Is Christ not God? Do you deny that Christ way born of Mary? That He was literally physically resurrected? Yes: God can have a body. To deny this is to flat out deny the divinity and life of Christ. No one here worships The Force from Star Wars.

(Edited to be more polite) The reason you (or I or anyone else) should use thier own words to explain what you believe is because it is what YOU believe. Showing your thoughts, learnings, and passion for God. Jesus taught parables of virgins whom need their own oil in thier lamps- they...

You literally ignored everything I said, and just copied pasted other websites. I'm here to have a two-way conversation with YOU. One where we both listen and share.

I can tell you aren’t an LDS Christian on this post alone. Christ’s divinity as the Son of God is a central LDS Christian beleif.

I already addressed this: To interpret John 4 as “well God can’t have a body” denies that God EMBODIED is the speaker here. Such interpretation makes zero sense and denies Christ’s divinity. I can’t stand it when Creedals do that. Rather, the point of John 4 is that we should worship God with...

Again: The Bible itself doesn’t specify if God the Father is like the Son (spirit in a body) or like the Spirit (no body). But it’s clearly in the Bible that God can have a body, as exemplified in the Son.

Clarifying actual LDS Christian beliefs here: Like Baptists, I believe that the Holy Spirit is divine (He’s God) and is a spirit without a body. I beleive that Jesus Christ (whom is also God) has a spirit which resides body of flesh and bone, now post resurrection and glorified. This is an...

@The Learner , I know you mean “you sound like a Baptist” as a compliment. But … *Jane searching for words*… with all possible respect, I find little joy or substance in Baptist beliefs. I leave Baptist church services /studies still spiritually hungry. Such is not my home and can never be.

Not sure where you got that impression. But whatever.

No thank you. I go where God calls me, and where I find His Truth. And that’s not Baptists.

God does indeed send teachers- He’s awesome that way. But a person claiming that they are sent from God doesn’t prove anything for me, I’m going to go to God Himself and as ask Him “is this your person?” And is so, I’m going to still keep checking in with God on individual teachings. And...

Trying to be polite here while extremely clear on the point: I leave the teaching to God Himself, not human councils. Humans, not matter how well meaning, are flawed and get things wrong.

Again, passionately disagree: God is not a changeable being to be silenced. Interpreting those verses to be God giving himself a gag order is incorrect.

I'm not going to spend my time typing personalized responses to copy-paste stuff. Suffice it to say I passionately disagree with a closed canon, especially in Protestantism. Along with other points touched on here.

"Expand" while I'm also trying to keep things short rather than right 13 essays :).Starting big picture: these are similar and different to Creeds and "What we believe" statements found in other churches. Similar in that they are "what we believe statements". Different in that the "Articles of...

Reminder of an important thing here: for Creedal Christians "born" means to come into existance. In contrast, for LDS Christians, "born" is moving from one stage of existence to another (never was there a time of non-existence). As to brothers: Heavenly Father is everyone's Father including...

Due to quantity of questions, I'm keeping answer really short. They are good questions :) Hubby in very generic Baptist, and friend / sister-in-law is United Methodist, also very generically. You and I have always existed. Simple at that. A newborn baby is not <1 year old, but their spirit...

With that interpretation, then there is much agreement. Other interpretations, not so much. I've seen Trinitarians that describe God like He's the Force from Star Wars, others that act like "God" is supernatural sparkly stuff, and many others that say "1 God in 3 persons" but for all...

Going on just one example of how these sites: Taking from here (Comparison Chart - Mormonism and Christianity - Apologetics) on the "The Doctrine of Jesus Christ" section [QOUTE] Historic Christianity : Jesus Christ was the virgin born God incarnate who existed in all time with the Father and...

Please use your own words, rather linking sites that (incorrectly) try to tell me what I believe. Sorry, but it's REALLY getting on my nerves. *Sigh*. No, I've dealt with these folks misrepresenting stuff even before the internet existed (in popular form).
