Actually LDS 100% believe everything in the Bible about Christ. I'd be happy to clear up any misconceptions about that (because there are a million) via PM or in a different thread (I don't want to derail Micheal's).It appears that way, but when you dig deeper, the LDS Jesus is not the same as the Christ of the Bible, who is God as well as the Son of God.
Umm, aren't Jesus & Satan brothers, that's not recorded in the Bible. Jesus is the one and only God, right? He wasn't created by God on Kolob. It is a different Jesus that Mormon's believe in.Actually LDS 100% believe everything in the Bible about Christ.

Again, I'm happy to clear up all misconceptions on another thread. Let's not derail Micheal's.Umm, aren't Jesus & Satan brothers, that's not recorded in the Bible. Jesus is the one and only God, right? He wasn't created by God on Kolob. It is a different Jesus that Mormon's believe in.
OK, do that, will be fun.Again, I'm happy to clear up all misconceptions on another thread. Let's not derail Micheal's.

Yeah you're right Mr. Michael, it's your thread and all. So how was your time away to focus on Jesus, what happened?Yeah let's focus on the watchtower for now open a new thread if you want to discuss something else or do it in pms
i just read john 6 yesterday and here are some verse i feel kinda stick out to me and i don't know why?
John 6:36 "But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe"
John 6:37 "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out."
Jesus will draw you Michael, thats how he does it. These verses that stick out for you is evidence of that.i just read john 6 yesterday and here are some verse i feel kinda stick out to me and i don't know why?
John 6:36 "But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe"

Awesome advice!Okay this is what she wrote:
Hey just got this, I was in a meeting. How very exciting for him, and I'm sure scary. I hate to say this, but I would encourage him to initially start praying to Jehovah God in the name of Jesus Christ, to proclaim to God that he believes that Jesus could be the son of God, and ask God to show Him the truths of that in His Word, and in His prayers. He could pray that God surround Him with more believers in Christ that are solid in their faith to share with Him why they believe that Jesus was not just a good man, but was God in the flesh, and eternally God our Savior and Lord, but to do so with the greatest respect and without any pressure, just room to process and believe, and the Holy Spirit will do the work that He does to confirm truth in His heart, but also in His lived experience.
Until he explores that fully, which he can do very privately at first, there's no need to even alert his parents. But, if Jesus proves himself true, which He will, he may come to a point where he needs to discuss that with his family, but again, God understands where we are and wants good things for us, so He would guide this young man in his words and his timing, and plan for the outcomes in ways that are so much bigger than we could figure out on our own.
But lead Pastor's mom is Jehovah Witness (edited out name), and she came to one of his services, I believe, on his last birthday or something. Maybe he could offer more counsel for him as well, but I'm not sure.
It's not being shameful of your beliefs if you're still unsure what you believe. God is very merciful and extends great grace while we learn more about Him and come to see who He really is and choose to follow Him and be lead by Him with our whole hearts.
And to pray for someone strong in their Christian faith that he can speak to openly about his questions. That's a big one.
And yes, you might recommend the YouVersion app if he can add that to his phone, so he can explore other translations of the Bible and let that help him come to a more complete understanding of God.
And some take that disfellowshipping a whole lot further. (Edited name) grandmother is JW as well, and she helps them out with things all the time and she goes to their house alot, and lots of things.
She asked if you are in high school or college and thinks you can find someone to talk to there as well.
There are three primary revelations here:i just read john 7 and found some more verses that stuck out but not sure what they mean.
Jhn 7:28 - Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Jhn 7:29 - But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me
Jhn 7:33 - Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
Jhn 7:34 - Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
Jn 8:19 No man can *know* the Father (experientially) without the Son. And no man can come to the Father, except through the Son. Since these men refused to believe on the Son of God, they could not know the Father. The Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father. That is the mystery of God.Finished john 8 more verses
john 8:19
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Jhn 8:24 - I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Jhn 8:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
