I tell you the truth, YOU DID NOT READ MY FIRST SENTENCE:

Wow, you openly admit that you are Mormon or is that PAST TENSE? 🡸

I then when on to share why him the info from Sandra Tanner, who was an ex-mormon, who has this info on her website, that can HELP get a Mormon out of Mormonism, or a CHRISTIAN to understand their Terminology Differences.

He responded: While I appreciate your informative post . . . I'm not sure why you would think I am still a Mormon

I am sorry you misunderstood my motives.

So why are you so upset?

Well, you could have simply posted . . .

"Wow, you openly admit that you are Mormon or is that PAST TENSE? 🡸 "

then waited for my reply.

If I said, "why, yes! I still worship Joseph Smith and hope to one day take a vacation at Koleb" - then you could have lectured me on the dangers of the cult.

Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

Hy low, It won't be in my walmart concordance and it's not intrested enough to exaustively go find it. I have worked for a non denominational Christian ministry long enough to realize that Jesus the Christ died once for all mankind. Weather they accept it or not is a personal decision on which PERSONAL SALVATION hinges. It's up to us to accept or reject the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God for the remission of sins on a permanant, unconditional basis on an unconditional faith. Jesus paid the price already so if we believe and accept it, we don't have to. @dcontroversal, this is your specialty.

There is more drivel and tripe being dished out from pulpits than ever before. Most claim it is for Christs sake but like our own nation being a Democrat or Republican dosn't make one more or less american. It's a matter of the heart. If someone wants to work for their salvation, let them but don't let them forget taht the first person to see paradise was a criminal on the cross next to Jesus. The only work he ever didwas to defendJesus with his dying breath. No works, just respect and faith. He was saved!

you can rant and name call all you want, you are not sinless, no one is, and you will not get to Heaven by being obedient, because no one can perfectly obey.
Rant, name call AND twist the scriptures. :cautious:

YOU REALLY DESERVE TO BE BANNED FOR SAYING JESUS "WAS CURSED". IT SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED. SINCE IT'S BEEN TOLERATED, I'M NOT SURPRISED WHY THOSE WHO TOLERATE IT REJECT GOD'S WORD, TEACHINGS, LAWS AND COMMANDS.
So you cut this verse out of your modern bible?

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians 3:13).

Not sure who you mean and don't kneed to know, but there are a few around that fit the bill. That is why I say, you have to love the ignore list.

Hi BaptistBibleBeliever, I don't believe we have had a conversation before so I just wanted to say hello and say thank you for this beautiful song titled "God Leads Us Along" By" Pastor George A Young. The lyrics are wonderful and O so true. "Some through the fire, but all through the blood;"

About the author of this song quote;
"The author of this hymn, "God Lead Us Along", was a little known preacher whom we only know as preacher and carpenter whose fame only came after he was already dead. He spent a lifetime humbly serving the Lord with his wife in small rural churches of the USA. He was so poor that life for him and his family was a difficult one. His name was George A Young."

Also I agree with your statement above, through past experience I regretfully have begun to speak before my brain was fully engaged. The result being embarrassment and apologies. I pray reconciliation and peace is forthcoming, God bless!

Mornin'!

I couldn't answer his folly until I had a few sips of Joe . . .
If I offended you with that post the other day, I am sorry. But I meant it to be good information only, as I have found it to be very useful over the past 3 decades. I know some people read these posts like a newspaper, never missing a post. I do not, mainly because I am a very slow reader, and I am 69 years old, so I just pick and choose what I read. So I did not see the post that explained your conversion to Christianity. Please forgive this old man, but the information is GOOD, use it that way. Thank You.
