@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee You can’t be serious. You sound more like the scholars and priests who attached Jesus than like Jesus. Very petty indeed.
@jg_gmu@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee Ok then !!! you see how it’s a little more than petty deferences ? Soo LDS don’t even agree on the starting point of creation … not petty big deferences between us the more layers of the onion you pull back the more you find
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee Many (but not all) LDS believe those things happened well before the universe was created. As far this universe is concerned, God has always been absolute, eternal, etc. since before the world was. Many don’t believe this, and that’s perfectly fine too.
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee Not mad about the question. Mad about the obsession with placing artifical barriers between Christ and his believers through an exaggerated focus on doctrinal trivia.
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee I’ve never understood why the more “christian” a person claims to be, the more obsessed they are with boundary maintence and exclusion - the very opposite of what Jesus was about.
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee To the extent that’s true, you’ve drastically misrepresented its scope and centrality. Read their arricles of faoth. Everything else is largely peripheral to the core beliefs.
@jg_gmu@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee Mormonism believes that God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood, and that faithful humans can also become gods in the afterlife… is this not true ? If not God at birth what was he ? Serious question btw not being sarcastic
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee Wait… you think Mormons think Jesus was just some normal dude? They agree with everything you just said.
Maybe sit this one out if youre not aware of that.
@jg_gmu@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee All that only matters because Jesus did it willingly .. he could have stopped it at any point and called down a legion of angels .. not a normal man but the divine gave his life for you. no he is not a normal man…..
@ArthurTheElder@dtx_yimby@BasedMikeLee As ling as people believe that it is only through Jesus - the Son of God - atonement, death and resurrection that we are forgiven of our sins and can live again, the rest is pedantic quibbling. Jesus would agree with me here.
