As a friend on another site said, "An intelligent conversation requires both reason and the assumption of good will of the one toward the other. Religious bigotry is an emotional positioning. It is immune to reason. I see little value in participating on the LDS Subforum on the...

The Other Side of Heaven

Maybe you missed this in my previous post. Bolded for better viewing. God is not like mortal man in many ways, for He is perfect, divine, immortal, infinitely wise and all knowing, etc. But He did create us in His image (Gen. 1:26,27). To say that He lacks a form or a body, based on John 4:24...

My final point to the "God is ONLY Spirit" crowd: The phrase "God is Spirit" should remind us of other similar phrases, such as "God is light" (1 John 1:5) and "God is love" (1 John 4:8). Are these passages defining God's physical nature or several of His many attributes? Is it not possible...

Brother, We worship God in "spirit" because God is "spirit" and we, being spiritual beings also (but not spirits only), can communicate with Him "in spirit." But nothing in John 4:24 rules out the possibility that God has a body - or that Christ has a body, or that we have bodies. We all do...

Brother, In John 4, a woman is asking Christ about whether God is best worshipped on a Samaritan mountain or in Jerusalem. The context of John 4:24 shows that Christ's answer is about our spiritual communication with God, which is not restricted by place. He wasn't answering a question about...

Aside from your personal bias against Mormonism which is noted, let's deal with the issue that you so strongly support, namely that God is pure spirit. Let's take the phrase "right hand of God" for instance. What evidence do you have the "right hand of God" does not describe a spatial...

Your bias ia already well known.

I guess this is also not the place for the opinion of the episcopalian theologian whom I also quoted since you diisagree with him as well. I guess I'll be looking for the thread "Episcoplaians are not Christian." Be careful your anti-mormon bias is showing.

See, too many folks are caught in the "God is a pure spirit" trap. The view that God is a pure spirit with no body is historical, but historical since its development in the third or fourth centuries, not historical since the time of Christ. A good analysis of this issue comes from Barry...

They are one - but not in the abstract, bodiless "one substance" concept of the Greek philosophers.

Of course the Bible teaches that there is one true God whom we worship. The question is what this means. The Bible clearly teaches that Christ and the Father are two distinct beings, and that the Father is greater than Christ (John 14:28), who is the Son. So if Christ is God (He is) and the...

The New Testament speaks of Christ and God the Father as separate beings in other places as well, such as John 17:3, Romans 15:6, 1 Timothy 2:5 and 1 Timothy 5:21. While Christ and Paul use such language, Christ Himself repeated Deut. 6:4 in Mark 12:29, reminding us that there is but one God...
