Zone1 If your child is a Muslim, this is what the kid faces

I am wrong as to the church teaching matter always existed. I happen not to believe that. However, that does not make me a bad Mormon.

I don't agree with everything my church teaches. It's ok.

No one is all good or all bad.

My church does not believe in the Trinity. It was never mentioned in the Bible. We believe in 3 but separate. God, Jesus and the holy ghost. WE do not believe in what is not in the Bible.

Explain how Mormons and Christian can both follow the Bible, but believe in two different "Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit" beliefs.

If they follow the same Bible, shouldn't it be clear?



Mainstream Christianity (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox):

• Believes in the Trinity: one God in three persons—Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit.
• These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and one in essence.

Mormonism (LDS Church):

• Believes in the Godhead, but not the Trinity.
• God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings, united in purpose, not substance.
• God the Father is believed to have a physical body.

You are a man. Are you your son and a spirit?

I don't believe in any Sky God.

Why the different theories from the same Bible?

Do you believe in the universe including Earth? I have no idea why the Catholics teach that they have a delightful person called GOD who is the delightful Jesus and the delightful Holy spirit. What are they talking about?

Agree, so why the different beliefs from the SAME Bible?
If God was REAL, it should be ultimately CLEAR what the truth is.

I like your questions. They signify you don't know and really are willing to learn. I can't explain Catholic teachings and seems you can't either.

I have an older brother, he had 3 children.
Oldest Daughter, married a Christian Pastor.
Middle Child, another Daughter, married a Christian Pastor.
Youngest Child, Son, Is a Christian Pastor.

I have been surrounded by this Religious Indoctrination my entire adult life.

I can't explain something that religious folks can't agree upon.
I can't fathom why Catholics and Mormons follow different teaching and beliefs from the same Bible.

 

[Winco]

Then WHY did you go Off Topic in Post #7 and Post #10.

Such as? Will you cite for me in the Bible where you find the Trinity?

My church does not say the universe was created from existing matter. Gods as told means those who are highest, including women.

Diversity is the natural order. Just look at nature. Apparently, God loves diversity. So different people will have different perceptions of God. But where you see differences, I see similarities. When comparing similarities to differences it's not the quantity necessarily. If all of the differences were minor or ticky tacki in nature and didn't really change the core message, they don't carry as much weight. This is especially true if the differences are of the dogmatic variety or of the cultural variety. Which are the differences I see. All major religions and even primal religions share a common, underlying truth and point toward the same "Ultimate Reality". With each having its own unique, rich blend of tradition based upon the particulars of their culture. Diverse faiths are different paths leading to the same mountaintop. Diverse traditions are "different songs to the same divine" rather than contradictory systems. Commonalities like the belief in a higher, transcendent reality. All great religions share a core of "metaphysical truths" or shared ethical principles. How can they not? Isn't virtue logical?

I don't believe in a "Sky God" - as you so eloquently put it - either.

What I do believe in is a moralistic and providential creator who is the source of all realities. As near as I can tell we exist in the mind of God.

Why the different theories from the same Bible?

Because different people process information differently. Why do you believe God's existence depends solely on everyone interpreting a book written by men in the exact same way? If you want to talk about illogical beliefs, I suggest you start there.

 

[ding]

If God was REAL, it should be ultimately CLEAR what the truth is.

Why is that the measure of God's existence? Man is mostly subjective. That's why you see almost everyone arguing they didn't do wrong when they did. It's not easy to be objective. It takes a lot of thoughtfulness and work.

Wouldn't a better question be why aren't you studying what God supposedly created as a means of determining if God exists rather than illogical strawmen?
