Although Mormons are usually friendly, loving, and kind people, they are deceived by a false religion that distorts the nature of God, the Person of Jesus Christ, and the means of salvation.
Since all of these super intelligent you tube comments have made me self aware enough to know that typically most churches are false according to who posted the comment. I have hear by solved the problem by deciding to randomly go to a different church every Sunday for the rest of my life by just picking one blindfolded in the yellow pages every week. Thanks You Tube!!!!
Thank you for posting this beautiful performance. My youngest son was gearing up for a tantrum, so I quickly searched for this title and somewhat randomly picked this one. Within a minute he was completely calm and pleasant.
@gloinstrong you may disagree with our beliefs, but everyone has their own opinions. When they refer to eternal progression of Gods, we believe that we will become like God. Since there are a lot of people, we can conclude there will be many people who become like God.
Irony about Mormons singing about Jesus' birth, is that in the back of their minds, they think SATAN is the spirit brother of Jesus. The mormonism cult at its best.
@gloinstrong : Read your Bible. Satan, who is Lucifer, is a son of the morning who is fallen from heaven. Jesus is the Son of God. You do the math. Peace.
@gloinstrong I'm not Mormon, but I know for a fact that you are wrong. I don't know who you are, and I'm sure you're a good person, but that comment is insane. LDS means the Church of JESUS CHRIS of Latter Day Saints. They're Christians. I for one enjoy the beauty of this song and I hope you do too.
I am a Christian, not a Mormon, but this is what I say:
Love Wins. Stop this stupid and immature debate and love each other as creations of God. In a couple ways i agree with whyzitsotough, but not with their harsh comment about Christians being more important. Can we just enjoy this beautiful music that is worship? Love you both, but your actions are making me mad...
It saddens me that every time I listen to some great music, whether or not its christian music or not, I always see an argument about different religions and sects of religions. Just relax and listen to some great music.
No reason to be saddened. This is religious song, and was written for the glory of God. It is ment to express religious truth. In fact, Latin original, "Veni veni Emanuel" was written in 12th century, and is as Catholic as it can be (having strong Marian flavor). So it is kid of strange to hear it performed by Mormons, who surely do not believe in what the texts is saying.
@stbc2 We do believe in it we believe in almost all parts of the Catholic religion ( just a few exceptions mind you ) but we also have another book about Christ called the Book Of Mormon so named because it was him who compiled it all. You can sorta see it's true from a historic perspective the Nephites are the Mayans and the Lamanites are the Aztecs. ( my personal theory )
@wizzkid250 You are so correct. Really, this is just wonderful music and should be appreciated as such...keep the religious arguments for youtube videos on religious theories/thesis/opinions!
@tjsaxman9 Mormonism: 1a: A cult that tries to tag along with christianity in order to attain followers. 1b: Belief in Many Gods, and the possibility of becoming one.
@gloinstrong : The LDS church claims to be a restoration of the original christianity and has no desire to "tag along" with creedal christiantiy. LDS Mormons worship one God and one God only. The Bible contains multiple passages of scripture pointing to humanity's divine potential to inherit all that God has and to become like He is. Peace.
@rippinsteo I love how Mormons keep repeating they worship "1 God and 1 God only", that may be the case, but Joseph Smith and Bringham Young talked about an eternal progression of Gods. Many Gods. Mormonism is basically Polytheistic, no different than hinduism. LOL. WHERE THE BIBLE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BECOMING GOD?!?!??
@gloinstrong : LDS Mormons definitely worship only 1 God, God the Father, in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Scripture speaks of humanity's divine potential to inherit all that God has and to become like He is, not to become God. Per the Bible, ‘God said let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness…’ Study Ps 82:6; John 10:27-38; Heb 1:1-3; Ps 118:6; Matt 26:63-64; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 22:67-69; Mark 16:9-19; Acts 2:29-36; Acts 7:55-56; Rom. 8:31-34; Heb 12:9-10; 2 Pet 1:2-4; Rev 21:3-7
Mormons are not Christians. Mormons actually believe God use to be a man like us, and that people can descend and become God's themselves, Mormonism is a pretty disgusting cult.
@stuey33099 What's the pointing of even wasting your breath if your going to respond with "I don't think that they........". It's obvious you don't think. The Book of Mormon claims that GOD, use to be a man like us. Further on, Joseph Smith adds that we can become Gods like him. It's unbelievably ridiculous.
@gloinstrong : What's ridiculous is your ignorance of what is and is not in the Book of Mormon. And if you will read your Bible, there is plenty of scripture pointing to humanity's divine potential. Peace.
Everyone serves ONE god. He may go by different names,genders and maybe celebrated as many with single aspects of the ONE god. EVERYONE should be tolerant to other's beliefs. The one "human" who was perfect has died and now sits at the right hand of the father. He is the one to judge not us. Remember your place in this world.
hey watch out ! mormonism is a very sneaky and decieving cult and they are not biblicle christains the book of mormon is in direct conflict to the bible they are worshiping a faulse jesus and are leading many to there eternal damnation to hell. some of them are very nice but very well skamed out. check out way of the master mormonism that will show you more the teachings of joseph smith cant save only the finished work of jesus christ on the cross repent turn from sin and trust in christ alone
Now you know how the Jews feel about the Christians hijacking their (old testament) Bible! There is a minority of Christians in the Mormon religion, just as there is a minority of Christians in the Roman Catholic.
I was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christof Latter-Day Saints in june of 1999 and ever since, I have been more happier then i was. I respect other's beiefs; remember: HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD IS GO, THE LOD IS ONE, SHAOLM!
