Please explain to me why men need to settle Theological disputes and not God. Please explain to me how men, without God's assistance settle these disputes. [DelphiUser]
(This coming from somebody who belongs to an organization where the stress is on men's revelations? ... from an organization where the stress is that 100% of everything God does is revealed to prophets? ... Based upon a literal, wooden interpretation of Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.)
Last question is someone who believes in Jesus, but has a diff rent understanding than you do "passing themselves off" or do they really believe?
Believing in the "wrong" Jesus is no light matter. The apostle Paul asked the Corinthians: Suppose someone comes to you and preaches about a Jesus different from the Jesus we preached about? (2 Cor. 11:4)
Likewise Jesus made it clear that it wasn't simply just knowing any old god. He prayed to His Father: "And THIS is eternal life -- that you KNOW the ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent." (John 17:3)

Please show me where the church teaches to follow the relations of men and not revelations from God...(you can't)

I assure you it's not
My fault the Bible says that. Since it does, I have to ask do you believe the bible? or just the parts that agree with you? Or is it that you have a more liberal view of the Bible as a "living document" that c an be changed to fit the times?

Which is exactly what happened with the
Trinity! (Ya think he was prophesying?) Colofornian:

Yeah, execpt that with the trinity, you only have to know Jesus, because he's his own father
This is how this sounds to people not raised with the trinity <-- funny video!
With an Arian view you need to know god the ?father and his Son Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
Ya know, what's funny about all this is that Mormons can understand Evangelicals and Protestants and Born agains, none of them truly understand us, or they join us. This phenomenon of "Orthodox Christians" who have their eyes opened and gain a testimony and become Mormons is why Anti's fight so hard against people
Getting a Book of Mormon, and praying about it. there is no other reasonable explanation for the opposition to those simple, Godly steps.
