Scripture says that hell was created for the devil and his angels. While we know that people will certainly be in hell (Jesus said this about Judas Iscariot), does anyone have to go there? https://t.

@HomelyHearth @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma Just to be clear, the LDS church doesn’t outright deny the deity of Jesus, but makes him a created being and also that all of us can become exalted to gods just

@BLeBlan68656830 @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma The critical part is what is believed about Jesus. If Jesus is created, then LDS do not teach that Jesus is the uncreated creator. Therefore, they do not believe that Jesus is the “I AM”—that He is the etern...

@SladeTheGuy @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma Well, yes, that too. According to LDS teaching, Lucifer was created before you and I. Jesus is the elder brother (firstborn), then some time later, Lucifer, then much later you and I. This is all before we have ...

@BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma The LDS teach that Jesus is the spirit-brother of Lucifer, that there is really no difference between us and Jesus except time and that one day other LDS men will be like Jesus on their own planet and be their saviour. Thes...

@ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @look2Christ Did you forget that Paul did the same thing because he was ignorant and thought that by killing Christians he was being zealous for God and doing what God wanted? God-fearers can be misled by others like the Ju...

@CherylSchatz @ymmotrojam @look2Christ The issue with the Calvinist rendering is that it is coercive. The presumption is that no one would want to trust Jesus and that God has to in fact force people by overriding their "totally depraved" bend to not...

@CoHeir316 I told you the answer. Being clear doesn’t always mean saying “yes” or “no” because it’s nuanced. You are thinking about Jesus’ deity. He wasn’t created and we were; we are not God. But nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus claim author...

@CoHeir316 The scripture does not speak of Jesus taking authority over His church. As God He can do whatever He wants—clearly! But scripture treats the church as part of His very body and receiving His inheritance and even ruling and reigning with Hi...

@King_Brody @pastherandie Brody, are you assuming ‘head’ (literally the top of the body—it’s not a complex word) means authority or commander? Where does this idea come from? Is it context? Why isn’t ‘authority’ or ‘commander’ ever used for Jesus ove...

@C_del_G @Rach4Patriarchy Right. So don’t submit like slaves (they were being treated like property or slaves), but submit out of love like you do towards Jesus. How is Christ the head of the church? Here’s how: He is the *Saviour* of the body. He i...

@timesux @yahtsidkenu33ad @Eric_Conn In 2Pe 2:12, Peter is referring to false teachers who deny "the Master who bought them" (2Pe 2:1). This clearly shows that Jesus paid for their sin, but they denied Him by their own actions. v12 is simply describi...

@GWreformed1689 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge Jesus was a leader. He didn't come to command, but to serve. He asked people what they wanted Him to do for them, or if they wanted to be healed. He never overruled their will. He also said He came to s...

@GWreformed1689 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge If you believe that elders are the greatest, then by Jesus' own words, the greatest ought to be the slave of all. "But it is not this way among you; rather, whoever wants to become prominent among you ...

@ilJohnQadamso @BenZeisloft Yes, eschatology matters. While it’s true that Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Mt 28:18), the way that authority is currently exercised is distinct from the way it will be manif...

@ThatSarahLynn @_jonbowlin @MikeWingerii The scriptures are clear that Jesus died for every human without exception. Only those who put on the robe of righteousness they have been given by Christ will have their sins covered. Adam’s sin brought deat...

@JRowley11 @DustyDeevers Yes, once someone believes, we pass on the instructions of Jesus and His apostles. Laws and enforcing them are part of the purpose of government, but the OP (and you) seem to be suggesting treating everyone like confessing C...

@JonLawr45183174 @ScottCross_8 @jhillky2 @masonmennenga Well, Paul and Jesus are not in disagreement. I've met people that I would give $20 to and then he would give that away and steal from the grocery store! And he was on welfare. He wanted me to ...

@Whitehorse1255 @MikeWingerii Whether the men take greater risks or not has nothing to do with the truth that women are not forbidden from serving as elders. Further, I can demonstrate that there are many women who have risked their lives for the gos...

@lastritesbefore So he didn’t wash your pastor’s feet, right? So your pastor is not qualified to serve as a pastor? Since: a: he is not an apostle and was not directly chosen by Christ, b: he is a gentile, and c: Jesus didn’t wash his feet …is that...

@TheVaxScene @ManiCompreshun2 @MikeWingerii Wait, the Hebrew scripture on the account about creation and the fall in Eden is a lie created to deceive? Then why does Jesus, Paul and Jude all refer to it? (Mt 19:4-6; Mk 10:6-9; 1Co 15:22,45-49; 2Co 1...

@Methodios007 No. The Mormons/LDS teach I'm missing another gospel witness of Jesus' dealings in America. They presume the Bible and add to it with the BOM, the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrines and Covenants, Word of Wisdom, etc. Once you accept J...

@Milocinia @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii That verse doesn’t say “an elder must not be a woman”—there is no verse that says a man is allowed to authentein anyone either. Jesus said clearly that whoever wants to be the greatest should be the slave of a...

@1deaman @ProGloriaRegis @SamAshCast @Brian_Sauve No, I’m not ignoring the entire Bible. 1. For 1Ti 2:11-15 see below. 2. Jesus chose the 12 before the church was formed. They were also all Jewish but this doesn’t mean all leaders afterwards had to...

@LostinAusten27 @taylorsschumann The laws concerning what one wears, eats and special days and seasons is done away with in Christ. Concerning morality, this depends on the government. Those who claim to be believers but who practice immorality, are...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I know someone that this happened to also. Jesus spent time alone with the Samaritan woman in a public location, so it's not a sin, but one has to be careful. Joseph was alone with Potiphar's wife which he likely couldn't contro...

@ymmotrojam @YourCalvinist Jesus is the one who knows what He wants for His own church. And Jesus purposely excluded any mention of elders because it is not up to the elders to carry out church discipline, but the church. Jesus' words were not meant...

@carol66944 @RedefineApolog1 @lollyfana Why are you disparaging my view as a “soap opera”? Even though we may disagree on the how, we are on the same team, right? Ro 5 says “one” man not mankind. And then Paul contrasts with Jesus who is one man. Pa...
