“There are no ordinary people. We live in a society of possible gods and goddesses” (Weight of Glory, William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company [Grand Rapids, Michigan], pp. 1P15)...
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience as dictated by the President of the Church, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship however incorrectly, wherever wrongly, or whatever idolatrous beings they may, since Christian clergy are dimwitted hirelings of Satan.
No problem. I’m checking the end of this thread. Now I can go crawl back under my rock. Keep on keeping on!
Another non-answer, CTR there baby, CTR!
Psalms (82:1,6)
1 A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.
2 O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
3 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
5 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
6 For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
Odd how you mangle the Holy Writ there. I misdoubt that you have mangled CS Lewis as well. Playing word games is fun but doing so with the Word is wrong. I suggest you repent of such sins.
Indeed. Sadly what he said was a PERVERSION of THE WORD..
No, thanks for the link.
I love my Church. I love my Savior.
1- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge. [Three in One, by the way; God speaks to Himself and takes His Own council]
2- Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah
. 3- Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
4- Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
5- They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
6- I -- I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,
7- But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
8- Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

Verses two through four inform us as to the identity of these gods whom God judges. They are none other than judges, or magistrates of the land. They were rulers who were perverting judgment through their office and authority. Because of this it is declared, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes" (Psalm 82:6-7). The Lord had given these rulers their authority, but they abused it (Daniel 4:25, 30, 34-37; 5:18-22; Romans 13:1-4). As a result of their evil stewardship over the offices of God, the Lord said they would fall like one of the princes. In this passage, then, those who are called gods are human judges in the land of Israel.
Indeed. Does that love make it impossible for you to answer simple questions?
I am not required to answer any questions about my faith. This is America where we are free to worship as we see fit according to our own conscience. You are free to do the same. Hallelujah!
Did you know your own translation was so much different than the one your forefathers used? I’m trying to turn over a new leaf here, but honestly, how can you make such accusations without even looking up the King James Version, which you know we use. (and so, apparently did C.S. Lewis)
KJV - Psalms 82:
1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
What’s w/your poems? Does it make you feel ‘approved’ to post them or looking for approval?
It’s all surface - trying hard to make it all appear ‘nice’.
Fluffy sweet icing on the poisoned cake.
John 10:34-35
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
What little you read is a lie.
Does that make it impossible for you to answer simple questions?
Because it is true.
My sides ache from laughing at that preposterous idea.
As explained in some detail HERE:
Not only do [Lewis'] works not support the Mormon theology of deification, in fact they expressly contradict it. Each of the Lewis citations have been taken out of their contexts and twisted. In addition, frequently in his writings about humanitys eternal destiny, he carefully clarifies the eternal and impassible gulf between the only Creator and His creatures, including humans.In the future, you may want to do a little more research before posting such an obvious lie.
Okay, I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of All Mankind. His basic doctrine is that of repentence and love.
What is your problem with that? Hard to misquote?
Let me try again:
Is the Jesus you claim to worship the "spirit brother" of Lucifer or the "Creator" of Lucifer?
BTW I just think it is quite telling that you guys simply refuse to answer the question.
