@edstetzer@biolau My cry to pastors and counselors: Your task is not done until you get me talking to God again. Your greatest service to believers is re-reconciliation when we feel we’ve gotten ourselves tossed in the pile of “castaways.”
@Sola_GPT Do you think the “hole in Jerusalem” might be because, first, the Jews chased out the Christians, and then Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, sending Jews and remaining Christians (whom Rome considered a Jewish sect) into the diaspora… just like Jesus foretold?
@edstetzer Glad you’re doing well. My daughter (Biola grad, works at Stand to Reason) had laminectomies, twice, not long ago. Now she does 8- to 12-mile hikes in SoCal*. You’ll be back to kicking up dust in a few months.
* By herself. I worry. I wish Biola had a hiking club.
@j_divis (Continued) God the Son took on a human nature so He could represent us in His death and so He can mediate for us in heaven. God the Father does not represent us or mediate for us. He did not need human nature with its body.
@j_divis The Mormon Father-god, like the Gnostics’ gods, is a created being, along with all the other gods of Mormonism. The God of the Bible created the universe. Bodies are part of the universe. God could not have had a body before there was a universe. (Continued)
@theelderpepe Ugo’s ancestors burn in hell because of their sins. Failing to obey the gospel would be just one more sin, but God doesn’t hold them accountable for ignorance.
Intellectually shallow LDS creates problems with every attack on biblical Christianity.
@PeacemakingSt “This fold” was the Jews. The “other sheep” were the gentiles: non-Jews, starting in Samaria. Archaeology and history prove it. Archaeological evidence of Christ in the Americas? Even the crickets are silent.
Now, Mormon, you are accountable for that bit of scripture twisting.
@ThoughtfulSaint It’s hilarious how you lie so hard to refute a direct quote from the Bible. You equivocate “saved” and obfuscate the fact that your works alone determine WHICH heaven you think you’ll go to. A “thoughtful saint” would try to untwist, not twist and deceive.
@GayleCassara@MikeWingerii Candace isn’t a victim. She’s a victimizer. She’s back-lashing the real victims.
Her questions always have hidden assumptions to form rhetorical questions that accuse. I strongly recommend you listen to Frank Turek’s July 3 (released this week) critique of her methods.
@BIGKLDS Thank you for convincing gullible people with made-up history, made-up “revelation,” and equivocated terminology. Drawing false converts away from Christ’s true church (which isn’t a cult like LDS and Rome) keeps the church purer.
@BIGKLDS What a dumb analogy. The weirdness in LDS doctrine came from its “infallible” apostles and prophets. None of the variation among early Christians happened among apostles or prophets.
Please, do a little study of logic.
