No it doesn't. The phrase "exact representation of His nature" indicates that the Son is exactly like the Father, the LDS view.It points to them being the same being.
John 1:1 also shows they are the same being.
None of these verses say anything about them being one through a shared substance.I only said John 1 in this instance points out Jesus as a "shared substance" I then said other verses points out that the Holy Spirit is also God.
...as to the Holy Spirit being the same as the Father...you once said that the Father was Jesus incarnate Father with Mary being Jesus incarnate mother....which is true...but the bible says the Spirit came over Mary and she became pregnant.
This indicated the Holy Spirit and God the Father are the same.
So Lucifer was a son of God, and Christ was/is the Son of God. They share a Father, correct?In the angelic sense...yes.

This is also the LDS view. Note: nothing here about substance.Yes, a seperate person with the exact nature of the Father. One could also say God the Father had the exact nature as Jesus, God the son. They share the nature...considering both are God.
I have already addressed you misconceptions here three times. There is no contradiction with the Bible.The Mormons teach Jesus had a heavenly mother who gave birth to the pre-incarnate Jesus in heaven...then this Jesus inherited the nature of God through this heavenly union...or became God. That is something the bible doesn't even come close to teaching....yet another contradiction.

Have I ever disagreed with you on that point? If so, please provide the post number.Do I need to post John 1:1 again?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
The Word (Jesus) was, is, always was and never wasn't God.

Yes. Mormonism teaches Jesus had a heavenly mother...They teach Jesus ws born in heaven. This clearly tells us Jesus wasn't ALWAYS God.Have I ever disagreed with you on that point? If so, please provide the post number.
I am denying your misconception that the fact that Christ has a heavenly parent means He was created or is anything other than 100% divine.Then you did a poor job ecause you were not in the least bit convincing.
...are you now denying mormon theology that Jesus had a heavenly mother?

I asked you to provide the post number where I ever said that Christ was never God. You have failed to do so. On the contrary, I have said repeatedly that Christ was/is alway God. This is LDS teaching.Yes. Mormonism teaches Jesus had a heavenly mother...They teach Jesus ws born in heaven. This clearly tells us Jesus wasn't ALWAYS God.
For you to tell me Jesus was always God..you have to deny mormon teaching.
You are dodging my question. The Father is Christ's Father, correct? Does Him having a Father invalidate Him from being God in your theology? It doesn't for me either.Then what was Jesus prior to His heavenly birth from a heavenly mother?
No. Please quit making false assumptions.If Jesus was Lucifers brother...then Jesus was an angel...angels are not god.

Please acknowledge this.
The same way He has a Father and is God.Yes, you've spouted that...but when asked how...you do the Mr. Bojangles soft shoe dance.
How can Jesus be born of a mother in heaven..and be God?

The same way He has a Father and is God.
I'm talking about before the Incarnation. Christ was the Son of God, and the Father was His Father. Do you not believe this?In a sense when the Holy Spirit came over Mary.
Until you acknowledge foundational LDS beliefs (like Jesus Christ is the Son of God and 100% divine) there no point talking about more advance subjects.So the mother was God?
What was Jesus prior to becoming the son of god? Why will you not answer that question?
