Algorithm boost 👏 great discussion

Thanks friend! We try to keep it lively!

Why does everyone think they "KNOW" GoD!! Growing up Mormon I did think of God as a mean angry father that demanded Obedience. But then another Christian showed me Gods Love and Grace. Turns out he is good and for us! But still people tell me. God cant lie, God cant sin, God cant look at sin in the least degree. If God cant lie and the devil can doesn't that make the devil more powerful? Is God not all powerful and all knowing? I think wrong for us to think we fully know God. He is a supreme being. We should exercise faith and trust in him. meRRy CHRIST-mas everyone!!!

People want to humanize God. I honestly believe that people perception of god/God has more to do with EGO than anything else.

[@bradensorensen966]

The devil isn't real. The devil is a tool for demonizing other people--usually people groups--in order to justify bad actions from minor discrimination to heinous human rights violation--as far as genocide.

This is a good response. I saw that comment too. I’m so glad there are faithful channels for us ex Mormons that are Christian now.

Guy anunciates his words just like John Dehlin.

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

Don’t insult me bro, lol!

[@jacobsamuelson3181]

@JesusForMormonspodcast Not trying to insult just point out.

[@jacobsamuelson3181]

Mormonism has everything any Christian would need to believe in God. When someone loses faith in the Church of Jesus Christ due to xyz. That xyz is just as void to them in any religion that is why it is extremely natural for people to become agnostic or atheist after Mormonism. If you hold to the Christian faith you have to continue a different type of the same cognitive dissonance that faith would remedy.

[@MormonNewsRoundup]

I wouldn’t say Christianity is ridiculous, that’s rude, I would just say it’s irrational

[@MormonNewsRoundup]

but I agree the Trinity is ridiculous

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

What do you mean by that?

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

What makes you think the trinity is ‘ridiculous’?

[@MormonNewsRoundup]

@ it’s unexplainable, unknowable, incomprehensible nonsense

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

@MormonNewsRoundup that is a very “Mormon” response of you. It reminds me of the talk by Jeffrey Holland in the 2008/2009 general conference on the Trinity vs Godhead which is a reiteration of the old temple ceremony (that was deleted) of the devil and a Protestant minister discussing how to work together. My question is, as was posed in the video, does your opinion of who God is matter?

[@hellfireagency]

Dude, you should look at my Exvangelical/Exmormon video with Derek of Mythvision. So fun.

@@JesusForMormonspodcast I think in general YT doesn't allow people who are not the owner of a channel to create comments with a link. One might try to give a deliberately broken link though.

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

@ gotcha. I will look for it!

[@lhyde55]

Still logically fallacious. There is still no way to demonstrate god. No way to even have god be a possibility.

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

A possibility? Dang, you got receipts?

[@hellfireagency]

If the premise of Christianity is ridiculous for anything, it is the idea that Jesus is not valid unless a child was born to a virgin 2000 years ago and then rose from the tomb after being crucified. That's plainly silly when a countless number of early Christians have lived and died (and untold numbers have secretly since) having never believed any such thing. The power of the myth of Jesus is supposed to be about the baptism. It is supposed to be about one's relationship with a god, not a man. And yet, if one tells so many a modern Christian that there is no way that the man they read about in the Gospels is anything but a Hellenistic invention appropriating Jewish scripture and culture, their fragile faith is shattered.

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

It’s more about a ex Mormon lens of Christianity after leaving the Mormon church. I believe in Jesus.

[@hellfireagency]

@JesusForMormonspodcast Oh I get that. I was responding to the idea at the premise

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

@@hellfireagency oh yeah! Jesus all the way!

[@JesusForMormonspodcast]

Dude, I had to reread your first comment. I didn’t get where you were going with it. My mistake. BTW- Church of Korihor… lol
