@josephpratt22@nikiped1aV2@Toneskeee@FiredUpCoug What are you talking about?? She didn’t respond to an obvious flaw of her faith.
Am I suppose to quote a scripture in order to object to her claim?
Hypocrite?
@didachedave@FiredUpCoug No it doesn’t! A child reading the story of Jesus being baptized understands there are three distinct beings. It’s ludicrous to think Jesus made a voice from heaven, “this is my Son in whom I’m well pleased”
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.
@nikiped1aV2@Toneskeee@FiredUpCoug She has a witty response to everything/everyone… and then, whoops, crickets…when you actually point out the obvious flaws of their religion that have nothing to do with actual scripture. What a joke.
@asophiething It’s obvious reading your posts you are a bitter antagonist with an extremely hard heart. Something happened to you and you are blaming Mormons for your some of your bitterness. Sad. You hate mormons? Fine. Go live your life. Move on. Let it go.
@kyle_hotvedt@DJJazzyJody Dive deeper into what turn the other cheek use to mean. Jesus didn’t just turn the cheek at everyone, all the time. He stood up to the evil of his time. They crucified him for it. That mindset has led to Christians getting steamrolled on modern issues and ushered in wickedness
@gregbettinelli Held ballots back!?!? How in the hell do any of you think that’s ok?? Why even have an Election Day? We should just make it an election week or month so we all get the outcome we want right?
@Drexelawbd@DJJazzyJody Oh cool. I agree. The trinity isn’t real. You are following a false God. No worries man. I’m just being Christlike cause I love you. Now stop believing the nonsense you were taught. Christ’s baptism clearly shows three distinct beings. Simple.
