Hebrews 5:4-6
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a...
I don't believe that works are meaningless. I believe that God requires us to have faith in Him and as you have stated, faith without works is dead. So in order to have a true faith, one must perform good works. They are part of the path which leads us to the grace of God. However, they...
I believe that when one takes in the account of the Garden of Eden and the fall of man that they must also take into account the following facts:
1. Before the creation of the earth God knew the end from the beginning and that nothing that transpired in the Garden of Eden came as a surprise to...
Matthew 11:29-30
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus did not find his yoke to be too hard. Here he declares that his yoke is easy and the burden is light and...
I believe that through faith we can access the saving grace of Jesus Christ. However, without Jesus' atoning sacrifice, no matter how much faith we have in something, we cannot be saved. I believe that Jesus requires us to have faith unto good works before he will grant his saving grace upon...
2 Nephi 25:23
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.

Jesus is the creator of this world and is one among the Godhead that we call God. He is the only human being to come to this earth and live a perfectly sinless life and set the example for all others on the list and for all mankind. He is the redeemer of all mankind of which none of the others...
What are the teachings of Allah? Does he teach us to love one another and that all mankind are to be treated with dignity and respect? Does Allah love Israelites and Americans? Is he the Creator and Father of all mankind? Does Allah believe that we should seek peace in the world?
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into ALL truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He lead us into ALL truth.
Doctrine and Covenants 29:34
Wherefore, verily I say...
One of the purposes of this life is for mankind to learn to choose good and become a good being in and of himself. God has given us the law that we might learn and contemplate the goodness of the law and choose of our own free will to accept it into our hearts and live by its principles.
How can you say that it is not what my Church teaches? I quoted from our scriptures the following verses:
Doctrine and Covenants 77:6-7
6 Q. What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed on the back with seven seals? A. We are to understand that it contains the...
This is why it is important to understand that the seven seals represent 1000 year periods. The apostles were killed at the beginning of the fifth seal:
Revelation 6:9
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for...
