@Latterdaytruth @CreedConfession Is he wrong? There are possibly an infinite amount of gods in the LDS view. You simply can't be sure.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@JEdwardsUtah @TheMackAbides The council fathers in general could not deny Christ's obvious divinity from scripture either yet they equally wanted to affirm monotheism. Mormon ideas of polytheism would have been unacceptable to the fathers.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@JEdwardsUtah @TheMackAbides As it involved a dispute about the nature of God that was important. Both sides wanted to preserve monotheism and Arrius thought the only way to do that was to understand the son as a creature.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@JEdwardsUtah @TheMackAbides They believed by in large that Christ was God, but also that there was one God and the Father was also God. The problem arose for the council when a presbyter, Arrius, started gaining a following teaching Jesus was a mere creature. The council was called solve the dispute.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@TheMackAbides @JEdwardsUtah I'm willing to admit differences, differences which prevent communion but none of the differences are comparable to the gulf which separates Christians from Mormons. Namely one thing we all have in common is the Nicene Creed.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@TheMackAbides @JEdwardsUtah No it's more about our differing confessions and bodies are utterly opposed to each other. LDS consider the confessions of Christendom by in large an abomination, their churches false and sacraments amounting to nothing. That is not a small difference.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@DefiantBaptist Good one. Haha.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@mitchellvii Actions have consequences.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@IronRodWarrior @HoldenCCole I'm fine with Mormons not wanting to be associated with Christians and Christianity. You should remain utterly distinct and seperate from wider Christianity.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@IronRodWarrior @HoldenCCole I'm just not going to consider you Christians. That's literally it.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@IronRodWarrior @HoldenCCole We treat you like we treat Gnostics or any other heretics. You aren't part of the faith we received and you reject our witness by in large. What do you as a Mormon expect when you call our core beliefs abomination?

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@IronRodWarrior @HoldenCCole The definition of Nicaea was built on the earlier theologians which came prior to it. This doesn't undermine the Christians who came before it. We wouldn't go as far as to say their theology was corrupt and their church false like you would.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@aaronhinton92 @EricRSammons @Ch_JesusChrist Except you've admitted thr faithful persevered regardless of the lack of authority and those who didn't persevere only fell into apostasy because of the lack of authority. God here is the reason for apostasy, not the faithful.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@aaronhinton92 @EricRSammons Who has the duty and responsibility to appoint Prophets and Apostles, God or the faithful?

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@aaronhinton92 @EricRSammons This dissolution of faith happened primarily because of the absence of Apostles and Prophets right?

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@OhJoeHenry @AbusedDucksFan @DezGoth Even Elijah taunted his pagan foes. Yet our rejection of you stems out of your rejection of us ultimately. It's foundational to your Church's claim that we are part of the apostasy. So why expect us to accept you?

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@OhJoeHenry @AbusedDucksFan @DezGoth But it annoys you so much :)

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@aaronhinton92 @EricRSammons That by definition is not apostasy but abandonment by God to thr faithful since the faithful are not responsible for appointing Prophets and Apostles.

[Ignatius K @KyleIgnatius]

@aaronhinton92 @EricRSammons If Christians by in large kept the faith calling it a great apostasy is wrong. It would be more apt to call it thr great abandonment.
