An inheritance is something received because of relationship, not earned by status or strength. I love Hannah's prayer. She understands how Christ can take us from the dunghill to the throne of Glory. I never realized that this verse existed. It connects to Romans 8 and Rev 3!
@Salt_n_Smoke The very fact that Christ repeatedly says "My Father" and teaches people to pray to the Father suggests He was revealing a higher understanding, not merely repeating what Israel already knew.
@Salt_n_Smoke If ancient Israel already knew the Father exactly as Christians know Him today, why did Jesus spend so much time introducing, explaining, and revealing the Father throughout the Gospel of John?
Infinite immigration has been sold to the French people and how awful is their situation. Paris is being burnt to the ground because of this belief that we need infinite migration! Arks sink when you don't fix the leaks!

@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 Joseph Smith answers many of the questions I have about Christ and his Father that no other organization or person has or can answer. He is a prophet because his teachings are powerful and life changing. Prophets sadly are rejected for many reasons.
@JasontheLayman Even if they had the knowledge to refute all your arguments would it be enough? At the end of the day it is the spirit that converts and nearly a million members have been brought into the church because of these humble missionaries who are servants of the living Christ.
Relative truth is what fallen societies are made up of.
Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
@elyawda You can't base everything on one verse. You have to study everything on the topic otherwise you get a distorted view. The unity described is just like Christ describes it in John 17. Everyone can be one with the Godhead. Trinity is not a biblical term either.
@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 Google is not the arbiter of truth. Have you ever read the Book of Mormon? One of the biggest prophecies in there is that people would not want to read the book because of their zeal for the Bible. What is ironic is that very few Christians actually have read the Bible.
@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ in the sacred Grove in 1820. I bear my witness. He restored the fullness of priesthood authority, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the lost teachings of the plan of Salvation. He made mistakes but God doesn't require perfection.
@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 When Christ in Matthew 5:19 says he doesn't do anything but what he sees the Father do that implies he is doing everything his Father did. It's right there in the Bible. Seems like you are more interested in what the Creeds say about the Bible.
@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 Then why was Jesus born, die and become resurrected just like his Father? Seems like a process of becoming perfect per Matt 5:48. John 5:19 The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
@vespa_the_goat@The2nd1776 Critics often use a simplistic formula:
One failed prediction = false prophet.
But the Bible itself is more nuanced.
For example, Jonah prophesied:
"Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."
Nineveh was not destroyed because the people repented. Was Jonah a false prophet?
