    mormonism

    Thank you. But if the Restored Gospel is causing me to stumble, then I pray that God will make me a perfect klutz, for the light and joy that it brings to my life is limited only by my capacity to become equal to its doctrines and blessings fast enough. We simply use different litmus tests...

    Well, it's always nice when we have common ground. Thank you. That is refreshing. To my knowledge, just so you know, there is nothing which I believe that is not in alignment with LDS doctrine, although I hold beliefs which often touch on things beyond the limits of revealed LDS doctrine.

    You win. God bless.

    mormonism

    The atonement of Christ was infinite. There are no sins that mankind has or ever will commit for which Christ did not suffer and pay the price of justice in full measure. We are all co-eternal with God (my belief), including Christ. And I do believe that there was a time when Christ was not...

    mormonism

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not upset about in the "upset" sense. It can be a source of frustration from time to time, though. I'm not going to stomp off or anything like that if you don't say "OK, we agree that you're a Christian like us." Ultimately it is because there is no path in traditional...

    Absolutely. Yes.

    mormonism

    And I don't disagree with any of them, although I see nothing in here that actually recognizes or gives God credit for His also-of-inestimable-worth gift called "agency" or "free will." It is often mislabeled as man's "works," but that's a whole different discussion. Indeed. Absolutely True...

    mormonism

    Well, you've touched on a lot in here—baptism for the dead, the unchanging nature of God, limits of man's progression, etc. Kind of hard to make a simple, intelligent reply, since I am inclined to feel that so much clarification should precede a good response. So I'll just pass on commenting...

    mormonism

    I would not say that it was absolutely unique, although each vision or revelation from God to man is unique in its own right. Such visions and revelations have ever attended God's dealings with his children, so long as faith has been found among them. Nor do I see the relevance in isolating...

    Again, as in my previous post, who determines what Christianity is and who is Christian? Man. So if I embrace you as a Christian, have I violated a trust or covenant with God? Is He pleased or displeased with me? Have I taught false doctrine? Have I furthered or hindered God's cause? You know?

    mormonism

    That is an interesting way of putting it. As a father of 7 (almost 8), the vastness that existed between the creator (me) and the created (my children) could not have been greater than in the moment of their creation (conception). However, inherent in the creature was the capacity for...

    mormonism

    Again, my experience with other Christians (many of whom who would identify themselves as being from the majority you mention) is that there is divergence in how "a Christian" is defined, and that there is likewise a no consensus as to the "vastness" of the differences you spoke of two posts...

    mormonism

    I most certainly am aware of the differences, although experience has led me to conclude that the perception of just how vast these differences are varies among Christians, including among Mormons. That there are differences is evident enough, and that these differences bear in great degree on...

    mormonism

    Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. He is the Savior of mankind in that he suffered for the sins of mankind... in that he laid down his own life and took it up again to bring about the resurrection of man. Without Jesus Christ there is no life, no happiness, no peace...

    mormonism

    Well I didn't say I was "a" Christian, although I agree with that, too. I am Christian because I seek daily to follow Christ in all things (albeit imperfectly, I admit), and I am "a" Christian because I include myself with the body of people who know and testify that Jesus Christ is the Savior...

    I am Mormon. I am Christian. :)
