For by grace ye are saved... right?

D&C 137:7-10 - "For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desires of their hearts."

Oh Joseph...  Did you read the Bible?

Ephesians 2:8-9 "⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
   ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Hebrews 4:16 "16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need"

Galations 1:3, "3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,"

Galations 1:6, "6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:"

Acts 15:11, "11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."

Romans 6:14, "14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

2 Thessalonians 1:12, "12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Galations 5:4. "4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."

Ephesians 1:2,"7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"

Titus 3:7, "7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

Romans 3:24, "24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

John 1:17, "17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

Galations 2:21, "21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."  - One of my personal faves!

2 Corinthians 6:1, "1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain."

Ephesians 2:5, "5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"

Ephesians 4:7, "7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ."

1 Corinthians 1:4, "4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;"


There are more if you would like... but I think this sufficiently makes my point.  There are a lot more verses that pertain to grace through faith, than the other way around.  Please Mormons, don't put the cart before the horse.  Works are FINE!  That's not what I'm saying, but don't do them just to win favor with the Lord.  What would be that ONE thing that got you into Heaven if that's the case?  Do you know what that ONE thing is?  What would tip the scales in your favor?  Then, what if you sinned again... are you back where you started?  Do you not think that if works were what were required for our salvation there would be enough Biblical verses to back that up?  There aren't.  Only Joey's verses... Does that strike anyone as odd?  Suddenly the Lord would change His mind?  It clearly says in the Bible that He does not change His mind. 

Do you see where Mormonism clearly contradicts Christianity, yet LDS love to be called Christians, but you disagree with our teachings and doctrine.  Then don't call yourselves Christian!  It's that simple.  I don't agree with Buddhism, so I'm not a Buddhist.  Simple.  Why is that so hard to comprehend?  If you don't agree with us, then say so.  Stand strong in that, but don't be wishy washy.  Yes, we're Christians, but we dont' agree with a word you say.  Don't use Christian terms in order to lure people to believe in your doctrine.  Don't tell people you believe in Jesus if it's a completely different Jesus.  Just be honest.  Sorry for the rant.  I didn't realize I had so much to say on the subject....

And...

JOEY SMITH!!!  What is this???

JST, Romans 4:4

4 Now to him who is justified by the law of works, is the reward reckoned, not of grace, but of debt.

It should actually read, "Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
