I'll send you both PM's too--again I'm feeling bad about derailing Rolo's thread.

Sure, I'll send you a PM as to not completely take over Rolo's thread here ;)

Hi TheHolyBookEnds, I think you and I have actually chatted on ChristianForums before (I recognize your post).

Thank you for being honest and sparing us all the proselytizing-circus headache. God be with you :)

Experience has taught me there's roughly two groups of people in these type of conversation: those who ask questions because they are honestly interested in the answers, and those who aren't and instead their questions are a ploy for proselytizing. As I said, I have ZERO interest in...

Same question I asked Stanger: are you HONESTLY interested in listening to my answers and what I believe? Or are you proselytizing?

Being blunt here: are you HONESTLY interested in listening to my answers and what I believe? Or are you proselytizing? I'm happy to answer questions that people are honestly interested in the answers. I'm NOT interested in proselytizing (either giving or receiving) or having anyone deny...

I just said "everyone believes salvation comes through faith in Christ."....

That is not my purpose here at all (I consider such pushing by anyone to be tacky at best, more commonly far worse). My offer was just that if you wanted me to explain any thing (misconceptions abound), I'd be happy to answer. I'm here to celebrate Christ with other folks that love Christ...

Again, if you have any questions feel free to ask directly over the board or (better) via PM. I am very experienced addressing concerns for people who want to listen.

For a point of clarification: I never said that Jesus ceased to be 100% divine God during His time on Earth and very much believe the opposite.

Big picture: everyone believes salvation comes through faith in Christ. Now zooming in more to salvation for people who have never heard of Christ or not accepted Him: this you will have a variety of opinions on in Christendom and a lot of "we don't know"s. Personally, it is my belief that each...

There are a TON of misconceptions about the LDS faith out there. If you have any questions about any in particular and honestly want to hear the answers, feel free to just come out and ask me over the board or via PM (PM would probably be better actually- more personal).

Perhaps a rephrase then, so I can more fully understand what you are asking? All Mormons are Christians. All Baptists are Christians. All Catholics are Christians. All Orthodox are Christians. These are different subgroups within the larger umbrella. The core that makes us all Christian is...

The Father, Son, and Spirit are all three different persons. Christ doesn't pray to Himself, He prays to the Father. The Father forsake Christ on the cross (Christ didn't forsake himself... not even sure how that would make sense). When the Holy Spirit descends like a dove at Christ's...

Getting back to the OP.... 100% sure because I know my relationship with Christ. He's my Lord, my Savior, whom I honestly strive to follow (super-powered by Him). No, I don't believe in OSAS.

Yep and yep. If what you're asking here is "are the Father and Son two different persons", the answer is yes. LDS aren't modalists. And the Father did forsake the Son in that moment (see Matt 27:45-50).

Honestly I don't love God right now because of a future in Heaven -- I mean it's there and it's important and I'm grateful. But I feel God's love of me TODAY. I love Him for everything He does for me TODAY, and even besides that everything He's done for me in the past. All the future stuff in...

I don't have a problem with acknowledging that there's different denominations at all. We do each have different views than each other, and it's silly to pretend that isn't a fact. Though, it's equally silly to attack each other for it. Also, an individual views than the official explanation...

Yep. Always has.
