We can become part of the Godhood, in a sense yes. Exaltation, is what we call it. Yes, there is eternal progress. In a spiritual sense, it's similar to how Richard Mattheson's detailing within the novel, What Dreams May Come. Now, I've talked recently with a Bible scholar who claims there's no Paradise in the afterlife, only death and resurrection (nothing between). Such is not LDS dogma, but FYI, it's given me more to think about than your Spanish Inquisition. . . you've got time for one more question, then I'm walking.
Humans cannot become part of the GodHead, Trinity
That's not a question, it's an understatement. On whose behalf, I'll explain later. Do ask one more question.
Right.
I'm standing out front of the Colorado Christian Fellowship complex, just up the road from the local YMCA. I hereby testify the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is true...ly despised by the Catholics because they vainly consider their cathedrals to be on par with our stake buildings (honestly, there should not be any competition) yet they are also intimidated by our temples, indeed they are holier than thou Vatican.
@Maksim if you remove this post, then you owe me twenty so I can get a haircut next door.
Now, with this dark glass in my right hand, I stand at the corner by the cross of the True Spirit Baptist Church. Again I write in respect, the fact remains, Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, the very God of exodus. Yea and he was martyred for his conviction, for humanity still makes blood sacrifices. They should not for Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Yea and I say this with the ultimate sin of a man from greater doom. Yet such a sorry story I couldn't further attest to with this weather encroaching. Onward I go.
@Gothik Extravaganza if he's a Prophet how could he disagree with the Prophet Adolf Hitler?
Christ was born in Godhood, it was not obtained.
@Deleted User in my years I've never heard of Hitler being a prophet. I know no gift of prophecy coming from that man. Yet, I as I was taking notes on 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, I heard the words spoken by elder Russell Nelson (retired heart surgeon & current president of the Church of Jesus Christ) echo the same sediment of departing from evil ways. Therefore Sir, I must refrain from further inquiries until I've done more research within gospel teachings. Do tell tho if Hitler made any similar revelations of the God we all adore.
I find it saddening, the numerous of men whom died for Hitler's reign. Though I can not envy the man for the ranks he held throughout the wars. Notwithstanding, he should've gone to the Nuremberg trials. For that, only God can judge him on. Joseph Smith Jun on the other hand, with his brother Hyrum and another man whom survived the onslaught from an unruly mob, was prepared to face any trial by his fellow men and only fled when his own doom was inevitable... Caught some shots in the back and fell out the window pain unto the flat earth more than a story below. Yet I digress from such notable acts of violence to fill my own head with something worth more than lead.

The Nuremberg trials were a Devil sham. Almost nobody got off without false "evidence". Literal Jews testicularly tortured the Christian government officials to force a confession of preplanning a genocide they supposedly committed but vehemently denied elsewise.
That is not my argument to disparage with.
You can look it up. The Jewish interrogators crushed the balls of most of these NATSOC State officials who claimed to be Christian before execution.
I am not disagreeing with your, your lordship.
I do contend tho, for whatever the worth, no country leader within the past two hundred years alone, have been called to the position of prophet. Brother Joseph was at his time, for the dispensation we all are still in, was a prophet, seer, revelator. Governor, militia leader, martyr & many, many more titles which us mere mortals shall argue about until his, Christ our king, comes to reign again. But until then...
"I am here due to a higher power, if I am necessary for anything. Leave aside that she is too cruel for me, the beatifying Church! I have never found pleasure in maltreating others, even if I know it isn't possible to stand your ground in the world without force. Life is only given to those who fight for it the hardest. It is the law of life: Defend yourself!
The time in which we live indicates the collapse of this idea. It can still take 100 or 200 years. I am sorry that, like Moses, I can only see the Promised Land from a distance.
We are growing into a sunny, really tolerant worldview: Man shall be able to develop his God-given talents. We must only prevent a new, even greater lie from arising: that of the Jewish-Bolshevist world. That's what I [must] destroy."
@Deleted User be those words of the fatherland's Fürher, I hereby raise my right hand and sustain heir Hitler to being a servant of God. Whereas I am merely a priest high a hundred years after, I cannot allot anymore power to him than what has already been agreed upon within his life. Therefore, I will not say he is on equal footing with George Albert Smith, who was the church president around that great and tragic time in our history. I go now to seek wisdom from said elder.
“I do not have an enemy that I know of, and there is no one in the world that I have any enmity towards. All men and all women are my Father’s children, and I have sought during my life to observe the wise direction of the Redeemer of mankind—to love my neighbor as myself. … You will never know how much I love you. I have not words to express it. And I want to feel that way toward every son and every daughter of my Heavenly Father.”
Chapter 2: “Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself”

Of course, this is what I get for trusting Google rather than looking up yearly numbers in the app.
@Deleted User if you could provide me the year Adolf said such kind words, I would gladly look to see who was presiding that year and fetch a quote from them as well.
27 February 1942
[In February 1940 President Grant suffered a stroke that impaired his speech and temporarily paralyzed the left side of his body. This did not prevent him from continuing in the work of the Lord. He worked a few hours each day, and he continued to give brief talks at general conferences for the next two years. On 6 April 1942 he delivered a general conference address for the last time. Thereafter, his talks were read by others. His final general conference address, read by Joseph Anderson on 6 April 1945, concluded with these words of testimony: ...]
Brothers and sisters whom read what I share, I sit here at the top of the stairs, alone in this level, save it for the still small voice of the holy spirit near, to once again testify. I read the quote as if hearing the sound of my own grandfather. Whom, ironically enough, was an English teacher in Burbank, California, during his formative years. I pray those reading such, would hear these words in their own heart as if kindly spoken by their own grandfather.
And if you've not a grandfather of your own to hear, this man has been kind enough to lend his credit to the role as all is well.

oh no no no
@Eoppa @Draško, I've got some questions on your interpretations of saints. Namely, how exactly do you, venerate them?
From an outsiders approach, it's often claimed, Catholics especially, worship saints as if they are deities.
I personally, do not think such is true, yet, again, with much reverence on this Sainted day, I would like some detailed clarification, please and thank you.
Saints don't exist.
we just dont worship them
we believe they are deified in Christ, however they dont actually have powers themselves. i usually just ask them to pray for us
Christians gay
Saints of Christianity are a bastardized version of order masters
these niggas...
I mean the bible is about as credible as a comic book lol
is christianity against abortion??
Yes
ok good
