So as Chirstians when we ask Mormons if they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, that they believe Jesus died and rose again on the third day to take away our sins and they say yes, they are not saying that they believe by confessing this that they automatically will live in the mansion where God the Father and Jesus Christ are and when they acknowledge our faith they don't believe that we will automatically be there based only on the blood of Jesus alone either.

Christians, on the other hand, believe that we will be in the presence of God the Father and Jesus Christ solely by our faith in Christ and what He alone did by dying on the cross and rising again on the third day, so we believe it is a free gift of God and it doesn't just come after all we can do as Mormons believe.

Jeremy I believe you answered the question in another discussion why God seemed evil by punishing other nations i prefer the word you used which is judgement.God weighs up the hearts and then judges fairly thats not evil in fact he weighs up all the factors before he makes his decision and his decisions are perfect and wise.When he commanded Israel to wipe out other nations it was Gods judgement on these nations because of the evil they had committed in alot of ways its exaggerated because they did nt have Christ to shield them like we have if anything it shows how merciful God is towards us today.In those days gods judgement was quick and immediate.What happened to Israel when they broke the laws God gave them they immediately fell into judgement often resulting in many deaths to there own people until the sins of the people were dwelt with.So even for Gods people it was a conditional on there attitude and actions towards God.Again we see God is merciful to these previous nations that were destroyed as Christ after his crucifiction went and preached to them giving them the opportunity to repent so again we see God is still merciful.His word is true The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.

Jeff: This is what causes division as we go about doing even good things, out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to set up another sect out of our carnal nature; above is the outcome; Jesus came to cause division among men that tries to become their own god and sets up camp, even for them that call themselves Christian, for them that have went from Him and His Words, even that are not of His Spirit: Jesus said; the Words that I speak are Spirit and Life, That means the Words of man can only bring forth death: Therefore; if we do not have His Spirit in us, then we too can only speak forth death: This is what it is to be a believer, we truly believe our Lord: I can see what the Catholic church and her daughters are doing to form a religious Babylonian city: Even as God caused a division in Babylon in the past because the peoples became great, so to is it now with all of the man made sects of religion: But when we are filled with the Spirit of God then we can not help but to live for God: It is written; those who are led by His spirit are His children: Thank - you Jeff: Those who are of His Spirit will know these truths, those who are not of His Spirit truly believe a believer is as they and can not know what we speak, because they live in unbelief: Thank - you again Jeff; In Jesus Name Alexandria: P.Sin us, then we too can only speak forth death: This is what it is to be a believer, we truly believe our Lord: I can see what the Catholic church and her daughters are doing to form a religious Babylonian city: Even as God caused a division in Babylon in the past because the peoples became great, so to is it now with all of the man made sects of religion: But when we are filled with the Spirit of God then we can not help but to live for God: It is written; those who are led by His spirit are His children: Thank - you Jeff: Those who are of His Spirit will know these truths, those who are not of His Spirit truly believe a believer is as they and can not know what we speak, because they live in unbelief: Thank - you again Jeff; In Jesus Name Alexandria: P.Sin Babylon in the past because the peoples became great, so to is it now with all of the man made sects of religion: But when we are filled with the Spirit of God then we can not help but to live for God: It is written; those who are led by His spirit are His children: Thank - you Jeff: Those who are of His Spirit will know these truths, those who are not of His Spirit truly believe a believer is as they and can not know what we speak, because they live in unbelief: Thank - you again Jeff; In Jesus Name Alexandria: P.Sin the past because the peoples became great, so to is it now with all of the man made sects of religion: But when we are filled with the Spirit of God then we can not help but to live for God: It is written; those who are led by His spirit are His children: Thank - you Jeff: Those who are of His Spirit will know these truths, those who are not of His Spirit truly believe a believer is as they and can not know what we speak, because they live in unbelief: Thank - you again Jeff; In Jesus Name Alexandria: P.Sin unbelief: Thank - you again Jeff; In Jesus Name Alexandria: P.SIn Jesus Name Alexandria: P.S..

Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen in the world i personally do nt know God did nt explain to Job either why he had to suffer.What i do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him through Jesus Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we to make of that.What we do know is that God will set all things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded for there faith isnt that enough reason for us to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need to be saved from ourselves so what are we to do.For me Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven to be correct and many of prophetic words spoken many hundreds of years ago have come to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a faith in Jesus Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have to believe in Jesus Christ.brentnz

In Acts, Luke uses this title when writing about work currently going on; the work of the risen, exalted Christ: «God exalted him... as Leader and Savior to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins» (Acts 5:31); and again: «By raising Jesus» (Acts 13:33) «God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus as he promised» (Acts 13:23), and «through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses» (Acts 13:38By raising Jesus» (Acts 13:33) «God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus as he promised» (Acts 13:23), and «through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses» (Acts 13:38by him everyone that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses» (Acts 13:38by the law of Moses» (Acts 13:38).

No - one has the right to comment on whether someone's living by the flesh or the Spirit unless they are commenting on clear outward signs of good or bad — Jesus» encouragement to judge a tree by its fruit has come back to me again and again as I meet «unbelievers» who have much in common with me until we talk about God and then to quote Rob Bell «the God they have turned their back on is not the God I believe.»

Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

1) From what I am reading by Antonio, which I think you are in agreement with, your position boils down to the belief that the only thing a lost man must believe to be born again is that Jesus is the Giver of eternal life.

