Neither LDS Christians, Protestant Christians, or Catholic Christians believe that a person "earns" salvation. All of them believe that Christ saves and that we should have faith in Him. All also believe that real living faith is a transformation of whole self (mind, might, action, heart) and...

@aspen is... catholic (? I think).

A baby doesn't much understand their earthly father at all. But they are still the father's child. Academic understanding comes with maturity and growth. Same with a newborn Christian and the Father. I do think academic understand is super super important - don't get me wrong. But I've...

You must have been typing this while I was writing the above post. We each are flawed human being. We struggle to understand the things of God. Misconceptions abound. But it's the relationship with Christ that makes a person a Christian.

The question was specifically if they are 1 or 3 persons. I acknowledge your belief that they are 1 person. I acknowledge the Athanasian Creeds statement that they are 3 persons. I state my own belief that they are 3 persons. And of course, while this is an important topic, it's not what...

"For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost." - The Athanasian Creed.

As we've discussed before, that is your modalist-style belief. It is not the classical view of the Trinity as taught by the Athanasian Creed or centuries of Christians teachings. LDS Christian views are different than Athanasian Christian views, as I outlined in post #47.

Actually not. The Father, Son, and Spirit are three different persons. One God. The Bible also refers to the Father/Son/Spirit in plural and we do see the multiple persons at point. For example, "let us make man in our image" (Gen 1:26) and Jesus's baptism with all three members of the...

If you talking Christology, here's a comparative blurb: LDS Christians and Athanasian Christians (aka Christians that believe the Athanasian Creed) both believe: Every single word about Christ in the Bible. The Son of God, Jesus Christ is 100% divine. The Father is 100% divine. The Holy Spirit...

I'm actually very orthodox in my faith and hold the same beliefs as other members. There are differences between different Christian groups. For example as you & I recently discussed: you believe in Sola Scriptura, and I don't. But it's the core of accepting Christ that is the most important...

As does the Book of Mormon chapter being referenced (quote/link below). It's so essential to look at the whole and not do one-verse theology. "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...

Oh what can be more manly than a Viking hair cut? Get the dreadlocks going and braided beard...

But what if he looks so pretty? ;)

RLDS and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are two different things. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints uses the King James Version of the Bible (links here if you want to see yourself: Old Testament, New Testament). Yes, it has the Song of Solomon, and yes I have...

Should I likewise denounce the Book of James it's downright blatant declaration "Faith without works is dead"? Should I declare the Bible to be a contradiction to itself? Should I do as Martin Luther did and refer to the Book fo James as an "epistle of straw"? NO!! JBF, no one's should...

And LDS Christians also add voice to that choir :)

Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in about being a disciple Christ. He alone is the Savior and He alone I follow. He is the foundation & center of my world. All of other people are flawed sinners, even those that God uses as His servants. Ah. blind bashers...

Just like I said about the person new to faith. This was addressed in posts #6 and #15.

Not true. justbyfaith, LDS Christians believing in living & acting faith. Not shallow "oh yeah I believe" dead faith. Yes, living faith is acting and moving faith. LDS Christians acknowledge this, as does Evangelical theology when you actually get down to it. When you surrendered to Christ...

Ag Again: the belief of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is that surrendering becoming a disciple of Christ is the only thing you can do and the only that remotely matters. It is the core of everything.
