no because they are unbiblical, they do not follow the doctrine of the Bible, as like I said, if he appeared again in the flesh, then why did nothing that was prophesized to happen with that ever happen?
if he appeared again for a second time we should all be raptured, no?
I want to change my picture but it's not letting me do that
What's the argument here
mormonism
The Bible is all about faith also. Can't prove anything in the Bible is true
idfk read
That is untrue lemi
We can demonstrate a lot of the things in the bible
i.e that Jesus is the messiah
No claims can be proven at all?
Or literally anything else lol
Even minor things?
The second coming is not just about him arriving. He arrives all the time. The second coming is an event
Like we discovered King Uzziahs grave
You misunderstand what the second coming is
That's something
In the second coming he shows himself to all people as the savior and the Christ
It is just labeled the second coming. That doesn't mean that he didn't come before the first coming
So what you're saying doesn't make sense does it
We don't have anything called the first coming
@moira now, you want my personal opinion on the works brought forth by Joseph Smith Jun?
I find the whole thing, highly compelling.
For example, last week I was hanging up in manitou springs, local art Mecca, and I spent the night lounging in the Matè Yerba factory, a quant deli ran by a religious group calling themselves The Twelve Tribes. My friend, Nadiv, works the graveyard shift. I kept to myself in the corner with a copy of Doctrine and Covenants as well as one of those "pocket Bibles" which is New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs tacked on the back.
It really wasn't a busy night so my friend would occasionally drop some scripture references to me. No lie, I am in awe and respect for his skill to know do many biblical verses from memory. Matter of fact, he's probably the only person I know outside the LDS faith who can spit references with such acrument. Point being, everything he said, everything he referenced, harkened back to what I was thumbing though in the D&C . it's as if they nothing short of reaffirm everything each other says. The Bible and the Doctrine and Covenants.
I wish I could tell you more. But alas, I've got to get going for me evening class.
God be with you until we meet again.
@lemiwinks how so, I believe that Jesus has not appeared in human form since he rose to heaven again, yes he may appear through the Holy Spirit, but he never does so in human form.
if he just appears in human form again and again then the idea of the Holy Spirit is redundant
Well you're welcome to believe that
I believe that Jesus is not silent
I believe that Jesus is personally involved in his gospel
Lux weren't you an atheist like 2 days ago
Jesus has always been personally involved
Im a agnostic
an*
ok
I respect you saying that you're agnostic
So many people pretend to be atheists
Those people tend to be very annoying
You are interested and having a real discussion
That's good
i just dont believe that Jesus does appear in the flesh
Why not ?
because that would go against the prophecies
