Farbin, I'll respond once I have a little more time.

Ok.

You must not have had free time. And I moved into a new house, been here three days, and had three sets of LDS folks come out to say hello, even jumped my locked fence down the private drive to wander around looking for us. They knocked and no one answered, so the wandered into the back yard. They found me barbecuing with a beer in hand and stopped them in their tracks. Invited me to church without even asking about my current beliefs, just assumed I needed theirs. I can't wait til I have man eating dogs on the loose.

totally forgot all about this thread.

Says who? That is a Catholic belief. Read the NT in its original Aramaic/ Koine Greek form, with those specific languages definitions.

Faith in Him is all he is looking for, nothing more. Anything else is a concept/pretext of Man being placed on His Word.


It's not a "get out of jail free" card, it's God knowing how he created man, and beginning a new testament to replace the laws of the OT. Why else did he allow his son to die? Otherwise, your killing him all over again.

You're obviously into religion and know more about the inner workings, history, etc than I do, but I'll try my best.

You're right that we aren't obligated to not sin. It's nowhere in the Bible (from what I can remember) that says we have to do "this, this, and this".
Faith is all He wants.

However, the Ten Commandments state certain things that we should abstain from doing. Like I said, it's not stated that they are rules that we cannot do, but it's more of people choosing not to do them.

This is by far the most polished response I could've given, but I think you know where I'm trying to go with this.
