:confused:o_O Very Christian

Scripture stands as truth as we read it at face value; historical context is rarely needed to be able to understand what has been written. Otherwise we would be reliant on history teachers in order to be able to correctly understand the Bible. It should be clear that according to the passage...

They are (He is) both one Person and three Persons. Rom 11:33, O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom 11:34, For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Rom 11:35, Or...

1 Corinthians 8:1-3 comes to mind. Knowledge is often imperfect. Love is most important. But if someone knows something about God; and then declares something that is not true of God contrary to their knowledge: I believe that they will be held accountable.

Consider Romans 4:4-8.

Eph 1:19, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Eph 1:20, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, The same power that raised Jesus...

Yes; and I do say that while they are in one sense distinct from each other; and that therefore the above is true: I also say that they are absolutely One. I don't remember the exact quote out of one of the creeds; but I do believe that it says that while the Father is the Lord, the Son is the...

It is meant to be preaching, not a concise thesis or paper.

Lay those scriptures forth. This should be interesting.

My view of the Trinity is neither modalism and neither is it in any kind of contradiction with the Athanasian creed.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are distinct from each other; but they are the same Person (not different Persons). There is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6) and scripture teaches us that this Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). Nevertheless, no one can say...

Actually, most Mormons are Tritheists because of the book of Abraham.

Makes me think of this verse: Psa 18:29, For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

I hope that you will consider, that it may be, that this command to repent is mandatory as concerning salvation; and that therefore if you disagree with that command, and therefore do not obey it, you may indeed be out of luck on the day of judgment. See Luke 1:37 (kjv), Matthew 19:26. Luk...

Thank you, and may the Lord abundantly bless you.

"ye are saved by grace, after all that ye can do" vs. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. It is therefore a matter of what you are saying Mormons believe vs. what the Book of Mormon teaches. If...

Also, clearly, John 5:24 teaches us that salvation by grace begins at the moment of first faith. However, the verse in question in the Book of Mormon teaches that I must do all that I can do before I will become a recipient of grace. And again, there is more that I can do after I have...

But you must accomplish the ultimum of works in order to be a recipient of grace, according to your verse in the Book of Mormon. Are you saying that that verse is ignorable by your standards? Again: there is always more that I can do after I have surrendered to Christ; and the verse in...

I can do works in order to try and save myself. Of course that won't fly with the Lord. But those works are done after surrender; and it seems to me that I cannot be a recipient of grace until I have done all the works that I can possibly do, according to the verse in question (in the Book of...

There is more that I can do after I have surrendered to the Lord. Therefore surrender in itself is not "all that ye can do"...there is more that can be done (in the way of works).
