While I believe that Mormons are good, moral people - your theology is in error in some areas. Do you believe that Jesus Christ and Satan are brothers? What do you believe about the blood of Christ shed on the cross for the remission of sins? There are distinct differences between Mormon teaching and Christianity. Another example is that Mormons believe that if a spouse dies - then they will be reunited in heaven. This is in error because Jesus said that we will neither marry or be given in marriage in heaven.
You sound sincere in what you believe, however, you can also be sincerely wrong in those beliefs.
Catsrus,
Unlike you, I believe that Jesus Christ is the literal spiritual and mortal Son of God the Eternal Father, pretty much as he said he was in the New Testament, without centuries of corrupt doctrinal wrangling.
I also believe that I am a spiritual Son of God as the Apostle Paul taught. Satan is an errant spiritual son (or angle)of God. I believe that all of God’s spiritual offspring is related.
This is not a doctrine that our church focuses on, and is generally attributed to people who distort this donctrine to try to demonize our religion. But, yes by inference, Satan is related to all of the spritual offspring of God, which would include myself, you, and Jesus Christ the only Begotten (in the flesh) of God the Father.
“Another example is that Mormons believe that if a spouse dies - then they will be reunited in heaven. This is in error because Jesus said that we will neither marry or be given in marriage in heaven.”
You are correct in your scriptural reference, but i fear your interpretation is not exclusive of others: i.e., my take on that scripture is that marriages are an earthly ordinance which cannot occur once you have gone on to heaven, but i don’t see where it excludes folks married on earth from being together in heaven.
i believe that scripture goes on to say that those who don’t marry in this life will go on to be as angels of god in heaven.
