LOOKS TO ME, WORKS IS PRETTY IMPORTANT BUT WHO AM I TO NOTICE THAT MOST SO CALLED CHRISTIANS TODAY DON'T BELIEVE THAT. I GUESS ITS JUST EASIER TO HAVE A PAID MINISTRY AND PUT THE HANDS ON THE TV AND SEND THE MONEY IN. WORK? HOW DARE THOSE MORMONS THEY MIGHT END UP DOING SOME GOOD.

[BEggerton]

@scottwins2 To those verses: Amen! No one says that works are not important, that we shouldn't do them, or that a true Christian will have them. That is not the point. The point is that, just as the Jews depended upon their righteous works through the Mosaic Law for justification, so do many LDS depend upon their own works for right standing by God. This is not to say they don't believe it takes grace to be saved - they do - however, they believe that their works are necessary for salvation.

[BEggerton]

@scottwins2 Galatians 3:1-3: " You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?"

So basically all I am saying is that works do not contribute to salvation, they are a result of salv.

[scottwins2]

@BEggerton John 5:17

"But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work".

and I shall work, sit onyour hands if you want. "Faith without works is dead".

[BEggerton]

@scottwins2 First of all: I agree with those verses. Works are a result of salvation. If you aren't doing any, then a heart check is necessary. Secondly: You are working for God's approval. The Bible clearly teaches that we have God's approval ALREADY in Christ. Therefore to continue to work "for approval" goes totally against God's grace. Thirdly: What makes you think that those "works" talked about in the Bible is Baptism for the dead and other temple work, as the LDS believe?

Did this film never get off the cutting floor? Where can I go to see it? It looks great.

[BEggerton]

@blackblade789 We are just now nailing down distribution! We're working with Living Hope Ministries, the same company that did the Bible vs. the Book of Mormon documentary. It is amazing to see what God has been doing through this film so far, and only a handful of people have seen the completed product as of right now.

@yellowcorba1 I believe these verses but the interpretation is twisted...I would challenge a mormon to read the book of Galatians (KJV) with an open heart and mind and in prayer seek the truth of God's Word. Galatians is a short book that addresses so many mormon questions and doctrines and can easily be read in one sitting.

[yellowcorba1]

@ssuperbill2 Yeah but if you don't Do good deeds and have faith your heart is not right with god and all your prayers are vain. Mathew 25: 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. John 14: 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. He also said in Isaiah that people draw close to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

[scottwins2]

@BEggerton I know of no Mormons that believe in works alone as you have stated. This is not our doctrine.

As for right standing by God? If obeying the Ten Commandments, the Great Commandments, His teachings in The Bible wrtten down by the deciples, Jesus requires works, Why the Saduccees said, "we don't commit adultry"! He said, "that is not enough". Most minsters today teach only a fraction of the Bible it seems since they always dodge Works, If acknowleged it would justify, The MORMONS!

[ssuperbill2]

@yellowcorba1 Thats a silly question....of course we do! But this debt of sin is not paid or made right by doing good things... When a child gets a grease stain on their new shirt, all attempts by the child can be made to clean up the mess but the reality is they only spread it around, cover it up or try to play dumb about it. See Isa 64:6 to see what God thinks of our good deeds in hopes of tipping the scale or paying our debt for sin.

[yellowcorba1]

@ssuperbill2 But are we all not prone to sin?

[ssuperbill2]

@scottwins2 Its called Love....its not a payment, a debt owed, a chance to get in good with God, to earn a greater thrown, to get a temple recommend, or for honor but in Christianity works = Love.

[ssuperbill2]

@yellowcorba1 Its easy because Jesus Paid it all! If Jesus is the Lord of your life can you dishonor Him with no shame or repentance? Stealing as a follower of Christ is like having an affair and claiming to love your wife.... Works are evidence of Faith, not a payment for justification... If you examine James 2:17 and Ephesias 2:8-9 they can go hand in hand for a cohesive meaning (but mormons refuse Eph because it opposes their doctrine.) Choose mormon doctrine or Word of God

[yellowcorba1]

so all i have to do is believe and I don't have to do good works?? so in other words I can have faith in jesus and steal and do whatever I want? this should be easy.

[scottwins2]

These guys never have read John or the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus implies WORKS everywhere! the way they teach what Mormons believe is not right, correct, fact or accurate.

[scottwins2]

@BEggerton Point is, I never ever here a Born Again, Bible Thumper or Minister of the Faith!!! Ever, ever talk about WORKS! Ever.
