Subject: An interesting discussion/question |
Bible Note: Friend- maybe this will make a point and maybe not. You wrote: "If Joe Shmo said the sky is blue but Joe was a sinner would that mean the sky is not blue?" Actually, the sky is not blue, bear with me; it simply appears blue because of how malecules scatter the light. And so it appears orange or red at sunset because we are at a different angle and the light is scattered differently (or something scientific like that). My point in this post is that God's word is truth but some have a wrong interpretation of it. Far worse than that are those who have added false teachings to it. Understanding color as we see it is scientifically discerned. Understanding God's word is Spiritually discerned. Your "sharing the footsteps" of jamison as you declared, might be putting the horse before the cart. He mentioned the Book of Morman and that Mormans believe the "exact same thing" regarding justification and salvation. Well, jamison is simply wrong. They do not at all believe the "exact same thing". Study this for yourself. I work with a practicing Morman of a very famous family from the Morman church. She assures me that what the Holy Bible teaches about justification and salvation is not "exactly" what they believe. They add what a certain man who liked to play with Earth Stones added. But study that for yourself if you care to. Besides, that's only half of the issue. The teachings of a lost cult might have an agreement on some point with Christianity. Not an issue. The issue is with the many (although there need only be one) contradictions their teachings have with essential doctrine, specifically regarding who God is, who man is in relation, and the nature of justification, sanctification, and salvation as taught in Scripture. You'd do better not to align yourself with others so quickly if I may suggest. In all honesty, just looking out for you. Jeff God Bless, Jeff |
