The first thing that strikes me about the Mormon doctrine is the belief ... “As man is, God was, As God is, man may become” - this is so obviously the original sin - “I will be like the Most-High” for both Lucifer and Adam/Eve - “He knows you will be like Him”...I need not go further into the teachings of LDS than that. I do pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of those blinded by these lies and save them.
There are a lot of mysteries we don’t understand
How about this one
1 Tim 3
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
received up into glory
Did not Jesus show us these things when he was on earth?
John 5
17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Here Jesus refers to His Heavenly Father and Jesus Himself working togather
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because he not only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God (the Father).
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth, (the Father)
these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
The Heavenly Father will not be the Judge
He has given that calling to His Son Jesus Christ
23 That all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Here we are reminded that all men should honor the Son
Whom the Father has sent well as Honor the Father
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you,He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
Here Jesus again reminds us to Honor His Father in Heaven whom sent Him (Jesus)
that we may have everlasting life and not come into condamnation!
