Sevenbak said:You seem to think that Mormons are the only ones who believe it's important to keep the commandments and do good works? The bible clearly teaches this time after time. It is through Christ only that we are saved, but he expects us to do our best to keep his commandments.
Actually if you read my quote I said you think it is important to do these things in order to earn exaltation. I am surprised at how slippery you are when it comes to changing the meaning of my posts.
Why do you think I am being slippery? Because I clarified your statement of what it means to be "exhalted?" To be a joint heir with Christ is something I strive toward trying my best to keep His commandments. When I fail, he picks me up and carries me. There is simply no subversion or "slippery" attempt here Color. Please don't go there.
What amazes me is someone who knows or should have known the true definition to LDS meaning and now assigns the traditional meaning is being disingenuous to me.
To do what a former member knew means they have to contort themselves to speak from the knowledge of the Trinity.
Because now they know what the meaning that the LDS use and the meaning that the Trinity means.
So trying to act ignorance of what the LDS mean and spin the Trinity terms is what I refer to a contortionist.
Myself as a convert I had little adjustment because as a former Trinty believer I only had to refer to the beganning of the Bible where it said in the beganning was the WORD and the WORD was GOD.
So the Lord is the author of all they vocabulary and the meaning of Father and Son has not changed because they are defining words of a family!
Jesus the only begotten had a Heavenly Family and enter earth with a earthly family!:)
