Re: TOPIC
I'm well aware of how this world works, there are no ethics that you can speak to me that I don't already know. There are no ethics that you could ever find that I don't already follow.
How does this post have nothing to do with the topic in this thread? you guys want to know about Mormons, so I'm here to share with you light. This is the only thread that I could have of interest.
P.s. The Lord accepts no sins in moderation.

Re: Question
Justice,
how many Gods are there, according to LDS teachings?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."
What you deem as teachings, and what is actually taught, are two different things. you can't argue that with me, I'm LDS.
it is known that there is ONE God, our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is also as God is. he is also therefore referred to - as God - , because he is also God, just not >GOD< God. He is the Son of God.
God gave us commandments to follow his laws. The laws of God are what makes God, >GOD<. So therefore, if Christ is telling us to become like God by following his laws, and God's laws are what make God >GOD<, then we, through repentance, and the Atonement of Christ, enter into our Redemtion, and through the Eternities, become as God >IS<.
>AS< Gods.
So therefore, there >is< ONE God. God Being the Creator of All things. But then, there are many like him. These are Called his Saints. The Inheritors of Salvation. Those that have recieved the fulness of the Glory of God, through repentance and obedience, to the laws and ordinances of his Gospel. To become as Eternal Beings as Even Christ himself, and our Heavenly Father is. They were the one's the told us to be like them. So therefore we shall. Through the Words of our Father, we will become Gods, even as he Is.
A God is not >JUST GOD<, a God is anybody who follows perfectly the Laws of God. Therefore becoming like him. Unless Christ can see his image in you even as he sees himself, you are in nowise perfect, and must needs repentance.
Repentance leads to Perfection, Perfection leads to Gods.
You Cannot Argue it, I'm LDS. You can only Accept it and pick up your cross, or deny it, and recieve ressurection unto damnation.
The Lord has Said it.
The Bible.
The Book of Mormon.
The Doctrine and Covenants.
The Pearl of Great Price.
Heavenly Father.
Jesus Christ.
The Holy Ghost.

Re: Question
listen to what you just said.
Me: Jesus Christ is also as God is. he is also therefore referred to - as God - , because he is also God, just not >GOD< God. He is the Son of God.
You: as a member of ben-elohym? do you interpret this group as gods, lesser gods, angels, or what?
***Me: (do you think that because you used the word "elohym", that you think you know god?)
Me: God gave us commandments to follow his laws. The laws of God are what makes God, >GOD<. So therefore, if Christ is telling us to become like God by following his laws, and God's laws are what make God >GOD<, then we, through repentance, and the Atonement of Christ, enter into our Redemtion, and through the Eternities, become as God >IS<.
You: no, that can't be right, because (as i'm discussing in another thread and have discussed before) god is not bound by his own laws. rather, god is above them. god's law is for mankind alone. god himself can be seen breaking his own laws many times in the bible.
god controls when we are born and when we die. but god tells man "thou shalt not kill."
My Reply: God is a God of Righteousness, Which means that God Follows the Laws of Righteousness. God Gives us the Same laws that he Follows. God could not exist except he were to Follow laws. for if he were to follow no laws, he would be non existant, because it is laws that cause us to exist. God cannot be above his own laws, for his laws are what control and govern the universe. Because any law that he gives us is a law that he already follows, it is his will that we become as Righteous as he is. To Do as He Would. Jesus Christ has told us numerous times to Follow GOD. how can you not listen to that. Quit trying to interpret the Bible so as to sastify your carnal desires, there will be no reward for you in the end except that which you feed to yourselves, don't you understand that. Anytime God does something, he is just. If God kill's a man, it is because the man deserve's it, or it is part of certain law's of god. When God gives you a commandment to not kill innocent people (murder), he is saying, "Do not shed innocent blood, lest the Lord thy God holds thee accountable for the life of an innocent man, now, and at judgement". God has never said, "Abondon thyselves, that the murderer might slaughter thee." (basically telling you that if there is a murder amongst you, kill him, he is an enemy to life.)
your own foolishness of trying to SEE God According to YOUR Terms is Faulty. You will find yourself in the furnace that you don't even care about. quit letting satan lead your lives around while you don't even know what life is.
If God makes a commandment, you obey it.
Do not interpret God the way god has interpreted himself to you.
Do not try to satisfy Vain and Senseless desires.
Read the Bible, and do what it says, instead of trying to interpret it so that it will satisfy your own carnal and selfish lives.
God exists, despite your existance.
you will never get rid of God.
He can only get rid of you.
Ps.
How do I put text into those blue boxes that you keep putting them into?
Oh yes...
PPs.
God created man in his own image, and also to attain the same glory as him. God and man were created to live together with the same inheritance that the Lord has, Eternal Life. The only people that do not amount to God are Lucifer(Satan) and his Angels, and anyone like them.
The Bible is a great source for all of the Foundation Doctrine of the Gospel.
The Book of Mormon is a Second Witness to the Coming of the Son of Man(Christ), and a Witness that his Gospel is Truth, and that it leads to Eternal Life. The Book of Mormon is also the Second Volumn of Scripture Bringing to Men the Preperatory Gospel. The Preperatory Gospel being the Docterine that needs to be being lived by men on Earth if they ever expect to be able to see God in Heaven.
Additional Scriptures are Additional Clarification in the workings of God, and his will for his Children. Unless any Scriptures has been produced of Christ(i.e. Prophets that he has Appointed through his power and priesthood to convey knowledge through to the children of men), it is not his Doctrine.
Do not decieve yourselves.
Your Eternal Salvation is more Serious, and Preciously Valuable, then your Desires or Wishes that can be satisfied on Earth.
Quit touching yourselves, it's wicked
Quit Smoking, it's wicked
Quit doing your drugs, it's wicked
Quit Violating yourselves with strangers, it's wicked
Quit doing things that are abominable in the sight of God, it's wicked
Quit killing your unborn children, it's wicked
Quit being wicked, it's wicked.
Grow up and start walking straight in the ways of the Lord, you are wicked. You don't even listen to him when he speaks to you. He knows your hearts, and I know that he knows your hearts, and you can only be converted, or you will be going to hell. Either way, I know that I'll have Rest in him in the end, from you, and the rest of this perverted world. Satan wants you, and wishes to sift you as wheat. And as long as you keep denying the Lord's Desires, you are giving Satan what HE Desires.
You can only go to ways in this world with your decisions:
RIGHT
or
WRONG.
"Get a Clue."
Gods are Gods, Angels are Angels, but all are still the same, they have all Inherited ETERNAL LIFE! Where will you BE Going in Life?

