Jibaholic: You both (1) used an inaccruate - and Mormon - bible, and (2) left out the context. The NASB is more accurate. Here is the full quote. There heresy of believing in other gods is clear.

Um the KJV is an inaccurate bible, LOL! The bible says there are other gods, just that we are not to worship them.

DU: Pride = Thinking you know what we believe even when we deny that "that" is what we believe. Jibaholic: Pride= wanting to be like God.

There are many ways to be proud, thinking you know more than you do is one of them.

Jibaholic: That goes back to original sin. Genesis 3:5.
4(C)The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die!
5"For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."


You left off the trailer for that one...
22 ¶ And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Note that this is one place where Satan actually told the truth to sneak in the lie about not dying. The sin was disobedience not wanting to be like God we are commanded to emulate him.

I quoted from NASB. You may have a cookie for Bible Gateway to use the KJV. The NASB is one of the most accurate translations, certainly more so than the Mormon bible.
Note that this is one place where Satan actually told the truth to sneak in the lie about not dying. The sin was disobedience not wanting to be like God we are commanded to emulate him.

Ah, but disobedience of what? Original sin goes deeper than eating a piece of fruit. The sin was pride: wanting to be like God. Eve didn't want the fruit; she wanted to be like God.
