I have to leave...
I looked quickly through Wikepedia under Mormonism...LDS.
So far I haven't seen anything alarming.
The Trinity is different....
Instead of 3 in 1
It becomes 1 in 3
Some Christians think like this...it's not easy to understand the Trinity
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 without beginning nor end.
The Father is not the Son, nor vice verse. Christ doesn’t pray to Himself. Neither of them are the Spirit. They are 3 different persons.
The Father, Son, and Spirit together are 1 God (are monotheists).
Christ was/is the great I Am, the Only Begotten Son of God.
Christ was one with the Father before the Earth was created. He then created the Earth, was born of a virgin, lived a mortal life with lots of suffering, took the world’s sins upon Himself, died on a cross, rose again on the 3rdday, later rose to heaven, and is coming back again.
The difference comes in:
LDS Christians believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are 1 God through unity.
Athanasian Christians believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are 1 God through consubstantiation (Consubstantiality - Wikipedia).
What difference does this make in the day to day:
Not much at all. Realistically, a lot of people sitting in Trinitarians pews have never even heard of the Athanasian Creed. This is a level of deeper theology which doesn’t really affect day-to-day.
I happy to explain things! Unfortunately, Prof Google isn't really you friend here (there's a ton of bad information out there).I'd find it interesting to really understand the differences.
Haha- LDS Christian are the must extreme un-Calvinist people you can find!I like that you're not calvinist.
Sounds great.[/QUOTE]Maybe tomorrow?
I'll be following along.
