The statement by Joseph Smith did not hold the view in which you just made. He believed it to be the "best book." Was that His opinion or was He just mistaken.
I have already answered this question. No repentance does not get you into the family. But if you want a clear conscious then repentance should come naturally. Faith in Jesus' alone gets you in the family. And even if you do not remember a sin you committed it is okay because you arent saved by...
So you are saying that Joseph Smith made statements that could be false. He did not say he thought or his opinion was that book of mormon was... He stated that it was. Now if you say that He was mistaken I would gladly accept that. Then we could go along to the other things he also was mistaken...
The Mormon doctrine does not teach this however. They believe that works are necessary for salvation (to get in the family). They cripple Jesus bridging the gap to get us into the family and rely on their own works to get in the family. They are implying that Jesus was not enough. "Just from...
Umm i case you missed the older threads. He gave me a hypothetical. And I asked him questions so I would not assume anything regarding to the hypothetical. And I think i answered the question.
In order to be saved one has to repent and believe. But Christianity does not stop their Christianity is a life long relationship and in order to be successful and conscious clear Christian on has to do works and works determine reward in Heaven. An example "there are a father and son" The son...
I am getting to the answer. If they believe that Jesus is atonement for sin.Why is their own works needed. They must think that Jesus' work was not sufficient and have to add to His work with theirs .If they do not believe that Jesus is enough to save them and they need to depend on their own...
The quote goes like this
"-Sunday 28- I spent the day in the council with the twelve apostles at the house of President Young, conversing with them upon a variety of subjects. Brother Joseph Fielding was present, having been absent four years on a mission to England. I told the brethren...

Just to clear things up. I was not questioning your honesty in the other post. I was making a scenario. The scenario goes as this "if i have personally read something in the book of Mormon and present whatever it is to you and you say that it is not in the Book of Mormon then I will question...
First rule of Bible interpretation is to let the Bible as a whole interpret the Bible, instead of individual text. I think that Jesus was here because our works could not save us. Isaiah 64:4 "our righteousness are as filthy rags." We would not need Jesus if we could save ourselves. Ephesians...
Nope I do not. This passage refers to Christ Judgement in the future where both the save and the lost-(those who have personal relationship and those who do not). The Judgement will be based on outward works of love and kindness to those who follow Christ and/or in need. Good works cannot save...
Yes I do. I believe every word of it and because of what it has said I have left everything that I held dear to me: family, friends, money, secrutiy. So that I can help the homeless, poor, broken hearted, drug addict, homosexual,drunk. I am currently in debt because Im pursuing the call of God...
Okay,I can not say that I know more Mormon doctrine than you because 1) i do not know how much Mormon doctrine you know. I only know how much Mormon doctrine i "know". In order to compare I would have to be you and know how much you know. I will however will say that I do not know everything...
