I guess Jedi's information requires a response. It is true that Church leaders have made those statements, but I think it's important to consider what was meant when they said them. Were the statements explicit of God the Father having sexual relations with Mary? No. Since I know some people...

... Despite your rude nature, I'll answer your question. No.

What do you all think of the Fall of Adam? Was it a good thing? Bad thing? How? Did God know it would happen? Did He plan on it happening? If He did plan on it, why?

Actually, I made this thread a while back. And abandoned it right away, if you notice the first page. I find the idea and historical formation of Trinity fascinating (and headache-inducing), but I really don't like debating it.

So, according to you, blind people should be able to know what "white" is and deaf should understand the concept of sound. Uh, no, I don't think so. You must then deal with two issues. Either God doesn't love you or He's not ALL-powerful. I tend to agree with the latter case. Even God is...

[HopeTheyDance] Hope, you're quoting quotes. I can't tell if the speakers are actually saying something or if the anti-LDS commentors are putting words in their mouths. That's bad. Do better research. First of all, Joseph Smith can, and has been wrong about various things. He...

I've continued to say it because it's the concept we're arguing. Maybe Paul or Peter got into the same argument way back when but it never ended up in the Bible. Who knows. It is more correct to refer to the three as one, but it is also an injustice to describe them as being an abstract being...

This is post 117... Funny, isn't it? ;)

HopeTheyDance So I ask you, is it more correct to think of these three as three or as one? I can tell you that the LDS Church hardly ever refers to "three Gods," but one God. This, again, is symbolic, but so incorporated with our salvation is it that it is necessary to think this way. The...

HopeTheyDance: I apologize if I have not answered questions that are important to you. I don't seem to recall any iterative requests for answers though. Errm... Care to repost or link to them? Right, no. I'm not saying that everyone has to wait their turn; I'm just saying that...

You know what, I have an idea... Instead of everyone replying to my posts, how about only the people I was addressing are allowed to respond? That way I have a lot less to read. I'll be more specific about who I'm addressing, of course. The above post was mainly for straightforward with a bit...

Very well, but don't expect it to go anywhere. There have been some other good posts as well, yes, but most of the posters here in general have not even responded to my comments. Therefore they are unprofessional. Most here are not willing to admit they don't know something, and so either...

I'll respond to what I disagree with in terms of interpretation. "Paul proclaimed that “there is but one God, the Father” (1 Cor. 8:6)." But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. This...

This would fall into the category of God doing whatever the heck He wants, period. I don't believe in that. There are limits and laws that even He adheres to. Yes, God knew we would sin, and that's exactly the point. You can't know happiness without knowing misery, now can you?

Actually, I have, but they generally simply don't believe it. They've admitted the possibility, but say, "Nah, I don't believe that." Of course, they don't believe in God either, so... :)

Yes! I adamantly agree! Thank you, Watcher! :)

I'm going to restart the discussion from this page. I don't really feel like reading anything before this. Personally, I'd like to drop the subject of the Trinity. It was never my choice to start it up in the first place. It's one of these open-ended things. In my opinion, the Bible doesn't give...

...  :rolleyes:

Yes, thank you. If you want me to get to older, yet un-answered posts, leave me be for a day and I'll get to them. Point something out that you want me to answer, if I missed it. I honestly have tried to reply to every decent comment that's been made, and I mean to do so. Ah, yes, I've...

Woody, I am not even going to respond to your bigotry anymore. As far as God being a man, this is one thing many Christians would argue with you about if I wasn't here. I think many of you wish to show a united front, but I think there are many who would disagree with you. Each time I've...
