(New Testament | Luke 8:21)
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it...
God will give the Jews a new heart and they will keep His statutes and His judgments (commandments) and DO them:People LOVE when God gives them a new heart!
Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Titus 3
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
God will give the Jews a new heart and they will keep His statutes and His judgments (commandments) and DO them:
(Old Testament | Ezekiel 36:24 - 35)
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 ¶ Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
Baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost does save us if we afterwards keep the commandments.
Just quoting the Bible.False teachers don't preach the true Gospel or the True God.
Just quoting the Bible.
No, Satan does not use the Bible, but people stumble due to lack of works.Mormons think Satan uses it to lead people astray.
1 Nephi 13
(verse 29)
No, Satan does not use the Bible, but people stumble due to lack of works.
Plain and precious things missing from the Bible like this:The verse in 1 Nephi 3 says people stumble because of the words that were removed from the Bible.
Perhaps you'll deny that till the day you die, but that is what the verse says.
Book of Mormon Student Manual:
“As we read the words of the angel, we discover that the world never has had a complete Bible, for it was massively—even cataclysmically—corrupted before it was distributed. Of course, in addition to the major willful corruption of the Bible in the early Christian era, the manuscripts have also continued to suffer the gradual and relatively mild changes, due to errors of hand and eye, that the scholars talk about. Thus there have been two processes at work: (1) a major, sudden, and deliberate editorial corruption of the text and (2) a gradual promulgation of variants that has occurred as a natural consequence of copying and translation” (Robert J. Matthews, A Bible! A Bible! [1990], 74–75).
President James E. Faust (1920–2007) of the First Presidency spoke of how the standard works of the Church have been the principal means of restoring lost truths:
“The Apostle John saw in vision the time when an angel would come to the earth as part of the Restoration of the gospel. That angel was Moroni, who appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith. He directed Joseph to the place where golden plates containing ancient writings were deposited. Joseph Smith then translated these plates by the gift and power of God, and the Book of Mormon was published. This is a record of two groups of people who lived centuries ago on the American continent. Little was known about them before the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. But more importantly, the Book of Mormon is another testament of Christ. It restored precious truths concerning the Fall, the Atonement, the Resurrection, and life after death.
Joseph Smith taught that “many important points touching the salvation of man, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled” (History of the Church, 1:245). He also said that the Bible was correct as “it came from the pen of the original writers,” but that “ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors” (History of the Church, 6:57.)
Chapter 4: 1 Nephi 12–15
:Plain and precious things missing from the Bible like this:
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 25:23)
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
God will give the Jews a new heart and they will keep His statutes and His judgments (commandments) and DO them: (Old Testament | Ezekiel 36:24 - 35)...
Faith without works is dead and saves no one.:
Another lie because Joseph Smith taught that Jesus' blood isn't enough! And and you, "He is the way," think God only changes the hearts of Jewish people.
1 John 1
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
John 15:5
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Philippines 2
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Faith without works is dead and saves no one.
(New Testament | James 2:18 - 20)Faith in Jesus' blood saves. That salvation always produces fruit that endures.
More of JESUS,
Less of me!
That is great, and it is our duty to serve God. We serve God by LOVING Him and serving our neighbor.I love serving God, but I don't tell people, "Hey, look at me!" I do them to bring glory to God.
Luke 17
10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ ”
That is great, and it is our duty to serve God. We serve God by LOVING Him and serving our neighbor.
For us there is one God, the Father. He sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to earth to atone for our sins:We don't serve Him by trying to please False gods. Nor do we serve Him by claiming that the goal of humans is to become EQUAL with a FALSE god.View attachment 285200
"In this way both the Father and the Son, as also all exalted beings, are now or in due course will become Gods of Gods."
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 342-376
"We educate ourselves in the secular field and in the spiritual field so that we may one day create worlds, people and govern them."
The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], p. 386
"Then what you're saying is that God became God by obedience to the gospel program, which culminates in eternal marriage."
Achieving a Celestial Marriage, c. 1976, 1992, p.4
Belief alone is NOT sufficient, we are saved by grace after all that we can do which is our DUTY to do:LDS are taught:
"One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God; that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation."
Spender W. Kimball, Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 206
"The sectarian dogma of justification by faith alone has exercised an influence for evil. The idea upon which this pernicious doctrine was founded was at first associated with that of an absolute predestination, by which man was foredoomed to destruction, or to an undeserved salvation."
James E. Talmage, The Articles of Faith
“FAITH, GRACE, AND WORKS. The fallacy that Jesus has done all for us, and live as we may, if on our deathbed, we only believe, we shall be saved in his glorious presence, is most pernicious. Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, has given us the means whereby man may obtain eternal happiness and peace in the kingdom of our Father, but man must work out his own salvation through obedience to the eternal principles and ordinances of the gospel. For centuries men have been blinded by the false teaching of ‘belief alone sufficient’; and today there is manifest on every hand the sorry plight into which this and other perverse doctrines have thrown the pseudo-Christian sects. The world is in sore need at the present time of the gospel of individual effort—the gospel of faith and works. He who will not grasp this means provided him, will sink beneath the waves of sin and falsehood.”
David O. McKay, Gospel Ideals, p. 8
we are saved by grace after all that we can do
