My answers were using modern cultural context, speaking as one modern cultural person to another. If you want want talk about ancient Isreal and those more arranged marriages, we can - of course. But that wasn't the context I was phrasing my previous answers in and I just want to make sure...

Justbyfaith: I've literally answered this question for you before. "Testament" used here is akin to "testimony", being derived from that word. The Book of Mormon stands as another testimony of Christ: voices adding to the choir that He is the Almighty Son of God. It doesn't replace any...

Yes: because you and I are both people speaking & living in the modern era. I wasn't referring to old ways.

You're verbose as always @Grailhunter ;) .

I was using the term “ritual” genetically. Yes, baptism is an outward thing, symbolizing the death of the old sinner and rising of the new believer. Just like just going through a marriage ceremony doesn’t magically make you fall in love, rather is outwardly proclaiming your love.

Yes, though it is different than the Catholic Priesthood. Pretty much every active LDS Christian is a priest, with men and women serving different roles. Service is volunteer is volunteer, with nobody getting paid at the local level. People live regular lives, with families and regular day...

Addressing a few other points in here: - Religious rituals: (i’ll Use baptism as a example). Faith and repentance come before baptism. The act of getting dunked itself doesn’t magically save a nonbeliever. Rather, a believer should indeed be baptized as part of their walk with Christ. -...

Very nice posts @Christophany !

Part 2: LDS Christians very strongly believe that your body is a temple and should be treated with such sacredness and respect. This actually ties into modest stress, healthy eating, mindful conduct, etc. And yes, temple garments. “Temple garments” as they are properly known are a religious...

Sorry about that- typing on phones is awkward some times. Addressing 1 first: You or anyone else are 100% welcome to attend weekly worship services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You’re welcome to come, join in, partake of the Lord’s Supper, share your love of Christ from...

You're free to ask whatever you want. I'm not one much to respond to barbs.

If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to ask.

Yes and yes. Just going to quote myself here: Great verses.

Do so by sharing the truth of what you believe. Not by informing someone else how what you think they believe is not right.

The best way to show people that you are Christian and have His love shine through. This is true for any person of any set of pews talking to another.

I very much accept the divinity of Jesus Christ, as I before stated. First Great Commandment comes first. I'm also very much an advocate of the Second Great Commandment, and pro treating all people with love and respect, regardless of their race, nationality, creed, etc. That doesn't mean I...

Here: I'm a person whom loves Christ. He's the Son of God, and my Savior. I embrace Him with every fiber of my being, and yes do indeed consider myself a Christian. I do deeply celebrate the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. However, I have some theological disagreements with some...

I HAVE asked them-- literally when I was first checking out this website to investigate if it's a place where all that rejoice in Christ are welcome, because I like chatting with other folks hat love Christ. We have Protestants, Catholics, SDA, JW, random non-Trinitarians, etc. I myself am a...

That is not the case here. It is the case for some other sites like ChristianForums.
