That must have been one good looking Mormon woman for you to change Gods....



I didn't change gods. Why would you even think that let alone say it?

Hello,

Some Christians believe that Jesus IS God. They believe that God divided himself, made the newly formed division into a human baby, and lived as a human being. Then, upon dying, this division was re-absorbed into the original whole.

Some Christians believe that Jesus was a prophet. A wise prophet chosen by God to carry his word to the people. They believe that he carries a special place in the prophet lineup, and that he will have an important part of the next world.

Some Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God. A separate entity from God, he was created to be the perfect man, to experience the life of men, and to be persecuted by men. In his death, by forgiving mankind, he enabled God to likewise forgive mankind.

Some Christians believe that Jesus is the last prophet given to us before the end times. Some Christians believe that prophets came after Jesus. Some Christians believe that Jesus showed each of us how to be our own prophet.

Some Christians believe that you can talk to God directly. Some Christians believe that you can only talk to God through Jesus. Some Christians believe that you need a Saint to carry your message to God and to intercede on your behalf.

Christianity is the Baskin Robbins of religion. There are at least Thrity-Onederful flavors. Mormons are one such flavor.

Yep, that sounds more of the Catholic fate. The Holy Trinity and all.

Me, believe me there was a time in my life when that belief came in handy.

*snort* Thank God I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.


And Sig some of us care, and some don't, but that's alright, variety is the spice of life, otherwise it'd be bland and boiled and boring.

I do talk to God directly, but I always close my prayers by saying that what I said was through my friend, lord, and savior Jesus Christ.

Since there are so many flavors, can you please tell me the names of just a few recognized Christian churches/denominations that believe what you describe? I haven't heard of them and I'm curious.

Recognized by whom, Succatash? That might influence the size of the list.

I guess I'm just wondering what church/denomination you are talking about after each "Some Christians..." above.
