No, Not all "Christians" as you define it.
Even evangelical scholars recognize that the book of revelation was not the last book written...
That's a theological pre-supposition your pastor/teachers have told you.
Scholarship dates the book of revelation around 95 A.D.
The Pastoral epistles were dated critically around 100-140 A.D.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

Jesus ended all magic? That's a theological presupposition you hold...

Which faith Tradition do you hold? Atheism?
As Jesus told the woman at the well "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship".

God restored his gospel speaking through prophets and apostles as He always has when man fell into apostasy.
You teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but you deny the power thereof.

@LadyDemosthenes As Jesus told the woman at the well.
You do not know what you believe.
You also don't know what we believe.

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

@LadyDemosthenes You don’t even know what you’re arguing about.

@asophiething Do you think Moses's staff had power?
Aaron's Rod? The Divining Cup?
How about the Garments that God clothed Adam & Eve with in Genesis? Do you think that God would set them on their way without protection?

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

Sadly, You don't believe the same Jesus taught in the Bible.

You've sadly misplaced LDS theology into a context that has never been given.
Jesus was never created, None of us were ever "created".
If you ever learn anything of LDS theology, know that we don't think anyone or anything is created. It all has existed eternally.
Have a blessed day.

@LizzieMarbach I think that 2 Cor. 11:3-4 applies more about the Trinity that it ever applies to anything in LDS Theology...
The Trinity is a "mystery" and leads more people to atheism every day.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

@emuse1955 Or How Catholics are apostates. The Bishop of Rome was never given complete dominion over the Body of Believers as a Whole. Why did the Bishop of Rome think in the 11th century that he was the infallible vicar of Christ?

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

@AmerRef1517 @LewisHHenley @DefiantBaptist Are you reformed? Why?

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

We don't claim the book of mormon was in the bible. Nice way to pull a claim out of it's context.

How do you know the creeds are drawn from scripture?

There are very specific lines in the creeds about the son being consubstantial with the Father that are NOT in scripture in ANY context/shape/form.

As for the other assertions. I doubt you engage with the scholarship at all if you make baseless claims then throw mud.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

@AlabamaAnglican Sadly you have no idea what you believe.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

@gaptoothdummy What do you think the gospel is? And what do you think we teach?

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

@AlabamaAnglican I actually feel bad for you. You don't know what you believe.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

You mean "post apostolic history". There I fixed it for you.
90% of what you believe is a tradition brought after the deaths of the apostles and not becusse of them or Jesus.
We don't the Creeds as being required for Salvation becuasse they teach that God is not actually your Father. To You God is just your pet master creating you for his "glory" whether your predestined for hell or not.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

No it's not... it's a warning about adding to the book of revelation...
The Bible wasn't compiled when revelation was written.
That is the most ignorant argument I've ever heard and the audience is now dumber having heard it.
Do you think honestly think the book of revelation is the last book of the bible written?

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

My personal revelation is solid. Matter of fact. There are many more Witnesses to the Book of Mormon's Truth.
Have you read the Book of Mormon?

By your standard, how do you know your own reasoning is reliable? Your confidence in your cognitive faculties is also a subjective psychological experience. You can't step outside your own mind to verify it.

The parity argument cuts both ways. Courts don't throw out all eyewitness testimony because some witnesses lie, they evaluate corroborating evidence. My witness comes with Eight additional witnesses who never recanted, a testable text, and an open invitation to ask God yourself (Moroni 10:3-5). What corroborates the Hindu woman's experience? The question isn't whether experiences occur, it's whether they're supported. Yours is a standard that eliminates all knowledge, including your trust in your own logic.

@yarritsblake @emperorthesteve Thanks for the discussision.

[BringYourTruth @BringYourTruth]

Interesting notion and I recognize that. The problem is that the apostles set the ground work for what is considered revelation. Not the Catholic Church.

While certain issues may seem vary in salvific nature, and regardless of the circumstances, Revelation has & was given by God through his Holy men/Living Oracles.

Examples would be:
1. Paul's change to circumcision(considered a salvific issue),
2. Peter's rooftop vision on Clean and Unclean Foods (Acts 10:9-16; Mark 7:19)
3. The Sabbath (Colossians 2:16-17; Romans 14:5-6)
4. Levirate marriage
And more...

Many issues not considered "Salvific" but were still provided revelation.

I agree new concepts can be tough.
Imagine what the Israelite males thought when Abraham told the "This is what we're going to be doing"(talking about circumcision)...
I'm sure they we're lining us by the dozens...

@Coopskiii @QuayeRoyal @emperorthesteve Because I have prayed about it and received a witness to it's truth by personal revelation.
