@5PointBaptist @realJennaEllis @DineshDSouza @Soteriology101 Who is Calvinism named after? And why?

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@surskitmaxxing I'm not saying it's a dirty word, I'm just putting things in perspective. If there are members who think they are justified by their works and not through Christ, I'd say they are in error and need to read Mosiah 2 in the Book of Mormon

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@edlars53 @Primary_Pianist No, but the context is Christians being purposefully incivil and hiding behind "I'm just preaching truth"

@yjacket1 @ThoughtfulSaint Define "this", did baby Jesus phase through Mary? For no other reason than to bypass the birth canal? For no other reason besides that would be yucky? Can someone explain this to me like I am 5?

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@edlars53 @Primary_Pianist This does not grant carte blanche for incivility to followers of Christ.

@Apologetics941 @JamesCWrites It's not my doctrine. Lol, it's church guidance from 20 years ago with absolutely 0 explanation or importance given beyond your feigned outrage, go find yourself a tampon

@Apologetics941 Alright, lets now help you rewrite your first post to be more accurate:
"According to Mormon Doctrine and Covenants 132 polygamy was an Everlasting Covenant and that if [Joseph Smith didn't] practice it [he'd be] DAMNED."

@TAlanHorne @stackerco Exactly, came here to say this. Commonality in a belief system is a business catalyst for any faith

@surskitmaxxing bind themselves to Christ. The question was adherence to the works of the Law of Moses which were disconnected from Christology. Whereas LDS ordinances are seen as following commandments from Christ to bind you to him.

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@surskitmaxxing For clarification sake in LDS teachings, baptism is the only required covenant for celestial kingdom. But Baptism itself doesn't "unlock the door". It binds you to Christ, who unlocks the door. Judaizers in NT times held to works separate to Christ's grace. Not as a way to...

@Salt_n_Smoke @BIGKLDS @JS_StrngstSldr Wait, people within a faith have different views on a question without a dogmatic teaching from the church? *gasp* we definitely don't see that in... literally every organized religion

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@surskitmaxxing bible typically refers to "works under the law" separate from Christ's grace where covenant theology is about binding yourself to Christ so his Grace can transform you. You aren't paying for a reward with a work, but letting Christ transform you

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@surskitmaxxing Saved from death and hell? Christ's salvation from death and hell is a universal (with virtually no exceptions) gift of grace in LDS theology. Exaltation through covenant making and keeping is not about "works you need to constantly do" (and "works" when referred to in the...

These gay men are buying a woman’s child to the applause of confused mormon suburban women in Utah.

The fact that this is not universally condemned by every Latter-day Saint is just evidence for how confused we are.

@JamesCWrites @Apologetics941 He is referencing a 20 year old manual to make his point (which isn't a point when you look at the history of left handedness in pretty much all major religions(

@cairo_ayres @ATIF_Podcast "Jesus flipped tables, so as long as I am 'speaking truth', I can be uncivil"

[TheLastFailbender @TFailbender]

@ReelPressence @ATIF_Podcast "Mormons have no good arguments..."
Well, I guess that's it then for us
