• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

LDS Mormonism is an enemy of the Cross and therefore not Christian

You say: It is love without expecting or wanting anything in return. Just to love.

I agree with you for the most part, but how does John 14:15-16 fit into your love-without-expecting-or wanting-anything-in-return theology?
John 14:15-16
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.

Mormons seem to always be bringing mainline Christians into Jesus-of-the-NT reality.

Jesus tells us that he loves us, and he will pray and give you the HS to abide with you for ever, IF you will keep Jesus's commandments.

If you decide not to keep Jesus's commandments, maybe because you read and were taught that Paul said "you are saved by grace" and not of works (keeping the commandments), then what happens?

Are Jesus and Paul in conflict?

So you think you know the Bible so well now, do you?

Jesus said if you love me. That's not salvation, love.

You can't teach Christians what you do not understand in context.