This was originally an all-instrumental arrangement (strings) by the Philadelphia Orchestra's 1962 recording "The Glorious Sound of Christmas." The Morman Tabernacle Choir has masterfully perfomed many of the Arthur Harris scorings for the Philadelphia Orchestra in adapting them from orchestral to vocal arrangements.
Why do you think so? It is an almost Latin hymn, with its "modern" Latin words perhaps established in the 12th Century...with the music or song maybe going back well before that ("Veni Veni Emmanuel").
@jonowev this is a christian song about the coming of jesus, it has very little to do with the modern israeli state (not to mention the mormon tabernacle choir is from Utah)
can people stop debating over if mary was, is, or is always a virgin and just except that she was an exceptional woman to take on the responsability to birth a child that did not belong to her husband. in those times she would have been killed. stop fighting over little details, Mary was the mother of Jesus, Jesus is the son of God and God is the almighty end of story point blank.
@xxcarnacionxx91 : thjere is no argument. the woman was a normal woman like every woman who had a romantic life. it is clear the woman was no virgin. u can read this in Mt 1:25. catholics have decided to invent the doctrine of celibacy as having to do with holiness which has no connection. d amazing thing about Jesus is that he was born the normal way and his mother mary is also a normal woman, so why dis so much claim about her being virgin forever, why shld she be a virgin forever?come on guys
@MyCHUKKY She wasn't a virgin forever Jesus had other Brothers and maybe sisters? we don;t know about them the bible or the book of mormon for some reason tell us about the woman there but not the names :P
I attend an Episcopal (high) Church...the LDS love for their Lord and their taking care of one another is stunning, I mentioned that to "Christians" and they agree.
Hey guys!! Let us not judge.....satan must be rubbing his hands to see all this discord! We should each be praying for discernment and love - not giving in to mud slinging. Does it matter if you are catholic or protestant? What is your core belief? Do you believe that Jesus is the son of God? Do you believe He died for our sins? Do you believe thathe rose again on the 3rd day? Lets focus on what our core beliefs are - lets not focus on what separates us.
can't everyone just leave it alone? seriously? if you hate it, don't watch it. if you love it, enjoy. differences between people is what's so beautiful about the human race.
In case you do not believe me, or it sounds crazy,sometimes the averge mormon does not know what the eldwrs believe. Simple google search on mormons and you will see it is a false religion and joseph smith a false prophet,look for yourself. Truth is more important than not hurting feeling. Sorry.
@MsGrouchyDog You are seriously going to believe what you see on google? Its the internet. Anyone can put whatever they want out there. And your going to believe it? I find that seriously disturbing that your going to trust something that anyone can alter. Try going out to look and read books for yourself instead of going to the internet.
@chiame11 You know the internet is a one of the best ways to find things out. People rarely make books anymore. The internet can be deceiving, but that's why you have to find the right ay to look things up.
@MsGrouchyDog Preach it!! BUT, they don't believe the alien thing, at least modern Mormons don't. I've watched documentaries and researched them. They believe in some crazy stuff though.
The song is lovely and m/ormons are nice people,but not true Christians.they believe God was an alien who became God by working his way up,and that when we die,we can become gods too. Maroni gave them this message Bible says even if an angel preaches a different gospel let him be accursed. Sorry..
As a Catholic, who was an Alter Server for many years, and was awarded the Ad Altare Dei by the Bishop of the Dioceses of Providence, I must say the hate in response to such a beautiful song is shocking and sickening we may disagree on theology but the talent and magnificences of this song cannot be argued. Mormons bow to the same LORD and God. Remember, they will know we are Christians by our love.
@Soverignlance Exactly what IS the Ad Altare Dei? AND, Mormons don't worship the same God Catholics do. Just like Catholics don't worship the same God we Pentecostal Apostolics do. Remember, the Bible speaks about false religions: 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.....
@Soverignlance ...Timothy 4:1-5 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.....
@Soverignlance....4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
@goofy456123 "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if its received with thanksgiving." I'm fairly certain what you are partaking in is a rejection. Furthermore, I'm fairly certain Pentecostal Apostolics came after Catholics, and Holy Mother Church having been well on its way to establishment when Timothy was written. Furthermore, if you don't believe in my God, who is the God of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and all mankind, then you must not be a Pentecostal.
@Soverignlance Pentecostals DID in fact come after Catholicism, but christianity came WAY before. Christians are followers of God and not anything else. They don't worship idols, give glory to anyone BUT God. And for that verse, it followed the verse before it which is only talking about that. People need to read MORE than just one verse to understand it. Don't get me wrong, I love the order of the Catholic church, just the way things are done don't go with the Bible.
@goofy456123 Actually, I was referencing the law of the Old Testament, it doesn't specifically reference vegetables.
As for giving glory to others, have you every heard of a Saint? How about the Virgin Mother? Or an Archangel? We pray for their intersession and divine aid. However, this is not the point of the discussion. You wrote a quote about bewaring religions that come after. By your arguments you should be realigning yourself with the Latin Rite.
We don't worship nor pray any of them. "No one comes to the Father but by Me." Words of Jesus, meaning, Don't go to anyone if you wana talk to God. You come to me. Mary was only a Virgin when she had Jesus, she didn't stay a virgin, therefore she's not Virgin Mary.
