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 is 100% divine. The Father, Son, and Spirit are all...

*thumbs up* (just explaining my views for the rest of this) Any person God selects can be His servant. Just like in ancient times, in which God picked people like un-educated fishermen, sheep-herders that were on the run for murder, and people that had aided in persecution of God's people. As...

EEEK!! So the link still didn't work. Skip to the last page, post 197.

Yeah, it took a second to link things. It's not too long. Or you can read it later of course. :)

Prompted by an earlier conversation with GG (recapped in post 588 MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ?), I decided to add some to my old thread here. Subject: Continuing Revelation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I believe that God never changes and always leads...

This prompted me to make an more elaborate answer on my explaining-my-beliefs thread: post 197 What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

I will fully agree what Catholics are Christians-- complete agree with that. I acknowledge that the Catholic Church strives to follow God, and does many great things, and has many many fantastic Christians therein. There's a lot I admire about Catholicism and Catholic people. That being said...

No: Catholic firmly REJECT Sola Scirptura. Rather they see Church Tradition (note the caps) being on par in authority and at times even of more importance (since there's the argument that scripture itself is defined by Church Tradition). The official CCC position is that Sola Scriptura is a...

People can't even agree which books are in the Bible (they range from 66 to 81), let alone "sola scriptura" (scripture of course being defined by tradition). There's just too many interpretations of everything. Note: Catholicism rejects Sola Sciptura.

I just meant 'lone' as in not afflitated with any other group of believers. Of course you're under the Christian umbrella. :)

Do you have any institutional affliction (of course being under the Christian umbrella)? Or a your of a lone person (of course being under the Christian umbrella)?

@101G , weren't you an SDA? (I'm trying to remember, but am super fuzzy there)

This is probably a word-choice / schematics thing nitpicky thing -- I wouldn't say that it was the Orthodox breaking away from the RCC. Or the RCC breaking away from the Orthodox. More that the previous group split in two, forming both Orthodox and RCC. Protestants were a break away from...

I think we can all agree that-- A) There was some organization in the early church (speaking of when Paul was alive). This degree of organization was very different than what we think of today (us 21st century people can't fantom a communication taking hours to reach a person, let alone...

All Christians agree that it's important to honor God in the Sabbath and have a day of rest. Originally this was done on what we now call Saturday. After Christ's resurrection was on Sunday, culturally majority of Christian moved their day of honoring God and rest (aka their Sabbath day) to...

That doesn't make any sense. I've never met a Christian who was actually sola scriptura. Instead they: - Hold in their hands a collection of books (ranging from 66-81 books therein) which was defined by tradition. - The invite divine persons to aide in their reading of that collection, and...

While the idea is agreed upon, the way the idea is carried out obviously differs between the two of us: myself believing in continuing prophets and revelation, you in the ceasing thereof. The vividly part was referring to the contents of the Book of Revelation -- hugely vivid. Aside: thank...

Addressing this part first, because I want to give it a huge AMEN! Ok, now on to talking about everything else-- (Just explaining my beliefs here, while totally acknowledging that yours are different. Thank you for sharing your perspective, and for you usual gracious manner ) For me, it's a...

The Catholic Church is a centralized institutional church. It's an international giant. Some Christians would agree that Christ's church needs to be such centralized institutional. Instead they would argue that Christ's church is an invisible body, such as a bunch of home-churches just...

Highlighting a huge assumption here: that the Christian church is supposed to be a singular giant worldly institution, and that man's history (aka imperfect recounting of sinners being sinners) will prove the "truthfulness" of God we should look for such a political power. And again, Catholics...
