THE TRINITY~
Believes the three Persons of the Godhead are one, yet distinct--with each being coequally and coeternally God.

JESUS CHRIST~
Believes He is God. Believes John 1:1 should be translated, "The Word was God." Believes in the bodily resurrection of Christ after three days in the grave.

HOLY SPIRIT~
Believes He is not only a person but also God, the third Person of the Trinity.


Jeanie: Please explain how you see the three personages of the trinity as being distinct. I know Jesus is the word....and agree they are coeternally coequal. But believing they are separate beings does not lessen that. They are one in purpose. The Godhead. Seriously....this sounds contradicting to me if you don't believe they are separate. How can you say Jesus was God's only begotten son without believing Jesus was GOD's only begotten son? I really don't understand how you make sense of that. You are saying they are all the same. They are all Gods....The Holy Ghost, though part of the Godhead, though, is without form. God and Jesus Christ both have bodies! God the Father is immortal and Jesus Christ is now as well after He resurrected Himself!!!

Abishag, I'm sorry. Like I told Russ, I know you've meant well....but it has gotten to the offensive point with me because my faith is so personal and IMPORTANT to me. To have it belittled or told it is less than it is is highly insulting to me. Highly. And you could not be more wrong. Just because people have variances with how you may see things does not give you the right to condemn. I don't agree with you either, but you don't see me posting comments all the time. I know what got you going a while back (I assume) was me stating the Bible has been changed over the years to Pwcca. It HAS been changed. I go strictly by the KJV and even that has been reinterpreted many times. Even most on here use a simplified already interpreted form of that. I BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE. But yes, I do believe there is more out there which is also scripture. Most other faiths use the end of the book of Revelations to back up their belief that the Bible should not be added to, but Revelations was written before some of John's other books. He was referring strictly to the Book of Revelations. It just happened to be placed as the last book of the Bible....of cannonized scripture.

Russ, the only reason you don't accept the Book of Mormon is cause it doesn't hold up to numerology? What kind of logic is that? You're afraid to pray about it because, like SS actually believes, you think satan will swoop down like an angel and deceive you? Yet you believe yourself that because some lady showed up and led you to the Church of Christ (or which ever one it was) that she was an angel leading you? (Yet now you denounce it as untrue, too). The Lord Jesus Christ has restored His church, again, on this earth....with the AUTHORITY and keys to the Priesthood again. It would do you well to start treating churches that bear His name with respect. It is HIS CHURCH. If you want to continue arguing and spewing your spit on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, then unsubscribe me right now. I will not stand for it another minute.
