Actually the reverse is true: polygamy is a major no-go for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Marrying a second living person is pretty much an instant excommunication. Adults from that background must openly denounced the practice of polygamy before baptism, and any there are...

Persecuting another is poisonous. Adult humans are perfectly capable of disagreeing without being disagreeable.

When a person doesn't bother to understand the beliefs they are protesting, or actively broadcasts bad information, or harasses another person, that is indeed persecution & hateful actions.

JNF, I follow Christ. Not you or any other man. I investigate things thoroughly for myself. I wish you well on your walk with Christ, may you ever grow closer with Him.

Not really.

In my 20’s I quit going to church for several years. I also quit out of a church-owned school, and made it very known how I wanted to be left alone. No hate or shunning happened. Lots of love. Acknowledging my decisions as well.

Only in the same way that applies to every single other person: namely that the Father is/was the Father of all. 1) You'd be finding out wrong. 2) If any person doesn't want to be a LDS Christian, they don't have to be. I've been one for decades- through and through, lots of family members...

The facts of what LDS Christians believe (which I have stated here) don't ever change. Even if you spend decades in the church, studiing all documents and history backwards & forwards. However, there are persecutors out there that downright hate LDS Christians. They are false teachers whom...

*rolls eyes again* justbyfaith, I've never once met a Christian whom took everything they believed just from scripture. They have teachers, the Spirit, historical context, tradition, etc, all informing their beliefs as well. I do not hold to the belief that God suddenly changed and quit...

Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son See also Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship only begotten of the Father … full of grace and truth, John 1:14. God … the only begotten Son … he hath declared him, John 1:18. God … gave his only begotten Son, John 3:16 (D&C 20:21). God sent his only begotten...

Could you two take discussion fo Grailhunter's beliefs somewhere else?

Are you literally ignoring everything I've been typing the last couple hours explaining things to you? The Only Begotten Son of God. *sigh* LDS Christians believe in the Bible, including every word therein about Christ. Christ only is the Only Begotten Son of God and Savior of the world...

? The thesis of the chapter is the centrality of having faith in Christ and that's how you're saved. You, no matter your thoroughness, cannot be saved just via the Law of Moses or other things. You NEED Christ.

What I just said is literally the Book of Mormon chapter summary.

justbyfaith is you give every little physical thing to God -- literally every penny, every second, every breath, and go to the stake to be burned to death --- everything you possibly could ever conceivably could do -- and did so without faith in Christ -- are you saved? NO!!!! After all you...

Your walk with God is yours. I acknowledge and respect that. I'm not ever going to lift a finger to try to change that. Nor am I going to pretend that I'm some sort of crystal ball to say "oh well X is going to happen in the future" -- such is absurd. Grailhunter's ideas are Grailhunter's...

These are Grailhunter's views, and he's not an LDS Christian, I'm not going to really comment on it.

Honestly, I don't really care. I acknowledge you as a Protestant Christian, and have zero desire to do anything to change that. It's not "nullifying". Rather, it's giving the larger in context picture. Christ is what's doing the saving. No one is earning salvation by works. In the author's...

See post 153. The central thesis is (emphasis mine): "26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. Wherefore, we speak...

Not really... Jesus Christ, Birth of virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, Isa. 7:14 (2 Ne. 17:14). unto us a child is born, Isa. 9:6 (2 Ne. 19:6). Beth-lehem … out of thee shall he come forth, Micah 5:2. virgin shall … bring forth a son … Emmanuel, Matt. 1:23. Jesus was born in...
