@Smokahontas2024@JasonCrowCO@AndyBeshearKY His was one of the earlier stolen elections. Remember in 2019 against Matt Bevin when they just kept counting and counting until they won by only 5,000 votes? Yeah. Me too.
@EWErickson So the Apostles weren’t Christian. The Martyrs who died for their belief in Christ under Nero weren’t Christian. The early Church Fathers weren’t Christian. Gotcha.
@justin_hart@seanfeucht Don’t forget Deuteronomy 4
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.”
Every part of the Bible after Moses should be dismissed evidently.
Good point.
And along with that, Christ was a God and knew the man’s heart and history. We can’t make final judgments but Christ can because He has all the facts we lack.
We can’t base our theology on the brief events cited but can have faith the Jesus did the just and right thing in this case too.
Which Bible? Which of the translations currently afoot? Which of the anthologies —? The Catholic Bible with dozens more books than Martin Luther’s Bible? The Hebrew Bible? Latin Bible? Greek Bible? For nearly 1000 years, various writings were held as inspired by Christians all over the West.
If a person believes that all truth is contained in one of the Bibles (which one?) why did the Council in Nicea add doctrine to the church beyond the Bible? Sola scriptura requires an interpretation. That’s the function of a prophet.
Christ never taught the creed of the Trinity.
Mike— I respect and appreciate you to no end. We are cousins through JDL. You sponsored my son into the USMA at West Point. You will love the scholarly facts about the Restored Church from this convert who only uses Non-LDS academics to make points that you will value. Please follow this guy and get facts to make an amazing case for Restoration Christianity. https://t.co/V5U4nhHvKO
Do not let evil turn you into a hater. Do not give evil the power to change your heart into hatred. Dont let evil win.
Love your enemies enough to call them out and hedge up their evil ways. If they require being sent to meet their Maker, you can still do this with Love in your heart. Never give in to hate.
Socialists can be atheists because all their resources come from government. But entrepreneurs tend to believe in God, as they are subject to the vicissitudes of weather, customers, and the market. As a small business owner, I have often prayed for new clients to walk through my doors. God always provides.
I’m not. I glory in persecution.
When you truly understand the abomination of the creeds, this type of persecution creates a liberating clarity. We are not creedal Christians. And neither were the Apostles. Neither was Christ.
Persecution draws the honest in heart to our defense. Persecution purifies our ranks. Persecution brings the blessings of Heaven and sanctifies the Saints.
I love our enemies for these reasons. They are inadvertently doing much to bless our Church and our members in both spiritual and temporal ways. With the restoration of Christ’s true Church and His priesthood power through prophets and apostles, all things will turn to the good for us. Everything. We win every time.
@FiredUpCoug They are Catholic creeds. Protestants obey the Catholic creeds. And BTW Constantine was not even baptized yet when he convened and controlled the council at Nicea. It was Overseen by a pagan ruler.
@MarkBenedi34639 I agree. It’s very sad. I think many people would rather work in an office for a paycheck rather than working to rear a family of many children. BTW I have 15 granddaughters now.
Happy Thanksgiving! Here are my 4 daughters, 3 sons, 16 grandchildren and one husband thru it all. He cooked 4 turkeys and I made 100 rolls. Our pie contest featured 12 pies….
I love you too. I admire your relentless work. I just can’t believe that God would condemn all preborn babies and children to Hell if they aren’t baptized before dying. Jesus Christ loved little children. I know you do too. God would not be just if the abortionists win another captive for the Devil every time they commit an abortion.
Then Christ’s Apostles weren’t Christian either. The creeds are an abomination of political intrigue. The Bible was put together over a thousand years of really messy opinions and is not infallible. Protestantism can’t be the authoritative church of God because it’s a corrupt offshoot of a corrupt Catholic Church. They are really nice people but the doctrines have apostatized from the original teachings of Christ in fundamental ways.
As an experiment, ask Grok which modern church teaches the original doctrines and claim Divine authority from Christs Apostles:
1. Baptism by immersion
2. Healing by the laying on of hands
3. Prophets and Apostles, the Seventy, teachers, deacons, priests and patriarchs
4. Worldwide Missionary work
5. Fasting and giving to the poor
6. Tithing
7. Gift of the Holy Spirit by the laying in of hands
8. Miracles of healing, and spiritual gifts such as revelations, tongues, prophecy
9. Christ was born of a Virgin and was Gods only begotten Son.
10. Christ lived a sinless life and was crucified for our sins
11. Christ rose from the dead on the third day and was resurrected with a glorified body
12. God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings as demonstrated at the time of Christs baptism.
13. An apostasy occurred after the death of Christs apostles.
14. Christ will return again to the earth to rule in glory when there will be a millennium of world peace.
15. The 10 tribes will be gathered.
16. Angels minister to the earth to bring about God’s purposes.
17. All will be judged by Christ
18. All people will be resurrected and live eternally
19. If we love God we will keep His commandments because faith without works is dead.
