26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.."
Just want your opinion no mean spirit intended.
That would be the Savior and His Father. Separate beings but one in purpose.
The Holy Ghost was sent on the day of Pentecost.
Before Christ, God’s people lived under the law. After Christ, God’s people live under the Spirit.
Quoting from the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 25:26 -
“And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.”
For the record, when Mormons are baptized, it’s immersion, and “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.”
I was raised a Southern Baptist and I hung around with pentecostals for a season - even served a mission with Youth With A Mission for 18 months in Belize, Central America.
All that time, I thought Mormons were nuts and going-to-hell deceived wackos. I also thought Joseph Smith thought he was Jesus Christ. I was shocked to find out several preachers had lied to me right to my face about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
You know those LDS Missionaries on bicycles? They are not monsters after all. Just sweet kids loving the Savior and serving people. For two years, they devote themselves to loving and serving others. It's amazing to me.
I have nothing against evangelical Christians. I just wish they had nothing against me, too.
Your Mormon FReeper pal.
I do not claim to be right but how would you explain this...
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..”
However in the very next verse...
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
That’s a darn good point! I’d never noticed that the next verse is singular. Only the trinity, or something like the trinity, seems to make sense putting the two verses together, Genesis 1:26 - 1:27, since one is plural and one is singular.
