Well truthislight, av given you passages in the Bible that support my claim of the eternal nature of God, I haven't added the Book of Mormon o which also supports what the Bible is saying, since you would just discredit it, yet you say they teach different things and you said something about self deceit....I don't want to go into much details sha but am challenging you today to try and get a copy of the Book of Mormon and read for yourself ; if you don't find any atom of truth in it, forget it and the church.......

For clarification, we don't believe in/teach trinity.....we call it GODHEAD which I explained earlier on.

Also, we believe the BIBLE very well to be the word of GOD as well as THE BOOK OF MORMON.

truthislight: Guy, why not go to the Mod thread and ask how to quote aspects of posters post?

As you can see, i could not really address(quote) or fully comprehend your reply to me as it all appeared quoted.

Better still, remove the part of my post and post yours directly so that your post will be clearer pending when you master how to quote aspect or other posters post.

Peace

If that is a sincere advice and not an insult, thank you...I apologize for not being clear, but I implore you, if you take time to read the post, you'll pick out my replies to your to earlier comment....anywaiz, i'll try 2 modify it.

Ubenedictus: so there was a change in revelation?Strange!

[quote author=Flyin' Saucer]Not strange, God always repent, regrets, update etc all d tyme ...[/quote]I don't know what you're saying, but am pretty sure God used to give revelations to his prophets in the olden days and still continues to give revelations to his prophets in these latter days to guide his people.........
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets"

truthislight: If it is in form, does that mean that chimpanzys are also in God's images.

The Bible never said anything about creating animals in his own image....The animals like chimps were created for their own purpose whatever it may be.....God deals with Man(his children) that he created in his own image.

truthislight: allmost all christiandom churches belief in the trinity and so what?

We do not believe in trinity, trinity says that the 3 Gods are 1person.......we teach that they are 3 separate beings united in 1 purpose.

truthislight: What then makes you unique?

The Book of Mormon - another testament of Jesus Christ which is found only in our church. The Book of Mormon testifies of the bible to be true and the Bible testifies of the Book of Mormon to be true...Together, they provide the fullness of the Gospel......This is what we have that other Christian dominations don't have.

truthislight: Who told you that trinity is a bible based teaching?
Look for something else.

I never said anything about trinity or it being a Bible based teaching.

truthislight: Jesus is not almighty God

Yes!....he(Son) is the second in the Godhead while God(Father) is the head. Jesus Christ is [a]God.

truthislight: "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." (John 1:18)........

And how do you come to know he is "flesh and bone"?.

I hope you agree with me that Jesus Christ even when he had ressurrected had an immortal glorified body of flesh and bone.....He told Thomas(coz he tot Jesus was a spirit) touch me, feel my hands, he ate and dined with them and told them that he is not a spirit for a spirit hath no flesh were it not so he would not av eaten with them.....(John 14 : 9) says ...HE THAT HATH SEEN ME, HATH SEEN THE FATHER, and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father.......(2Cor 4 : 4) ...lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.......(Philip. 2 : 5-6) let this mind be in you, which was also Christ Jesus ; who being in the form of God.......(Col 1 : 15) ...who(Jesus) is the image of the invisible God...............( Heb 1 : 3) who(Jesus) being in the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person(God)...................many other scriptures tell us that Man was created in God's image, his form, ressemblance....which means that God has a body just like Man.......(James 3 : 9) therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.......(1Tim 3 : 16) ...God was manifest in the flesh ; justified ain the spirit.........I haven't included Book of Mormon scripture passages which testifies of and affirms and adds more knowledge to what the Bible has said alread, since am pretty sure you will outrightly condemn......

truthislight: is your God flesh and bone? Yes or no?

(John 4:24).
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. " (John 4:24).

does your book of Mormon agree with that ^^^?

Am very much farmiliar with that passage in the Bible, from the translation of this portion by scholars, its very straighforward telling us that God is a spirit.....YES! He is our spirit Father, the natural man is an enemy to God and the Canal mind does not understand the things of the Lord, that's why John admonished us to worship him in spirit and in truth.

@truthislight.......In the Bible, we are made to understand that God created man in his own image and likeness.....what does that tell you? ; That God has 10 legs whike humans have two?why are we often referred to as children of God? ; Can a human produce/give birth to a Dog??.......In LDS, we believe in the GODHEAD - made up of 3 distinctive beings, God the Father, God the Son(Jesus Christ) and the Holy Ghost united in 1 purpose which is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man... The Father has a body of flesh and bone as tangible as Man, He has an immortal, glorious and perfected body, so is his Son but man has a mortal body with blood subject to pain and weakness, but the Holy Spirit has no body, its a personage of the spirit were it not so, it would not dwell in us.

truthislight: this god that bend when money pressure come his way.

