451: Trinity proof texts: Isaiah 6:1-9 + John 12:41
The section focuses on Christ being glorified, with the Glory he had before creation (Jn 17:5) and how men were to believe in Jesus as the Saviour of the world. John quotes from Isaiah several times about how men could not believe in Jesus. The "Him" in John 12:41 can only be Jesus: when Jesus was glorified v16 the Son of Man to be glorified v23 Father, glorify Your name (by glorifying Jesus) v28 they were not believing in Christ v37 Lord, who has believed our report v38 to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed v38 these things Isaiah ... Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him (Christ), but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him (Christ), for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God. And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. "He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. " John 12:37-45 II. Plural pronouns used of God ... ...

453: How to be attain Sanctification!
God's holiness is one of the dominant themes of the Old Testament. Isaiah says Jehovah is "the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy" Isa. 57: 15. His holiness is so overpowering that nothing is comparable to him. "To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? saith ... The New Testament also gives great emphasis to sanctification. The Apostle Paul's prayer for Christians at Thessalonica was: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" I Thess. 5: 23. One of the greatest announcements is the "good news that every person who responds to Jesus ... For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" Phil. 2: 12-13. This is the same balance between the human and the divine that Paul reveals when he talks in terms of Christ's sanctification of the church.

Was Jesus Christ really born of a Virgin?

... is more pleasing to God because it seems to be more pleasing to them. The Bible is our only authority in matters of religion; not our opinions, emotions, conscience, or human feelings. In Colossians 3:16-17 we read, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus." In verse 16 we are told to sing. In the very next verse we are told, "whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus." Notice it says to "do all". Everything we do in religion is to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus. To "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" means that we must do everything by His authority. We can certainly sing by the authority of the Lord. But where would we go in the New Testament for authority for instrumental music in the worship of the church? It just isn't there. ... ...

A few might even deny that He ever existed. The Lord conducted His own poll by asking his followers, "Who does the public say that I am" (Luke 9:18)?

478: Living Together Common-law Unmarried
Moreover, other professed Christians condone the practice if "they really care for one another". In the Bible such a relationship outside of marriage is called fornication, or if it involves the married, adultery. Just to set the record straight on what the Bible teaches about it we will quote Paul: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolater, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor deviant sex practitioners, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." (I Cor. 6:9-11) There it is! Those living together without the benefit of marriage are lost and cannot be saved unless they repent. This is blunt, but if one believes the Bible it is true.

"A Synopsis of the Church of Christ Beliefs and Practices as Compared to Other Latter Day Saint Churches" By Sheldon, William A., "Apostle" of the Temple Lot Mormons: During the lifetime of the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., the church he founded by the direction of God underwent many changes which proved to be a factor in the division which occurred after his death in 1844. It is argued that the church is subject to change because of growth and changing times. This is only partially true. The basic and ultimate requirements must remain inflexible, or else the statement "I am the Lord, I change not"-is found to be false (see Malachi 3:6, Utah D&C 20:17, RLDS D&C 17:4).

The church recognized the mystery of the person of Christ, but rather than debating the mystery it adored and revered it. This mystery aspect of the person of our Lord has never been lost in genuine Christianity. However, it has often been pressed into the background. This is what happened during the fourth through eighth centuries, when the person of Jesus Christ became a subject of intense theological debate not always very spiritual in character. There were three outstanding reasons for the church's concern with the question: a. The spread of the gospel to the Gentiles introduced Greeks into the church. The educated Greek mind was highly studious and intellectual. It loved to reflect on difficult problems in theology and philosophy. b. Greek philosophy made a sharp distinction between the spiritual and the material. Becoming a Christian did not ... ...
