Latter-day Saints are Christian’s

We are not creedal Christian’s and we do NOT want to be.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@AmericanALCHMY there is nothing worth hearing from Jeremy after his first f-bomb.

[Latter-day Truth @Latterdaytruth]

We reject the creeds. We are Christians.

[Dem Saints @LDS_Dems]

It is weird to me that modern Christianity has drawn the line around the Trinity, a concept Jesus never taught....

....and not around the need for baptism, something Jesus was VERY specific about.

I really dislike all the attacks on my Mormon friends on here.

Mormons are some of the most Christlike people you will ever meet. They operate in charity and self sacrifice.

And you know what? They put family at the core of their lives. They love children and view them as blessings from God. I know a lot of Christians who have terrible views on children and family.

America has a lot of problems and I think the last possible problem is the Mormon community.

I obviously disagree with their theology or else I would be Mormon. But give me a break about heresy and doctrine when there are over 40,000 different interpretations of Christianity since the Protestant reformation.

[Travis Lincoln Cox @TravLCox]

All this Mormons v "Christians" stuff has me cracking up. You're saying the devil has inspired a whole "cult" of people to live decent, kind, generous, Christ like lives, they even worship Christ, but the grand deception is in the fine print?

Lol.

[Bill Wright @bilywonka]

Moment of silence for Peter, James, and John who lived before the Nicene Creed and therefore were not Christian :(

[Brigham's Burner @FiredUpCoug]

When you say I have to accept “the Nicene Creed” to be Christian, could you be more specific?

Do you mean the creed produced in A.D. 325 at a council convened by the Roman emperor Constantine, who was trying to settle the Arian controversy and preserve unity in his empire?

Or do you mean the version most Christians actually recite today, which comes from A.D. 381, when another Roman emperor, Theodosius I, convened the First Council of Constantinople to settle further disputes and more fully define the doctrine of the Holy Spirit?

Because that seems like a pretty important distinction.

One was created under Constantine, a Roman emperor with no priesthood authority, whose interest in Christianity was inseparable from his interest in imperial stability.

The other was expanded under Theodosius, another Roman emperor who used state power to enforce religious uniformity.

And somehow I’m supposed to believe that my faith in Jesus Christ is invalid unless I accept the theological conclusions of emperor-sponsored councils held centuries after Christ and His apostles?

You are free to trust those councils, led by rulers of the same empire that crucified Christ.

But please stop pretending that your post-biblical, politically entangled, imperial committee language is simply “biblical truth.”

And stop acting like you have the authority to decide who is and is not Christian based on a person’s willingness to pledge allegiance to Rome’s preferred definition of the Divine.

@LatterDayDrPepr Thanks. btw...I am also a Colo native; 3rd generation born in C/S....Palmer HS.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@LatterDayDrPepr I hope I didn’t offend you. If I did, my sincere apologies.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

We have one solemn national day each year set apart to remember those who gave their lives in service to their country. (November’s Veterans Day recognizes all living or deceased veterans.)

Whatever our views of government, war, or institutions, Memorial Day should remain dedicated first and foremost to honoring the fallen. So please visit and honor your deceased family grave sites on any other of the 364 days in the year.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@LatterDayDrPepr Bluntly, I feel dishonored by those who have remade this holiday into a family history rememberance and removed the veteran connection. “They” have hijacked the only annual day, a solemn day, to remember those who died in military service.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

No I am not. Black pill? No, being real. I took down my flag last year and will no longer hand over heart. I am NOT proud of the “country” I served while USAF. It’s been a lie to think that we are the good guys. That said—-there are millions of citizens who are awesome. Millions who have also served in some capacity, and more so- the thousands who died under the deception. Honorable no doubt, but unfortunately, most of the deaths were not for constitutional liberty, but for power, control and greed.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@IronRodWarrior I agree and disagree. I agree how aligned the full doctrine of Jesus Christ is with disclosure. I disagree that most members would be able to move forward w/their faith intact. Soo many get itchy when discussing Lectures on Faith, King Follett, etc. "It" would start from within..

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@AwakenedOutlaw Those of faith need a "box" for non-human intelligence. How does NHI fit into your understanding & belief of divine creation? "Demons" is inaccurate & incomplete. Have you read an apocryphal writings? Asked why were removed from the "canon?" Invite you to find out why...soon.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@dustinharding Interesting to me that some dismiss as not relevant to their salvation /exhaltation. I say...are you sure? If "giants" are the same as Enoch's watchers -- and those folks are due to come again -- do you have a box to put "them" in so you don't lose your faith?

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@bmariner @dustinharding Are you sure? If "giants" are the same as Enoch's watchers and those folks are due to come again...do you have a box to put "them" in so you don't lose your faith and therefore exaltation?

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@Latterdaytruth Priesthood channels are not perfect...not infallible. The HG will correct. The better question is what to do when that happens.

[Ron Phelps @It_Matters]

@realkaralynch @KatiePavlich @seanmdav "American values"....you mean Judeo-Christian values. That is the issue...collectively we have lost our biblical roots and have gone the way of secularism.
