Hey, if you got any questions about LDS Christian beliefs, feel free to ask. I love Christ, and I'm very open about my faith.

Actually I am, with more experience in interfaith dialogue & studying other faith than a pair of teenagers. LDS Christians likewise believe that Jesus Christ is the 1 Son of God, and that there's only 1 God. The Father / Son / Spirit are 3 different divine persons, united as 1 God. It's...

Indeed! There are so many wonderful verses that speak of His amazing power to make us like Him. He is…. outstanding.

The foundation of your question is off base-- I'm not doing anything for a kingdom or reward. Rather, I follow Christ out of love. As to the perfection of saints: I 100% believe in the power of Christ's atonement, that He has the power a wretched sinner like me, and purify my filthy scarlet...

^That's inaccurate. For starters the entire "planet" and "billions" things are just wrong. As to work: no, I don't work my way to Heaven- that very idea is laughable. The only way to salvation is through faith in Christ, the Son of God. But I do believe that saving faith isn't just a shallow...

Literally name any theological or social subject, and it’s different between these two faiths.

Pretty much everything is different between those two faiths. LDS Christians celebrate Jesus as the Son of God, JW deny His divinity and say He’s an angel. LDS Christians and a very hope-filled faith and acknowledge your Protestant/Catholic/whatever relationship with Christ and that you are...

I am out of patience for this. In my eyes, you keep ignoring the important qualities that make God whom He is: infinitely loving, just, merciful, etc. These are not just how a person "acts" (as you phrase things), but defining characteristics of whom a person is- God is love. Infinite love...

Marks, you are acting like you the fact that God is infinitely loving doesn't mean squat.

Actual "Mormon" here: if you want to hear about about I love & respect God, please feel free to ask. He is my King and salvation comes only through faith in Him. I ain't working my way to Heaven, though I do try to follow Him out of love (John 14:15).

Yes. Marks, for me the difference between God and a sinner such as myself is that God is infinitely loving, just, merififul, etc, versus I sin, be petty, etc. That is the difference. Yet you keep trying to insulate that there's no difference or that the difference I listed don't matter...

Actually, I have listed the difference several times. You are attempting misrepresenting me rather than address real beliefs. Now please answer my point blank question: Marks, you keep ignoring God being infinitely Loving, Just, Merciful, etc. Are these truly nothing to you? Do require...

I'm going to very direct here: I have met Creedal Christians whom really don't care God being infinitely Loving, Good, Just, Merciful, etc. Doesn't matter to them. Instead to them "God" is all about ontological "species" differences and about humans just ontological suck. Nothing about them...

No. For example: Christ (God) is infinitely loving. God is love. I am not- I get really angry and hateful, especially when folks wrong me. I only bring that up because I have ran into a lot of Creedal Christians whom that birthdate (or lack thereof) is a big deal on they define "God". And...

Utah is... unique. It's a place with a very unique culture, which is different than LDS Christian faith. The nearest thing it resembles is deep-South-Bible-Belt. I have mega problems with Utah culture and will never ever live there. Sadly leeches exist in every batch of humans. Needless...

Going to state the obvious here: what makes the Father and Son God is not their age. Age shouldn't even be a part of this conversation and it really bothers me when Creedal so focus on it. What makes Christ God is that He is perfect-- He is always perfectly loving, always perfectly...

Actually I try every single day to be like Jesus Christ. He is my Lord & Savior, whom I love so so dearly and give everything I am and have to. Nothing here about my own self-elevation-- I naturally really suck.

As I mentioned in post #65, LDS Christians view "man" differently than Creedal Christians. Creedal Christians believe that a newborn baby is <1 year old, a "created being". LDS Christians believe that the baby's body is <1 year old, but its spirit is infinitely old (always been). The...

These sites are laughably inaccurate.

LDS Christians ("Mormons") believe that Jesus Christ is the 100% divine Son of God. Like Catholics and Protestants. There are other folks on here (notably Jehovah Witnesses) that deny Christ's divinity.