@goofy456123 A difference in theology. Mary was, and is a virgin. From her birth unto her coronation as the Queen of Heaven. Obviously if someone wanted to confer with God they would go to the Messiah, he is God. But once again you are avoiding the main issue that I previously noted. That the hate that is so prominent on the thread is truly un-Christian.
@Soverignlance Exactly WHERE in the Bible does it say she was CROWNED Queen of Heaven? You don't pray to saints for protection, they have no power. What hate? If I hated Catholics I wouldn't talk to my family. ;)
@Soverignlance Beautiful song, but you want to talk about hate, for a GOD who supposedly loves his children (us), he sure likes to see us suffer with all the tragic things that happen here on Earth, i have one daughter which i love very much BUT would never cause her harm, why doesn't GOD have that same love?..........
@lostinthemix hmm interesting, but I'm sure you would discipline her and reprimand her for her wrongdoings,
which I'm sure in her perspective seems harmful. I'm not suggesting that God always operates in this fashion, but Hebrews 12 suggests that God disciplines those children whom he loves.
Also Romans 8:18 emphasizes something about our suffering..
@lostinthemix So is your daughter never to leave the house? Will she never ride a bike? In all of these there is a risk but you aren't going to be there her whole life an prevent it. Eventually she's going to fall off that bike and scrape her knee. Who ever said God has caused harm?
@lostinthemix Do you have rules for your children? If a rule of yours is DO NOT PLAY IN THE ROAD because you have seen countless dogs etc die in the road while not paying attn so you made the rule stay in the yard and not in the traffic filled road, and your child runs out in such road - do you just say "I love you" and continue to allow them to do such? Or do you chastise them and punish them as a means of teaching them? Should GOD allow us to violate all HIS Laws that were for our betterment?
@lostinthemix Its because we're here to learn and grow and he can't always interfere with life sometimes he has to let bad things happen to good people and those who get in the way of the bad people get blessed.
@goofy456123 I will go further to reiterate my previous sentiment via the quote above: "Love thy enemies." The hate that is being promoted on this comment thread, in response to something that is so obviously beautiful is what is truly the Spirit, and the Son have warned us against.
Oh, and you never responded to the fact that ALL Semitic Religions actually worship the same God; albeit in different forms. Just sayin'.
@Soverignlance OUR enemies. those that have wronged us, brothers or sisters in Christ. NOT defiant stiff necked enemies of Christ. The Psalmist asked "Do not I hate them O Lord that Hate thee? Yeah I hate them with a PERFECT hatred..." There is a difference between our own personal hates and a righteous hate. Didn't GOD Himself say that He hated Esau and loved Jacob?
@folkandfaith So God preaches hate? Last I checked Christ though us to love our neighbor. Did not Augustine teach that we should use reason not only to rededicate ourselves to God, but evangelize others. Hate such as yours is clearly irrational. Furthermore, I would ask you, is not it also written (a bit more recently too): "Let he without sin cast the first stone."
@goofy456123 On another note I greatly enjoyed reading your use of certain Biblical Texts to support your position. Tell me, how is Kosher Law treating you? Obviously your literal interpretation of the Bible must mean that you follow that as well.
@Soverignlance You're referring to only eating veggies right? In the Bible I believe it was Paul who had the vision of being able to eat of any food, also meaning that not only Jews could be saved. We don't live in Mosaic Law anymore, Jesus came and broke religion, forming a relationship.
@Soverignlance I don't think you understand LDS theology very well. Joseph Smith taught that he had done more then any other man in history, incl. Yeshua the Christ. Smith taught many deities and that one could even become a deity of their own and that God in heaven had a beginning and was once a man, and that such had a father and a beginning etc etc ad infinity. They do not believe in the same GOD of the BIBLE nor do they rely on Christ alone for salvation.
@folkandfaith Actually, we Mormons do believe in the same God of the Bible. And The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also teaches that Joseph Smith did more than any other man except for Jesus Christ to bring to pass the progression of man.
@folkandfaith Yes we do we believe we can become LIKE god we teach that he did more than any man EXCEPT Jesus we do rely on him for our salvation and we do believe in the god of the Bible.
@Soverignlance Thanks to the good old Catholic for defending the Spirit of Goodness so evident in this beautiful and soul stirring song. You can almost feel the presence of the Angel of Music here. For some the music alone is proof of a benign Power in the world. I suspect the hate that shocked you is inspired by the hellish hate of the New Atheism-that has declared war on the very God it curses from pit of hell. The voice of the New Atheism is everywhere in the news- always blessing evil
@JadehavenAcademy wrote " we are christians and we do take " Love thy Neighbor " seriously." Sorry to disagree but Mormons ARE NOT Christians. Without belief in the Trinity and the Eucharist you are NOT Christians!
@scubawrestler I sometimes find myself singing "I'm a little teapot." Does that actually mean I'm a teapot? Dang, I didn't know that it worked like that. Mormons say they're Christian but Mormonism contradicts many of the doctrines that it takes to be a Christian. Google it. Boom.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mormons are not Christian, but a very strong Anti-Christ organization. Their history should be read by anyone before listening to what they have to say. They are a powerful instrument of the Satan himself, appearing in the form of angels. Whatout for them! I am so so so sorry so see that their songs are on Utube. Alas!
@JEMOELLA1 People lke you make me sick, thinking your beliefs are correct simply because you feel so wrapped and safe in them. I am not mormon, but i am however offended. I hope you burn in hell for your close minded ways.
@JEMOELLA1 I,ll have you know you idiot that mormons are christian you piece of human garbage, but i don't think you are a christian at all i believe you are a satan worshipper, you really make all christians sick.
