If you're the same species as God, prove it. Make a bunny.

A fair challenge for LDS. If you are the same species as deity, where's the beef?

You cannot even comprehend discussion board formatting! And you claim to be the same species as Almighty God?

And show me where the Bible teaches that you are the offspring of heavenly parents! Your claim is blasphemous, and you make no effort to understand the figurative language Paul uses in Acts 17 when he repeats the words of a Greek poet in his conversation!

In Galatians 3:29, Paul also states that we are the offspring of Abraham. But you are not literally the offspring of Abraham, are you?

Christians are the children of God....by adoption! Read Romans 8.

If everyone were a child of God by nature, why would God insist that we "become" children of God?

John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name

I have news for you dberrie: God is your Creator (not your procreator); and you are a product of His creation (a creature), just like the rest of humanity. God is the Potter, and we are mere clay. The clay is not the offspring of the Potter; neither does the clay become the Potter! You are not the same species as God.

You are simply enamored with false teachings. Under your present belief system, God says you are of your father, the devil! because you deny His Word.

Repent!

Remember that there is but One God, and you are not He. His Word thunders across the eons of history, as it has always done:

Isa 43:10
In order that you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.

Tatian doesn't miss a beat.

HOOAH!!

LDS Afterlife God Training School Teacher: Okay, dberrie2000, create a bunny. Use the laptop to download the creation 101 instructions. Press any key to continue.

dberrie2000: Where's the "any" key?

Yeah, it reminds me of the joke:

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. They picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened patiently to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well! How about this? Let's have a man-making contest."

The man replied, "Okay, great!"

But God added, "Now we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem." He bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. Go get your own dirt!"
