Please answer yes, or no. I am not the cutesy one.
LOL! From my perspective you are.
U Said:
1. Do you believe there is more than one god?
AS I said Before, The Bible says "
1 Cor 8:5 that there are gods many and lords many, I believe the Bible. I believe there are many who make gods of sports teams and cars and money, yes, I would say that anything that takes our focus off of God could be called a "god" to us.
U Said:
2. I believe the Bible, just not your way of looking at it.
So it's only true according to your limited human understanding? Got it.
U Said:
I don't try and use single notes to make a symphony.
It's the only way a symphony is ever written by men, God can write all the notes at once, or just play all the instruments at once and no sheet music would be needed, I am a man and need to do my notes one at a time, I am sorry if that offends you.
U Said:
Is there more than one god, in Mormon theology?
No. God and Christ and the Holy Ghost are one in heart might mind and strength that to speak to one is to speak to all. This is the oneness spoken of by Jesus himself in
John 17:22 Follow the link, reread the whole chapter to make sure the scripture is in context:
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
it's not a one note symphony, it's a very important phrase, Jesus himself is drawing an analogy between the oneness the disciples were to have and his oneness with the Fathers. Jesus drew this analogy, don't dismiss it for some man made dogma. God the father and Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit are one, yet three this is the knowledge that was lost in that council in Nicea.
U Said:
Is Lucifer equal to Jesus?
Not ever.
U Said:
Is Jesus actually the same as God?
In every way that matters yes, they have separate bodies, but are one in heart might mind and strength.
I could ask you equally difficult questions about the trinity, but I won't because I don't care about a false doctrine only about testifying of truth.
U Said:
All of these things seem to be confused in the Mormon theocracy.
I understand, many have learned the Trinity so completely they can no longer see any other perspective, that is why Satan propagated such a doctrine.
U Said:
I have read that faulty tome, your BOM... and I know the Bible.
I have read both many times, they are both good reads, your calling the Book of Mormon faulty does not make it so, my glowing recommendation will not make it a better read, or truer, it is what it is, I can
offer a free copy to anyone who wants to read it, and I can link to my page on how to
Put our religion to "The Test". now that I have done so, you cannot stop anyone who is curious from finding out for themselves by clicking the link and getting a copy for themselves. Freedom of Choice, it's part of God's plan for you, chose to know.
U Said:
I have studied Classic Greek, in my quests.
Great, once I had learned Chinese, I keep slipping it into other languages as I learn them thus I have not been very successful since then, but from a standpoint of sheer numbers, I can preach the gospel to more people than you can...
U Said:
I sat with a Rabbi, to better understand the Hebrew Old Testament.
Good for you, I graduated from a Buddhist monastery to better understand those I was to teach of Christ, you seem to seek knowledge for yourself, I seek it to share the gospel.
U Said:
Joe Smith shouldn't hold the door for me. Gabriel has the key!
I don't care if the Door to heaven is held by Jesus, Gabriel, or Lex Luthor, or if it's a self serve door, as long as it opens to me, that's what matters.
Now let me ask you a few questions, if I may.
Is all truth contained in the Bible, and if it is, why did they need to have a council in Nicea?
If the Trinity, a defacto creation of the Catholic church is correct and of God, why aren't you a catholic?
Lastly, since you said you are not a Catholic, by what authority was the Church you go to organized, and where did that authority come from exactly?
Just curious, and I wanted you to see how difficult these "simple" questions are to answer in a straight forward way.
