LDS Christians have nothing against bubblegum and nothing docterinal against caffeine. My dad lives off Mountain Dew, particularly when he has overnight shifts. And my daughter goes through so much bubblegum, which I’m totally ok with and at points even encourage. As to temple garments: they...

Scripture certainly comes first! Past then, even within a church / faith body, certain references are held to higher standards than others. God's Truth is not determined by "hey this magazine from 1923 said the one off comment". No: it proclaimed loudly and repeatedly. Knowing the weight of...

Again actual LDS Christian sources: Article of Faith 1:1 "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." (Articles of Faith 1)

Also relevant fact: the "sources" quoted in anti stuff aren't even LDS doctrinal or policy sources, or even used in actual LDS discourse. They just aren't. Example of such fake "sources" are 'Journal of Discourses', 'Mormon Doctrine', 'The Seer', etc. At that's even without taking the...

No. Actual LDS Christian beliefs: Jesus Christ alone is the Son of God ,100% divine, creator and redeemer of the world. God the Father is the Father of all. Everyone are His sons (and daughters). Which technically makes everyone siblings, though what you do is up to you. There aren’t two...

Indeed! Salvation comes by grace. However, a saved person is not a couch potato being the exact same as they were before knowing Christ. True saving faith is an action: we praise Him, worship Him, follow Him, etc.

Agreed, with the important point that God doesn’t contradict HIS meaning. Our understanding of Hum is still limited, and we have much to learn. We shouldn’t shut out learning more of Him.

Cool. Thank you for clarifying.

Adding to this: LDS Christians do NOT believe anyone claiming to have revelation from God is automatically legit. Just no. Discerning what is from God should be a matter of intense study and prayer. I myself have spent years on this subject. As previously stated GrailWarrior isn't a LDS...

Note: GrailWarrior isn't a LDS Christian.

If somebody wants to tell me what they believe, that's great. I love listening to that. If somebody wants to tell me what *I* believe, that's rather silly. Likewise for anyone else to tell me what my denomination preaches/believes when I am an active member for decades and they've never even...

You keep have fun telling people what you think they believe and how you know what they believe better than they do. Never mind anyone else's thoughts or study you know, actually living their lives, studying the entirety of their books, attending church, etc. Obviously you know best. I'm not...

If you refuse to understand how egotistical, stupid, and de-humanzing the argument "I know what you believe better than you do!" is, then that's your problem and I can't help you with it. Bye.

@Backlit , have I not explained this answer to you several times? Do you think you will understand better if I explain it to you again? Because that's all that could ever happen here. Respectfully, I don't agree with your perspective and don't find it in accordance with scripture. But I'm...

You are an extremely duck for being in that crowd. And don’t even get me started on the extremely low quality of how they address other faith groups (like my own).

You really won’t like CARM. They’re extremely “my way or the highway”.

As I said many times: I'm not here to argue with people whom just want to "prove" they are right. Such only registers as a bully, not a disciple of Christ. Your consistent bullying (which yes, it is) has only left a terrible taste in my mouth for all SDA. So rather than allowing you to...

If you believe you know everything I believe, then you have no reason to talk to me. Bye.

There's no conflict to be reconciled between the two statements. Yes, Christ is the Sin Son of God, one with the Father & Spirit, and shares all their attribute. Yes, God created the world the heavens and all things therein. I am under no obligation to argue with every person whom wishes to...

Like this, with the disclaimer that usual disclaimer about how I don't accept consubstantiality and hence do not consider myself a Trinitarian. Accepting that Christ is the Sin Son of God, one with the Father & Spirit, and shares all their attribute, yes.
