Ping you know the Trinity was adjusted a few times the Nicene Creed is a product of man trying to make sense of the Godhead so a group of clergy put together their version.

It did not come from an anointed servant of the Lord such as a prophet or an apostle it was those who had no authority, maybe good intentions, and some of among them had other designs?

Sorry about that in the title before Nicene Creed it was the western who insert Filioque into the Nicene Creed in

[HiTech RedNeck]

For a Mormon to talk about Catholic adjustment of dogma is kind of like a pot calling a kettle black.

Anyhow all Christendom really needs to stop majoring in the minors, and minoring in the majors. All this folderol nearly renders Christ invisible at times.

The Holy Spirit can minister both the Son and the Father and that’s about as far as anyone but a scholar needs to go.

“It did not come from an anointed servant of the Lord...”

It came from the Church. The Church was founded by Christ. The Church was sent by Christ. It had all the authority it would ever need from Christ to teach the faithful - unlike a latter day sect made up by a convicted con man (soon turned polygamist) in New York in the 1820s.

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith

You are in over your head posting actual Christian information.

So, please tell us who decided that the lavers used in the early temples should be used to proxy baptize the dead?

I mean, it was you who claimed that the present day mormon temples engage in the exact same rituals of that era, wasn’t it?

I don’t recall seeing anything in the history of the lavers that gave any indication that they were used for anything other than cleansing bodies prior to entering the temple.

So how is the current mormon practice not a “product of man”? How can you claim that it came from “an anointed servant of the Lord, such as a prophet or an apostle” when God Himself struck down those who used “strange fire” in the temple?

I repeat, mormons are playing with “strange fire” by engaging in those unBiblical rites in their temples.
