re: 241

“I have. I just ask you to do the same, instead of closing your mind to a different possibility.”

>>>> That isn’t quite true. Please tell me what I have closed my mind to. I have made no declarations of support or denial concerning anything that has come under discussion here. I have asked questions about the so far unproven opinions concerning the “heresies” you claim against Mormons. If I had a closed mind I wouldn’;t bother asking questions, now would I?

You accusers really need to learn not to try putting words in other people’s mouths of thoughts and beliefs into their minds and hearts.

Sorry. I didn't mean to accuse you of closing your mind. I meant that you should try to keep an open mind to different possibilities. Just as I am sure that you did not accuse me of not thinking when you told me to "Think on it?"

I know there are some uncivil folks on these threads, but I have been trying to get an answer to a question about the nature of god as described in Morman texts. I don't think I have accused you of anything.

To repeat my question:

"I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity" (Moroni 8:18).

"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and in him there is no variableness, neither shadow of changing? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles" (Mormon 9:9-10).

"Here, then, is eternal life--to know the only wise and true God. And you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves--to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done--by going from a small degree to another, from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you are able to sit in glory as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power." - King Follett Discourse

Moroni and Mormon describe God as immutable and unchanging. TheKFD shows something else. How can you believe that God is at the same time immutable and changing, that from all eternity he was as he now is, but he somehow evolved from a mere mortal?

How is this possible?

No accusation. Just a question.

Is this a ONE way street??

Will you now...

...asked questions about the so far unproven opinions concerning the “heresies” the LDS members claim against Christianity?
