As one sectarian put it, through posters that person made:

GOD DON'T MAKE NO JUNK.

Why that person had to talk like a hick from the sticks, in order to make the point, is a mystery, to me. But, the point is well-taken.

Golly, gee! You seem to be like the [sectarian][name of denomination withheld] kid who attended high school, with me, between 45 and 50 years ago. He believed in the "Heavenly Pass-Fail System", too: just like you. And, most people know how poorly THAT works (and what "that" achieves), in those U.S. public school systems that utilize it.

I am good enough because I am a child of God! And Jesus said I was good enough because he is MY Savior and King !!

It's like watching two lord of the ring fanatics bicker over which type of elf is more elfish.....

[a68rebel]

The Thief on the cross was saved by Christ alone right before he died. He did not live a good life or even repent.

Amen, 5 Star. Jesus is King!

1 Cor 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13b ...fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.

14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; BUT HE himself WILL BE SAVED, yet so as through fire.

Saved because judgment of works is not for salvation!

[anonazero]

so nothing is missing from the new testament i.e. the means by which we are to be saved from the wrath of God that we deserve for treason against God?

i recommend you reading galations chapter 1 in its entirety to know exactly how to see if its God talking and exactly how God feels about people that contradict his word yet say its his voice.

joseph smith is in hell for his crimes against God and has lead many mormons there also.

Romans 2:13

Goodness, you can't have read this chapter!! The 1st 2 chapts leave us ENTIRELY guilty before a perfect and holy God. I suspect you simply look for a verse with no regard for the context just to find something you think supports LDS. Well, this doesn't. Not by a longshot.

I'd love to discuss just how well you (like me) have kept the law. You haven't. You can't. Please, 2morrow, try to openly read Galations 3!!! What do you think verse 10 means?? Please answer this one.

Titus 1:16

It's saying what I've said all along, 2morrow. If you claim to have had a conversion - yet there is no evidence of this - perhaps the conversion was a false conversion.

Again... the works are EVIDENCE.

But you cannot gain salvation by the keeping of the law.

Why haven't you addressed any of the scripture points I've made?
