Does God Lead People to Other Churches?
Posted in Church, tagged Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, Mormon, Spirituality, truth on February 28, 2008 | 17 Comments »
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints boldy declares itself as the only true and living church. Furthermore, Joseph Smith boldly states that God the Father and Jesus Christ declared that the christian churches only had a portion of the truth and that he should join none of them. Therefore, The Church of Jesus Christ (Mormon) [...]
Remove the Dark Glasses and See as a Child
Posted in Love, Spirituality, tagged Bible, Book of Mormon, children, Christian, God, Jesus, LDS, Mormon, Moroni, Nature, Spirituality on February 25, 2008 | 7 Comments »
In a recent post, entitled “Making our Hearts a Manger,” one of my friends, Brad Trnavsky, shared an interesting insight. He commented that ”when we were children all of our hearts were like that (a place for the Savior)… As you get older it’s harder to see past our own bias and prejudice.” Later that day when I [...]
Grace vs. Works Followup
Posted in Christianity, tagged Christianity, God, Grace, Jesus, Salvation, Works on February 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I recently posted a blog on Grace vs. Works (http://graceforgrace.com/2008/02/19/do-you-believe-living-a-good-life-is-more-important-than-grace-or-less/). I wanted to highlight a blog that answers this question very effectively. I like this post because it not only answers the question, but other scriptures that have lead people to debate this topic. Check out the blog here: http://thoughtsonlds.blogspot.com/2008/01/thoughts-on-grace-vs-works.html
Do you believe living a good life is more important than grace, or less?
Posted in Christianity, tagged Bible, Book of Mormon, God, Grace, Jesus, Scripture on February 19, 2008 | 11 Comments »
I recently saw this question on Yahoo Answers. Below is my response: Romans 3:23 states “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Therefore we need God’s grace and mercy no matter what to save us. However further scripture states everyone who dies (so everyone: ) will stand before God and be judged [...]
Washington Post Article on LDS Church part 2 (Retention)
Posted in Church, Latter-day Saints, tagged Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jesus, LDS Church, Mormons on February 19, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Retention This is part two of my series on the Washington Post Article. I recently wrote a post entitled “Why do People Leave the LDS Church?” I included a link to posts written by John Dehlin on what his opinion is as far as why people may leave. He suggests that many people don’t know [...]
LDS Church vs. Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonites) vs. RLDS (Community of Christ)
Posted in Christianity, tagged Book of Mormon, Jesus, Joseph Smith, Latter-day Saints, LDS, Mormons, RLDS on February 18, 2008 | 35 Comments »
Recently I was having a conversation with one of my friends and she said that having a testimony of the Book of Mormon was essential in order to stay in the LDS church. However, there are other denomonations that believe and support the Book of Mormon. The RLDS (now Community of Christ) church and the [...]
What Books do You Recommend?
Posted in Spirituality, tagged Spirituality on February 18, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I came across a pretty cool blog the other day. It is someone who writes reviews about books on Spirituality. I noticed they didn’t have anything on Mormons so the other day I left a post asking if they’d ever looked into any books on Mormonism. The next day they posted the Book of Mormon [...]
Does Mormonism Cover truths from all Religions?
Posted in Latter-day Saints, Mormon Christians, Spirituality, tagged Bible, Christians, Daoism, Jesus, Jews, Mormons, Muslim, Religion, Spirituality, Temples on February 15, 2008 | 33 Comments »
”The concept of a restoration is biblical and is frequently spoken of in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Peter spoke of the anticipated ‘times of of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.’ (Acts 3:21). Latter-Day Saints understand [...]
Washington Post Article on LDS Church part 3 (Dress Standards and Culture)

Dress Standards and Culture This is part three of my series on the Washington Post Article. The article mentions that the LDS church has fallen from the highest converting Christian church in America. The official LDS website states the church is the second-highest converting church in America. The article suggests that other faiths are “willing [...]
