Congrats your son returning home from his mission. My son also just returned a few days ago. Whst mission did your son serve in Guatemala? I ask because that is where I served my mission some 30 years ago! Today my mission areas touch 3 different current missions in Guatemala, City Central, Antigua and Reu missions.
It’s just funny cas your God is not worthy of my worship at all. It’s just so beneath and incomplete. I can never see myself leaving my faith, my testimony is beyond sure, but if I did I could never go to the creedal Jesus. There is a reason why many that leave the LDS faith turn agnostic. It makes total sense once you have the restored truth. Your creedal God makes no sense!
Your response caused me pause. I’m all for good faith conversations but I just don’t have the energy or time for anything toxic.
How familiar are you with the translation claims of The Book of Mormon? What is it that you understand how Joseph Smith put forth the Book of Mormon? I guess we can start there. I don’t want to assume anything if we are going to discuss in good faith.
@KonradIMasovia@jaredadairbell And actually YOU are the one that made the claim Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon. I don’t believe you can back that claim. Many have tried; all have failed.
@vajolleratzii@MonogamistJoe Nothing in the Bible contradicts “Mormonism”. It does however contract creedal Christianity and many other beliefs held by evangelical Christian’s.
It’s hard. And it’s happening all too often in this generation. I have a wok son who thinks we’re evil and has entirely cut us off. I’m sorry. I find comfort in knowing our Heavenly Father loves him, has a plan and nothing is temporal. The binding covenants we make are eternal.
@Hail_Winter@johnymac1288 Then why do you believe in Trinitarianism? It’s not Biblical. The creedal view of God is heavily influenced by Greek metaphysics, especially Neoplatonism. That’s the Jesus you believe in.
Where does the Bible state “These books present the Scriptures as complete, sufficient, and closed, with explicit warnings against any addition to God’s revealed word.” And also where does it stare in the Bible “The 66 canonical books leave no room for, and explicitly warn against, any additional “testament”? All of the scriptures you posted none of them state either of those 2 things
@JBelcourt73@Primary_Pianist No it doesn’t. The creedal view of God is shaped by post biblical Greek metaphysics, particularly Neoplatonism. This video really explains it https://t.co/vezWleF87H
