There will be a great seperation among Christians (those who believe in Christ) which is what that parable is all about, in my opinion.

If the parable numbers are literal, then the split will be right down the middle, 50/50, on certain issues, such as are being discussed in other threads.

And now here is an example of your crew's judgmental, self-righteousness.

Let's make it clear, that not one person/"self" on this planet is perfect/"righteous," but we can proclaim righteousness and strive for it.

We are proclaiming righteousness, even though we are sinners, just as you are proclaiming your position.

Should we put a label on your position ???

"Self-degrading" maybe ???

Why would you want to "self-degrade" yourself ???

Move to higher ground.

Your self-righteousness has already labeled me by implication. I know exactly where I stand with you.

Were the 5 virgins of the "Parable of the 10 Virgins" being self-centered and self-righteous for not giving of their oil to the other 5 virgins who had no oil ???
They basically said go and get your own oil, then were taken into the "Bride Chamber" and the door was shut, while the other 5 virgins were away buying oil for their lamps.

So then you're comfortable with your particular belief system, so then why are you complaining about our stance on any given issue that is opposed to yours ???

Are you happy with your beliefs ??? Do they give you a sense of peace ???

"If everyone waited untill they were perfect to teach, nobody would learn anything."

We proclaim righteousness but know where we fall short and strive to fix it. this is the fundamental way of life for every true Latter-day Saint.

Calling someone "Self-righteous" because we are following the prophet's council, is just a way of being in denial. they don't want to humble themselves and submit to the will of the Lord as spoken through his servants the Prophets.

D&C 1:

Quote:

38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

I am getting fed up with having to defend myself to you. Either back up what you're saying, or don't say it.

As I've stated before: All the evidence is in your posts.
