2ducklow, That's right. The light of Christ proceeds from God through his Son and it gives light and life to all things. It is the law by which all things are governed in all creation. Everyone born into mortality is influenced by the light of Christ, and one of it's manifestations is...

I have told you whom I worship, and you have not accepted it, and you have done so with no reason to think that I am lying to you. Also, with the exception of one instance, when I was trying to show that our other scriptures agree with the Bible, I have only referenced the Bible to support my...

I understand it from the perspective of truth which is also found in the Bible. I think your interpretation of the Bible is incorrect, though I respect your right to believe and interpret scriptures as you wish. All you are saying is that they are separate yet not separate without any...

The reason for that was I didn't realize I needed to explain that one. I have no problem explaining my religion. Can you tell me what your issue is with my use of the title "Eternal Father" to describe the Godhead? Simply saying that that designation is not directly found in the Bible is...

Please provide Biblical support that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are "one Triune Godhead". I cannot find the words "Triune" or "Trinity" anywhere in the Bible. But, before we get carried away, what is your beef with my use of the title "Eternal Father" to describe the Godhead? Vanhin

I think it is encouraging that while many of us in Internetland are feverishly debating doctrine, that those involved in providing relief in the world have no problems working with one another to bring about real change. Pure religion (James 1:27) . Regards, Vanhin

This is a quote from the CRS award article. One example of the LDS Church effort to meet the needs of those facing natural disasters like famine, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes, is their ATMIT program. Begun in 1985, the LDS Church began producing ATMIT, a specific formula for...

Moodshadow! You have learned to quote!! :clap: I'm probably late to the party though. Vanhin

It's also important to note that LDS relief is often provided in conjunction with other relief organizations such as CRS, Islamic Relief, and the Red Cross. Here are some examples. Intermountain Catholic Mormon church, Islamic Relief team up for Pakistan flood relief | Mormon Times Mormons...

Evergreen48, You continue to be one of my favorite posters out here. I really appreciate your point of view. Thanks. I tend to agree with Evergreen on this matter. I do not think that fore-ordination/predestination and free will are mutually exclusive ideas. I think that the all-knowing...

Hey Kat, I hope you are well today. Sorry I missed this at first, I didn't realize you responded to me. I think it can be shown from the record that Had Jesus not ascended yet to the Father, he would have forbade them from touching him, as he had Mary.Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I...

Though I do not doubt that there are some major differences in our beliefs concerning the Godhead, I have no issues which what you just summarized. I believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are separate persons, and that they are each God, and they are one Godhead, unified in...

Clearly there was an implied judgment in his post. In a world of competing voices, we have to choose. In his case he chose to accept the voices of some over others, therefore he made a judgment call, yet he nevertheless graciously thanked the other respondents. Your post seemed to me to imply...

That is very interesting. I was surprised to hear there were baptist who did not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. My father who was a Southern Baptist believed that Jesus is God's Son. I'm checking out that link you sent me. I would be interested as well. To my eyes, the Bible is pretty...

Hi Benevolous, You are mistaken about the relationship between the Father and the Son, and you are clearly mistaken about our doctrine concerning the conception of Christ. On the first point, I will gladly allow you to believe what you wish concerning the Son of God, but you are in defiance of...

The God that this Christian worships is a Spirit. So you are in good company. However, I didn't include my opinion. I merely quoted the Bible. So if there is something there you disagree with, you'll have to take it up with Author. Or you could convene a council or two and let the wisdom of...

The scriptures do teach us that mankind, both male and female, were created in the image of God. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Gen. 1:27) And in the New Testament. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as...

Hi Phoebe, Did you have a point/argument that I should respond to? Mind summarizing your point? Kind of like I did where you make your point and then provide reference. You know what I mean? Regards, Vanhin

Hello Benevolous, Nice to meet you. So, Baptists don't believe that Jesus Christ is the actual Son of God, or is that just a personal belief of yours? Mind expounding on your thoughts? Regards, Vanhin

He is God the Son. Who's voice was heard to say, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased", on the occasion of Christ's baptism? His own voice? Who was able to forsake him for a moment, while he hung on the cross, that He, who was sinless, was able to experience the one thing that...
