DAVEH: Just how do you define "Christian"? We've discussed the dictionary definition before, and by that definition, we both qualify.The real question is why do LDS go around hiding the differences?DAVEH: I didn't realize I was trying to hide any differences. Quite the opposite.....I often times say that I disagree with much of what is said on TT.Instead of just being falsely accepted as a christian, why not turn to the fountain of Living Waters and become a true Christian?DAVEH: IMO, being LDS qualifies.It is as simple as ABC:step 1 ADMIT you are a sinner.
DAVEH: I've done that.
(not a god in embryo progressing to perfection that just never seems to materialize) step 2 BELIEVE & Accept the payment that Jesus made on the cross for the sins you commit
DAVEH: I've also done that.
(past present future - His blood covers them all and can make you clean) This was payment in total not just a down payment for your resurrection. This is a faith belief not just mental acknowledgement. Knowing that Jesus is the TRUTH the WHOLE TRUTH and Nothing but the TRUTH. He is the only answer to your sin problem. The complete answer. The Blood of Jesus cleanses from ALL sin. He is the sin bearer the sin covering for you if you will accept His payment for your sin. step 3 CONFESS and call on His name for his FREE GIFT of Salvation
DAVEH: Nothing we do accounts for his saving gift of the resurrection.
that you could never earn by your works or perfection.
DAVEH: What Jesus has done for us, we could not do on our own. That does not mean we don't have any requirements for salvation. We've covered that ground before, but if you think you can be saved without doing some things on your own.....you are mistaken, Kevin.
Is All our righteousness is as Filthy ragsHe only is righteous and without sin. He can give you that righteousness as His merciful gift. Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy He saved us"
DAVEH: I've got no problem with that, Kevin. I do believe we are required to do certain things to return to heaven though. I'd be surprised if you don't agree.
Your sin condemns you, Call on his mercy! He can save you!Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

DAVEH: That is one thing I find so interesting about TT, Izzy.....Christian tolerance is a rare commodity here. Supposedly, TT is an open (to everyone) forum where even sodomites are welcome. In reality, most TTers find it difficult to accept (or perhaps I should say, feel comfortable) having those with contrasting views be an active part of TT.-----Original Message-----
DAVEH: I do like being accepted as a Christian though.
