It would be nice if you would answer my question first. I admit that Evs don't have the answers to all the questions one might want to ask. But the LDS church claims to have a living prophet. And the living prophet is supposed to be a superior system. It seems to me that the LDS have as many, if not more, nagging problems as do other religions.


I never said they did not. I just said your use of someones wild speculation was a cheap shot. It was,
You think it was. Huck and I disagree. End of story.

Is Jesus subordinate to the father? Christians have not gotten this one straight yet.

Hi Gazelam,

Jesus is subordinate to the Father in order, but not in Nature. Jesus and His Father are one in Nature. (Please See For Example: 2 Nephi 31:21, Mosiah 15:1-4, Alma 11:38-44, and Mormon 7:7.)
Here is John Chapter Chapter Five, Verses 22-30, Within the New Testament:

John 5:22-30: (New King James Version)

22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.


Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
