Look at you, posting to no one because you don’t want an answer. Why would Jesus pray to himself in the Garden of Gethsemane? Why would he ask himself to take away his assignment?
What the Bible proves conclusively is that the Son is subordinate to the Father. Jesus does his Father’s work and is about his Father’s business, not his own.
Why does he cleanse the temple? Because it is his Father’s House.
Do you get any sense of irony that modern anarchoChristians have abandoned all the “bad” teachings of the Catholic Church only to embrace the unBiblical nonsense of the Trinity. At what point do you admit you’re wrong.
Give me your top three Trinity-proving verses, the ones that definitively prove the Trinity in your mind.
The merchants blocked the Gentiles from learning? With their very big tables and hard sell pitches?
Your monomania is showing. Let’s focus on God’s Word, the Bible. Do you want to continue discussing the centrality of the temple?
Your contention about the temple is what? Use the Bible and stop changing the subject.
LOL
1. We live in a world of lost people.
2. God has -- thru the Bible -- given people enough revelation to relate to Him.
3. People have not been good stewards with the knowledge they have.
And, no, people didn't need to get married in a Mormon temple in order to be re-connected with God the Father as fellow eternal "gods".
Nor did they need to have a "testimony" about Joseph Smith being the "living prophet" in order to be re-connected with God the Father.
These are two examples -- of many ritualistic things (other ordinances, laws, tithing, etc) -- that Mormons add on to the Gospel.
The Gospel is Good News -- an announcement if you will -- about what God has done in Jesus Christ. Lds make the Gospel things that we have to do. That is distortion, plain and simple.
Distortion? ... Demonic lie is more like it!
WHY does the SLC branch of lds FAIL to use the CHANGED Bible? (JST)
I can get 2/3s of the way there:
"Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness..."
Genesis 1:26
lds would not know the Bible if it smaked them in the face.
From the beginning Joseph Smith distorted the Bible and the Word of Gid Almighty.
Really good advice, do why don’t you?
Not only do you apparently know nothing of the Bible you have zero historical context
