    Hello from Utah!

    Hi @I.O.U , I agree with the previous posters that a "welcome" thread isn't a good place to have these conversations. If you want, @Fether gave you some good links, or I'd be happy to answer questions myself via PM. I'm an active member of the Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints...

    Hello from Utah!

    Hello friend @Fether ! I’ve been on here for several years, as a very open LDS Christian. Most of the people here are good Christians, many of them very good Christians. This site only requires you to love Christ to be a Christian. There’s a bunch of non-Trinitarians, Trinitarians, and about...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Let me explain again what I believe, and then you can clarify where you believe differently. I believe the Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Spirit are all ONE God. 3 different persons, 1 God. They are unified in one heart, one mind, one will, etc. I do not believe that they are one via...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    I 100% agree that the Father and the Son are one. And that Christ desires us to be one with Him to: "John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we...

    Yes, that is essential theology in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (nicknamed "Mormon"). There's no special relationship between Christ & Lucifer/Satan. Jesus Christ alone is the Son of God, perfectly obedient Son to the Father. Lucifer flat out rebelled from the Father and...

    Again, I don’t know the full story here. But my heart does go out that you local bishop failed to see mental illness as a real illness. People in society so often do- I know that first hand. Along with the difficulties infertility brings.

    If you (or anyone else) have concerns about my beliefs in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, feel free to ask me here or via PM. Christ is my Savior, my King, and without whom I would literally not be here. And yes, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a "Mormon". I am...

    My heart breaks for you and your rough divorce. Obviously I don't know your full story and can't comment on that. But it is NOT acceptable to divorce somebody just because they have chosen to leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Let alone the run off to another state & all...

    EVERYONE is tempted, even Christ was tempted! And everyone besides Christ does fall and screw up, even the most devoted follower of Christ. Follow in His ways does fortify a person and make it easier to avoid falling and easier to clean up, but it doesn't mean you'll never be tempted or fall...

    Neither Catholicism or "Mormonism" teach this. In Catholicism, it's "once a Catholic always a Catholic". It is literally impossible to wirthdraw membership, even if you never ever believed in the first place (like being baptized as a baby). They don't believe that being baptized =...

    This isn't a documentary. It's a YouTube tabloid-style video put together by Lynn Wilder, an ex-Mormon lady who makes her money giving out horribly inaccurate information to other non-LDS Christian folks. It's laughably inaccurate and agenda driven. Still, if you want to talk about any of it...

    "Mormonism", which believes that even un-repentant sinful idol worshipers get a happy eternity, is likely one of the least-fear based faiths out there. As to keeping your covenants, aka promises with God: they are are to bear one another’s burdens, stand as witnesses of God, serve Him, and keep...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    The following are two different things: 1) the "lay man's" Trinity where you just acknowledge Christ as God 2) a fully fledged academic theological study of the Trinity examining historical statements like the Athanasian Creed. I do not subscribe to #2 and have some problems with it. I shy...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    There's no difference between man serving Jesus Christ and man serving God- Jesus is God. The reason I'm not a trinitarian is that I believe that the Father/Son/Spirit are 1 God via unity rather than via a shared substance as stated in the Trinitarian Creeds (most notably the Athanasian Creed).

    Note: members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (nicknamed "Mormons", I am one) totally acknowledge that other folks are Christian too, have good things, and will be spending eternity dancing around with Christ. LDS Christians do believe that LDS Christian theology is most...

    What is means to join a church varied HUGELY across Christiandom, that it’s not really comparable. For example, Catholic Christians approach joining the church as a person being baptized, usually as an infant. Like a branding, it can never be undone, even if the person never has any faith in...
