"Jesus' blood on the altar was the ultimate payment. He made us worthy permanently. When Jesus died on the cross the veil covering the Holy of Holies tore in half. The mercy seat lay exposed to mankind. There is no veil, anymore, between God and man. Jesus ripped it down. But Mormonism has hung up a new one." -Kathleen Baldwin

"It
wasn’t until one day that when I was flat on my back for days, and crying
out to Him, that I realized how all along He had been trying to get my
attention, and the only way to get it was to make me stop dead in my tracks,
flat on my back, and focus on Him and what it was that He was trying to tell
me all along. In
James 4:8 (a) we read: 'Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.' In
James 4:10 we read: 'Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will
lift you up.'" He Gave You Jesus
- by Justjo "Counterfeit, fake, bogus,
imitation, forgery, fraud, copy.... We all recognize these words, as well as
understand their meaning. There are many counterfeits out there. If they were
easy to detect, they would not be called counterfeits. God gave us these
wonderful books in the Bible to test these counterfeits. This is where we find
our markers to detect them. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Gods word...."
