I disagree with him saying that Mormons worship the same Jesus. I don’t think that he would say that they truly “worship” Jesus, either, given that they don’t eat Jesus in the Eucharist (representing something more like Dulia than Latria).

This country survived the Biden administration.
This is seriously the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time.

It would be funny to me if this is a Calvinist church.
I convince my friend to give church one more try, and he gets greeted by a sea of puppets singing children’s songs like a cult with a craft budget.

I think Golden State was a nice blend of inside and outside offense. The NBA has shifted too far to outside shooting, IMO, which is why there have been so many big leads that have been blown (hot 3-pt shooting provides big leads, but also loses leads when % regresses to the mean)

Outside of being probably the greatest team of all time in 2017 - this team executed at the end of games better than any team I ever seen. That go ahead 3 possession was amazing to watch live.

This means they’re not better. Experience is a less tangible attribute, but it’s an attribute nonetheless.
Spurs the better team but boy being Young and Dumb has kicked them in the ass this entire series yeeeesh

It’s probably a way to keep the confidence high against insurmountable odds. Although, losing a 29 point lead arguably is the result of underestimating your opponent (the LA Rams losing to the Seahawks as an example)
Their refusal to give the Knicks any credit whatsoever for any of their wins is truly youthful arrogance at its finest

I don’t understand this guy. He popped up in my feed yesterday. He’s a Catholic. (Roman Catholic?) that seems to defend Mormon doctrine in every post I’ve seen.
I propose that in order to be considered a Christian, you have to pass a theology test. Because half the people on here saying “Mormons aren't Christian” can't explain the trinity. And nearly every LDS member I've talked to can.

A God that “doesn’t try and fail” doesn’t even try to save the reprobate. This means He has no desire to save them. And the idea of a well-meant gospel offer is a fiction.

So God is a victim of His desires, His desires are thwarted and overcome every day by thousands upon thousands of sinful creatures dying in sin?

God loves the mockers and wants them to be saved.
2 Peter 3 is not about God wishing every human would repent. It’s a covenant‑architecture chapter. Peter contrasts two orders: the Adamic world reserved for fire, and the eschatological kingdom that remains. The mockers deny the coming judgment, but their denial is part of the very pattern the prophets spoke of. The same prophetic witness that announced the Flood announced the final fire. The world that began with Adam will end under the sanctions of the covenant he broke. The “delay” isn’t divine indecision. It’s patience toward you—the covenant people. God is not waiting for the mockers; they will perish. He is waiting until the full number of His people is gathered. Not one elect person will be missing when the Adamic world is dissolved. When Peter says the heavens will pass away and the elements will melt, he’s describing covenantal de‑creation—the final adjudication of the Adamic order. The fire is not aimed at the church. The church is not inside the lawsuit. The fire consumes the world of Adam; the church belongs to the world of Christ. That’s why 3:11 isn’t moralism. It’s eschatological relocation. Since this world is being dissolved, what sort of people must you exist as? Not people trying to avoid judgment, but people who already belong to the everlasting kingdom that replaces the old order. We wait for the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells—not as those hoping to survive the fire, but as those whose life is anchored beyond it. The mockers perish; the Adamic world dissolves; the church inherits the kingdom. Peter’s point is simple: the prophets announced the Day, the Lord commanded through the apostles, the mockers deny it, the world will burn, and the church lives now as citizens of the world that will remain. #2Peter3 #CovenantArchitecture #AdamicJudgment #DayOfTheLord #PropheticWitness #ApostolicCommand #EschatologicalKingdom #NewCreation

Because it’s become a topic again, here’s Calvin’s commentary on 2 Peter 3:9 (Calvin was more moderate in his commentaries than he was in the Institutes)

Moses asked to see God's glory. There's no indication that God enabled Moses to ask to see His glory because Moses' will was in bondage to sin.

God can bring about every human good via providence/compatibilistic determinism except for faith. Faith requires a special miracle of pre-faith regeneration. This isn’t a person that merely has a moral bent toward unbelief.
The Calvinists are acting non-Calvinistic again. Calvin called the effects of original sin a “fearful vengeance,” and it is much more than a moral bent per the WCF

I was trolling here. Calvinists also affirm that one can’t. It just depends on what is important to defend in the moment: culpability for sin or total inability.

Christians worship a triune God and reject the existence of other actual gods, therefore Mormons are not Christian. If they worship Jesus only, or Heavenly Father only, they are failing to worship a member of the Godhead.
Dear creedists. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are not polytheists, we are Monolatrists as Jesus Christ was. "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"- John 10:34 I hope this helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monola…

This is equivalent to saying that poisonous water is per se good because the water molecules (the substance) doesn’t change. Calvin said that man is born corrupted with the contagion of sin and is odious to God— and this is the result of a fearful vengeance on God’s part.

This goes much further than a rejection of Divine Simplicity for Mormons, it seems to me.

You keep repeating that Latter-day Saints worship a "different God," but that conclusion simply assumes that your Thomistic definition of God is correct. You haven't demonstrated it. Compare these two... The God of Abraham speaks. He acts. He loves. He grieves. He enters covenants. He responds to prayer. Your God is an absolutely simple, timeless, immutable essence whose knowledge, power, justice, mercy, and love are all literally identical. In Thomism, God doesn't merely have attributes - God IS those attributes. Justice is mercy. Mercy is power. Power is knowledge. At some point you've philosophized the God of the Bible into an abstraction. Then you claim Mormonism cannot explain existence because eternal matter cannot explain itself. Why not? You allow God to be self-existent. You allow God to be a brute fact. You allow God to require no further explanation. But the moment a Latter-day Saint says some aspects of reality are eternal, suddenly you're demanding an explanation beyond the ultimate explanation.😂 The truth is that your worldview also bottoms out in something unexplained. You stop with "Pure Act" or "Being Itself." We stop with an eternal reality inhabited and governed by God. Neither view escapes having an ultimate stopping point. And your appeal to "God as the very act of being" doesn't actually explain why anything exists. It simply labels the mystery. Saying "God is Existence Itself" sounds profound until someone asks the obvious question: Why does Existence Itself exist? At that point, the Thomist does exactly what everyone else does - he declares his preferred stopping point necessary and refuses to go further. MOST IMPORTANTLY... You haven't shown that creation ex nihilo is biblical. Genesis does not teach it. The Hebrew text does not require it. The earliest biblical authors never stop to explain this supposedly foundational doctrine. Instead, what we repeatedly see is God bringing order from chaos, not absolute nothingness. So the argument ultimately reduces to this... "Thomas Aquinas defined God one way. Mormonism defines God differently. Therefore Mormonism is false." 😂 That is not an argument. It is a declaration of loyalty to a particular metaphysical tradition. You are free to prefer Thomism. What you have not done is prove that the God of Thomism is the God of the Bible, that creation ex nihilo is required by reason, or that an eternal reality is somehow less intelligible than a timeless, absolutely simple being whose essence is allegedly identical to existence itself.

Was Joseph Smith a false prophet for a revelation saying that Zion was going to be in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri?
