If that means I am the **literal** child of my father as Jesus is the literal father of God the Father in that sense this is TRUE!
Personally...I had to check this out for myself and I looked up the Book of Mormon ( not a blog) ( Geeze! a **blog?**) And this is what the Book of Mormon says. Personally....I don't believe a word written about Mormon beliefs on these threads and I don't even believe some of the personal histories given about being “former” Mormons. These threads are nothing but hit pieces if they could get something so plainly WRONG!
Again from **their** scriptures ( not blog)
Virgins don't conceive unless it is a miracle. Evidently, Mormons believe that God the Father did NOT have intercourse with Mary. They believe that she was over shaddowed by the Holy Ghost and that the conception was by power of the Holy Ghost ( this is what my **Christian** denomination teaches, by the way),
Alma 7
10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
Nephi 2;114
14 Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign— Behold, a avirgin shall conceive, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Emanuel.
Again, Smith plagarized those from the Bible. Duh. And the blog states that a current Mormon believes it and so do others.
Like Catholicism, Mormonism gets its doctrine from things outside the Bible (like Tradition and writings of the leaders which we have provided).
I mentioned earlier how Mormons try to play it both ways.
Not unusual at all for Mormonism.
For Mormonism, BOTH monogamy and polygamy "in" (they believe in eternal polygamy & a polygamy that will return to earth)
For Mormonism, BOTH monotheism and polytheism. (They mention "God" all the time as if there was one; they also mentions "gods" plural -- as if many true gods existed)
If you were to only "pounce" on Mormonism's "pro" statements re: monogamy or monotheism, you'd miss out on quite a few Mormon teachings re: polygamy and monotheism!
Quite Sandiesque!
Toss out some scripture and IGNORE what other evidence was presented.