@shevyshakess Actually, I didn't say I hate mormons now did I? I respect the fact that in America we have the freedom of religion. I simply do not agree with their choice of lifestyle/religion. And as we do have freedom of religion, we also have freedom of speech. I love even Islamic people. In our house we have an 18 year old living with us for he doesn't have a home. Is that not hospitality? Mormons simply do not know the whole God. You know "one, holy, CATHOLIC, and apostolic church"?
@missloganeurice Now, all I did was express my feelings. I never said I "hate" mormons, did I? I simply think that Mormons do not have the right choice of religion. In the bible it says, "and men shall leave their families and cleave to there WIFE" it didn't say wiVES.
@noglobwarm96 lol. i'm not even a mormon. i'm a catholic as well. i think you're missing the point. and about the whole wives subject, not all mormons believe in that. the majority of the religious people i went to school with were mormons, and they also believe that's a sin. there are sins in all religions. no one religion is right. God simply just wants us to believe in and worship Him and accept Jesus as our personal savior. christianity is being blown out of proportion, i think.
@noglobwarm96 for your information mormons do not have more than 1 wife it is illegal, you are thinking about the flds which is a breakoff of the lds church and theyh bedlieve in polygamy not the mormons get your facts straight before you open your unknowledgeable mouth.
@noglobwarm96 FOR THE LAST FREAKING TIME WE DON'T DO POLYGAMY ANYMORE! I'M SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT! THAT WAS FOR A SHORT TIME AND NOW ITS OVER! GOT IT?!?!?!?
@christimacc for your information there are minorities in the choir you must be blind ,also this choir is not paid , and they must know how to read music and must try out for the choir, and that that many minorities tryout but i know of at least 4 minorities in the mtc .
LOL! Wow, guess I hit a nerve, huh. I know there are minorities in the Mormon choir. It was a joke; a play off the mormon's historical view of black people. BTW, you do realize that the mormon faith was begun as a means of allowing white men to have all the sex they wanted right? *snicker*
The Mormon church views Jesus and Satan as spirit brothers and sons of God. God put forth His plan of salvation for the world - Satan proposed his own plan. Jesus accepted the Father's plan and offered to implement it as the Savior... crucified on a Roman cross, and rose from the dead three days later to establish His deity. ..The TRUE Church teaches that Jesus Christ has existed eternally as the Son of God, the second "person" of the Trinity..so much for their integrity.
@libsemik - I don't understand your comment, the Mormon church teaches that Jesus Christ has existed eternally as the Son of God, the second "person" of the Trinity.. the only difference is that your idea of the Trinity is One God manifested in 3 forms. The Mormon Church teaches that God the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct beings that form the Godhead. But your not really interested in this information as you just want to knock the Mormon Church.
@wiggstaa it would seem the mormons are uninterested in "truth"...Jesus Christ IS CO-ETERNAL with the Father & the Holy Ghost... Jesus said so...Jn 10:30 "I and the Father are one"... That is, one divine nature, but two distinct persons.
mormon teaching is flawed and to sing this song (in my opinion) lacks integrity in mormon belief
@libsemik It would be better to say that the Father and the Son, with the Holy Spirit, are one divine being, since separate entities can share the same nature.
@libsemik that is exactly what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints teaches, as well ♥ you might be surprised by how small the differences are between that religion's beliefs and your own, and how much sense those differences actually make :)
@erinwantstobesigned wrong...The Mormon church views Jesus and Satan as spirit brothers and sons of God. God put forth His plan of salvation for the world - Satan proposed his own plan. Jesus accepted the Father's plan and offered to implement it as the Savior...
@libsemik then i might be misunderstanding your post. are you saying that they are wrong in saying Jesus and Satan are brothers and sons of God, wrong in saying Satan proposed his own plan (to volunteer to be the Saviour, but to take all glory unto himself), and wrong in saying Jesus volunteered to be the Saviour and give all glory to God? or are you saying they are wrong in saying Jesus and Satan are brothers, and that the rest of it is the truth but not LDS doctrine?
@erinwantstobesigned Jesus is NOT equal to satan The Mormon church views Jesus and Satan as spirit brothers and sons of God...this is wrong Jesus is Co-Eternal with the Father & the Holy Ghost...this the mormons do not accept as doctrine
@libsemik LDS doctrine teaches that God created and is Father to ALL ~ including Satan. this makes Jesus & Satan brothers. it teaches that God loves all his creation equally ~ including Satan. this does not mean He condones the choices Satan has made. the LDS church teaches that God is much like an earthly parent who loves his wayward child but must practice tough love.
however, this is an entirely separate doctrine than the Jesus issue ~ what exactly do you mean by Co-Eternal?
@erinwantstobesigned Co-Eternal? ...Jn 8:58 Jesus said to them: "Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am" The Father, The Son & Holy Ghost are ONE...not three...Jesus IS GOD!...and another place in Jn 14:10 "Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?" The Father and The Son are ONE...from the beginning Co-Eternal!
@libsemik then we do differ :) the first Article of Faith in the LDS church states, "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." to us, this indicates Jesus' divine status and His eternal rightful place in the Godhead, but also differentiates between the separate entities of the Godhead.
thankfully, whether the LDS doctrine is correct or incorrect, God loves us all and wants us to love one another ~ that's the important part! ♥
@erinwantstobesigned ...yes we differ. we say "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary..." The Church asks of us two things...Orthodoxy & Obedience...right teaching and obedience to Her teaching...but the song is well done! Happy Thanksgiving!
this is gorgeous! just beautiful!

