Wait a minute, look at your thread ***le, there is nothing in it about faith, or grace.... just believe. You seem to be changing your tune once the fallacy of your theology has been exposed.
I never said anything about obligation, that is your strawman that you created in order to divert attention from your failed argument.
True, but that has nothing to do with your ***ertion.
I actually meant to be amusing, however the problem is that you did not write "Believe"
The fact that this went right over your head only demonstrates your inability to comprehend the simplist of statements, let alone something complicated like the Bible.
You stated all one had to do is to believe to be saved...
Its been put forward to you numerous times that we as Mormons believe in the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible, ergo... We are saved, right?
If not, why not?
This is where you then start adding on all kinds of qualifiers and actions we as Mormons must first do to be saved. Anyone who has read this thread can see your hypocrisy.
This just points to another one of your hypocrisies. 85% of people who call themselves Christian see Faith Alone AKA, "Cheap Grace" as a heresy, yet you still see them as saved. In fact, if you truely believe that works has nothing to do with salvation, then the fact that we and the vast majority of Christian faiths believe they do, and practice such; will not in any way change whether we are saved or not.... So why bother telling us about it, if it changes nothing anyway.
The way I see it, is if we are right in that we need both works and faith to be saved, then we will be saved if we have both, yet you will not be saved because you lack works.
On the other hand if you are right and faith/belief is all that was needed to be saved, then we are still saved because we still at least have faith....
It's a win-win for us, as we have both bases covered.
However, you've only got 50%-50% chance at salvation.
