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.
re: 263
You will have to aska Mormon.
And, I still would like some answers to the several questions I have asked of the Mormon Bashers.
FoF,
Very good points about God which has changed and one which is unchanging. How does one rectify that paradox? Well, there are few things debated in Mormon theology, so my ideas are my own. But it is my opinion, that such a paradox is resolved, when we look at the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It is effects work forward and backwards eternally. One of its blessings is that we are forgiven of sin and that forgiveness is as if we have never sinned at all. God says he remembers it no more. Basically, the foundations of ALL the Universe and ALL the power and ALL the mercies of God rest upon and through the grace of Jesus Christ and Atonement of Jesus Christ.
It 'shows' that Moroni 8:18 was NOT believed, yet, it wasn't challenged by 'believing' Mormons!
