Subject: [TruthTalk] God in our
unconscious
Well Blaine:
According to scripture on the last day we are
going to be judged according
to the Words Jesus spoke. These are not the
same Words your BofM teaches
Blaine: Actually there is little in the BoM
itself that is contrary to the gospels in the Bible. Most of the
differences that seem foreign to you come from later revelations, now
contained in the Book called The Doctrine and Covenants. It contains
much on how Christ's church is to be organized and conducted in
these latter days, in preparation for His second coming in glory, as well as
doctriines that clarify but do not really add to the gospel as delivered to
the saints of the early church. I am telling you the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God. OK?
So how will you get around that? Jesus said the
gate is strait and the way is
narrow and only a few are going to find it.
Blaine: The question is, who are the ones who
will be the "few?" I have faith God is a fair and equitable god.
He will include all who earnestly seek to keep his commandments, and in doing
so prove their friendship to him. We are all his children--do you
believe that?
I know you've heard all this
before but Mormonism adds to God's Truth making it
something other than
the faith ONCE delivered to the saints. Some on
this list who profess to be
believers may encourage you in this deception... they
are not the ones who
really care for your soul.
Blaine: I am always glad to hear someone cares for my
soul. Thank you Judy
Blaine: I keep
wondering, when people say I am not a Christian because I am a
Mormon, if they even know
what they are saying. It seems to me they haven't really
thought anything through,
they are just parroting what they have heard someone say.
Am I a Muslim? Nope,
I do not worship Mohammed, or believe Mohammed was a
prophet. Am I a
Jew? Nope, I believe the Messiah arrived as Jesus Christ. Am I an
Atheist? Nope, I
believe in God. Do I believe in and worship Jesus Christ? Yup.
So I must be a
Christian. If you still don't believe this, please tell me your reasoning
--but withold your biases,
as I am not interested in noisy nonsense or
insulting word-offal.

jt: Where would you come up with an idea like that? You
can not be Mormon/Christian
any more than you can be Jew/Christian.
Regarding the Jew/Christian
thing: read Acts 21. More than that -- virtually all
of Paul's problems in the church was caused by a brand of legalism called
Judaism.
Alexander the copper smith was probably a Jew/Christian.
I personally believe that Alexander was yhe reason Paul was prosecuted
unto death (Alexander has cause me much harm). Evidence of the
Jewish church is abundant in both Romans and Hebrews. It is just
very short sighted to NOT see the Jewish/Christian church in the biblical
message. It is actually everywhere.
Anyway -- I have to clean the pool. It
is a great day here in Fresno.