It's funny how you try to discredit the Book of Mormon by naming it BOM. you might as well just call the Bible B.

Re: Question
because he is a part of what God is. I think that the interpretation of things, and the understanding of things, is what men usually have a hard time understanding.
There is no other God that forseas over the things that Jesus Christ does. *this is a really bad comment, but I'm going to leave it in because I'm really bad at communicating effectively sometimes.
It's like the Marine Corps. They are all Marines. but there can only be one General that forseas all things. even though there are Generals just like him, they are servants unto him.
here is how you could liken it.
***** (5-star) General = God.
***** (5-star) General = Christ.
***** (5-star) General = The Holy Ghost.
***** (5-star) Generals = The Hosts of Heaven, Angels.
**** (4-star) Generals (men), Wait to inherit Eternal life to become
***** (5-star) Generals = Saints, because they follow God's Commandments.
They are all 5-star Generals (with the exception of men), however, only 1 can preside over all of them.
They mabye all Gods, in one degree or another, yet there can only be 1(one) God to preside over them.
all the heirs of Eternal salvation become Gods as God is, but God can only be God if he is maintaining his Presidence over all of them, (which trust me, God wouldn't have a problem doing because they all love him.[and ofcourse, he is who created them, so how could he not have presidence over them.])
A God is anyone who inherits the Kingdom of God.
A God is anyone who inherits Eternal Salvation.

Re: Question
yes, but see the thing is is that you understand that God uses Living Prophets. God is Eternal. Do you not Understand that because God is Eternal, and that because he uses Living Prophets, that he will always make sure that he always has a Living Prophet down here so that men can be rightly guided by his Light?
The Bible only covers the Generally Specific History of the Earth up until Christ decided to start taking over and made his new testament. The bible is the word of God, but it is not all that God has to say.

Re: Pick up at the other BoM thread ?
lol
because they "prey" on everybody, not just young, vulnerable people on college campuses. The will of the Lord is to be made known unto all those who accept it. you can't expect human beings to know who's going to accept it or not until first, they can read their mind, or second, they ask them.
We can't force you to believe in God. We can only plead that you would believe.
Besides, who do you think that God should look like?
