The Bible is universal it does not belong to anyone group or faith but to many who used the scriptures to define their own creeds.

- - - - - - - -

And THIS is exactly what Joseph Smith did, twisted scripture to define his own man made doctrines!

Again, consistency, Resty.

the Lord defined who He is, not tradition nor man.

- - - - - - - -
Exactly. God himself (through the Bible) defines who He is.

Yet the LDS church redefined Him in their own image and twisted who He is to fit their own tradition of man.

The ‘lord’ of the LDS church is the ‘god of this world’, not the Lord of Lords and King of Kings that Jesus Christ is. The LDS Jesus is NOT the Jesus of the Bible. The Jesus of the Bible died to save us from our sins, the ‘Jesus’ in the Book of Mormon KILLED THOUSANDS when he showed up. Not the same Lord at all.

Still looking for consistency, resty.

You are saying to a group of people who consider a work of fiction scriptural, a con artist a prophet and think the world is run by a committee of gods and that one day they too can enjoy such benefits yet when called on the facts, or lack thereof, go into either some of the most artistic obfuscation ever seen or to a victim hood mode unparalleled in modern times that they can't have it both ways.

Yeah, that’ll work...

“pointing out absurdity by being absurd”, the last thing I expect is consistency from a religion that is so inconsistent.

The early church had the same problem with groups with heretical doctrines wanting to be called Christian and thinking theirs was the only true church. Today, we call them Gnostics and they were determined by the Councils not to be considered Christian.

The Gnostic heresies are precisely why the early creeds were developed and the canon solidified. They are both measuring sticks of orthodox (correct) doctrine versus heterodox doctrine.

And many who insist that you can be outside orthodox Christian doctrine and still be a ‘Christian’, forget that there is a term called “pseudo-Christian” which is what most people actually mean when they say Mormons are not Christian, that they are ‘pseudo-Christian’, simply based upon their heterodox doctrines and practices.

the point is what the LDS says He is .... whatever others think is irrelevant to the conversation.

There is nothing about that goal that is accepting of Christianity that was established by Jesus Christ. Nothing. Because mormonism claims that the Christianity of Jesus Christ was erased and replaced by the theology of Joseph Smith.

Well said.

Then QUIT stumbling over ALL the things in MORMONism that just don’t add up and get a church that can actually TEACH you what the Word means.
