I simply ask you to consider what the Bible says about God and Christ instead of relying on the non-biblical Nicene Creed.... and you refused. So much for objectivity.

And if you will notice .... that was the ‘back-punch’ that I was referring to.

1. I do not rely on the Nicene Creed. Never mentioned it. You did.

2. I believe the Scriptures and what they reveal about Christ.

3. You never answered my questions. With your advanced mormon education, I'd guess it would be simple. Is it possible you do not want to answer these questions for a reason??

Let me put them before you again:

Do you believe there is a “Heavenly Mother”?
How many heavenly mothers are there?
Does polygamy exist in heaven?
Are there other gods of other worlds?
Do you believe God the Father had sex with Mary to produce Jesus?
Did Christ always exist, with no beginning or end, eternally?
Do you believe you may become a god/goddess some day?
How many Gods do you believe in?
If you believe in multiple gods, please explain how more than one god can be: Omnipotent?
Do you wear the magic underwear?
Was Christ created as a spirit child of all people and of Satan?
Did Christ later become a god?

If Christ is God, do you worship Him as God? Here I refer to the Christ of the Bible, who God says every knee will bow and every tongue will confess HE is above all. In heaven, angels and saints fall before Him and worship Him.

Do you??

..........

From the the first appearance of Christ on earth, He was worshipped: "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him." (Matthew 2:2)

The Apostle Paul specifically called Jesus “our great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13) and reveals that, prior to His birth, He existed in the “form of God” (Philippians 2:5–8).

Jesus is identified as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16–17; Hebrews 1:2).

Jesus receives worship multiple times in the Gospels (Matthew 2:11; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38; 20:28).

The Apostle Paul reveals that at the name of Christ, “every knee should bow” and every tongue confess that he is Lord (GOD) (Philippians 2:10-11).

"This Son, radiance of the glory of God, flawless expression of the nature of God, himself the upholding principle of all that is, effected in person the reconciliation between God and man and then took his seat at the right hand of the majesty on high—thus proving himself, by the more glorious name that he has won, far greater than all the angels of God. … But when he [the Father] speaks of the Son, he says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever …" (Hebrews 1:3-4, 8)

“Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.”
