@FiredUpCoug Can’t argue with that. I love my .308 and would love a .50 BMG, but those wouldn’t beat out any of those four on my priority list. Good list.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@residentreformr Where does it say that in the Bible?

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@EvidenceOfFaith So you guys don’t believe Jesus was resurrected?

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@HolisticNicole Wrong. But y’all think babies go to hell if they die before they’re baptized.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@JaredHWood @ByuSome I have a buddy who did that in his neighborhood. I don’t own the home, so I can’t.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@DiscipleFidei Wrong

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@ByuSome I will never live in an HOA community again. It’s the worst.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@Thatbrian @GuyInco15542744 So you don’t think Jesus was resurrected? Or do you think God and Jesus are separate beings?

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@ASTROCHRONIC75 @RealCandaceO @TPUSA @AndrewKolvet The only thing owed is an apology to Charlie’s family and his organization he spent his life building that you people are trying to destroy.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@RealCandaceO @TPUSA @AndrewKolvet Because they don’t owe you a damn thing.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@FiredUpCoug Besides the fact that she’s got it backwards, she’s doing great!

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@JoelWebbon By their fruits ye shall know them.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@FatherChrisVor1 @erichard49 No, you’re actually using the language that some guys put together in an attempt to define God hundreds of years after Christ’s death.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@carleolson Then explain the Trinity to me.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@EricRSammons Silly goose, we do more to share our beliefs with the world than any other religion.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

In the sense that we are all children of God, yes.

But I’m guessing what you’re really asking is whether I think Jesus and Satan are equals, peers, or comparable beings.

Absolutely not.

Jesus is the divine Son of God, Creator, Redeemer, and Savior of the world. Satan is a fallen rebel. The distance between them is infinite.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@MarkBski This literally was me. I apologize. I do it every once in a while when I’m still trying to wake up in the morning and need something to wake my mind up before I lift.

I just wish they had enough clips for all of the bars they have. It drives me nuts.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

Thanks for your respectful approach, it is refreshing.

I think you’re conflating two different categories.

There are core beliefs that separate an LDS member from a non-LDS member. For example, the Restoration, Joseph Smith, priesthood authority, modern prophets, etc.

But “Christian” is a broader category than “LDS.”

A Baptist can reject the Pope and still be Christian. An Orthodox Christian can reject sola scriptura and still be Christian. A Lutheran can reject both and still be Christian.

So the real question isn’t whether doctrinal differences matter. Of course they do.

The question is whether belief in the Nicene description of the Trinity is the boundary line of Christianity itself. That’s the part I’m not convinced of.

[Ashton Vandermyde @AshtonVandy]

@BrooksPotteiger @BenZeisloft Yet it is, in fact, weak.

The problem with his analogy is that his fictional Mormon rejects Mormonism.

Latter-day Saints don’t reject Christ. We reject the claim that a 4th-century creed gets to redefine Him.