The Bible contains multiple passages of scripture pointing to humanity's divine potential to inherit all that God has and to become like He is. Peace.

@rippinsteo I love how Mormons keep repeating they worship "1 God and 1 God only", that may be the case, but Joseph Smith and Bringham Young talked about an eternal progression of Gods. Many Gods. Mormonism is basically Polytheistic, no different than hinduism. LOL. WHERE THE BIBLE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BECOMING GOD?!?!??

@gloinstrong : LDS Mormons definitely worship only 1 God, God the Father, in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Scripture speaks of humanity's divine potential to inherit all that God has and to become like He is, not to become God. Per the Bible, ‘God said let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness…’ Study Ps 82:6; John 10:27-38; Heb 1:1-3; Ps 118:6; Matt 26:63-64; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 22:67-69; Mark 16:9-19; Acts 2:29-36; Acts 7:55-56; Rom. 8:31-34; Heb 12:9-10; 2 Pet 1:2-4; Rev 21:3-7

As a Catholic, who was an Alter Server for many years, and was awarded the Ad Altare Dei by the Bishop of the Dioceses of Providence, I must say the hate in response to such a beautiful song is shocking and sickening we may disagree on theology but the talent and magnificences of this song cannot be argued. Mormons bow to the same LORD and God. Remember, they will know we are Christians by our love.
Soverignlance 1 year ago 35
@Soverignlance Exactly what IS the Ad Altare Dei? AND, Mormons don't worship the same God Catholics do. Just like Catholics don't worship the same God we Pentecostal Apostolics do. Remember, the Bible speaks about false religions: 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.....

