Not being gods that is for sure. There is only ONE God who reigns,not a bunch of mini-gods ruling their own realms.
The Lord God said that the knowledge of good and evil made Adam, “become as one of us.” This incredible quotation provides evidence, not only that man was made to be like God, but also that man has the potential to become as God!

“And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:” (Gen. 3:22)

I do believe in one God. Don’t you believe that more than one person can be one God?
 
Yes, D&C 132…just when you think it can’t get any worse.
What is wrong with polygamy? They are legalising Gay marriages everywhere, so maybe they will legalise polygamy too one of these days; I will be the first to practice it! 😃
 
These are not God’s words, they are from the imagination of a man. Ditch the false scriptures and focus on the Word of God.
If you want to understand Mormon doctrine from a Mormon perspective, that is the assumption you have to make.
 
So what you are telling us here with your problem with your leaders not using God’s own words, is that THE prophet/seer/revelator, the men “called to be the mouthpiece of God on earth” don’t really speak God’s word. Thanks for the clarification, while I knew your prophets didn’t speak for God it is heartening to know that you realize it too.
That is a weird conclusion to reach from what I had said.
 
So you DO believe that, you just disagreed with the connotation we used…?

In most circles, that’s called lying.
Are you saying that knowingly perpetuating a false connotation of what LDS believe is telling the truth?
Your religion should never embarrass you to the point of you having to deny it to continue appearing sane.
I’m not embarrassed by the LDS teachings. I just don’t like to hear it mis-represented for the purpose of making it sound foolish.
 
It was absolutely truthful. I have never been it taught in church “that I would have my own planet.”
Sophistry doesn’t make a lie, true.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” (Gen. 1;26)
So, why is it blaphemy to believe we can become like God?
There is ONE God. ONE. The image of God does not make you, GOD.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
Like God. This passage is speaking of our state at resurrection. Immortality is an attribute of God. It says nothing about you being GOD. Let alone “eternal increase” and ruling over planets.

Yes, that is why Smith came up with section 132, he wanted to practice polygamy too.
 
If you want to understand Truth, the assumption you need to make is: ditch the false scripture.
What you call false scripture is what I know to be the truth.

There is nothing wrong with polygamy. It has been practiced in Africa, the Orient, and Middle East for centuries. Jews and Muslims have been practising it in their religions for centuries. Even the early Christians used to practise it. Paul advises that a bishop should be “the husband of one wife”. Why would he say that, if the possibility didn’t exist for him to be the husband of more than one wife? If a Christian couldn’t have had more than one wife, why would he need to give them that advice? Was he thinking that they might appoint a heathen to be their bishop?

We do not have to misrepresent LDS teaching to make it sound foolish.

Your prophets and all the wishy washy changing and odd stuff makes it sound foolish enough all by itself

lol…that is like saying "there is nothing wrong with murder, people have been doing it for centuries.
 
I am here to explain to people what Mormonism actually teaches on its own terms;

Not true. You are here to try to deceive people into believing what you WANT people to believe is the LDS teachings. We have proven you wrong on every point to the point you are horribly afraid of me
 
No. I was thinking about how he posts (his style seemed very familiar but I couldn’t place it), and it clicked. Mathonihah and Zerinus both posted at Mormon Dialogue and Discussion Board, both were banned, and others also thought they were the same person as well (google there names together).
BINGO! I was telling someone yesterday that Math was someone we know, but had not figured it out yet. The posting style was very familiar
 
It was absolutely truthful. I have never been it taught in church “that I would have my own planet.”

And that is exactly my problem with Mormons…the huge majority of you have no clue what your Church actually teaches and has taught
 
I know I was at MDB, and I know I was banned, and I know I was accused (by one poster, perhaps you) of being “zerinus," whatever that is. Is there anything else you would like to addd to that?
Nope…once we know the truth about your deception, there is not much else to add

HELLO! And why do you think he would mention it? HELLO! Because it is IMMORAL. It is existence does not make it morally correct.

You have an obsession with contradicting me. Whatever I say, you are going to say the opposite. If I say the sky is blue, you are going to say it is pink! If I say rain comes down, you are going to say it goes up! That is why I am not replying to your posts any more, because there is no discussion. You are going to say the opposite of what I say, right or wrong, good or bad, anyway.

Now you have started picking up on LW7’s accusations against me, and repeating them. I would inform you that that is against the rules. You are breaking board rules by doing that. My advice to you would be to refrain from breaking the rules. If you have a complaint to make, I suggest you make it to the forum admin, not post it on the boards.

I would also advise you that you do look awfully silly contradicting mindlessly everything I say. I say it for your own good. If you really want to look silly, it is no skin off my nose. But you do look awfully silly doing that.
