You've dodged the question. Tell me in your words what you would see.
I've given the scriptural response. Anything else would be purely speculation without having experienced it myself. Not to mention that "you've dodged" my questions.
yes, but it is not the subject of this thread. If you'd like to discuss it, start another thread, and if I want to discuss it with you, I'll join in. But don't hold your breath.
I do tend to get sidetracked now and then. Thanks for the heads up. My apologies to you and everyone.
you conveniently dismiss the only Biblical eye-witness account of God and Jesus in the same place at the same time by "interpretation"
Your interpretation is certainly plausible, but it is not the only possible interpretation. It is equally plausible that Stephen actually saw Jesus standing on the right hand side of God. Two separate beings, yet still one God.
"You conveniently dismiss" I am the first and I am the last there is no God besides me. You believe in 3 Gods, not one.
You cite numerous scriptures where singular pronouns are used in reference to God and I earlier cited numerous scriptures where plural pronouns are used in reference to God. It conflicts.
Singular pronouns are used because there is only one God. Plural pronouns are used when speaking of each person in the Trinity. One God, Three persons.
How is a Christian to respond to questions about the nature of God or the Godhead." Not "How do Mormons believe we recieve forgiveness?"
Again, accept my apologies, I get sidetracked sometimes without realizing it.
It was your endless dithering on that topic that got a good thread closed.
Besides the topic on Mormonism and forgiveness has been discussed so thoroughly that I believe you are the only one that is not clear with respect to where I stand on the issue. I'm sure that Nabster gets it, as does Allen. But my answer doesn't fit with your preconcieved notions of what you've been told Mormons believe, so you can't accept it and continue to "beat a dead horse." If you haven't understood what I've said thus far, and your recent post certainly indicates that you haven't, then you never will. So drop it.
Nabster- I appreciate a human that has the guts to answer the question rather than dodge it.
I may be foolish to believe I know what heaven holds, but I believe Stephen learned more about the nature of God and Jesus by seeing them for a few minutes prior to his martyrdom than can be communicated in the Holy writ.
I will take this to the new thread called: Mormon forgivess/Lutheran forgiveness.
Hugs