@Soverignlance ...Timothy 4:1-5 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.....

@goofy456123 "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if its received with thanksgiving." I'm fairly certain what you are partaking in is a rejection. Furthermore, I'm fairly certain Pentecostal Apostolics came after Catholics, and Holy Mother Church having been well on its way to establishment when Timothy was written. Furthermore, if you don't believe in my God, who is the God of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and all mankind, then you must not be a Pentecostal.
Soverignlance 1 year ago
@Soverignlance Pentecostals DID in fact come after Catholicism, but christianity came WAY before. Christians are followers of God and not anything else. They don't worship idols, give glory to anyone BUT God. And for that verse, it followed the verse before it which is only talking about that. People need to read MORE than just one verse to understand it. Don't get me wrong, I love the order of the Catholic church, just the way things are done don't go with the Bible.
goofy456123 1 year ago
@goofy456123 Actually, I was referencing the law of the Old Testament, it doesn't specifically reference vegetables.
As for giving glory to others, have you every heard of a Saint? How about the Virgin Mother? Or an Archangel? We pray for their intersession and divine aid. However, this is not the point of the discussion. You wrote a quote about bewaring religions that come after. By your arguments you should be realigning yourself with the Latin Rite.
Soverignlance 1 year ago
@Soverignlance Still, that law was broken by God.
We don't worship nor pray any of them. "No one comes to the Father but by Me." Words of Jesus, meaning, Don't go to anyone if you wana talk to God. You come to me. Mary was only a Virgin when she had Jesus, she didn't stay a virgin, therefore she's not Virgin Mary.
goofy456123 1 year ago
@goofy456123 A difference in theology. Mary was, and is a virgin. From her birth unto her coronation as the Queen of Heaven. Obviously if someone wanted to confer with God they would go to the Messiah, he is God. But once again you are avoiding the main issue that I previously noted. That the hate that is so prominent on the thread is truly un-Christian.

