I'm done with you.Synonyms are different words with the same meaning, the Bible uses the word nasah which means tempt or rest. So the meaning is quite clear.

Not distinct? What does the Bible say:I believe he is God, begotten of the same essence as the Father and proceeds from him as the Holy Spirit is begotten of the same essence and proceeds from the Father through the Son. Jesus is God one with the Father and Holy Spirit, not a god sperate or distinct from them in being.
....Some people do not know what they believe because the trinity is not mentioned in the Bible. Jesus has a body of flesh and bone. Isn't that distinct from the Holy Spirit?
The Father is greater than the Son.Only His human body is distinct. His divinity is the same.
The Father is greater than the Son.
Please read the scripture in context:Php_2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
We will be equal to the angels.
uk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
All the saved are adopted children of God.
Please read the scripture in context:
(New Testament | Philippians 2:5 - 6)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
We are to be of the same mind as Jesus Christ, and as we are in the image of God we should not think it robbery to be equal to God. That being said not everyone will be equal to God.
(New Testament | Luke 20:35)
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Which world was Jesus referring to when He said "that world"? We know there are three heavens.

It means being equal to God as Jesus Christ is equal to God.Of course---for us that means we are to be equal in mind to God---to Jesus---He is equal to God in mind and body! I'm glad you see the difference!
It means being equal to God as Jesus Christ is equal to God.
Okay then, be equal to the angels. I will concentrate on a higher calling, the calling of God in Jesus Christ:In you dreams---I clearly showed you where it says we will be equal to angels. I know that's a bummer for you guys with your lust for power, but that is a huge elevation for we are made lower than the angels.
Any way you want to slice up the scriptures---we will never be equal to God. Jesus is. Those who wish to be His equal, will be keeping company with Satan and his followers!
It means being equal to God as Jesus Christ is equal to God.
Do you forget that Jesus will be equal with God, but that we will be joint-heirs with Jesus of all that the Father has. Being the children of God and because we are children we are heirs, and joint heirs with Jesus pretty much sums it all up. So here is the progression:In you dreams---I clearly showed you where it says we will be equal to angels. I know that's a bummer for you guys with your lust for power, but that is a huge elevation for we are made lower than the angels.

We know that we will be equal to Jesus, right? (joint-heirs, right?) And if we will be equal with Jesus, who we know is equal to God, then that makes us equal with God too.
Those that choose to be single will remain as the angels. Those that are married and reach the higher levels of heaven have a totally different experience and glorification. Bodies like the glory of the sun, compared to bodies with the glory of the moon or stars. Interesting study.
Yes we do need to humble ourselves as He did, becoming obedient even to the point of death. And we should not let sin rule us either:Christ is not just 'equal to' God -- He is God. We, however, are not God, and that will never, ever, ever change. The point of pointing out Christ's "not (considering) it robbery to be equal to God" is that, if the plan of salvation had been other than it actually was, He could have not been incarnate, as that definitely involved a deliberate 'lowering' of Himself by taking on the human nature so that He may elevate it once again and bring it back to its original perfection which our first parents enjoyed in the garden before the deception of the serpent introduced sin into the world.
Our Heavenly Father's love for us being so incomprehensibly amazing as it is, He sent His Only-Begotten Son to us, to take flesh from St. Mary the Theotokos, and become truly man, for the salvation of our race and the transformation of all that He had created. And in due time He accepted His voluntary death upon the holy wood of the cross for us sinners, so that we may be saved and freed from the shackles of sin and death.
This is the mind that we must acquire: the self-sacrificing, self-abasing/self-lowering and humbling mind of Christ, that has at all times the knowledge of the higher purpose of everything (the glorification of God in all things), but does not therefore avail itself of this higher purpose in order to avoid 'being in the trenches' with the absolute worst that human life has to offer, precisely because that higher purpose is what transforms this life of suffering, pain, sin, and death to one of salvation, freedom from sin and death, and joy in the new life with Christ, Who sits at the right hand of the Father once more, having completed His good mission and defeated death by His death. We are to do likewise, but in our own lives: to "run the race" to its good end, and hence obtain the promise of eternal life for those who follow Christ, for the glory of Him Who came and saved us, and His good Father, and the Holy Spirit Who guides men to this same good end.
Perhaps it is difficult for Latter-Day Saints to understand, but this is why churches with actual saints (as in, people connected to a particular Christian tradition who are publicly venerated as a part of that church's liturgical life) often venerate those who were the simplest, plainest, most attached to lives of poverty and toil, and so on. St. Moses the Ethiopian (4th century), for instance, had been a robber and murderer, and lived luxuriously on the wealth that his wicked deeds had yielded. After his complete transformation of soul, mind, and body, he lived in the monastery as a monk and famously carried with him a bag of sand with a hole in the bottom, which left a trail of sand behind him as he walked. When he was called by his brother monks to judge one who had erred, he pointed to the trail of sand and said "These are the sins of my life, trailing behind me everywhere I go, and yet you ask me to judge another?"
How can someone who has acquired such a mindset ever accept the Mormon contention, based on this gross misreading of scripture that is certainly demonically inspired, that we are as God is? What sins of his 'former life' does the Mormon God have to humble himself with the remembrance of? This idea is sick. It is a perversion in the grossest way of the perfectly fine and orthodox principle of Theosis, whereby we can become more and more (and more!) like God through our union/cooperation with Him. This is how workers in the vineyard become 'partakers in the divine nature', as is promised in scripture -- but it is never, ever said that they become God. God is already God. That position is taken, and always has been, and always will be.
When we humble ourselves as He did, becoming obedient even to the point of death, we take on the mind of Christ. That is does not mean we become Him. Were that possible, the scriptures and all the apostles, disciples, and fathers would have taught so. They didn't, and no amount of Mormon misinterpretation and misapplication of this or that verse can change what has already been established.
I do not forget---but you do forget that Jesus always was God and always will be God.
All I can say is that you will just have to wait and see.I do not forget---but you do forget that Jesus always was God and always will be God. He became human for our salvation, but remains God. We never were God and thus can never become God. One does not become God---a God is not created, He does not work Himself into a God---He is God. And there is only ONE--THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. We will never be equal to God, we are joint heirs with His Son---in His humanity, we can not be partakers of His divinity. Divinity can not be acquired.
There is not one verse anywhere in the bible that says we must be married at all. Your study of the stars and moon has nothing to do with our study of them.
But according to you, I am saved just like you. I believe in Jesus Christ and had the baptism of water and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the second I believed in Jesus Christ I was saved. See you in heaven.Actually it's you and He is the Way that will … then to only realize the sad tragic reality of just how Mormonism is one of many false paths that leads to outer darkness.
Nonsense, I made no such suggestion.But according to you, I am saved just like you. I believe in Jesus Christ and had the baptism of water and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the second I believed in Jesus Christ I was saved. See you in heaven.
When I was young, I was not taught all the things that adult people are taught in the chruch about Jesus and God. All I knew when I was 8 was Jesus was my Savior and if I trusted in him and lived a good life, I would have Eternal life. Then my experience with the Holy Ghost confirmed my belief and that second, I was saved.
So no nightmare for me. Like I say, see you in heaven.
