Hmmm...but, as I have pointed out before, you don't believe in God. You believe in God's. God's who used to be men now roaming omnipotently around the galaxies operating planets of their own with lots of celestial wives at their side.

I do believe in the one God whom we are instructed to worship by Christ (Elohim, our Heavenly Father), but keep in mind that the Bible teaches plurality of gods (Psalms 82:6, John 10:33-35, Revelation 3:21, etc.).

gdemetz, taking scripture out of context will never win you any arguments here. Doing it over and over again just makes it seem like you aren't very intelligent or openly dishonest. You continually do that to support absurd positions like a plurality of gods. That is plainly ridiculous considering the two major religions that use the Bible are Judaism and Christianity - both of which are monotheistic (not polytheistic)religions. You might wonder how they could have missed these "teachings" and ended up there, unless the scriptures don't teach what you suggest.

That is not taking scripture out of context! That is a biblical teaching that even Christ mentioned! Ye (You are) gods and all of you are the children of the Most High! It can't get any plainer than that!

Ummm, as I said, you are either not intelligent enough to understand that is not taught there or are just being dishonest about it. Your statement that "It can't get any plainer than that!" is laughable since clearly almost no-one in the Christian world agrees with you except perhaps a segment of Mormonism that are under the misguided impression that they are going to be God one day. It is just false doctrine perpetuated by a culture of ignorance or deceit. I hope one day that you recognize what blasphemous false doctrine this is and reject it. You'll be a better Christian and Mormon then.

That's apostate Christendom. The same version of Christianity which includes beliefs such as the ridiculous 3 in 1 Athanasian creed, walk down the isle and make a profession of faith and no matter what you do you will be saved forever, buy your way to heaven by the sale of indulgences, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. Are those teachings Biblical?!? LOL! That is why it was necessary for the "restitution of all things, including the church!

What kind of crack are you on anyway? "Two separate personages" and planet Kolob that came from occult seer stones out of a stove-pipe hat and pagan doctrine doesn't have Jack to do with Christianity. Your KoolAid glass is empty and the blue surrounding your mouth is the stain of Mormon doctrine mirroring Christianity, which is a completely different religion. Joseph Smith is a false prophet of God to Christians... wake up Sunshine.

You can spout all the hogwash you like, but the fact is that Joseph saw the same thing that the Biblical prophets saw, and that was Jesus Christ on the right hand of His Father!!!

You can spew out the gibberish you've been taught to believe, but Joesph Smith didn't see anything but the naked bodies of the young women he married and destroyed their lives. You really should look into critical thinking... just so you have a concept of what it entails.
