@dttpeople Nice Try! The LDS doctrine of the divine potential of Gods children was not based or founded upon this scripture.

This is an example of what Mormonism does: Takes a bible verse and tries to shoehorn it to fit with Joseph Smith's false teachings. If you ever have a Mormon person bring up John 10:34 or Psalms 82:6 feel free to post this in response. I pray they get out of this false church

@crysaliq @gwowls I probably should have been more specific lol, I was referring to the receiving everlasting punishment part. My apologies. Thanks for sharing the other scriptures though.

PLUS when Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I Am", He was stating Himself as unchanging and eternal, comparing himself to Abraham who was not. Whereas Lucifer is an angel, and NOT Jesus' brother, and is also created, who sought to be "like the Most High", which IS what got him expelled from Heaven, NOT simply because he came up with a plan to compel people to obey without free will alongside Jesus' other supposed "plan". And LDS follow in Lucifer's footsteps, in seeking to be "Like God", which he also tempted Eve with, and which they pursue in desiring to be gods like the only true God, The Father.

If God was not once man, then who is Jesus?

@crysaliq @gwowls Where does it say that in the Bible? ….Galatians 1:8? If that is your reference, then define what is the gospel (good news) using the Bible. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 states it clearly what the good news is. All of which is believed by the LDS.

@gwowls Jesus is the SON of God; God gave us His Son, begotten as His Son from His own Word, the very Word He speaks and made all things by speaking them into existence BY Him. God is NOT His Son, and believing falsely God IS a man shall bring everlasting punishment, *not* eternal life.

@weeZZ_L @Primary_Pianist Obviously, but the verse isn’t talking about the city itself, it’s talking about the land of Jerusalem which would contain Bethlehem.

@LetsGoJazz1232 @Primary_Pianist Jerusalem is a city. Jerusalem was trying to kill Him.

Critic: Mormons worship a different Jesus. Latter-day Saint: Who was born in Bethlehem? Critic: Jesus. Latter-day Saint: Son of Mary? Critic: Yes. Latter-day Saint: Performed miracles? Critic: Yes. Latter-day Saint: Crucified under Pontius Pilate? Critic: Yes. Latter-day Saint: Rose from the dead? Critic: Yes. Latter-day Saint: Will return to judge the world? Critic: Yes. Latter-day Saint: So far we’ve identified the same person.

@weeZZ_L @Primary_Pianist That verse is talking about the Land of Jerusalem which includes Bethlehem. It doesn’t specifically say the city of Jerusalem.

@Primary_Pianist No

@Ash1138 @Primary_Pianist Can we be saved without being baptized or showing faith in Christ, since works don’t determine salvation where we are saved by grace?

@Primary_Pianist Mormonism doesn't teach faith in Christ. It teaches works based salvation. Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Satan knows this quite well. He's happy to create false gospels that lead people into faith in their works instead of faith in Christ.

Evangelical: The Book of Mormon is from Satan. Mormon: Why? Evangelical: Because Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. Mormon: So Satan can create books about Jesus? Evangelical: Yes. Mormon: Books that teach faith in Christ? Evangelical: Yes. Mormon: Books that teach repentance? Evangelical: Yes. Mormon: Books that testify Jesus is the Son of God? Evangelical: Yes. Mormon: How do you know he didn’t write the Bible? Evangelical: Because the Bible teaches faith in Christ, repentance, and that Jesus is the Son of God. Mormon: … Evangelical: … Mormon: Do you see the problem? Evangelical: I’d rather not.

@Latterdaytruth I’m just trying to imagine the awkward movement it would take for the priest to look back at the bishop to see him give his approval on if the prayer was said correctly. Unless they are doing away with that practice.

Someone on the Exmormon subreddit claims that the Church is going to redesign meetinghouses with sacrament tables in the center. If true, I think it would be an amazing change!

