All the scriptures you wrote do not one particle of good if you are worshiping a wrong God. It is not disputed that Jesus Christ The Son of God came in the flesh. Christ did this so that He would live the perfect life and in our place die for us. He paid the price of our sins when He died on the cross in our stead. Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh. Only God could do the work of our salvation. Jesus Christ was always absolutely perfect and sinless. As God he did not work His way into perfection. As God-man He matured as all men do from a baby into an adult. Again the problem is that the Jesus you worship is another Christ than the one of the Holy Bible. The god you worship is another god than the God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of the Holy Bible. The true God is the only God. He Himself said beside Him there is none other. He is the creator of ALL things. He always existed as the only God of all of existence. He never was a man who became a God. He said I am that I am. He is the great I Am. Not a scripture or facsimile of a scripture that you wrote addresses these facts. I know when Mormons try to proselytize me they try to get me to pray with them a prayer about finding truth and God. The problem is that they are not part of the LORD because they do not really know Him. When they "pray" with someone it is the with the wrong spirit and that spirit is the spirit that comes through their prayer that they pray with you. You may feel something at that point but what you are feeling is not the Holy Spirit but rather a false spirit that imitates The Spirit of God. This is all done unwittingly. The missionaries believe that they have the right spirit and are passing it along. They also have been duped. They have fallen for a false God and a false Christ. Do you not know in your heart that the God of all of creation is the only God and that He is and always has been the only God, 100% God and 100% holy, pure and righteous? He is the only true God and totally worthy of our complete adoration and worship. We cannot ever be God. We must and can worship Him with all of our heart but we will never be God. The thing about Mormon doctrine is it elevates the ego rather than the LORD. This draws people into it because it makes them believe that they can become a God. It is the same as the New Age beliefs packaged a little differently. It tells you that you can become a god or even The God of your own universe. It also gives you an office in the Church that elevates the ego and makes you feel very important. This is how it draws you in. It works on the ego. It makes you feel that you have an important role in your own salvation. You yourself can work your way into heaven. The Bible teaches that you can only be saved by grace. It is Jesus Christ who did the work of saving us when He went to the cross and died to pay the price of our sins. All that we can do is humbly except Christ and the work that He did for us by living a perfect, sinless life and becoming the sacrificial spotless lamb when He died in our place on the cross. The Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but hath everlasting life. That is all we can do is believe on Him. This alone saves us eternally, not all the good works of the whole world. We are sinners unable to save ourselves, only Christ can save us. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is that simple. Add anything to it and you have works. We are not justified by works. But you must believe on the true and living Christ. He said that there would be many false Christs. The Mormon "Christ" is a false Christ, not The Christ of The Holy Bible. Put aside all indoctrination and get away to a quiet place. Pray to the God of ALL creation for understanding and read The Holy Bible. Your eternal life depends on it.

I thank you and understand you are contented...

But for me I wanted answers and I know that the Lord has answered my prayer and lead me to His Plain and Precious truths I also it is promise that more of Lord word will come forth...

Yes I have encounter these rebuttals during the time of my conversion.

It was interesting for at the time I investigate the things the opposition had to say against the Lord's Church I got this forbodden a fear...it can be confusing but when I would read the things of the Lord it would bring comfort, when I read the things of opposing team it would conjure all kinds of forbodden.

So as I pondered and knelt humbly before my Heavenly Father and ask of him in the Name of Jesus Christ, I was given peace and could discern which belong to the Lord and which was distortion of the word of the Lord!

John 14
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

These were the days of Walter Martin propaganda before my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints!

After my Baptize my discernment heighten lingered for a few weeks to allow me to know the place of which the Lord expected His children are to live!

All the things you Bellflower have posted is nothing new it is the same old gainsaying, many times repackage!

Again thank you
