    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    In other words, give me the scoop about what mormons believe about what they say when they say such things as, "Jesus is the Son of God." Because I happen to know that those words have a different meaning for you than they do for me.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    If I am administrating an essay test, I expect the student to put their answers into their own words and not use words that have one meaning for them and another meaning for the teacher. You need to break the language barrier by using words that translate well so that I understand what you are...

    You are being vague. Maybe you should wait until you can use your laptop or PC before responding.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    That is your concept of God that you determine from your own mind and thinking. Of course God made a threat in Revelation 22:18-19. Also, do you not believe in hell and then the lake of fire for those who are wicked? Is it not a threat that God has placed these things at the end of time...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    So, God is not an exalted Man in your theology?

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Salvation results in knowing God (see 1 John 2:20). Therefore, whether a person knows God is a good test of whether they are saved or not.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    You get a fail if I am the teacher; because you are not putting it into your own words.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Here, I'll give you a few pointers... God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Since you can easily ace the test if you know the Person of whom the test is about...I would say that the test is concerning as to whether you know God personally and not about head knowledge per se.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Not enough information. You failed to mention what you believe about the Deity of Christ; and, also, if you believe Him to be God, what you think it means that He is God.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Hey, it didn't originate from me... This was just the path we started to walk down when @Jane_Doe22 brought up the statement that a person is not saved by acing a theology test. I simply pointed out that if you fail the theology test, it would indicate that you don't know the God of whom the...

    I would say that God really means it when He places a threat on something.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I am not the one who administers the test....Christ is. But if it were my test, I would give three essay questions. 1) Who is Christ? 2) What does He want you to do? 3) What must you do to be saved?

    There is no threat of losing your soul over it in those three previous times.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Getting it wrong on the theology test indicates you don't know the God of whom the test is all about. Even the babe in Christ can get a good grade on the test if he asks the God who is the subject of the test what the answers are. It is definitely about relationship...and getting a detail...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Yes, He doesn't stop talking. What I'm saying is that He isn't going to contradict what He has said in the holy canon of scripture or add any new doctrines with new books when He has warned us that if anyone adds to the Bible, the plagues of the Book of Revelation will be added to him; but if...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    However, if you fail the theology test, it is a sign that you don't know the God who is the subject of all theology.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    No; but Revelation 22:18-19 teaches us that God will not say anything new that is contrary to what is already written in the canon of holy scripture.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    We will have to agree to disagree. For I believe that we have a closed canon that closes with the Book of Revelation. I feel bad for you...because your pov is going to place you smack dab in the center of hell. Because the Bible is God's revelation to man; and to reject it as being...