@FaithLikeAbish2 @RestoredLife100 I agree, though I know some people have different opinions on this, but that’s exactly how they do it in general conference, so I take the same approach. The spirit can guide me as I’m writing and preparing the talk. Though I still listen for impressions while giving the talk.

I’m giving my first talk this Sunday! I’m a little nervous. Any tips? 😅

@HoopGrids Personally I don’t like the contrast between the words and jersey color on the new red statement and blue icon clippers Jerseys. It may look better in person, but on the TV it just doesn’t work in my opinion.

Starting to think the red white and blue designs stand the test of time

@AthanasiusExile @sister_slay You asked if they make her righteous, not if they make her redeemed. Plus the whole “different” gospel part is all subjective from your opinion , the LDS church believes they teach the same gospel Christ did, whether you agree with that or not.

@sister_slay This is why we say you have a different gospel, Christian don’t think our good deeds make us right before God. It’s Jesus Christ alone that can make you right before God, you can’t do anything to merit God’s favor. Even if you could how much would you have to do?

Mormonism is the one true church on earth. Just read Galatians 1:8. Thank me later.

@depressedw1zfan @NBAPR @NBA @NBAAllStar @NBAonNBC @peacock @WashWizards Hell Yes. Isaiah 26 points, Bub 7.

@LetsGoJazz1232 @NBAPR @NBA @NBAAllStar @NBAonNBC @peacock @WashWizards Hell no 💀

Wizards guard Bub Carrington will replace fellow sophomore and teammate Alex Sarr on Team T-Mac in the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars. Sarr is out with a hamstring strain. Rising Stars: Friday, Feb. 13 | 9 PM ET | Peacock

@ShamsCharania Now announce Tari Eason’s suspension.

Utah Jazz guard Vince Williams Jr. has been diagnosed with a season-ending torn left ACL, sources tell ESPN. Williams sustained the injury in a collision with Tari Eason in Houston on Monday night.

@SamQuinnCBS I’ll be honest it’s kind of like the Jazz. The branding is more about Utah than actual Jazz music. However I think to a lot of Jazz fans, when we hear the Jazz we don’t think of the music. “Jazz” has taken on a whole other meaning.

If they rebrand they need to actually embrace the fact that they’re called the Wizards. They’re ashamed of their team name, their whole brand identity is built around being in the nation’s capital, not being the Wizards. Bring back the teal. Make the logo a wizard again.

@ShamsCharania Dallas better look forward to that 500k fine, lol.

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving will miss the season to allow himself additional time to fully heal from the torn ACL he suffered last March. Irving will make his return for the 2026–27 season.

Justin Termine is fired up after hearing tanking complaints from the OKC Thunder 🤣 Click here for more All-Star coverage - sxm.app.link/NBAAllStar2026

@ESPNNBA @KendrickPerkins That’s pretty disrespectful to the young players on the Jazz roster that were given the opportunity to close games and succeeded at doing so against the Heat. Now if they were repeatedly shooting half court shots, then you would have a point.

"I wish Adam Silver would've fined them $5M for disrespecting the game of basketball. Let's stop being nice about it and throwing out the word 'tanking.' No, it's actually throwing games." —@KendrickPerkins weighs in on the Jazz and Pacers being fined for sitting healthy players 👀

@BobbyMarks42 Good thing the Jazz traded for cash considerations, lol.

$500K conduct detrimental to the league fine for Utah. $100K player participation policy fine for Indiana

@NBAPR @NBA @NBAAllStar @spurs @NBAonNBC All this moving around and making exceptions to avoid putting Markkanen in the allstar game is insane. Team World should be foreign born players only. If this is how it’s going to be, let’s just go back to the traditional east vs west format.

Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game (Sunday, Feb. 15 at 5 PM ET on NBC & Peacock). Fox joins USA Stripes. Heat guard Norman Powell, with ties to Jamaica, moves from USA Stripes to Team World. Antetokounmpo is out with a calf strain.

the resume speaks for itself 📝😏 #TakeNote | @jarenjacksonjr
