America Only by Nico

61% of Millennials and Gen Z say they are forced to use credit cards to make ends meet. The only people benefiting from this “golden age” are the big banks. Funding war and funding the rest of the world in foreign aid is irresponsible at best.

@sassacass12 @LostMyHats Ah yes can’t argue my points so have to point out grammatical errors I made immediately after waking up👏👏 good job bud

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Holy smokes. Learn the difference between bear and bare, where and wear. It's hard to take you seriously when you cant differentiate spellings between very common words.

"I'm a polytheist who believes God was once a man, that He's married to a female goddess and they live on a planet called Kolob, that Jesus and Satan are brothers, that there's a potentially infinite number of gods and I'll one day become the god of my own planet populated with my celestial space babies, I deny every single essential Christian doctrine, and reject every historic Christian creed. Now explain to me why I'm not a Christian right this second."

It doesn’t help because that’s a heresy in and of itself that wasn’t constructed until much later. So none of the first century Christians believed in the consubstantiality therefore you’d write them off too since apparently your creeds supersede scripture and written documents from before Nicea as well. Nice try you sly sly dawg you😉😉

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Hey so Lucifer/Satan is an angel, and Jesus is the only-begotten Son of God, consubstantial with the Father, and from whom with the Father the Holy Spirit processes. Hope that helps

@FullAmpleSalty @MonetaryWarlord @LostMyHats Because I believe that they were called by God to be apostles of Jesus Christ. I take it on faith that the story presented in the New Testament is correct and as apostles they were given authority to dictate scripture when moved upon by the Holy Spirit

@AmericaOnlycast @MonetaryWarlord @LostMyHats Ok I’ll bite and have a genuine conversation. How do you determine that the New Testament is worth believing? What allows you to put your faith in the writings of the men who followed Jesus.

@littlebillie @LostMyHats What does Revelation 3:21 say in your copy of the Bible?

You can get lost in the weeds all day long but this right here is exactly why you are not a Christian, because Scripture doesn’t say that. Sure you’re taught that Jesus died on the cross and rose again, but it’s not enough. You believe you only receive [whatever version of eternal life you believe in] if YOU do the work of “overcoming” life’s obstacles in a way that satisfies your church doctrines. Jesus paid it ALL. It is he and he alone who is the atonement for your sin and guarantees your salvation.

@BlakeOrlan33325 @LostMyHats You can read without context then complain like a child when you’re told you have to actually understand something before you can attack it.

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Everything I’ve said here is 100% correct. None of it was refuted you just keep telling me I don’t understand the context then you claim victory like a child.

@ImBaIL_ @RenatoRIO5 @LostMyHats Simple google definition bud. It’s a middle point between the two. And I don’t have to entertain that hasty generalization due to its false nature in the first place. So you’ll be coming back and attacking something that we don’t even majority believe

@AmericaOnlycast @RenatoRIO5 @LostMyHats The literal definition of polytheism is the acknowledgment or worship of multiple gods. To be a henotheist , you are also a polytheist it’s literally a branched sub definition

@BlakeOrlan33325 @LostMyHats And I’ve been dealing with you supposed experts in the field of Mormonism for a long time as well. You have 0 humility, and 0 ability to admit when you’re wrong about your presuppositions because everyone who adheres to the faith is just inherently stupid.

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Nico I’ve been dealing with you double talkers for a long time. I don’t need AI to pull the thousands….AND I mean thousands of discrepancies that absolutely discredit you, and your made religion. The reality is, I don’t need to defend my religion, I have none, I have the cross

You obviously also haven’t studied this one bit or you’d know that at the minimum that is considered henotheism… However notice that I clarified that SOME in the church have had or have currently that understanding. However that’s not the official policy of the church therefore your hasty generalization would be null and void either way

@RenatoRIO5 @AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats The acknowledgement of multiple gods shows polytheism , you don’t have to worship them to be considered as such

You don’t need a college degree to understand it all. I am still in college, and I can understand it all just fine. It’s just that I actually give a crap and can afford to spend a little bit of time to understand stuff before trying to make a fool of myself and attack someone who does know about it

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Can’t ever just read what they say, I need a college level explanation on how they didn’t really mean what they said and how I’ll just never understand. THIS IS WHY NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY.

@AndrewM79331754 @LostMyHats If we’re using that silly standard, then apricot trees blossom popcorn🤦🏻

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats It’s in the song Nico. Sang it many times in Church. Denying it doesn’t help your case. churchofjesuschrist.org/media/music/so…

I’m not arguing that we should be labeled christian. I’m arguing against the blatant lies spread by people who can’t seem to gather the will power to do 15 minutes of actual study before they use ChatGPT to make a list of attacks against the church using their already established biased

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Your clarification of the “straw man” didn’t do a single thing to support your case that mormons are Christian.

So now our hymns are the source of official doctrine of the church? You’re trying really really hard there bud. You must be elastic man with how good you can stretch. Here’s a simple enough thing to understand (I hope). A lot of people believed it ≠ Doctrine. Your Sunday school teacher believes it ≠ Doctrine. If it is taught and affirmed by the 12 apostles and the first presidency then it is Doctrine. So to nail down doctrine, look at the collective statements of all 15 of them and you’d have it super simple

@AndrewM79331754 @FullAmpleSalty @LostMyHats The doctrine of the church is actually very simple. It’s nearly impossible for people who only attempt gotchas and who insist our doctrine is something it isn’t. So you’ve exposed your honest intent

@AmericaOnlycast @FullAmpleSalty @LostMyHats Trying to pin down Mormon doctrine is like nailing jello to a wall. I’ve personally seen missionaries and leadership lie about “deep doctrine” countless times. mormonr.org/qnas/0JPssK/ad…

Under some frameworks of understanding, there could be the possibility of the existence of others. However that’s not the official stance that is taught and maintained by the church as a whole. Just like how there’s segments of any major religions that have some differing views that make their general membership see them as a little cooky..😂

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats As far as I know, respectfully, LDS believe there are many gods, although they are not worshipped by LDS members. Sounds like polytheism. Christians in general believe that there is only one God, one and triune, and that's it.

Great you can copy and paste the journal of discourses. Now go use AI to find the parts of the sermon in the grove and the king follett sermon that you just can’t comprehend and then we can discuss it. However it is also important that you know the story behind both and any potential issues that can arise with both. Have you done any research into their history and context?

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 95: “I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve.”

@DeplorableBot24 @PrplGld @LostMyHats That is severely misinterpreted by this OP and by everyone else who hasn’t done a lick of due diligence in the matter. Thats why is matters

@AmericaOnlycast @PrplGld @LostMyHats What does it matter if it's in the BOM, Pearl of Great Price, or other defining mormon literature? The location of the teaching is less relevant than the fact thats it's an actual teaching.

@HwsEleutheroi @LostMyHats I came to realize how to correctly interpret SitG and learned that we have about 1/4 or so of the recorded KFD but even what we do have doesn’t claim what people claim it does.

@AmericaOnlycast @LostMyHats I wonder when Blake Ostler became the prophet of the LDS Church? Happened pretty quickly! When did you come to realize that the Joseph Smith of the KFD and SitG was not a prophet of God?
