“So you agree that Christ wanted his disciples to be ‘One with God’ just as he (Christ) was one with God?”
No. This passage doesn’t say that.
One with each other - unity in the body.
When I chose the word essence, I did not refer to any creed.
I used it exactly as it appears in the dictionary.
...
Do you worship “
Heavenly Mother”?
How many heavenly mothers are there?
Did Christ always exist, with no beginning or end, eternally?
Did the Mormon Father used to be a man?
You are wrong in your ability to read scripture. The passage does say that Christ wants his disciples to be ‘one’ just as God and Christ are one. THIS PASSAGE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE MOST DEFINITIVE OF THE ‘ONENESS’ THAT EXISTS BETWEEN GOD AND CHRIST!
John 17: 21-22
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
NOW YOU HAVE BIBLICAL PROOF THAT THE NICENE CREED IS A FABLE!
No, I do not worship a Heavenly Mother; neither do I worship Jesus Christ, but only God the Father as Jesus taught.
Just as Christ taught in John 17:24, Christ existed before the world was created, or before the beginning. Christ was God’s first creation. A spiritual son who would in-time take the sins of the world upon his shoulders.
We are all spiritual offspring of God: Acts 17:29-31 King James Version (KJV)
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
But you MUST somehow speak about the great Mormon BoogeyMan!!
