@dr_owenanderson@Sola_GPT That's what everyone means when they say create. You're the one creating a bespoke definition of a common word to support your theology.
@JustinPetersMin@BasedMikeLee As a "Mormon" I believe that Christ:
- is co-eternal with God
- is uncreated
- took on Himself all the sins and suffering of mankind
- is the way, the truth and the life
- is my Savior
- was God and Man
I'm curious where you learned that we don't affirm those?
@drantbradley That doesn't have to contradict your view. The Book of Mormon declares Christ is the Eternal God. We believe He is uncreated, the Son of God, begotten by the Father.
@drantbradley The "gospel" is the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. It is literally the same gospel in that sense.
If you're going to require the Protestant view of sola fide then you're also excluding Catholics, Orthodox and most every Christian before the Reformation.
@drantbradley What's a divine essence?
The modern Latin Trinity is a post Biblical development that most members of most Christian sects don't even believe. It's an incomprehensible mystery for most those that do accept it.
@drantbradley That's more of a speculation some leaders and members have held, not an official doctrine.
You can certainly believe that God had always been God and be a member in good standing.
@HansFiene@Egotiator βThe Father is greater than I.β - Christ
βYou belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.β - Paul
Any definition that excludes these two seems broken.
The fact that robotics isn't unilaterally solved is just an algorithms gap. All of the silicon valley companies doing "robotics" right now with their data collection meme are on the wrong path entirely.
It's surprising that robotics isn't really, actually solved. It's not hard
@HansFiene@Egotiator Oh, I thought you'd go the Bible or the apostolic age.
That 6th century creed also excludes early followers of Christ who would have no idea what substance means and were subordinationists.
So, weird definition, with which I definitely disagree.
@HansFiene@Egotiator You wrote a clear misrepresentation:
"So when the Mormons tell you that they believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are "one in purpose, but not one in nature," "
We believe they are one in nature. The disagreement is over the claim of one in substance, a non-Biblical concept
@realDrTT Cool.
Three divine persons, each whom have a divine nature. I agree mostly. It seems kinda LDS because it doesn't mention consubstantiality or coequality.
How can DivineNature have multiple attributes if it has the "simple" attribute?
Do one for Jesus' two natures!
