God and I get along great, dfoJC, because I know to humble myself before him.
You, on the other hand, are a person pretty much like me except that you don't know as much about Mormonism as I do, so here I am the Teacher, or one of the Teachers, and you are here as a student, at best.
My goal here is to share the truth regarding my religion and beliefs, and I'd like you to get to the point where you can at least acknowledge what I believe whether or not you agree with me.
Actually, it's about at least a little bit more than that, or it should be.
The only good reason for you to come to this LDS/Mormon forum is to learn more about Mormonism from those who know what Mormonism is, which would be from those of us who are LDS/Mormons.
Others who are ex- or anti- LDSism/Mormonism are not correctly representing true LDS/Mormon teachings, even though they would like you to believe they are, and if you're only here to stir up trouble, so to speak, it is a big waste of my time for me to be here talking to you.
I already know what I believe, and my beliefs are not changing unless God changes his mind concerning what is actually true.
Do you understand that ?
God is the one who has told me that my beliefs concerning Mormonism are true, which is why I am a "Mormon", and you, dfoJC, can go take a flying leap from a tall building if you think YOU can change what God has told me.
Yes. Exactly. Nothing more, and nothing less.
I'm not trying to convince you of what YOU believe to be true. That would be silly.
I'm simply trying to share what I know to be true with you so that you can at least know what it is that I believe, whether or not you choose to agree.
I'm not going to argue with you about that, because I also believe God should be the one we all look to as we seek to find the truth.
If you want to know about Mormonism, though, with a desire to find out more about what "Mormons" really believe, well, that's what I'm here for.
You can always believe whatever you want.
I'm simply here to share what I believe and know to be true with other people because this is the LDS/Mormon forum on this site.
If you are here in this LDS/Mormon forum to share your beliefs with other people, I suggest you go back to your forum and wait for other people to come there to talk to you about your religion.
I'm not here to learn about your religion, unless it ADDS to my religion.
