    LDS Atonement

    Why do you care about personal theories? And when you don't understand something, do you always claim that you weren't given a real answer? Things make a lot more sense if a person has open eyes and is familiar with the Bible. It isn't necessary at all to understand theories about what the...

    LDS Atonement

    [/SIZE]Theories are meaningless. The Holy Spirit teaches truth. If you are only listening to theories, you haven't found the truth. If a person needs a Savior, it is because he owes a debt. Bible, New Testament, John Chapter Three, entire chapter If you can't understand it, ask God...

    LDS Atonement

    Apotheosis is relevant because Orthodox Christians have always known that there will never be more than one God. Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither...

    LDS Atonement

    Not so. The Eastern Orthodox Christians do not teach that theosis is what Mormons call exaltation. Men can never become Gods ontologically. Apotheosis is considered heretical.

    LDS Atonement

    If that were true all mankind would go to paradise rather than spirit prison. The sin of rejecting Him would also be covered. His payment saves those who have been born again: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any...

    LDS Atonement

    No, each Christian was already very much in debt to God(Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) because by following Satan, they did not honor God. So Christ paid the debt he/she owed Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. You don’t seem to understand that. Many here probably do not see the LDS doctrine in...

    LDS Atonement

    We, the ones who have been born again, are saved "not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy." It’s more like you earned a punishment for your sins. But Christ paid your debt. If he paid your debt, you no longer have a debt. You must be born again...

    LDS Atonement

    Do you somehow think that Christ doesn't obey the laws of the Celestial Kingdom and the Doctrine and Covenants? He doesn't have to make a decision to forgive. According to the Doctrine and Covenants, He has to forgive based on the law pertaining to forgiveness. "I, the Lord, am bound when ye...

    LDS Atonement

    I was interested in the LDS definition. If Christ truly paid for all sins, all would be saved. Atonement of Jesus Christ As used in the scriptures, to atone is to suffer the penalty for sins, thereby removing the effects of sin from the repentant sinner and allowing him or her to be...

    Are Christians members of Christ's Church?

    Hey, no problem! :cool: I was just looking for clarification.

    LDS Atonement

    Would you define sufficient? "Christ paid not only for Adam’s sins but for ours as well—if we obey the laws and ordinances of the gospel." “Lesson 2: Jesus Christ, the Savior,” Young Women Manual 1, (2002),6 LDS.org

    Is the Bible God's word?

    But most people here will not even respond, and some believe it is the word of God only so far as it has been translated correctly. So it will be very difficult for you to judge whether there is a minority or majority. I believe the Bible is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for...

    Are Christians members of Christ's Church?

    no_spoon, I wonder if you and RomCat are saying that there are Christians outside of Christ's Church. If someone is a follower of Christ can he be not part of the body and Christ not be his head?

    LDS Atonement

    Amen! For LDS, in the end, reward is based on how many rules a Christian kept, rather than the blood of Christ which promises all spiritual blessings. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ...

    LDS Atonement

    I would have to agree with you. I have been told that Christ fulfilled the law of Moses, but that LDS are called to live a higher law(the law of Christ). "Salvation does not come by the law of Moses alone, Mosiah 12: 27—13: 32. In me is the law of Moses fulfilled, 3 Ne. 9: 17. The law which...

    Christian: God: not three Persons??

    The Holy Ghost was able to be sent by Christ, to be grieved, and to testify. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God...

    Christian: God: not three Persons??

    Men do not have the power to raise themselves from the dead. 19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21But he spake of the...

    LDS Christian challenge of historic Biblical Christians

    Joseph Smith had no problem attacking our faith; LDS have no problem doing it amongst themselves; and a core LDS belief is that all non-LDS churches are apostate and that our "creeds are an abomination to God" and that we "teach for doctrines the commandments of men." If you believe those...

    LDS Christian challenge of historic Biblical Christians

    Maybe you don't know who's going to be in the Celestial Kingdom(LDS version of heaven), but you do know that baptism in a Protestant or Catholic church isn't acceptable in your religion. And don't you know what some of the other requirements are?
