Unorthodox TheologyA forum to discuss/debate theological doctrines not accepted by mainstream evangelical Christianity (eg. Full Preterism, Unitarianism)
Its really as simple as Galatians 1:8 If anyone, even an "angel", comes preaching anything different from this word, it is not from God.
The lds doctrine is way different in many ways, from God's word.
They can claim the "real" truth was unknown til they had it, but anyone can claim that.
Its simple deception, they are deceived.

I second that. We know that from God's Word, that He always was, is now and always will be God. He graciously gave us His Word, His Son for our Salvation and His Spirit for our Comforter and guidance. The Bible is His Word and He states that nothing will prevail against it and that it is forever Truth. It has been the standard for all the years it has been in existence from the early writings to the Bibles we have today. All of our truth comes from within these pages and His Holy Spirit that dwells within us testifies to this.
To say that the Bible is true as long as it is correctly translated casts a shadow of doubt about the truth of it. To say that a restoration was needed is casting doubts upon the body of Christ, meaning the people for we know that the body is not made up of corporations and buildings. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life; anything else is as the writer above states.
Please be careful about the claims you make,so you do not offend
other members.

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come..." is what I was hoping to discuss. What does this phrase, "Spirit of Truth," mean? To whom does it refer? Is he a Person or does this phrase merely mean "correct teaching?"

My understanding is that the Spirit of truth refers to the Holy Ghost. If it only meant correct teaching, then "he" would not be used to speak of the Spirit of truth.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13

Are you in agreement with the majority of LDS on this? Or is this your personal view that disagrees with official LDS teaching? Personal views are not much help to non-LDS who may happen to read these threads.
