The prophetesses & other strong women have been one of the areas I’ve personally been focusing on this read through of the Old Testament. My most recent focus chapter what Miriam her disagreement with Moses over his wife. Women can indeed channel the power of God, but are fallible and can...

Sharing my experience: I firmly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He’s always been God and will always be. He created the world. He + the Father + the Spirt are 3 persons in 1 God. But I do not ratify the Creeds, nor consider myself a Trinitarian because I cannot accept the...

Love of Christ is what makes a person a Christian. Not their ability to pass a theology test. Not their ability to live a perfect life. again: focus on helping people grow in faith & knowledge, not flaming.

Note: calling someone a “cultist” is flaming.

I would state that the divinity of Christ is indeed a central point of any Christian faith. Now, if someone doesn’t understand that, I’m going to happily and respectfully talk to them about it, encouraging them to grow in knowledge & faith. Also, spend time listening to them explain their love...

<Actual “Mormon” here> “Mormons” believe that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, always has been, always will be. He + the Father + the Holy Spirit are 3 different persons in 1 God.

Ignoring my point negate it.

I myself PASSIONATELY disagree with Calvinism and find it to be very twisted. But there’s no need to flame the believers or their beliefs. I’ve spent much time talking with Calvinist believers, striving to understand why &!how the believe as they believe as they do. I strive to show them love &...

When you yourself aren’t willing to actually talk with another person, to understand what they really believe and show that interest in truth, and instead just want flame…. No Christian, of any denomination, has need to flame others. Or to fear sitting down with them to understand. Rather...

Have you honestly spent the time to understand a person, what they believe and how they strive to find truth?

Then spend the time to work with that INDIVIDUAL for where they have gone astray. Again, with charity or you are just a clanging cymbal. Flaming and slapping around labels doesn’t help anyone come to Christ.

I would humbly suggest a more charitable approach to others, taking the time to understand people and show them Christ’s love. Slapping around labels doesn’t encourage anyone to learn or grow in Christ.

LDS Christians (“Mormons”) believe that Jesus Christ existed always. He is the one and only Begotten Son of God. Divine. He created the world, spoke to Moses through the burning bush, is the great I Am.

@Brakelite , I’ve not been following this thread lately, but your (rhetorical?) Mormon example is not remotely accurate as to actual LDS Christian beliefs.

Speaking as a religious person AND a trained scientist: in both fields you learn step by step, think and test things out, and make corrections. Sometimes those corrections are major and feels like you just tossed tons of what you “knew” into the bin, along with all the time & energy & personal...

Believers are starting on the path today. Full sanctification and perfection is a lifetime+ journey. We got a loooooonnng way to go.

Yes and no, depending on how you define it. Yes in believing that 3 divine persons in 1 God. No in believing Creedal statements like about being of one substance.

….??? I am LDS. Active, believing, temple worthy. Actual LDS Christian beleifs are very different what others will tell you. Part of this is due to simple language differences, part due to just blatant misinformation. If you want I can refer you to several threads on the subject I’ve...

Become one WITH God. Not replacing Him. And yes, I find this very consistent with all of John 17.

LDS Christians do believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are 3 persons in 1 God. All having always existed, are all powerful, all benevolent/justice/merciful etc. But LDS Christians differ from Creedal Christians in that we don’t endorse the Creeds, such as the Athanasain Creed’s statement...
