October 11 –– Rejecting God’s Sovereignty. Luke 17:20-21 “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Mormons have rejected the sovereignty of God by ignoring how His kingdom is built. Not only do they teach they can build the kingdom of God, they also believe He needs their help. Why would the Almighty God who brought all things into existence need help from those He created?

“Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood, and the home. The Lord needs us to be brave, steadfast, and immovable warriors who will defend His plan and teach the upcoming generations His truths.” — Bonnie L. Oscarson, “Defenders of the Family Proclamation”

Hi Abraham,
Thanks for stopping by…
So what parts are missing? The fullness of the Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-6. Paul lays out the Gospel very clearly. Paul also warns us about false gospels in Galatians 1: 6-9.
As for proper Priesthood authority, the Christian Church has a much better authority than a sinful man, claiming to be a priesthood holder. Our Priesthood Authority is none other than Christ Himself. And I sure wouldn’t want to stand before Him (Jesus) one day and have to explain I took authority that doesn’t belong to me. Please read Hebrews chapters 7-9, it explains the Melchizedek priesthood in detail.
Christians don’t go around saying my church is the only true church. That’s a pretty lofty statement that needs to be backed up with facts.
The “body of Christ” is unified in the core beliefs, the denomination doesn’t matter.
The core beliefs (non- negotiable) are…
The Bible is God’s sufficient, and infallible Word, the definition of the Trinity…who God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are. We are sinners, and our ONLY hope is in Christ ALONE, His work was finished on the cross, and salvation is by grace alone and can’t be earned. And Christ’s church has continued since He established it. Jesus NEVER let His Church fail, no apostasy…If you believe Jesus failed, then you believe in a different Jesus, the Bible warns us repeatedly about false christs. False christs don’t have the power to save you.
Please talk to a Christian pastor, and learn about Christianity. Pastors have been trained at accredited Bible Universitys. Which also shows that no matter which church he pastors, the training is all consistent.
Also please speak to a Rabbi, and have him explain the Temple to you. Nothing that is done in the LDS temple ever happened in the Jewish Temple. And Christians never had a temple[s].
If you want to claim to be the “one true church” then you need to educate yourself about what the Christian Church is all about. Otherwise you are merely parroting what you have been told. For example…if an algebra teacher puts an equation on the board and then puts the answer next to it, the teacher didn’t teach you anything right? You were told the answer, you weren’t taught how to work out the equation step by step. The LDS church has told you what Christians believe. Now it’s up to you to do your homework and learn what Christianity is, from Christians.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.
I would love to hear your thoughts on what I brought up.
Looking forward to your reply.
Melissa
