I can hardly regret having escaped the appalling waste of time and spirit which would have been involved in reading the war news…accounts distorted before they reached the Divisional general and further distorted before they left him and then 'written up' out of all recognition
Even in peace-time I think those are very wrong who say that schoolboys should be encouraged to read the newspapers. Nearly all that a boy reads there in his teens will be known before he is twenty to have been false in emphasis and interpretation, if not in fact as well
Ultimately if they follow Jesus and seem to be following his teaching above all other extra biblical teaching / tradition the best they can then I would say that is for Jesus to sort out. He might not give a tinkers darn about a government list of Christian churches LOL.
Mormons and Christianity
Are Mormons Christian? I grew up thinking no. There does seem to be good fruit associated with Mormonism (as in some good quality folks). I’m sure countless examples of bad fruit could be provided but I’m just speaking of impressions.
Facets of these teachings have a proper place in the right worship of the Triune God and living a Christian life but over emphasis or out of order attention / love goes into error.
@PageauJonathan JP’s teaching is sometimes difficult but I found this one particularly challenging. Just when I thought I was beginning to understand symbolic language, I go and listen to this and it was like I am hearing a foreign tongue.
@TRobinsonNewEra May all who are in authority use that authority so that men of peace and goodwill can lead a quiet peaceable life in all godliness and reverence and may they be a terror to those who do evil.
“Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off.”
Receive Jesus as Lord and live His way. Walk the paths by of the Righteous.
Psalm 37 a mediation for men of good will dwelling among those who seek to do harm and plot evil.
“Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.”
“For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.”
“The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.”
