The Myth of unMerited Favor and Grace
There is no such thing
as unmerited favor or unmerited grace
from God.
That is the doctrine of devils.
God will not reward you
for anything you do not deserve.
God will not punish you
for anything you do not deserve.
God will not exalt you
for anything you do not deserve.
God will not praise you for anything
you do not deserve.
Whatsoever you sow
to the flesh you shall
reap of the flesh.
Whatsoever you sow
to the Spirit you shall
reap of the Spirit.

This is actually a pretty good post!
Granted: the natural man is not [worthy] of God's mercy or grace.
However, we were not created [to be] worthy; or were we? Tell me.
Did God KNOW man would sin? Yes. Nevertheless, He created man.
But WHY? It was to express His love in us!
I'll stop there.

Spoken like a true Mormon or JW. If it is merited, it is not grace.

Some guys are so plainly false prophets, it's amazing it takes no more effort from the enemy to kid them.

You need to find a man of God
who has the power of the Holy Ghost
who can cast out devils.
Note***
You will not find that man of God
where you attend church.

You need to find a doctor who will examine your brain function.

Well, well, well, look who we have here.
We have Mr Man of God posting.
If someone needs to find a man of God are you that man?
