>>>I believe in Jesus Christ. There is only ONE Jesus Christ, and He is Lord. I can recall my Primary days (shoved aside by other religions over the years) in which I was taught about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was not taught about “one of them.” I was taught of the One and Only.
There is, of course, just one True Christ. There are many
false Christs. Mormonism has theirs. Moony-ism has theirs.
I have know idea which you are referring to. Perhaps you
can describe Him?
>>>Therein lies my confusion: I AM A CHRISTIAN!! I follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ! I believe in His Father, God, and I believe in the Holy Ghost.<<<
I certainly hope you are! As to the Father and the Holy Ghost... Mormonism has theirs. Other groups have theirs.
The Bible presents the One True God in His three persons.
>>>I do NOT understand how you can say that Mormons believe in a “different” Jesus Christ, when there is only ONE, and there has NEVER been another. He took all our sins upon Him, atoning for each of us who ever lived, are living and ever will live.<<<
First, I did not say “mormons believe in a different Chist.”
I said MORMONISM teaches about a different Christ. I have
no idea what individual mormons believe. God does.
>>>Demons may believe, but they have no bodies and therefore, will not benefit from Christ’s atonement.<<<
And that is just the point. Demons “believe” and “tremble”
but it does them no good. Faith is different than belief
and faith is only as good as the object it is place in.
>>>Did someone tell you that Mormons don’t believe in the Bible? Some of the most beautiful Scriptural Beliefs are contained in the Bible, both the Old Testament, and the New. I will never discount Scriptures from any source, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. <<<
Yes, mormonism followers.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are the Hebrew Scriptures.
“Or anything found since then. I will continue to keep an open mind, as I feel that Revelation has many sources.”
You sound as if you might also like Unitarianism.
>>>So, if I tell you I believe in the only True Savior, Jesus Christ, doesn’t that make me a Christian? If not, please enlighten me, as I may have been praying to a Lord who does not exist. <<<
FRiend, it has nothing to do with me. I’m just a begger telling
other beggers where to find bread. Eternal Bread.
Perhaps you could tell me about the “True Savior, Jesus Christ” you believe in? Then I may be more informed to answer the questions you ask me.
best,

Your questions leave me baffled. How can there be more than one Jesus Christ? There isn’t. He is the Jesus Christ the Bible speaks of, and there are no others. Period.
I have no clue where you got your ideas on “Mormonism,” but wherever it was, it is totally skewed. There is only one God. He has only ONE Begotten Son, who is Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
OK. I can see in all your posts that you are concerned with “Mormonism.” There really is no such thing. We don’t worship Mormon. We worship God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy Ghost.
“Mormons” belong to the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. (Jesus Christ being the operative phrase!)
I believe that the Bible is Scripture; that, as a logical-thinking person, there are many “Scriptures” that have not been given validity, but are still true, and that there are many Scriptures yet to come, which are also true.
Remember that there are twelve Tribes of Israel and each of them has a record of their history, which is what the Bible is: An historical record, containing prophecies as well as historical and greographical information that is for the benefit of all the world, not just a select few. Each Tribe has it’s OWN history, written down, to be revealed at a later time. It stands to reason that if one Tribe (The Tribe of Judah) has a written history, the other Tribes will also have a written history.
And if the Dead Sea Scrolls are written in Hebrew, what of it? Isn’t that what the Bible (and therefore the Torah) are written in? Yet, you believe the Bible. Do you believe the Old Testament as well as the New?
Who is to say which is accurate? How many translations must be made and “verified” before we can “believe” them?
Unitarianism has nothing to offer me. I’ve studied religions searching for the truth, and attended many different services. None could answer my questions with logic.
I believe that you are truly curious, and because of that, I’ve tried not to be argumentative. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask them!
