If you want a very different perspective on this, let me know.

Ok. Suit yourself.

Is there anything you want to talk about or….?

Females were made in the image of God as well. And the "that's not in the Bible" objection doesn't matter to me because I don't believe God's Truths are limited to the 66 book Protestant Bible ( a collection of books assembled by tradition and does not claim God's Truths are limited to them)...

I totally agree. However, the Westminster Creed is a major part of Protestant theology. Genesis 1, emphasis mine: "26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and...

Again: I do NOT believe that God is androydenous, as the Westminster Creed teaches. Rather, I believe that the Father is male. Christ was/is male. That Christ and the Father both love- to extreme depths. That marriage in this life is not "just an outlet for sex" or "training wheels so that...

I did not say anything about sex, and "fooling around". "There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible" - The Westminster Confession. I do not...

It's not better.

That's no a secret. Here's an official essay on the topic: Mother in Heaven As to my thoughts on it: I strongly believe that Heavenly Father is a Father. Not some androgynous it like the Force from Star Wars. I find great beauty in the doctrine of Heavenly Mother, even if very little in...

This is inaccurate, offensive, and a personal attack.

I apologize if I caused offense, that was not my intention. And especially not to attack you. The Baptist - LDS Christian miscommunication perils are legendary, especially in debate settings with "anti-cult" stuff in play. I know- as a LDS Christian married to a Baptist I've seen it so many...

I haven't heard back from you, so I'll just address rest of these inaccuracies below. Why does being accurate matter? Because truth matters- any Christian should proclaim that. And if you go into a conversation clinging to a false picture of what someone else believes and aren't interested in...

99% of the time when you meet a "Mormon", it's a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (<-actual church name). "Mormon" was/is a nickname. Such as myself. There are other churches that have broken off from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The largest of...

Protestantism is indeed a diverse group. I personally find the Calvinism vs Arminianism differences to be the largest divide across all of extended Christendom. Lots of things to touch here. I'll focus on the first one because it's first and very important. The Father and Son are two...

I don't find explaining what I believe ("Yes Jesus is the Son of God") to be proselytizing. I totally acknowledge everyone's right here to believe what they believe and ain't going to lift a single finger to change that. You are all intelligent human beings whom can study and make decisions...

If anyone wants me to explain actual LDS Christian beliefs versus the popular misinformation, just let me know. Example: yes LDS Christian do actually believe Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God. I have zero interest in proselytizing, giving or receiving.

Totally agree with all of that. John 17 is one of my favorite chapters.

There's only 1 God. Yes, Jesus Christ is God. The divine Son of God to be more specific. He, the Father, and Spirit are 3 different divine persons. Like Christ doesn't pray to Himself, He prays to the Father. They are united as ONE God: on the exact same page about everything. One...

Again: actual Mormon here: Joseph Smith ain't my Savior or Lord. Jesus Christ is. The proof of His divinity & mission is given by testimony of the Holy Spirit.

Actual "Mormon" here: Jesus Christ is my Savior. The divine Son of God. I first came unto Him at a very young age (~4) and He has been my Lord & foundation since then. I love Him with every fiber of my being. I am a saved Christian, even according to Protestant theology. I love all of God's...
