Ok, I am normally content to sit on the sidelines now in all this (ok I dip in some) seeing as my questions on the LDS were answered in these very forums. But you just made a statement that seems to contradict what I learned.

You say there is only one God, he has only one begotten son. We know from the Bible Jesus is the Lord. You have also referenced the Holy Spirit

So is that a trinitarian slip?

As in all things there is reason for my query.

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Thank you but it is confusing if one uses himself in an a way as in post #173

I am going to say it again:
because JS made himself above Jesus Christ: lds is invalidated.

Do not let a thread drift into a discussion "about" an individual Freeper.

If you had replied "that statement is false" the discussion would stay on the issues.

By saying "you seem to need to spread this falsehood" the discussion turns away from the issue and to the poster himself, his motives, character, etc.

If not nipped in the bud, a flame way or childish posturing can result causing the thread to be locked, etc.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Sorry kido you and yours would not know religious tolerance if it bit you in the behind.

Someone's own WORDS bite them and they feel no pain!

There may be lurkers here that will be deceived by those 'churchs'.

It's your Christian duty to help them avoid the error; don't you think?

Tisk tisk tisk. (shaking head)
These are JS words, BY words it is truly amazing that the words from your own esteemed leaders are words you are not willing to accept.

How could it be a “Trinitarian slip?”
The Bible plainly states that Jesus is the only Begotten Son of God and that he was visited by the Holy Spirit after his baptism by John the Baptist.

As Jesus was dying on the cross, he asked his Father to release him from the suffered. He couldn’t very well have prayed to himself.

Where do you find the inconsistency (if I may use that word?)

Cool. I’m not going to argue that point.
You can believe it if you want.

OK. Again, you have the floor. Your logic escapes me, however. But that’s OK. you believe what you want it, but it won’t change the FACTS.
