Why is it always the Mormons? (Jesus Christ, Buddhism, beliefs, LDS)

I think the Mormon Church is the one to first call the historical Christian church to be apostate. You make me chuckle, which is a good thing. God saves whom He wills (Rom 9).

Biblical Christains are more than conquerors by the sovereign grace of God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jeesh, thanks, Scott. Happy to oblige.

Their conversion rate seems to sit right at about 0%, too, unless you consider Nutshell. LOL.

I don't think that counts. Though, it was pretty damn fun to watch the EC bunch fawn all over him for a while.

Silly evangelicals, trix are for kids.

Unfortunately with so many people who are "special," it ends up that none of them are actually special at all. So sad.

Oh, but our special is so much more special than your special.
