So what is your take on the parable of the Ten Virgins?
If you want a non-Mormon's "take", ask it in the appropriate forum.
Is the Bridegroom saying half of the world will not be prepared or just half the Church of believers will be saved?
Ask your question in the appropriate forum.
Or better yet, don't waste our time, since you're obviously not interested in the answer.
So according to this we see that Faith Alone is not going to be enough since those who proclaim faith alone will not be prepared for his coming...
I wasn't aware that Mormons believed in "Faith Alone".
So it seems you are refuting Mormonism.
Again, you are derailing discussion to try to attack Christianity, since you can't defend Mormonism. Pathetic.
Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is
not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9
not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
2Tim. 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling,
not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
Titus 3:5 he saved us,
not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Rom. 4:1 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And
to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom
God counts righteousness apart from works:
Rom. 9:11 though they were not yet born and
had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue,
not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Rom. 11:5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is
no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
which means half of all you Christians who propose Sola fide never really committed themselves and are shown for the hypocrites they are... hmm
Personal attack duly noted.
Clearly you are not a true Christian.
I can not judge another of what is in their hearts,
Oops! Too late!
You just did.
Joseph Smith answered that in The Lectures of Faith, which were part of the Standard Works until 1929
