I prefer to exchange thoughts with people who wish to explain their own religious views and preferences. As an unchurched Episcopalian, I have plenty of grist for the mill about the current state of the Episcopal Church.

But, those who simply wish to diss someone else’s religion, no thanks, I have better things to do with my time.

Well you should been on some of these earlier in the week. Most of the posters here, myself included, had some very good discussions in doctrine.

I learned a lot even about Protestant and Episcopalians.

Sometimes these threads take a while to get off the ground.

Post on.

See? Now reaganut has shown up here and will be glad to demonstrate the true word of God without telling anyone they are wrong but instead misled or decieve by a people who one day hope to ascend to the status of god.

The problem with their premise on this issue is it is wholly heretical and well,... not good.

For I am a jealous God

For thou shalt have no other gods before me

Now if God wasn’t keen on ‘ole Belzebub’s plans, what makes anyone think they can ever achieve parity with God?

It seems like he doesn’t care for competitors.

And yet Mormonism states that God was once man and as such, man can become God.

So it makes me ask, where are the Mormon gods that ascended from man and why don’t they reveal themselves?

When do you become a God and on what premise is your gamesmanship improved? Who is the scorekeeper and aribiter of awarding this supreme status.

Can’t be my God, he doesn’t play well others who might one day deem themselves equal.

If God is the Alpha, meaning he existed before anything and the Omega, meaning the end of all things, how can we ever hope catch up to God?

Well, as an “unchurched Episcopalian” I can see why you would see it this way.

However, we are not here to “diss” someone’s religion, rather we are here to show the errors of the LDS church, heresies according to traditional Christianity (Episcopal church included) using LDS quotes, comments, the Bible, and our own experiences.

I used to be LDS. I have since left and still have many friends who are LDS. I want them to have the scales removed from their eyes and to see Jesus as who He really is, the Savior of the world, not as a “footnote”, a man who us just a little bit better than us.
