Discussions on Religion and Theology

• 10 hours ago More importantly is the fundamental reason Mormonism separates the Cross of Christ from their religion. Why may you ask does the Mormon theology eliminate the Cross of Christ?? It is vitally important to understand that Mormon theology has only ONE agenda. What is that agenda?? Mormon agenda is to completely separate you from the truth of Gods grace and love that is signified by the Cross of his payment for out sins. Every aspect of Mormon theology is to put distance between Gods love and his grace and our salvation. The cross of Life not DeathSeparation from God—now overcome. Physical death remains, but it no longer separates us from life with God. is the real message that Mormon doctrine is hiding with that bloody axe of lies. Thanks for your courage brother and may we all pray for our Mormon friends now in bondage of Satan's lies and deception of false teachings. Show less REPLY0 replies2

• 1 day ago (edited) I wonder if Shawn feels guilty at all for crying about Mitt Romney as a Mormon running for Office back in 2012. He said all the Evangelicals are voting for Romney(wasn't true) then Obama wins and becomes the most corrupt administration in US history. His administration corrupted the FBI, CIA, NSA, circuit courts, etc. Shawn said that "Christians shouldn't be political and should vote for the lesser of two evils" back in 2012. He was essentially saying it was wrong to vote Romney but Obama is ok not great. Mormon isn't ok but a Satanist no problem lol. Now with the Conservatives blatantly having their right to vote taken away from them Shawn says "We shouldn't be political". This guy is a Democrat obviously which is fine but you were wrong to try to play the holier than thou card during the 2012 election. What about our rights being robbed Shawn? You glad your leftist nutbag commies robbed the American voter? Try to be consistent Shawn. But ofcourse there is nothing wrong with the left or liberals it's always the Conservatives. We Conservatives would like to be able to vote you know we pay taxes should be able to vote lol. Where is the outrage like there was for Romney? Fakeness is what I see. Hypocrisy doesn't do it justice. What a joke.

Cameron stolhand

• 2 days ago The Bible teaches us to be capitalist and teaches that socialism and communism is a sinMissing the mark of faith and love—no punishment, just lost growth or peace.. There are many passages in the Bible telling Christians to be giving with their possessions. Giving away possessions requires ownership something only a capitalist can have. Communists do not believe in ownership. Socialist do not believe in giving they believe in redistribution. Redistribution is when you decide what to do with someone else's possession. In the Bible this is called coveting and is very well explained as a sin that we are commanded not to do in Exodus 20:17. Communists and socialist believe that people are inherently good. Capitalists and Christian's believe that people are inherently evel.

When did Paul run into Jesus? Was it during his resurrection time on earth?

Blotted Out or Added In – NBP 3 [10L]

Eli Sheets • 4 days ago
Paul ran into Jesus on his way to persecute the Church in Damascus. He saw a vision of Jesus and was blinded temporarily by it. Shortly after he spent a lengthy period of time in the wilderness to be with Hod alone.

I also remember in your discussion with James White that you said "I represent the common man". Dude I'm as common a man as you can get and I agreed with James mostly that night. I think you put labels on the conservative Christians that aren't necessarily true. Think of it like this. "To you" I'd be a Confederate soldier and you a Union soldier. Those Confederate soldiers had families, parents, children, emotions, they weren't animals. They were pawns in war. A lot of them weren't even fighting about slavery they just were proud of their states. Your "enemies" have a soft spot. They hurt just like you man. Just because a few nutjob deeply Conservative self righteous ignorant people rubbed you the wrong way doesn't mean every Conservative is like that. I'd argue the vast majority are not.

So is your mission or purpose to prove a church wrong, or to warship and preach of the lord? Sounds like you’ve set a life long mission to only talk smack on other churches. Anyway

Interesting comment from someone whose screen name is "Hillary Lies." Is your mission to prove Hillary wrong, or worship and preach of the Lord? Sounds like you've set a lifelong mission to only talk smack on other political perspectives. =D

Hillary Lies • 3 days ago
@Marsage actually she does lie. That’s a fact. And no I don’t go around waisting time trying to prove her a liar. Not to mention trying to make a living off of bad mouthing another person or group of spiritual people. If your following this guy Shawn, I would highly caution you to really think about that decision. Take 5 seconds and really really truly look into his eyes and you’ll see the deep darkness that flows through that guy. He’s bad news

Marsage • 3 days ago
@Hillary Lies and actually, the things Shawn says about churches are true. He's not making a living off of bad mouthing people. You are wasting your time trying to bad mouth him. Judge not that ye be not judged and take the log out of your own eye before trying to take the splinter out of his.

Hillary Lies • 3 days ago
@Marsage wow, sounds like he’s taken down another:( very sad for you to be following anything Shawn says. Do yourself a favor, I’m not joking about looking into his eyes. I promise you this, if you follow the spirit to even the least degree, the lord will show you the darkness that truly flows through Shawn. I know people in SLC Utah that know him very well and have witnessed him and his true objectives off camera. He had shared to many people that he was offended by someone in the LDS Faith and decided from that point forward that he would make a living off of bad mouthing the LDS church. Look into His eyes and you will be shown (EVIL) to the most sickened degree. Anyway

Chris E • 2 days ago
@Hillary Lies I'm guessing you are LDS? I think you need to use that power of discernment you have and spend a few minutes looking into the eyes of the man in the mirror. Honestly.

