    Then I guess we agree. :clap

    Question for trinitarian christians

    While you may interpret these passages to say that God is our literal Father (in the sense that we were all born first as spirits in the first estate) I don't believe Hebrews 12:9 is making that connection. Rather, a better cross reference would be Numbers 16:22 and Numbers 27:16. As far as...

    Question for trinitarian christians

    That is what Arias' group taught. "that Christ was a "similar substance" (homoiousios) as the Father." Orthodox Christianity teaches "that the Son is "of the same substance" (ὁμοούσιος) as the Father." Notice the difference between being just...

    Question for trinitarian christians

    Ok, so they are not the same person. You haven't proven anything against Trinitarians. Maybe Oneness Pentecostals but not Trinitarians.

    Was Satan really an angel?

    In case anyone cares . . . Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool:

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    I don't possess any original manuscripts. No one does. However, just because the manuscripts we do have are not literally "inspired" does not mean they are not extremely accurate. Did you know that there are "over 5,600 copies and fragments of the New Testament in the original Greek that...

    Mormon Temples - Sacred or Secret?

    OR, it could be that there "intent" is to be brutally honest with you and they know it could hurt a little, they want you to know their true motivation is to help not hurt (or offend) you. Usually, when someone wants to offend another person, they don't pre-qualify the offense. They just come...

    Mormon Temples - Sacred or Secret?

    Would my personal testimony be evidence enough? I used to work for IBM and one of our clients (Dillards) would have us come in to do PM (preventative maintenance) on their computers. I would have access to the security area (where all the monitors were) and it is true that they would monitor...

    Jesus is God?

    In the Bible it speaks of the LORD God (YHWH Elohim). Jehovah is not Christ's pre-incarnate name any more than Elohim is God the Father's name. Since both the Father and Son are the same God (or Godhead) then it makes sense they would share the same names (such as Jehovah or Elohim). As a...

    Jesus is God?

    That is one view. But not the only one. Nice strawman you've knocked down. But Trinitarians do NOT "try to make God three persons in one God". Rather, we take the evidence as presented in the Bible and draw our beliefs from it. The Bible clearly states that there is one God. The Bible...

    Jesus is God?

    I think "Josef the prophet" is a member of the Watchtower group aka Jehovah's Witnesses and they teach that Jesus is a mighty god but not God Almighty. Hope that makes sense.

    The children of Jesse

    Jesse had 8 sons. I don't know how many daughters he had.

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    The only "Word of God" that I recognize is the original inspired words spoken by the Apostles and Prophets sent by God. I also recognize the original "autographia" manuscripts as the written word of God. However, the copies and translations which came later, imho, only contain the word of God...

    Thanks for the instruction. I gladly accept it. I'll take my leave of this particular forum for now. Bye. :run:
