As you wish... Have a nice day. :wave:

I passed a kidney stone.

You must've been "unorthodox" so we called an orderly meeting and booted you out! :P

Just want your perspective. Didn't want to make an assumption. 'Course, not answering the question and instead responding with another question is to be expected on these toughies! ;)

Let me guess... you?:D

So you're agreeing that your testimony is idolatrous?

Accidental double post. Must have been too shocked to have an agreement with Swart on something!

Hold on... Let me get up off the floor.. Swart actually agreed with me... ;) I feel honored to be a part of one of those times. ;) "Thanktimonies"... Yes, I have heard those. Good term. Maybe you should trademark it! I agree with your above statements. [/LIST]I have never told an lds...

So, are you saying that to be part of God's church, all one has to do is have a heart for God? No church membership, no baptism, no temple recommends, no tithes? If not, please clarify what you are saying.

Which would be where? :)

Ran, Forgive me. You have taken the time to include a :) at the end of your posts. I have not. So, here's to you... :) :) :) :) [apparently, I am limited to 5 per post, otherwise I'd give you more ]

Part of it. But that still doesn't address the whole story does it? What does it take to get to the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom? Exhaltation, I think, is the term used for this. Seems to me, some of those requirements are missing from Post #3. Or am I mistaken? The rest of your...

Ah, yes, deflect the blame back to me. My understanding, etc. blah, blah, etc. must be wrong. Good one. So answer me this, if you will - if God looks into one's heart and sees that it is good and pleasing, where will that person end up?

You can say whatever you believe if you like. But when it comes to a faith statement or testimony, it seems to be a preprogrammed response in this order (not verbatum, but the concept is the same): 1. The lds church is true. 2. Joseph Smith was a prophet. 3. Then some mention of Jesus...

Funny how when one leaves the lds church, the first assumption is that it was a "faith" issue, rather than a Holy Spirit guidance issue. Although, I guess that could be a faith issue in itself?

A humble 97-year old woman can barely get out of bed. She loves the Lord, but cannot walk, can barely see, and needs 24 hour assistance. She does not go to church or read the Bible due to her condition. She is on the "sidelines". Has she lost her salvation? A 9-year old boy has weeks to...

Au contraire. I jumped into your conversation. Before I arrived, it was you who seemed to be saying God didn't want more than one church, using Bible references to back up your point in I Nephi 14:12. It is your contention, based on your posts, that all these denominations cannot be true. By...

[/I] Misinterpretation. If you know you are supposed to do the "right thing", something good for someone in need for example, and don't do it, that is a sin. Besides, we are talking about salvation, not just sinning. We are all sinners. And Jesus covered mine.:amen:

To be addressed. I'm interested in you providing them. After all, twas you who brought up the 8 uncited definitions of church out of a dictionary. I was merely suggesting that if you are looking to include definitions of a word in your discussion of a Bible passage, look to the original...

Which would explain your ignorance on the subject. I'll accept 24. Name them, please. You stated: "Look at baptism. God has only one stance on what is acceptable in regards to baptism and everything else are the doctrines of men. " I just want to know where God's "one stance" is in the...
