Sorry, but such reconcilliation is totally impossible. There CAN BE NO OTHER GODS and OTHER GODS at the same time.

Just in case Jim was wondering....
I decided that a few of Jim's posts did seem to me to need to be reviewed, as I believed that we should always try to encourage people to post more, and not keep asking people to go away all the time.
I mean Jim can sure post the stuff the way he wants, but its just that I sure dont want to have to listen to the same guy always asking anyone who dared to disagree with him to go away
He even told me to go away after we disagreed on some type of minor point on the book of Genesis.
It got to the point where people were being told to go away when there was really so very few posters here anyway one has to ask who would be left here to talk to?.........
and so, I believe some of his posts were reviewed......
Im not sure of how that ended? , (well except for later I noticed the word "BANNED"appeared under his name)

[QUOTE=Phoenix;168677]have you seen God?? that other poster sneeringly seemed to imply that you can't know something unless you've seen it.
you think that posters statement is false??[/QUOTE
Yes, I have seen God IN HIS HANDIWORK. I have seen my sons when they were newborns. I have seen a flower, and I have seen lives changed in ways no HUMAN could have made it happen.
Do I think that poster's statement is false?? I have no idea. . .I haven't READ it, don't know what he/she said, OR the context in which it was said.
Just because YOU jump to strange conclusions does not mean I should.
But then, you are a mormon. . .. . .aren't you? Such poor reasoning skills seem to come with that territory.
Mormons believe we are eternal in nature. Because God knows all and all are present to Him, if we have ever existed, we have always existed in some form to him.
But strange you should criticize us for believing that God will exalt us...
1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

[QUOTE=Christian;168914]you have seen God, you say? and God looks like a newborn and a flower ?
So then you don't believe that god is invisible, and it's impossible for anyone to see him?
um, just because you worship and pray to something that looks like a flower, does not mean I should.Just because YOU jump to strange conclusions does not mean I should.
praying to flowers seems weird.

From the Book of Abraham, Chapter 4 (highlighting mine):
1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth, after it was formed, was empty and desolate, because they had not formed anything but the earth; and darkness reigned upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of the Gods was brooding upon the face of the waters.
3 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light.
4 And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness.
5 And the Gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night. And it came to p*** that from the evening until morning they called night; and from the morning until the evening they called day; and this was the first, or the beginning, of that which they called day and night.
6 And the Gods also said: Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall divide the waters from the waters.
7 And the Gods ordered the expanse, so that it divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so, even as they ordered.
8 And the Gods called the expanse, Heaven. And it came to p*** that it was from evening until morning that they called night; and it came to p*** that it was from morning until evening that they called day; and this was the second time that they called night and day.
9 And the Gods ordered, saying: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the earth come up dry; and it was so as they ordered;
THE TRUTH REMAINS that there is only ONE REAL GOD EXTANT ANYWHERE according to the Bible (Isaiah 43:10, 44:9 etc etc etc) .
THE TRUTH remains that your mormon godlets are FALSE gods. . .making the religion that follows them a FALSE RELIGION..

Yes, I have seen God IN HIS HANDIWORK. I have seen my sons when they were newborns. I have seen a flower, and I have seen lives changed in ways no HUMAN could have made it happen.
If you have kids and have not 'seen God' in them at their birth, and if you 'have not seen God' in the lives of people HE HAS CHANGED, I pity you.
Do I do your imaginary 'worshiping or praying to something that looks like a flower' Of course not! I HOPE you are not stupid enough to think I said I did. You DO seem to have a sad 'logic-impairment' however. . .
And I pity for you, and pray for your soul.

But on this, we can agree--we can see the nature of God all around us, who He is through His creations. God, who is all powerful, designed the family, man and woman to be one flesh. He designed that we procreate--that his creations in turn create.
So interesting then, that with this "seeing" that you say you see of God, that you would criticize me for believing in eternal marriage when God designed it. But have you ever asked yourself why God would create you, teach you to marry, command us to have children, and then sacrifice his Son to save and resurrect you--would then do the two most ungodly things of divorcing you and sterilizing your now perfected body? When did God ever become a God that divides and stops the creative process?

You cannot physically see God; HE IS invisible (the Bible that you don't believe says so). YOU CAN SEE HIS WORKS (which is what I was talking about so simply that even a moron could understand it.
Your little 'word games simply don't work, 'big.'

'But joe smith said he saw Jesus, no he saw angels, no he saw the Father (invisible God) and his son 'jesus' physically in a 'clearing' in the woods. WHICH first vision story is the TRUTH? He doesn't seem to be able to remember his made-up stories straight!
So interesting then, that with this "seeing" that you say you see of God, that you would criticize me for believing in eternal marriage when God designed it.
Except the REAL GOD did NOT design it; joey smith made that junk up.

On the Sabbath. On the Cross. THE BIBLE SAYS:
1 Cor 7:39
39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
Matt 22:25-30
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
NKJV
Let's see now. . .the woman is no longer married to her first husband after he dies; she can remarry and not sin. And there are no marriages or married folks in heaven but all are LIKE ANGELS (there is NOT ONE "mr angel' or 'mrs angel' in the Bible ANYWHERE!
And Joey smith's made-up junk falls back into the toilet with the rest of his stuff. . .
This Bible?
Luke 24:39---King James Version (KJV)
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
So--you don't believe Jesus Christ is God?
Is God a resurrected man of flesh and bones?
The answer is:This Bible?
Luke 24:39---King James Version (KJV)
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
So--you don't believe Jesus Christ is God?
Is God a resurrected man of flesh and bones?
Jesus is both fully God,,,,therefore pure spirit , thus totally invisible, and fully human, thus flesh.
In his nature as God, he is pure spirit and therefore the equal of the father.
In his nature as human, he is flesh and has a body and all that come with the normal human being..
So having two totally different natures in the one person means that While we can say "Jesus is God" we should not confuse this to mean that the Father has a body of flesh, for that is not the teaching of the Bible...

The FATHER is not. NEITHER is the Holy Spirit. The SON of God IS. And yes, HE IS GOD TOO.
But Jesus is NOT a 'spirit-brother' of the demon satan as YOUR 'jesus' is.
oh....and there is a reason Smith never let anyone else see the plates....there is a good reason...
They were fake.
