1 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | jamison | 204985 | ||
Doc, You can't just shoot down an idea because some other group might loosely agree with it. That is bad logic and very misleading to others reading your post. You have tried to lump me in with other religions in an attempt to discredit me. Anyone should be able to see the flaw there. For example, you believe that Jesus Christ came and died for sinners and that believing on Him is the way to be justified and go to heaven. Well, if I recall correctly (and I do since I have read the book of Mormon) that the Mormons believe the exact same thing. Does that mean you are a heretic or cult leader because one of your doctrines happens to coincide with one of theirs? I can give you more examples if necessary, but I think one is enough. If you want to point out an error in what I have written, please do. I am always looking to learn. But don't use silly arguments that don't hold up in an attempt to make me look foolish. To answer your question, I don't affiliate with any particular theological disposition or denomination or whatever. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do know the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I don't even agree with all the theology of the church I attend. I am not trying to line up with any predetermined theology. I am trying to line up with Christ. jamison |

Jamison :: I've read your posts. They contain a great deal about so-called soul sleep, a topic that has been treated of on this Forum a number of times and denounced as unscriptural for an equal number of times. Another fruit of my labors garnered from reading your posts is the distinct impressions that an inordinate number of them appear to promote Mormonism, another topic that has been treated of on this Forum and dismissed as being a cult promulgating another gospel than that which is laid down in Scripture. ....... This Forum subscribes to the reformed doctrine of sola scriptura, which by definition excludes other sources that purport to be divinely inspired, among which is the Book of Mormon........ You are arguing certain points of view freely, yet you cloak yourself in secrecy, even to the point of failing to divulge your church affiliation or to put as much as a single word about yourself in the personal profile section which is provided for all registrants. ....... You seem to embrace Mormonism. Are you yourself a Mormon, or do you believe and teach the doctrines of the LDS? You seem to embrace "soul-sleep." Do you believe that doctrine? ..... You accuse Doc, a long-time and respected contributor to this Forum of using bad logic, of misleading others, and of attempting to discredit you. He has done nothing of the kind. On the contrary, he merely is trying to juxtapose your opinions with what Scripture teaches so that all who read these pages may be enabled to compare your opinions and points of view with what Scripture teaches. I don't impugn your motives; I don't even pretend to understand precisely what they are or where you purport to go in your posts to this Forum. But I do kindly ask you to give earnest heed to what this Forum is about by refreshing yourself thoroughly on its aims and mission, and especially on its clear and specific guidelines to registrants....... A common thread that I've detected in your posts, including the response to Doc to which I'm attaching this post, frankly reminds me of something Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, with which I will close this post to you: "I am amazed that those who think so much of what the Holy Spirit can teach them often think so little of what the Holy Spirit has taught others." My 73 years of life on this earth, 59 of them as a follower of Christ, teach me to savor the wisdom of Spurgeon's words, and I commend them to your serious consideration also. --Hank | ||||||
