I Said: Put our religion to "The Test".

U Said: It has been: and found wanting.

Then you should be encouraging all to put it to the test, but instead you do all in your power to keep people from proving it wrong by our own and the Bible's standard, why? I think It is because it passes the test and you don't want people to know for themselves of the truth in the Book of Mormon.

To: WVKayaker; Elsie
I Said: Oh Pulese! The God OF Abraham, and of Isaac and of Jacob, the holy one of Israel, Jesus my Lord, God. who is the God of the Old and New Testaments, in case you were not paying attention.

I Said: I have been paying attention;and YOUR 'god' has TWO physical bodies.

Really? I thought Jesus had one, and his Father had one, Jesus having been given all by his father, God the Father.

Please explain the following scripture to me, I have never understood how the Trinitarians view this:

Acts 7: 55-56
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
This is the Stoning of Stephen who had no problem with Theology, as he is being stoned he says:

Acts 7: 59
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Stephen Saw God the Father and Jesus standing on his right hand side, Stephen saw that Jesus had received all the Power and all the Glory, Stephen knew that Jesus was his Lord, His God. We agree with Stephen and for this you would stone us verbally on the Internet? Repent of your stiff neckedness, actually read what the Bible is saying, not the interpretations of men which you have been taught, come unto God in understanding for this lie which was created generations ago by the evil one was specifically aimed at this understanding:

John 17: 3
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
in order to obtain eternal life, you must know God the Father and Jesus, this scripture is clearly a refutation of the Doctrine of the trinity which makes an incomprehensible mystery out of a purposefully comprehensible God.

You can choose to be confused, or you can let the scales of blindness fall from your eyes.

Let me ask you a couple of Simple, logical questions, no Gotchas, no need to even answer them, just think about them, please?

If God is a spirit only, and he is the Pinnacle of perfection then why curse us with Bodies through the resurrection?

If God is a spirit only, and has no body, then why was Christ resurrected, what did he do with his body once resurrected? Is it temporary? was it a deception for our sakes?

If God the father and Jesus are the same person, Why does Jesus Pray to the Father, speak of the Father in the third person, and teach that he is only doing that which the father tells him to do?

I could ask more questions, but I am sure you either get my point, or are refusing to read and see.

The Trinity is completely incompatible with the Bible in any logical, literal, or rational sense, only those steeped in it find it logical, reasonable, and compatible and that is because they are emotional about it.

Pray, honestly pray to God about whether he and Jesus share the same substance, then pray about whether or not they have separate bodies of flesh and bone, then come and join us the only church with the truth.

Well I KNOW that it doesn't; and so do countless others.

" The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success
unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly -
- it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."

I did say IMHO, do I need to tell you what that means?

Those who will agree with me, Great, those who won't great!

U Said: LURKERS can thru your voluminous postings to the truth.

Lurkers also see through your voluminous postings of the same objections over and over.

Just out of curiosity, do you even know how many times you have bought up Joseph Smith's First vision and asked what was objectionable about Protestantism or the Trinity? Do you even know how repetitive you are?

I'm just curious to know if you know.

Countless, LOL!

Your behavior and your words are not in sync, sorry, but it's just a fact, not an attack.
