So does it matter *how* a person believes God is one? You just stated that it doesn't matter how, as long as it is believed. It is more complex actually, as this is the first of many discussions before we can even address those speculations. As I've said previously, I find that most people...

Personally, I have no problem with us learning more and more over time, and see the same pattern within the pages of the Bible. There isn't a LDS Christian canonized statement saying anything about the Father's history. There are a whole 2 original speculative statements on the matter, which...

So, in your beliefs, can a person be saved despite disagreeing with the Athanasian Creed on *how* three persons are one God?

The *how* is important here. For me to even go into my personal thoughts on this matter would require much talk on the *how*. I do believe that three are one God, but I don't believe the same *how* this is as you do. Which, in your eyes (if I'm understanding correctly), is enough to make me...

Using plain English, tell me *how* are three persons are one God? You cannot. It is a mystery (using the theological definition of that word). We all have things about God we don't understand.

How can something be "completely inaccurate" when it is directly and accurately quoted from published authoritative sources of the LDS Church? When the person reading it is not understanding the context: needed background, other important information, authoritative degree, etc. This really...

A thousand "Amens" the the parts here about love.

LDS Christians aren't Sola Biblia. When the young rich man asked Jesus "what lack I yet?" Jesus instructed him to "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." (emphasis mine) We are likewise...

We there's many things about God His mysteries we don't understand/know right now. I could speculate/guess on that or many other unknowns, but that's a very different thing than God Himself revealing how.

Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there isnone good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him...

The above is inaccurate. What would be accurate to say: the highest glory is those that have fully accepted Christ (whether they did so in this mortal life or afterwards). We are to give our entire heart, mind, and soul to Him. Not just be luke warm or a shallow "yeah I believe" but no real...

Ok, responding to Giuliano's post, including some of the history of it. Ok, so I was confused by your post earlier, and I'm admittedly still confused (sorry!). LDS Christians do believe that a physical thing can be glorified. God the Son's (Christ) was physically born, lived in an...

Editting this to be accurate and still keep it short: LDS Christians believe that all people shall have eternal life and almost all have incomprehensible happiness in the eternities. The almost all exclude Satan, his disciples, Cain, blatant Holy Ghost deniers, etc. As to rest of the >99.999%...

Hi Giuliano, I'm sorry, I forgot to respond to your post earlier with all the other posts. I'll go back and try to find it now to respond to.

Once again, the above is inaccurate.

LDS Christians 100% believe that these 3 are 1. If you want to talk about difference here, then we can talk about the Athanasian Creed (~500 AD) and consubstantiality. < That is the actual difference.

3 different divine persons, one God. Same as Trinitarians in that regard. The difference is when you talk about *how* they are one (again, LDS Christians reject the Athanasian Creed and it's answer to that).

The Book of Genesis also uses plural language for describing the creation.

1) So... 2) So... 3) Protestant also believe that properly translating the Bible is important and that there are correct interpretations of it. 4) If you want to stone me for being among the >75% of Christians that reject Sola Scriptura, go ahead. 5) Yep, LDS Christians do believe that God...

If you have concerns about what I believe about Christ, then talk to me and listen to my responses. If you'd rather not and you're just convinced I'm damned, then you can go on believing that, and we can quit wasting time attempting to talk about it.