- people believe the Savior is named «Jesus» and remain unsaved... - that Jesus» name really isn't «Jesus» He was never called «Jesus» in His life... - most people don't know the meaning of the name «Jesus»... - you say a person does not need to know ANYTHING about «Jesus» (e.g., that He is a man, that He is God, that He died for sins and rose again, that He isn't a Mexican somewhere in Tiajuana)-- other than that this guy is the guarantor of eternal life by faith alone... - you discount passages that say the lost are saved by the «preaching of the cross» (1Cor.

Antonio, judging by your reply, it sounds that you believe I am teaching a «false gospel» (if you even use the word «gospel» for the message of salvation anymore) because I believe that to receive eternal life, a person must believe in a «Jesus» who is God (John 8:24, 58) and man (1John 4:2; 2John 7) who died for his sins and rose again (1Cor.

Martin it is not by works that we are saved but by grace that none should boast.Works do not get us us closer to God but good works come from a heart that loves God and desires to please him.John 3:16 is clear if we believe in Jesus Christ we shall have eternal life it is based not on what we do or have done but by the grace of God that has been poured out upon us because of Jesus Christ.God always gives us assurances or promises the condition to receive eternal life is to believe in Jesus Christ as the one who has saved from our sin.Personally i believe that the continued walk will determine our reward from the Lord again its not based on our effort but a trust or faith in God.This does not effect the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

People should be insulted & offended by the fact that some people still believe this ridiculous nonsense that we call «The Bible» and that a television network has the right to slap us in the face with this propaganda once again.

So, before they take off and possibly never see me again, I want to make sure that if they walk away with anything, that it's not me trying to start a friendship, nor trying to explain the sin problem, but instead making clear to them how they can have eternal life as a free gift by just believing in Him for it.

goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?

In the summer, Sanchez agreed personal terms with the Citizens before Arsenal pulled the plug on the deal, with the Gunners having been turned down by Thomas Lemar of Monaco, and the North London club are believed to be on the look - out for a replacement once again prior to allowing him to move on.

Let me state again that I am not at all interested in having games won or lost as a «statistic» for quarterbacks, but I thought I would bring up the record in this case to show how absurd it is to believe that one guy is going to fix a bad team all by himself.

I just can't believe that we have become a joke we always start the season well then have a bumpy December and by the time Feb comes our form has taken a dip and we get kicked out of all competitions except for that valuable top 4 that the board loves so much... ultimately if Arsenal want to compete again we need changes from the bottom up... Kroenke and his board need to go cause clearly for them profits matter more than trophies... Wenger needs to go for his lack of tactical naus guy has been using the same fornation since I was in high school and I'm doing my honours in accounting now... our medical team must all go our players always get injured and they never come back in time (take a look at Santi) players like Coquelin Theo Mesut Gabriel Gibbs Giroud just to name a few need to go they're just not good enough seriously these players lack fight tactical Discipline and tactical awareness... at the end of the day change needs to happen things can't keep going like this for us....

the cheese eating surrender monkey has screwed up again we all know that now so we have to hope to get our real quality players performing to full potential that is ozil sanchez wishere carzola... i am not sure there is a combo with all four and at this moment wilshere and sanchez are the only ones looking pretty decent and as wellbeck needs to be integrated those positions are settled... i am a big ozil fan and really believe wenger is failing to get best out of him by playing him out of position so cant we play some kind of diamond with him at the top feeding to a front line of sanchez and wellbeck... for me neither flamini nor arteta add anything to the team so i think playing to attacking strengths is the only option right now... but its really a ridiculous state of affairs we have been left in... throwing caution to the wind i would go for

I personally believe that Wenger didn't push to have the contracts of Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Ox renewed earlier because he was going to use it as leverage when renegotiating his own deal... so far that tactic has backfired as we know little more about this squad moving forward than we did in May and Wenger clearly misjudged just how important his staying would be to both Sanchez and Ox... I like Lacazette, but I liked him a lot more 2 years ago at 20 million less... Sead might come good but once again he wasn't a necessity buy, except that he was a free transfer and was signed early... another «wag the dog» tactic employed by the powers that be... as for the rest of the roster, very little has changed, except that it's way too big and lacks the cutting edge to take this club to new heights.

However, probably like @JohnSouttar I'd prefer to enjoy what goes down in his last year (I genuinely believe the board will not extend wengers contract again) without the eternal whinging, irrational rants and unrealistic statements made by less well informed and in some cases simply stupid plastics who never go to the emirates, don't possss any manners and live in their self obsessed narcissistic worlds.

We can either take the blue pill, essentially hit reset, wake up believing Arsenal are on the cusp of success repeating the same season of false hope all over again; you know premier league contenders in September, out of the running by march.

C) Do you believe it is sung because it seems EVERY SINGLE CLUB WE PLAY SEEM TO RECOGNISE WHAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT?That by Arsene Wenger remaining as manager of Arsenal Football Club we will NEVER be a major force in football in this country again?

Again, he doesn't seem like the type because that's being defensive about feeling guilty... and Pop always seemed like the type who believes in personal responsibility — and if he felt guilty about anything, I doubt he'd deflect it by being testy... but again, I don't know theAgain, he doesn't seem like the type because that's being defensive about feeling guilty... and Pop always seemed like the type who believes in personal responsibility — and if he felt guilty about anything, I doubt he'd deflect it by being testy... but again, I don't know theagain, I don't know the guy.

All I hear my fellow Gunners spew on the Sanchez issue is that «we should let him go (which I agree) because nobody is bigger than Arsenal (which I find hard to believe) because Wenger has shown time & time again that he's bigger than Arsenal for overstaying even when its totally obvious that he delivers no more & even shows the arrogance of coming to say «nothing the fans do get to him & he will only leave in his own choosing» n still gets cheered on & supported by you blinded deluded lots but yet you chumps still come here to make noise about how nobody is bigger than Arsenal....

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
