May I point out that most Christian believers 'know' that Jesus had blonde hair and blue eyes.
Christian believers have a lot of 'made up stuff' in their 'religions' as well.
Those details are not what's important anyway. It's the CONCEPTS put forth that GOD is trying to 'reveal' to us.
As far as the notion of Kolob, again these are only ways that a different religion explains the unexplainable.
The Christian 'view' of heaven is merely what someone still on the material plane believes that spiritual existence is like.
While fanciful and pretty, it's not 'the truth'. We can't yet 'understand' the truth.
Perhaps not but heads are going to explode around here when (not if) he endorses Romney.
I believe God knows the hearts of all, be they Mormon or Catholic or Protestant.
As for condemning other churches, etc., Jesus said something about those not with us being against us. I think only God and His angels are qualified to separate the wheat from the tares, no?
I believe if someone is sincerely seeking, God is able to bring them to Himself and does. I have no idea how God feels about the Christ that Mormons teach about, but I remember the widow who put her last two mites into the Temple that crucified Christ, and Jesus applauded her.
God knows the heart, whether we’re being deceived or misled, God knows our hearts.
So tell me what is it about the Jesus Christ of the Mormon church that would cost a Mormon their salvation? Do they believe He died and rose again and paid for our sins? Yes or no?
Because that’s the Jesus that I know and the Bible writes of. And if someone is confused about who His brother is (I think they think Satan is?) does that change what Christ did?
If leaders of any church mislead others, he will be dealt with. But the flock that puts their trust in Christ, puts their trust in Christ.
As far as I know the rest are just details.
(except for the universalist unitarian church, anyone who goes there HAS to be putting their hands over their eyes and know that they are)
I saw that on your home page. You have a very nice and extensive home page. I distrust posters who won’t even make one. I didn’t get time to read that particular link, as it took me forever just to get through the rest of the page.
Post 11 seemed to be a nice, concise explanation, and I accepted it as a very reasonable and honest response.
(Thanks NOREDTAPE)
Unless you object to that explanation.
((((UCanSee2)))) nice testimony.
That part at the end though, that list, that’s not a manifesto right? It’s what you believe?
Ideas are not equal by simply being held. Sheer numbers do not validate an idea. Ideas should be scrutinized and revealed for what they are - particularly since Mormonism is gaining ground in its political influence.
I googled Jen Shroder last night and one result was your syndicated columns, which was what I was looking for, however, clicking that got me a whitened out result and I had to close the program just to be able to do anything else.
I tried several times with the same result.
Are you kidding me? That pro-abortion progressive? That would be the end of Beck.
There are lots of “nice” people.
Being “nice” doesn’t do anything to save them.
And as you allude, there are different motivations in people as to why they are being “nice”. Some think they are earning their way to salvation. Others realize there’s nothing they can do to earn it, accept it, thank God for providing Christ as the way for ALL to be saved, and try to live a Godly life as best they know how, out of gratitude for what Christ has done for them.
A finite being (humans) cannot pay off their infinite debt (sin against God’s eternal law). All need Christ as Savior.
He said it both ways. Take your pick.
Matthew 12:30 - “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
Luke 9:49-50 - “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Great article delacoert, and we see this type of word games all the time here.
Feel the hate or see the truth? Double dog dare you to cite one indisputable hateful thing in the article.
What about me do you find bigoted? and who is Andy Levy and how could you know how to spell what he was saying aloud? Why would you quote him here when he hadn't been mentioned and it didn't pertain to the subject at hand?
So... are you a Mormon?

Provide YOUR "truth" and let's see if we understand it.
Usually the Religion Moderator requres that sources and links be provided for generalized comments. However, if this is just your opinion, it would be helpful if that is stated.
