Education Week: How are we saved?

Grace and Works | 4:43 p.m. Aug. 20, 2009

Trying to seaprate Works from Grace is like trying to separate the fact to have a chicken, we must have an egg. To get an egg, we need a chicken.

Both Faith (Grace) and Works and a Chicken and the required egg are both examples of how there can't be the One without the Other. Many things in live came as pairs.

Paul | 5:04 p.m. Aug. 20, 2009

I always think it is so funny how Mormons and Christians argue over being saved... then they die, and I attend their funerals, and they don't look saved from death or anything to me! At one funeral of a Mormon friend, I thought to myself "A fat lot of good all that Tithing did him!"

Ye of little faith. You may someday be sorry to "joke" about the next life. You may get there and see that it IS REAL, through the Atonement of Jesus, AND you, Paul, Haven't gotten ready.

Saul of Tarsus, who became the "Paul" of the New Testament, Did get ready. He had an experience
that changed his life and he went about Doing Good. Perhaps you should be looking for answers and reasons, rather than making childish, adolescent, type jokes.

It's your Eternal Life, It's your Choice. It's up to you. Wake Up...
