LDS View of God Contradicts the Bible

Resty, look at your post #712. You are getting hateful and trying to start something you can't finish, hypocrite!

[restornu]

I am amazed that it seems no one wants to honor principles no matter how much we disagree this should be a priority in our character.

How are we going to honor the Constitution if maligning is still the norm?

One should be able to speak the truth without their words being turn.

I have no malice towards anyone and I am puzzled what is wrong with doing the right things?

We are not supposed to be the enemy, so we each see things differently yet I try to adhere to the core principles given by God.

Did not the Lord said; As I have Love You Love One Another!

[Graybeard58]

From another poster:

Of course they been a disappointment as well as you are a disappointment as well as in your bigotry!

Bigotry = anything that varies from the teachings of the cult of mormonism.

TRIPLE BARF ALERT!

What a bucketload of CRAP after what you have been posting on this thread, slandering the RM and everyone else. Do you really think your hypocritical kumbaya post now is going to get you out of the hole you have dug?

 

I agree with T minus Four.

[restornu]

I agree Jim and if you read in my replies I state that!

Hip. O. Crit

[T Minus Four]

Suck. Up.

[T Minus Four]

Seriously. I’m done with her. It’s been fun but she’s gone too far and way too long.

[T Minus Four]

Flagrant hypocrisy placemarker. Hope she’s gone when I get back.

[greyfoxx39]

It's pretty difficult to claim you agree with JR when he says we have the best RM in the world and you point him back to your post #689 that says, "The bias RM one day threw an open hizzy fit on the RF many months ago towards the LDS.
This is a fact and can not be denid."

Keep digging.

[restornu]

I never claim to be perfect have I ever tried to turn another’s word or play games.

I would hope not!

Have I not been for years asking why folks who claim to love the Lord have a hard time letting those of other faiths live according to the dictates of their own conscience.

People can offer or share but the other person also has the right to accept or move on.

Should we not look for the good in each other and let God sort out His business.

Is not the most important thing to get along is to strive to live the Ten Commandments.

I do not know who the Utah Lighthouse Ministries is, but they are very poor scriptorians.

The verses they’ve chosen to refute LDS theology are very weak and the translations are poor and in many cases wrong, but also out of context which ruins the message.

What you are witnesses is eisegesis, when someone approaches the Bible with preconceived notions and then “finds” support for said notion within the Holy Scriptures.

The LDS fit the definition of Christian and needn’t worry about the opinions of men. Faith and works go together and followers of Christ use both.

Restornu pinged me here. I don’t find much light or knowledge here, just a lot of silly heat. I just read your response - poppycock is accurate.

GIGO fits as well.

[restornu]

Turning my words again there are times some will sub for the Real RM and of course you are aware of that you just mention it in a precious post!

nice try!

[Vendome]

The article had specific viewpoints and you chose to ignore them in toto.

I would say that is pretty weak.

Are the Prophets weak?

Are the Apostles weak?

You and the rest of the proxies never refute any specific point and only make generalizations, if that.

You bring in non sequitors, strawmen and evade.

[greyfoxx39]

Doesn't change the fact that you very often accuse the RM of bias.

In fact, these threads seem to make you SO dissatisfied with everyone and everything...don't you think you should just post caucus threads and stay completely away from the open threads? There is nothing you can say that can change the facts that we post about mormonism anyway.

You remind me of the little girl who kept poking the pencil into her eye...Mom asked her why, and she replied, "because it feels so good when I stop!"

You need to lay the pencil down now and find threads that go easy on your feelings. Your continual hostility just makes your case for mormonism that much less believable and as Jonesie22 says, "you are our best player".

So you get up on a stage in the middle of DC and hug and hold hands with Moslems and call them your brothers on TV in front of millilons of viewers like your friend Glenn Beck did ???

I wouldnt myself...

But would you ???

The concience of the Moslem is to kill me because I confess the LORD Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior...

Do you agree with that occurance...

Just what do you believe ???

The mormon doctrine that claims all Christians like me are the “whore of Babylon” ???

That the lying pediphile, thief, murderer adulterer Joey Smith was right and the LORD Jesus christ was wrong ???

You cant sit on the fence Resty...

It is one or the other...

Both views are not correct...

And a hint to your mormon mindset...

Joey Smith himself claimed that the Christian Bible was not translated correctly nor was it correct...

Joey himself felt the Bible which is the only Word of God needed him to tweek it...

So heres probably your last chance to tell me...

What do YOU believe ???

[1010RD]

FRiend, I think you are confusing me with someone else.

I don’t think the LDS view of God contradicts the Bible at all. I find the attacks from the anti-LDS element weak and poorly supported Biblically.

No good believing Christian or Old Testament following Jew using the Bible would pretend to know what happened to God. Truly no real Bible scholar can postulate anything prior to Genesis 1:1. That is all they have to go on, no?

That said, one must recognize the existential threat LDS doctrine poses to popular Christianity. There can be no reconciliation of doctrine. If Catholics and Orthodox cannot reconcile given the nearness of their doctrines, you can imagine just how hard it would be for Trinitarian Christians to reconcile themselves to non-Trinitarian Chrisitans.

The postulate of the Utah Lighthouse Ministries is patently wrong. It is simple opinion posing as fact. I wouldn’t worry about their opinion if I were you.

Believing in the Trinity isn’t a doctrine of salvation. It can be ignored. It’s not Biblical, but an invention of sophists posing as Godly men.
