    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    “Being in the form of God” or “being in the nature (of) God” does not imply that our Lord was divine, but rather that he was in same nature, a glorious spirit being as God, so too the angels. "God is spirit (that is he is a spirit being; invisible, mighty, powerful, and influential); and those...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    You are entitled to your opinions, to agree or to disagree as you like however this does not imply that you are correct in your assumptions. I too am not a Trinitarian and likewise absolutely affirm the divinity of Christ. Nor does it bother me to be labelled Arian that is with the assumption...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I was not being dishonest you asked which translation I was using; I assumed you meant what translation I use generally, which is the NKJV. My mistake was that this was not what you were asking, you wanted to know what translation I was quoting from when I quoted John 1:1 which was Benjamin...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I use the NKJV, although I do consult several other versions when engaged in serious bible study. No, in my post I was merely quoting Benjamin Wilson’s Emphatic Diaglott. This issue comes up all the time, neither we Bible Students nor the JW’s deny the divinity of Christ. We affirm that the...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Is this true; is it an established fact that a capital “G” is used when referring to the true God and a small “g” when referring to false gods? Let’s look at a few scriptures and see what they have to say on the issue. “For even if there are so-called gods (Greek: theos, mighty ones), whether...

    The Lord is sovereign despite all the sects of men, Catholics, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adventist, Lutherans, etc., etc.

    The Seven Spirits of God

    Although we too believe "the Seven Spirits" represent the holy spirit, we do not share the Trinity based opinion that the holy spirit is a person. See, How to study the book of Revelation, Part 35 See, The Holy Spirit

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 28

    The Great Company, continued Now we understand that some may have difficulty in accepting the fact that the Great Company is a heavenly class (especially among our JW friends), it appears some do not fully comprehend the significance of the surrender of one’s restituional life rights. We...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 27

    The Great Company, continued In the tabernacle picture, “the scapegoat was charged with the iniquities of the children of Israel, but was not put to death, and the blood was not taken into the Most Holy. This shows that the scapegoat was not a sacrifice for sins. Instead, the scapegoat was...

    The Great Company “Our thought is that Elisha typifies two classes: first he typifies those associated with the Elijah class (the Great Company); and secondly after the taking of Elijah up in the whirlwind and re-crossing the Jordan (picturing the death of the Great Company) he becomes a type...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    It is evident from your response here that you have never truly studied the issue before, but rather have chosen to except as truth the teachings of the apostate church. You keep believing the babble your cult "Babylon" teaches you and you will continue to grope in the darkness of ignorance with...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 69

    Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 33, 34 “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (KJV) If we were to apply the “generation” being spoken of here as to either...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 68

    Matthew Chapter 24 The margin of the NKJV interprets Matt 24:33 as: So you also, when you see all these things, know that He is near—at the doors! The following are several translations who interpret it so: “In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 67

    Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 34 continued “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” In order to rightly understand who or what generation is being referred to here, several questions need to be addressed. 1) In Verse 33 it says “when...

    Satan is the God of this world, not only that but he has been the direct influence behind all four of the beastly kingdoms of this world and will continue to do so until one greater than he cast him out.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    So what's your point then, whether capitalized or not its just how the translator translated it. Some translations capitalize it some don't. The key point is that it was the "man", the human being, Christ Jesus who gave his life as a ransom for all men, and it is to be The Christ, both Head and...

    Left Behind “Just as in the type it was a prerequisite that Elisha see Elijah being taken, so in the antitype the Great Company will recognize the true Church having departed. The Elisha class will be given rejoicing experiences later, but first there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matt...
