Pride is defined by the Church as hatred towards God and our fellow men. I do not care to lift myself up above anyone. I have a lot of pride despite my best efforts, and the lot of you are better than me. We are all guilty of it and need to repent. Remember Alma's words.
@davidHenkel20@Mormonger Never said you did, more do you have to use the word to fall into the logic of Modalism. By saying that the Father and the Son are the exact same entity because they share the same action (like saving), you are reducing their identities to one single actor.
@davidHenkel20@Mormonger You did this by listing overlapping functions to prove unity of essence, thus collapsing their unique identities into a single one fulfilling different tasks.
@davidHenkel20@Mormonger Modalism is the teaching that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are not 3 distinct, co-eternal persons, but are three different modes, roles, or manifestations.
@davidHenkel20@Mormonger Even if that were the case, you still did nestorianism and subordinationism. You know the used to burn people for that, right?
@catvon0 I know what is and is not scripture better than the Orthadox Church ever will because I actually have a direct link to God through my priesthood authority, and don't believe the heavens are closed.
@catvon0 According to God. The claim of the LDS is that he restored the same powers of the Apostles to Joseph Smith. I received my authority through a line that traces back to Joseph, who received it from Peter, James, and John.
