you're saying...yes, you believe in multiple gods,

Yes........does not the Bible suggest likewise? Look at PS
82:6......
I have said, ye are gods;
and all of you are children of the most High.
.......Now,
most Protestants will claim that the term god was not used correctly
here---that it really means judges (vs 1). However, IF that were
accurate, what logic would prevail for Jesus to use vs 6 as a
defense........
Jesus answered
them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?
...........against those who sought to incriminate
him as making himself as God (Jn 10:33).
So, yes....I
believe the Bible supports that there are multiple Gods, but because of the
propensity of the Israelites to forget the God who brought them salvation,
the emphasis was put on their worship of ONE
GOD.
but
you only worship only ONE God?
DAVEH:
Yes....Our Heavenly Father.
Or
LDS believe in multiple gods and YOU personally only worship/believe in
one?
DAVEH:
I/we accept there are many, but I/we worship only
one.
Do
you think the Trinity doctrine is worshipping three Gods?
DAVEH:
No....not necessarily. I think the T-Doctrine obfuscates the nature of
God so that those who accept the T-Doctrine really don't understand what
they do worship.
For instance.....I believe Jesus has a body
of flesh and bones, which the Bible proclaims emphatically. Yet I
can't tell you how many times I've found Protestants find it hard to accept
that fact. I believe it is because they've become steeped in the
T-Doctrine suggestion that God is everywhere, but nowhere and is only in
spirit form.
When you think of Jesus, Kay, do you think
of him as a living being consisting of a spirit clothed with flesh and
bone? Do you think that characterization compliments the T-Doctrine,
or is it in conflict with it?

I did was read the definition. As Christian is defined, lots of
denominations would be included.
Are
you saying that Dave believes in multiple gods?
DAVEH:
Yes...... but I believe we are only to worship one God. IMHO the Bible
supports my belief, but a lot of folks have gotten sidetracked by the
T-Doctrine.

Woops...that
was me, Dave, not Slade. I forgot to sign it.
I
would say LDS folks fall under the Christian category.

Kay,
I find it amazing that you believe that a believer in multiple gods is a
Christian. How do you figure? izzy