@lostinthemix hmm interesting, but I'm sure you would discipline her and reprimand her for her wrongdoings,

@Soverignlance OUR enemies. those that have wronged us, brothers or sisters in Christ. NOT defiant stiff necked enemies of Christ. The Psalmist asked "Do not I hate them O Lord that Hate thee?

@folkandfaith So God preaches hate? Last I checked Christ though us to love our neighbor.

@Soverignlance You're referring to only eating veggies right? In the Bible I believe it was Paul who had the vision of being able to eat of any food, also meaning that not only Jews could be saved. We don't live in Mosaic Law anymore, Jesus came and broke religion, forming a relationship.

@Soverignlance I don't think you understand LDS theology very well. Joseph Smith taught that he had done more then any other man in history, incl. Yeshua the Christ. Smith taught many deities and that one could even become a deity of their own and that God in heaven had a beginning and was once a man, and that such had a father and a beginning etc etc ad infinity.

For some the music alone is proof of a benign Power in the world.

The Mormon church views Jesus and Satan as spirit brothers and sons of God. God put forth His plan of salvation for the world - Satan proposed his own plan. Jesus accepted the Father's plan and offered to implement it as the Savior... crucified on a Roman cross, and rose from the dead three days later to establish His deity. ..The TRUE Church teaches that Jesus Christ has existed eternally as the Son of God, the second "person" of the Trinity..so much for their integrity.
libsemik 1 year ago 2
@libsemik - I don't understand your comment, the Mormon church teaches that Jesus Christ has existed eternally as the Son of God, the second "person" of the Trinity.. the only difference is that your idea of the Trinity is One God manifested in 3 forms. The Mormon Church teaches that God the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct beings that form the Godhead. But your not really interested in this information as you just want to knock the Mormon Church.
wiggstaa 1 year ago
@wiggstaa it would seem the mormons are uninterested in "truth"...Jesus Christ IS CO-ETERNAL with the Father & the Holy Ghost... Jesus said so...Jn 10:30 "I and the Father are one"... That is, one divine nature, but two distinct persons.
mormon teaching is flawed and to sing this song (in my opinion) lacks integrity in mormon belief

@libsemik then i might be misunderstanding your post. are you saying that they are wrong in saying Jesus and Satan are brothers and sons of God, wrong in saying Satan proposed his own plan (to volunteer to be the Saviour, but to take all glory unto himself), and wrong in saying Jesus volunteered to be the Saviour and give all glory to God? or are you saying they are wrong in saying Jesus and Satan are brothers, and that the rest of it is the truth but not LDS doctrine?

libsemik 1 year ago
@libsemik LDS doctrine teaches that God created and is Father to ALL ~ including Satan. this makes Jesus & Satan brothers. it teaches that God loves all his creation equally ~ including Satan. this does not mean He condones the choices Satan has made. the LDS church teaches that God is much like an earthly parent who loves his wayward child but must practice tough love.
however, this is an entirely separate doctrine than the Jesus issue ~ what exactly do you mean by Co-Eternal?
erinwantstobesigned 1 year ago
@erinwantstobesigned Co-Eternal? ...Jn 8:58 Jesus said to them: "Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am" The Father, The Son & Holy Ghost are ONE...not three...Jesus IS GOD!...and another place in Jn 14:10 "Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?" The Father and The Son are ONE...from the beginning Co-Eternal!

@libsemik then we do differ :) the first Article of Faith in the LDS church states, "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." to us, this indicates Jesus' divine status and His eternal rightful place in the Godhead, but also differentiates between the separate entities of the Godhead.
thankfully, whether the LDS doctrine is correct or incorrect, God loves us all and wants us to love one another ~ that's the important part! ♥

@erinwantstobesigned ...yes we differ. we say "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary..." The Church asks of us two things...Orthodoxy & Obedience...right teaching and obedience to Her teaching...but the song is well done! Happy Thanksgiving!