So, the gods bend when force to?
Smh.

Did he not know that his decision was wrong in the beginning?

What a short sighted God!

HEY!!!!.....Mormons are Christians and they worship the same GOD, so, u might wanna be careful wid the language ur using, its totally wrong.....

Mormon nairalanders let's meet here

Evil Brain: The Mormons actually first came to Nigeria in the early 1960s, but they were unceremoniously kicked out by the federal government over their blatantly racist teachings and practices. They only stopped discriminating against blacks in 1978 when political pressure and their need to expand into new countries like Brazil (and make more money) made the policy untenable.

Meanwhile, they have never repudiated or apologized for. their long history of racism. They don't feel they have done anything to be sorry for.

Apparently it was God that told then that blacks had the seed of Cain and couldn't hold any notable position in the church. Luckily, he has a habit of changing his mind at the very moment his decrees become inconvenient for the LDS church.

Racism/discrimination is a disease that tends to harbour in some people. Forgive me for saying this, the whites generally have always considered themselves as a better breed thus looking down on people with the darker skin, even as the Jews did to other nations. It is quite unfortunate that the few early Mormons had the same mentality and disregarded the blacks. After much prayer and appeal to God, a revelation(which helps in guiding the church) was given to the then prophet to regard the blacks as equal thus ending racism among Mormons. Today, the church fights against racism and if you haven't heard of any apology from the church, I want to use this medium to assure you that RACISM is not found among MORMONS and plead with those who feel they were discriminated in one way or the other.

Logicboy03: That is good to hear but hard to forgive

But we all have to learn to forgive as God commanded us to......

Logicboy03: I hope you do know that mormons were quite racist to black people

That was a problem that occured a century ago but it was resolved by a revelation from the Lord......Blacks are allowed the priesthood and full participation in the church....Today, black Mormons are very happy people....I duno of any type of racism in the church. Even as God commanded Peter in a vision not to discriminate the gentiles so in the church, everybody is equal.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church or, informally, the Mormon Church ) is a Christian primitivist church that considers itself to be a restoration of the church founded by Jesus Christ . The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah , and has established congregations (called wards or branches ) and built temples worldwide. According to the church, it has over 55,000 missionaries worldwide and has a membership of over 14.4 million. [ 1 ] It is ranked by the National Council of Churches as the fourth largest Christian denomination in the United States. [ 2 ] It is the largest denomination in the Latter Day Saint movement started by Joseph Smith during the period of religious revival known as the Second Great Awakening .
Adherents, referred to as Latter-day Saints or, more informally, Mormons , view faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement as the central tenet of their religion. [ 3 ] LDS theology includes the Christian doctrine of salvation only through Jesus Christ, [ 4 ] though LDS doctrines regarding the nature of God and the potential of mankind differ significantly from mainstream Christianity. The church has an open canon which includes four scriptural texts : [ 5 ] the Bible (both Old and New Testaments ), the Book of Mormon , the Doctrine and Covenants , and the Pearl of Great Price . Other than the Bible, the majority of the LDS canon constitutes revelation dictated by Joseph Smith and includes commentary and exegesis about the Bible, texts described as lost parts of the Bible, and other works believed to be written by ancient prophets .
Under the doctrine of continuing revelation , Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus Christ, under the direction of Heavenly Father , leads the church by revealing His will to its president , whom adherents regard as a modern-day " prophet, seer, and revelator ". The current president is Thomas S. Monson . Individual members believe that they can also receive personal revelation from God in conducting their lives. [ 6 ] The president heads a hierarchical structure with various levels reaching down to local congregations. Bishops , drawn from the laity , lead local congregations. Worthy male members, after reaching age 12, may be ordained to the priesthood . Women do not hold positions within the priesthood, but do occupy leadership roles in church auxiliary organizations . [ 7 ]
Both men and women may serve as missionaries, and the church maintains a large missionary program which proselytizes and conducts humanitarian services worldwide. Faithful members adhere to laws regarding sexual purity , health , fasting , and Sabbath observance , and contribute ten percent of their income to the church as a tithe . In addition, the church teaches sacred ordinances through which adherents make covenants with God, including baptism , confirmation , the sacrament ( holy communion ), endowment , and celestial marriage (marriage blessings which extend beyond mortality), which are of great significance to church members.

Dear nairalanders, the word of God is Jesus Christ and it is him that created the heavens and the earth and everything thereof, these he did under the direction of God.