Eli Sheets • 2 days ago (edited)
@Marsage How can somebody say Hillary doesn't lie? Have you been around America lately. One side ROBBED another side of its right to vote. "Political sides" that's nonsense. This is about the Constitution. You probably don't like that either because it was written by men just like the Bible was.

Discussion on Religious Perspectives

Sheets, where did I say she doesn't lie? The point was to show "Hillary Lies" hypocrisy. He/she complains because Shawn exposes the truth about Mormonism while they do the same with Hillary, only they call it bashing or attacking. Why is it ok to expose one kind of liar but not another?

@Chris E point is, I’m not attempting to make a living off of bad mouthing anyone, Shawn is. Do you know much about him? I’m telling you this and it’s the truth, stay away from him and anything he promotes. You sound like a good person and I would hate to see him take advantage of you like he’s done to hundreds of people. Have you looked into his eyes yet??? Like pause the video and really really truly look, Stare into good eyes and you’ll soon see as very bad evil man with only an objective to take others money.

The Role of Personal History in Beliefs

Eli Sheets
• 4 days ago (edited)
I disagree with you on a whole host of topics in Christianity. I'm on the exact opposite of the spectrum. But I consider you a follower of Christ, I think you are somebody who knows a good deal more than me on some things in the Bible, I think your hyper grace movement is a direct impact from you being a Mormon for 40 years. I had the exact opposite problem. I grew up in the grace movement with no sense of direction, leadership, discipline, pursuit of righteousness, etc. I feel a good amount of what happens to you in your younger years kinda dictates your flavor of Christianity.

Do you think it's fair to actually know someone's position on a subject before you make accusations? How much do you know about what Shawn teaches? Shawn actually teaches the need for living a sanctified life. Heard it with my own ears. Why do you accuse him of teaching"hyper grace"? I've a feeling it's because of his teaching on salvation. Do you fully understand it? Just because you believe that God will save all, which the Bible does in fact teach, doesn't mean that you also teach it doesn't matter how you live your life. If you have a personal relationship with Christ then you will be led by the Spirit to live a life of love which ultimately leads to sanctification. Shawn has never condoned sin in any way. Maybe you're just in shock because he doesn't believe it's our position to point out the sin in others?

@Chris E When you have an introductory video where it looks real dark, dressed like a hooligan, dressed real dark and not of the spirit, when you have a video hammering a "no" sign on churches, when you call all church leaders trash, call evangelicals garbage, and say your way is the truth and "biblical"(love hearing that even though scholars with Masters in NT Greek majority disagree with Shawn), etc you'd think that'd be a concern. You wonder why I'm concerned about his Gospel message?

@Chris E And the Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah. Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, “‘Return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the Lord your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares the Lord. Return, O faithless children, declares the Lord; for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. “‘And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. And when you have multiplied

Prophecy and Faith in Biblical Teachings

In those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather to it, to the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow their own evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and together they shall come from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers for a heritage. “‘I said, How I would set you among my sons, and give you a pleasant land, a heritage most beautiful of all nations. And I thought you would call me, My Father, and would not turn from following me. Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband, so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel, declares the Lord.’”
Jeremiah 3:11-?20?

Faith and Miracles in the New Testament

And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
Matthew 15:22-?28?

Understanding Parables and Prophecies

Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’
Matthew 13:10-?15?

Spirituality and Division

The wonders of spirituality and division. Without division we would be lost slaves to powerful religious institutions I think. Division may not be perfect but it opens doors to many opportunities for exploration, discovery, and so much more. My belief today as a Ex Mormon Yeshua Christ was willing to die for our FREEDOM. Truly taking ME away what I BELIEVE now, the SO called law of GOD = MOSES, JOSEPH SMITH etc. We should always stand up for our beliefs but always in LOVE. That is the Yeshua I believe in and celebrate today.

I agree I’m a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. But also grew up catholic and southern baptist. So I’m a born-again but still LDS. Without opposition, we would all be a clone a monolithic zombie. We love God and neighbor otherwise we are cowards and hypocrites to the faith.

I just don't see how you can compare God's Law to Joseph Smith. Do you consider Moses like Joseph Smith?

Yeshua's Message

YESHUA WORDS: 26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is NOT a greater PROPHET than John the Baptist: but he that is LEAST in the kingdom of GodGod’s spiritual reign—fulfilled and present, not political or future. is greater than HE. LUKE 7 NOTE: WHAT IS THE MESSAGE HERE FROM YESHUA. (MOSES MAYBE IS NOT MUCH OF PROPHET.)

All your questions are framed with presuppositions and defense? I grew up in the church. No one I know compared gods law to Joe Smith?

We know Moses was a prophet. We also believe Joe Smith was a prophet of this dispensation.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Richard.

I know what the LDS believe. All I can do is pray for your salvation. Clearly, you have no sense of God's word. You are preaching a different Gospel and everyone knows it. Wake up my friend.

No, I’m not. Did you read my comments? I grew up in three churches. I’m a born-again Christian and I’m LDS. Jesus Christ is my savior too. Who is saved and who is not is above my pay grade. I don't know you but I practice the first two great commandments. Come on man. Have a little faith in people. I wish you the best. I would hope you’d do likewise. Merry Christmas brother!!!

Focus on Love

First and second commandments say it all: love the Lord your God with all of your heart, mind, and body, and love your neighbor as yourself. If I continuously focus on my love for God and my love for my neighbor, generally everything falls into place and I can enjoy peace and contentment. I am a centrist but tend toward orthodoxy for my own personal needs.
