And it's the definition of "Biblical God" that is undefined wherein you assume your definition is correct, and mine is wrong.
Circular reasoning.
You want mormonism to be considered complimentary to the Bible
In Biblical Theology, all scripture and doctrine must agree with previous revelation with
no contradiction!
The
Hebrew Imperfect grammar in Exodus 3:14 establishes the theology and doctrine of God, and the
Greek Imperfect grammar in John 1:1 complements and supports the theology of the Biblical God, this is why Jesus says in John 8:58, "
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
The mormon definition and doctrine of god comes
3000 years later from Joseph Smith and the King Follett discourse and is
contradictory, therefore it is heretical and a lie
You are the one who is a assuming and assuming wrong
The Biblical God is the Living God and the mormon god doesn't exist!
Sounds like the Pharisees making the same argument of Jesus proclaiming blaspheme by claiming he was the Son of God. We're all so certain, until we're not. Jews also believe in Exodus 3:14, and yet they believe in a different God than you do. How do you know you're right and their wrong. That's more of a rhetorical question. Hopefully you can get the point of how our ego plays tricks on us.
You don't know your Bible and you don't know the belief of the Jews!
The Jews believed in the Biblical God, they just didn't know Him personally, they attempted to acquire God's acceptance and righteousness through the law, have you not read Romans 9?
Romans 9:30-33
30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;
31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at
that law.
32 Why? Because
they did not
pursue it by faith, but as though
it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY in ZION A STONE of STUMBLING and a rock of offense, AND HE WHO BELIEVES in HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
The Jews rejected Jesus' claim that He was the God of Exodus 3:14
But if the Bible text is so obvious, and they made fools of themselves. How do you know you're not making a fool of yourself right now?
Is it more important to argue who God is, or simply be the way we know we should be by being charitable? (1 Cor. 13)
Because the Biblical God has proven Himself and His Word true through fulfilled prophecy!
Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon are completely bankrupt, no historical, nor archaeological evidence and certainly no fulfilled prophecy!
I already have. The Book of Mormon gives its own criteria, and fulfilled it.
The Bible gives three sources of identifying truth and gaining knowledge: 1) scripture [2 Tim 3:16] , 2) the Church [Eph. 4:11-13], and 3) the Holy Ghost [John 14:26]
In John 17:17, Jesus said, "
Sanctify them in Truth, Your Word is Truth," which is a reference to the OT Scriptures as being the foundation of truth, to which mormon doctrine is in contradiction with and therefore, heresy
Why didn't you continue with the Ephesians 4 Scriptures?
Ephesians 4:14, "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; (
Paul again describes and warns about people like, Joseph Smith and mormons)
Ironically, 2 verses later, Paul declares this gospel was taught by revelation and not by men:
Galatians 1:
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
It's this "revelation" that I am defending, and you are condemning. So you tell me, between the two of us, who's preaching the contrary gospel than the one Paul declared?
You are quoting the Bible in an attempt to defend mormonism
The revelation mormonism claims is contradictory to the OT Scriptures and what Jesus said was truth in John 17:17, therefore, your mormonism is heresy and a lie!
And your rhetoric is beginning to look a lot like what Paul warned about in Ephesians 4:14
How? Go ahead and defend that statement. Let's see if you even know what you're talking about, or if you're simply parroting anti-mormon rhetoric. What is the mormon gospel, how is it contrary to the Biblical gospel?
The 13 Articles of faith as outlined by Joseph Smith, and #4 in particular contain the basic core principles of the gospel and the plan of salvation for the Mormon Church
All 13 Mormon Articles of faith are unbiblical based upon the Mormon definition of God that is contradictory to Exodus 3:14 and John 1:1
The mormon gospel is contrary to the Biblical Gospel first and foremost on the doctrine and theology of God and Jesus Christ!
Yeah, I highly doubt any reasonable mind can consider the Law of Chastity of what we teach is "licentiousness". But it would be interesting to see you defend that claim.
Joseph Smith really modeled and provided a great example of Biblical morality didn't' he?
Projection. How do you know my relationship with God?
You are a mormon, so I know that you do not know the Biblical Jesus personally! (Matthew 7:21-23)
I dare say, you don't know Mormonism as well as you think you do.
Really, tell me the origin and basis for the mormon temple and its symbolism and handshakes?
Is it OT Biblical Scriptures, or is it paganism and masonry?
