The Commandments In Mormon 9: 9
The commandments are absolute pronouncements of right and wrong in all situations In Mormon 9:9 it says: "For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness." This expresses that for every situation the commandments are the same. There is a clear example that shows that the commandments are the same regardless of the situation. We are commanded to be baptized for the remission of our sins. It is a requirement to enter the waters of baptism to be a member of the church. However, why Jesus Christ, being perfect, without sins, was baptized? There is a Primary song called Baptism that says ""To fulfill the law," said Jesus, When the Baptist questioned why." Our older brother was obedient even

    The Mormon Sect: A Comparative Analysis

    I too had difficulty narrowing down the search to just one religion. I ended up comparing the Mormon Sect to general Christians. After reviewing all the monotheistic religions it does seem that the God they all worship seem to be relatively similar in one way or another. There is not enough evidence to call it the same God, as each and every religion has picked and chosen what they want to believe and have geared their religions to fit their own needs through the different cultures and locations throughout the world. This is why we have Catholic, Mormon, Lutheran, Orthodox, Baptist, and the list goes on. They have all branched off of one another because they did not like some of the doctrine that were being practiced.…

    Euthyphro's Dilemm Unrestricted Divine Command Theory

    This can be done as I have explained, by considering what is deemed right or wrong to be a “necessary” truth instead of being determined entirely by God commands. Therefore, adopting a restricted view of divine command theory can arguably avoid the issues that arise from Euthyphro’s…

    Explain what is meant in the Bible by the phrase "God is good."

    The Ten Commandments show us what good is according to God. The Ten Commandments explain to us how we should act and what our religious and social duties should be. God could be said to be showing his love for this through these laws. Another common biblical image of God is that of a judge to whom we all answer to, however, if God is seen as a judge “Psalms 75:7 But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another,” then he must be trying to divide the good from the bad, we could see this as God trying to protect the people who worship him from the sinners, however it is hard to distinguish the bad from the good. The Ten Commandments offer a guide for this, so that we can see what is wrong and what is right, so therefore we could see this as a good act of God as throughout the Bible God demonstrates his desire for justice for his people. People may follow the Ten Commandments because they are scared of the possibility of going to Hell or that they are so full of faith for the Lord that they follow them without thinking, that if it is the wish of God then they must act and follow these rules. The Old Testament displays God as being vengeful and punishing those who sin, whereas in the New he is seen as being forgiving and loving. These are two sides of God which keep people obeying the Ten Commandments, as there are two opinions of him, one that he is punishing and the other that he is forgiving. God also punishes those because he loves all people and love…

    Divine Command Theory Research Paper

    The Divine Command Theory leaves no room for reconciliation with the concepts of Christian liberty and God’s undeserving grace. There is no room for failure according to this concept because we will never be able to keep all of God’s commandments. It is difficult, dare I say impossible, to accept this theory if one is a true believer. By rejecting the concept of grace, one rejects the very compassion and reason Jesus died on the cross for us. The apostle Paul states, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life" (Hollinger, 2002, p.100) (Ephesians 2:8, New Living Translation). I will never be able to earn the grace of God, yet it is his “internal working of grace” that allows me to be ethical (Hollinger, 2002, p.100). "If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free for real" and free from the condemnation of the law.…

    Analyse How Christian Religious Practices Influence the Lives of Adherents. in Your Answer, Refer to Baptism.

    Baptism is an extensively significant religious practice within the Christian faith which is why it continues to have an unrelenting influence on the life of an adherent. Mark 16:16 quotes: “He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Essentially, baptism symbolises a break with the old sinful way of life and demonstrates a full commitment and determination to begin a new way of life obeying God and fulfilling His perfect Will. One who is baptised can never go back to the old way, or else he stands in jeopardy of losing out on eternal life and consequently being consumed in the lake of fire. The significance of baptism within Christianity is evident from the features of…

    Continuing in this thought, I feel the bulk of this essay is composed with a limited understanding of the relationships between the scriptures recorded in Matthew, Romans, Galatians and even Colossians as they relate to keeping the law. Colossians explains the stance that I hold most clearly. Here the scripture asks that they let no one judge the way they practice the law “which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ”. [2] In my opinion, all the Old Testament laws were a shadow of the law as Jesus Christ…

    The Didache: The Ritual of Baptism

    The baptism ritual is rooted in the New and Old Testaments. In the New Testament, baptism was first performed by John the Baptist by immersion in the river Jordan. This was a call to repentance, forgiveness of sins, moral purification, and cleansing (Mark 1:4-5). The Didache is silent on repentance and the symbolic death into Christ. The New Testament record also shows that baptism was done spontaneously without prior preparations of fasting, body anointing, and other preparations discussed below. Jesus Christ also commanded his disciples to make…

    Jesus does not regret the Old Testament Law in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus states in the Sermon on the Mount, that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. Also, the law was meant to be interpreted differently in the New Testament because of Jesus. Even though at some points in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus rephrases the commandments, it does not mean that he is rejecting all of them in their entirety. So, looking right at the surface of the Sermon on the Mount, it seems like Jesus is rewriting the commandments, but if we dig a little deeper, the realization of the commandments true meanings arise.…

    First Amendment Vs Ten Commandments

    The first commandment of the Bible, "thou shalt have no other gods before me;" the first Amendment of the United States Constitution, "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (The Bible, Exodus 20:1–1, Constitution). In America, many argue the country's Amendments were originally based on the Ten Commandments but immediately both the first commandment and first Amendment are not in line with each other. Roy S. Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court installed a giant 5,200 pound granite block in the lobby of Alabama's court that displayed the Ten Commandments. This act was in violation of the first Amendment as the stone is favoring the Christian doctrine in a government courthouse.…
