I’m waiting for Post # 34 to be proven.
Experts have been posted all over FR, time and time again, pretending it is all a vacuum is cute, but not reality.
But if you want first sources, it is all laid out for you.
In fact let me fetch one, just to show who is being up front and who isn't.
AMPU stated:
Did you also study the Mormon teachings about:
God starting as a man and becoming a god later?
And here we have, from the “prophet” him self...
“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret... It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the character of God and to know...that he was once a man like us. Here, then, is eternal life—to know that only wise and true God, and you have got to learn how to become Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you. .. God himself, the father of us all dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ.”
- The Prophet Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 342-345, also quoted heavily by the church, see Gospel Principles, Chapter 47.
Like I said, it is all here, in this post from one of your peers. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2568726/posts?page=64#64
Hell!
I'm waiting for ANY Mormon to show us what JS 'learned' to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism!
Get in line!
