How can you use logic on someone who lives by emotion?
LDS.org is too boring. It cannot possibly compete with a site that tells us who really shot John Lennon.
Or not.....
* In England, the Churchs Millennial Star printed the same article, perpetuating the error:
What ERROR???
None has been shown.
You 'beleive' that the things done in the Temples are very necessary; yet NONE of those things done there are to be found descibed in your books that you call scripture.
I find that to be a bit strange.
BAD dog!
DNA and the Dead Sea Scrolls how do the pieces fit!
I get to say what the ISSUES is!!
Why?
AHA!!!
PROOF that you HATE us!!!
--MormonDude(Saddened by this show of bigotry!)
They are practicing Doctrines of Men.
**********************************
you would agree, is polytheistic, multiple Gods, if as others have stated (some) men are destined to become God(s).
I am just courious if it is One God as you claim than why did not our Jewish brothers and sisters have a problem with the Messiah the only begotten Son of God the Father in Heaven?
Do you know what it means to be joint heirs as in Romans 8?
Romans 8
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
So what are you D-fendr, if you are lead by the Spirit of God chop liver?
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
If the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God what are you D-fendr Chop liveer?
Luke 12
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Man, a Spirit Child of Heavenly Father

Plerase STOP hijacking this thread with non-DNA analysis, or I will be forced to go to the Moderators !!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a hypocrite resty
You are a hypocrite resty
We are on the Religion Forum now or did you not see that FastCoyote?
The RM is not going to stop those from posting non DNA so one does the best they can and move forward!
So you say; but you seem to have missed the point of my question. Let me spell it out: Why do you find it strange that the LDS temple ordinances are not described in detail in the LDS standard works?
I might add, Why do you find it necessary to comment on whether the temple ordinances are found in the scriptures? This is not the first time you have done so. I find that a bit strange.
I cannot claim for myself any deep knowledge of those doctrines; however, if we accept the idea of a hypostatic unionand could understand itthe human nature of Jesus certainly changed; the divine nature presumably did not. Stated that way, that is not too different from what I said previously.
It's quite far from LDS teaching of course, but it's complete. You could look for "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" by St John Damascene for the long form.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will look it up.
On another tack, it is pretty much universal in all religions that God is infinite in being (The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity also holds this). This of course is what makes it monotheistic.
Much depends on what you mean by "infinite." We believe God is infinite in goodness, power, glory, knowledge, and so forth. However, we believe him to be finite in the sense that he possesses a physical body. Therefore, he occupies a particular point in space; he is not omnipresent.
I believe we've touched this point before, but LDS, I think you would agree, is polytheistic, multiple Gods, if as others have stated (some) men are destined to become God(s).
No, I would not agree that we are polytheistic. As I have said before, polytheism connotes the worship of multiple gods, usually personifying the forces of nature. Mormons most assuredly do not worship the Sun, the Moon, or the stars, or a Pantheon of gods.
Some polytheists also worship their ancestors; we do not. Nor do we worship angels or prophets.
We are taught to worship God the Father, in the name of the Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost. We see the three as constituting one governing power in the Universe. In that sense, we are monotheists.
However, some prefer to reserve the term monotheism for Judaism or Islam (which do not recognize Jesus as divine) or for Trinitarian Christianity (which considers Jesus as God). For them, I will admit to being a tritheist.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal!
“Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal!”
I will try to do so. I just get a little frustrated at being baited time after time by the same people, who run off to the moderators to try and get me banned. The last time this current poster did this, they accused me of all sorts of nasty things, then had to say “oh never mind” when it turned out they were talking about someone else. You should understand the first to use the term FastCootie was not me.
Sorry FastCoyote if you thought that was my objective it wasn’t I too am frustrated that one can’t even post on a secular topic with the Thread being hijacked!
You among many I might add.
Why you because after all the critics of the LDS than you merrily come along with Romney and politics...
I am thinking hey what’s going with my DNA/DSS thread?
It was not personal FastCoyote it was quit hijacking my thread.
I did appreciate MHG at least finding out it was non religious in nature but it did not matter folks wanted to vent on the LDS!
Any sighting of the LDS it very attactive to Red Bulls and Coyotes!
Run, Forrest, run!!!
