all things in common" was practiced by the saints, and all that believed practiced together.

Once again; you are right.

Once again; it was not COMMANDED.

[Elsie]

Why do you think it happened so?

It doesn't really matter WHAT I 'think'; does it!?

[Elsie]

You are clinging onto a single reason that we pay tithing.

I did not see THIS listed in your 'reasons':

2 Corinthians 9:6-7
6. Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

[Elsie]

I believe that Christ himself set the example here in Matthew:

Matthew 19:21
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

This was to ONE man only; not to the world in general.

[sevenbak]

Once again; it was not COMMANDED.

Elsie, here’s a little bit of LDS doctrine to help you sleep better tonight.

D&C 58:
26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

[sevenbak]

Great verse. That falls under #3. perhaps you missed that one.

[Elsie]

For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things;

AhHA!!

So THIS must be why there is no COMMAND to do the things that are done in your Temples found in your scriptures!

Thank you!

I will be sleeping better tonight; since it's now 5 minutes into Wednesday.

Yow!

Why just this man and not us? What is so special about him? The scriptures, the life of Christ, His interactions among men are for all of us. Yes there are times when he is talking to his apostles only and not the general public, but this is a man who was not a current disciple of Christ, just an average rich Joe. Why is he getting a more difficult request from the Savior than the rest of us?

[Old Mountain man]

Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Looks like all kinds of threads are getting pulled. Canticle of Deborah was also banned for posting Fred videos.

But I would be interested in your comments on this if you do care to discuss them without changing the subject or other tactics.

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim, da do da do...

Did you read the conversation when Deborah got zapped? Looked to me like she messed around with JIM!

Start at #39

Don't play the victim card for HER!

[Elsie]

Why is he getting a more difficult request from the Savior than the rest of us?

Because he asked: "What do I need to do?"

---

The thief on the cross wasn't baptised, so, using your logic, none of us need to be baptised either.

Why is he getting a pass from the Savior and not the rest of us?
