This ain't your mother's religion

I am a Christian. In so that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior, He died for my iniquities.
As our Father said "who made man's mouth?" Are there other sects out there who have a glimpse of what is true?
Folks this is no joke, this is a personal attempt to find His guiding Light and a better knowledge and understanding through thoughtful and sincere prayer and study of Holy scriptures. Through this blog I will document all of what My father in Heaven has placed upon my heart. I hope not only will this draw me closer to His knowledge, but also to find peace in my own life.

You say potato, I say potatoe..

So my struggle continues...I must let you know that our house is a small house somewhat divided. My gorgeous and very understanding wife is of the L.D.S. faith. My upbringing believes in the Trinity: Three in One, the L.D.S. faith believes that they are Three in One purpose. SO...... According to 3 Nephi 11:14,27,36 from the book of Mormon (B.O.M.), the Trinity exists....I will wait while you search............O.K. so from a "mainstream" Christianity you can see that those words confirm this right? Well as I and my better half "discussed" this portion of Scripture, I had discounted the fact that I had asked God ( before I read this Chapter) to see what He wanted me to see. Not that there are not words here to argue, but of a small verse which became lost. Quietly I asked for guidance, (for my side of the argument) and lo and behold, I received a calming peace. I read over the chapter again to find more ammo, when what do my wandering eyes should read? 3 Nephi 11:29-30  which reads: "For verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another. Behold this is not My doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against the other, but this is My doctrine, such things should be done away." BOM. Amazingly I did concede. The Lord had shown me that the importance of whether it be Three in One or Three in One purpose, might not be the argument for the saving of the soul. it seemed that it was how I was to enter into a discussion with an open heart to His guiding touch without contention and a hidden agenda. 2 Timothy 2:14-19 states: "Remind them of these things, charging them before the lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings,for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort.who have strayed according to the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past;and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "the lord knows those who are His" and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." NKJV
So here I am eating crow as usual.....If it were not for the lord i would be one HUGE cesspool of iniquity (oh wait I am.) Thank you Father for Your grace. Thank you Jewelz for your patience with a broken man.
