Please do relate to us what you find in the Biblical text--that is not found in the LDS church?

James 2:24---New American Standard Bible (NASB)
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Still showing your ignorance of that text, I see. You have been shown that it comes from the eyes of MAN AND NOT FROM THE EYES OF GOD WHO KNOWS OUR HEARTS, yet you keep trying to 'shlock it in' to your every post as though it is all you think you know. You have chosen to remain ignorant.

NOT found n the lds religious cult?
Rom 4:5-8
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin."
NKJV

Of course you have been shown this too, several times before, but like the lds religious cult, you pretend it is not there and have no explanation for your ignorance.

Why is posting scriptures that defy faith alone theology considered ignorance?

And the scripture shows it comes from the Biblical text:

SURE it does, but NOT IN THE CONTEXT you pretend it comes in when you study the WHOLE p***age.

Just because you own a car does not mean

'Just by turning the key you can get in" means you can get into your car.

Not when the CONTEXT of your conversation is how to get into your house.

Someone once said: TEXT WITHOUT CONTEXT IS PRETEXT. And that is ALL YOU HAVE. Your intentional ignorance of that p***age is underwhelming.

But then TWO can play your little game.

Isa 44:6
"Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
'I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
NKV

So joey smith's MULTIPLE GODS in pgp ABRAHAM 3 and 4 are FALSE GODS that he invented himself. Yep.

The Bible even goes further:

Isa 44:8
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock;
I know not one.'"
NKJV

THE GOD OF THE BIBLE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ANY OF SMITH's 'gods.'

It's in the text.
You can't change it.
It makes smith's text a liar.

The "out of context" seems to be the standard pounding block whenever scriptures are posted that defy faith alone theology. Taint so!! arguments are neither convincing nor compelling, IMO.

Just because you own a car does not mean 'Just by turning the key you can get in" means you can get into your car.

It means that unless you turn the key--the car won't take you anywhere.

John 14:21-24--King James Version (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

When you RIP a sentence out of the context in which the writer wrote it, you are being dishonest. And when you 'pound on it' over and over, you get corrected over and over. Your constant whine about James 2:24 shows your own ignorance about what the text REALLY addresses and WHO it is speaking to and by.

John 14:21-24--King James Version (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.[/QUOTE]

Let's see now. . .WHO is Jesus speaking to, and WHAT is the status of that person? OH YES, Jesus is speaking to a JEW under the OLD LAW BEFORE ANYONE IS REMOVED FROM UNDER IT. He is NOT speaking to a CHRISTIAN.

But of course, none of that matters to someone who is trying to force the p***age into his own private little mouldy mold, now does it? You try very hard to do that.

We CHRISTIANS are not under the 613 OT commandments any more. . .Judas was.

Sorry berrie, but your boat simply doesn't float.

God also told us:

Rom 4:5-8
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin."
NKJV

Do you REALLY BELIEVE your god contradicts himself by saying in one place Faith is accounted to Christians APART FROM WORKS, but in another that works are REQUIRED for salvation?

Sorry berrie, but the REAL GOD doesn't contradict Himself like that.

FAITH saves
WORKS follow faith
WORKS are seen by our fellow men
FAITH is seen by God.

And YOU are following the wrong gods.

I don't find anything in that retort that is anything short of another--- taint so!!!

Revelation 22:14---King James Version (KJV)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

So--is that limited to Jews only?

1 Corinthians 7:19---King James Version (KJV)
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

FAITH saves

In the LDS church--it's God's grace that saves.

Nonsense.

'Tis so.

In context, the Scriptures you post don't defy faith alone theology.

And you know that, otherwise you would also post the Scriptures that we post, such as Eph 2:8-10 and Romans and Galatians which clearly state that salvation is by grace through faith alone and NOT of works. I have never seen you acknowledge that those verses even exist, even though we CONSTANTLY refer you to them and ask you why you don't consider them. You ignore them like this because they clearly prove that your false narrative is wrong.

Even your own "scriptures" (and I use that term loosely) for example, D&C sections 76 and 132, and Moroni 7, clearly demonstrate that faith alone is the only means of salvation. When you post only the verses that say what you want them to say, out of the context, of course they point to disharmony and confusion instead of unity. I can cause the Bible to say anything I want it to that way, as you are clearly doing, but to do so is dishonest.

But that's the whole point of posting them out of context, isn't it? To dishonestly mock and confuse ignorant Christians with a Gospel of confusion when in fact, in context there is unity throughout the Bible? Why would someone knowingly attempt to confound God's Word like this unless their intentions are purely evil?

Then perhaps you could collate the scriptures with faith alone theology for us?

James 2:24--New American Standard Bible (NASB)
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
