I understand perfectly well what you are saying. I am saying you are wrong and unbiblical on a very basic thing - salvation by grace through faith.

Wow. If I’m a heretic then you really have failed to get what I am saying. Maybe you can answer this for me: If you are Jewish, are you damned?

If you are an honest Christian man, then why would you pretend that, that was an honest loop.

Are you Christian, or non-Christian?

I stand corrected. Yes, I’ve heard that term in those exact words many times.

Legalization is not a conservative principle.

I’ve proven my conservative bonafides on here during the past decade. You have what a week and are already showing signs of being a troll.

Nope fluent in Russian and English.

Learning some French. I tried Hebrew, but damn it’s tough.

I have considered marrying into Judaism. Would you consider that a sin?

Mormons have their own code phrases and pat answers. Makes them easy to spot if you know the language. LOL.

Legalization is probably the only issue where I am not “conservative”. I feel that the wasteful spending on the war on drugs is not wise. Marijuana is on the same plane as alcohol, imo. I do not support full drug legalization.

Ya gotta give me a break. I’m 24. I’m trying to get a hang of things on FR.

I’m headed there myself and your word is good enough for me. Joseph Smith was a delusional crackpot.

sin is anything that is disobedient to God...
In fact the Lord has taught us that all have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God...

I would consider it proof you are not a Christian. Christians are not to be unequally yoked. A sin, no, but not evidence of a believer either.

Again that is Biblical.

I am also fluent in other languages - Latin, French, German, Serbian, and have a working knowledge of several other languages including Egyptian (all 3 forms), Old and Middle English, Old French and Akkadian. I just listed Greek and Hebrew because those were related to the topic at hand. Degrees in Biblical studies, theology, and advanced degrees in Ancient History and Medieval History.

So many of them seem to be related. It’s almost incestous.

And now I am a demon? What??

You miss the point.

The apostle James was talking to people who were professing to know God based on their own knowledge and experiences. He was simply saying, "Whoop-te-doo, so what, what you are saying is so obvious that even demons know that." He was not calling them demons, and I'm certainly not calling you a demon (actually all I did was quote a verse of scripture).

Pontius Pilate asked of Jesus, "What is truth?" He never realized truth was the very man he was talking to; Jesus Christ.

I hope you find the truth. I would encourage you to start by looking at the man Christ Jesus.

No breaks here kid, you are in with the big boys.

And at 24 I was running the largest YR group in California and a state delegate CRA and CRP. Slacker.

LOL! I live in Mesa, AZ...I kinda know...Gotta love em though...seriously I have a real heart for many of them..I know so many truly love the Lord, but they have been so misguided on His Word. I know they have been taught to know a different god...in a sense. But, If they could just experience the truth of the real Word, they would be set free. And believe me, I have seen many LDS set free to the bondage of that religion.

When you stop being a punk kid, then try again to have an adult conversation with us.

All this childish nonsense is boring to us, and dishonest from your end.

LOL it can be. IIRC, it was colorcountry who told a story about how her and her husband went to their grandmothers to find out if they were related or not on their second date.

French is a great language, I’ll be in Nice, FR in a couple months. I love the vocabulary.

I hope I didn’t come across as a raving liberal, reaganaut.

Most of my buddies think I’m an idiot for missing W, but that’s how things are in Atlanta.

I wish ya a good night.
