This is why Christianity is different from every other religion. Every other religion is man trying to work his way towards God. Christianity is “God did the work for you, do you believe?”
@AZ_BigVanilla@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner You quoted Scripture, yes, but you made no actual argument. Without an actual objection, I’ll read John 17:20-26 in the way Jesus meant it to read: as Trinitarian
@JeffBlosil@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner I could be mistaken, but I don’t think I actually made any claims about LDS theology in our conversation. I posted the Creed and only really discussed that
Your DMs are locked, can I wait for you to message me? I’m not really interested in talking in comment chains any further
Yk at first you do the 6-7 ironically to relate to the kids...then you get addicted to it. Every time someone says those numbers in that order your arms can't help themselves. They just do it. Pope Bob is not immune to this.
@JeffBlosil@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner That’s fair. I’m not a master of LDS theology, but I do think most of what I have seen doesn’t reconcile with the Bible.
You seem honest and genuine, I would love to learn what the accurate LDS belief system is. Would you be comfortable to continue this discussion in DMs?
@AZ_BigVanilla@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner It is different. The identity of God is more significant than authority of the Pope.
Do you have any actual objections to the creed or are you just wasting both of our time?
@JeffBlosil@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner We’re not going to change the topic until you address my previous points about the creed. Can you provide any instances where the creed theologically disagrees with what the Scripture says?
@JeffBlosil@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner Is true. That’s why I provided an image with Scripture references showing that it’s true. If you disagree with the Scripture I quoted, then I’d be happy to talk about that! But I’m not assuming anything, I’ve provided evidence for my claim
@JeffBlosil@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner I apologize, Jeff. My statement about not refuting the argument was a response to Manhattva posting emojis while ignoring my claim. That wasn’t directed at you, I’d love to dialogue with you!
That being said, no. I don’t assume my claim of the Nicene creed affirming Scripture -
One thing I will say in defense of the Mormons, they fully expected to be vindicated when they turned the papyri over to the Egyptologists. I wish more Christians had faith like that. Now Mormons, take that faith and become Christian. The yoke of Christ is easy, and His burden light.
@AZ_BigVanilla@Manhattva@Kurt_Steiner False dichotomy. The creed just states what the Bible conveys in different words, hence the Scripture quoted above.
So you’re not able to argue against the Scripture I provided to support the creed? It’s okay if you’re not, no other Mormon I’ve encountered has been able to
@Manhattva@JeffBlosil@Kurt_Steiner Notice; you can’t refute my point, so you laugh to save face. Your only options in honesty are either to prove how the creed goes against Scripture, or admit that your beliefs go against Scripture, repent, and turn to the true Christ
