@truthfulhope: Did you know Mormonism teaches that God was once a man who became a God? Former Mormon Dr. Corey Miller explains the Mormon understanding of God, human pre-existence, and the concept of eternal progression—and why he believes this view is fundamentally different from the God of historic Christianity. Watch the full episode of the Truthful Hope Podcast to hear Corey explain what he discovered after being raised as a seventh-generation Mormon. #Mormonism #ExMormon #ChristianApologetics #Christianity #LDS

PACJones :

So created in the image of god just doesn’t mean that?

Tyler King :

I love how you guys think you’re cooking with this video but the comments say otherwise.

Joe :

So the Bible doesn't actually mean what it says. Got it.

Ajaxphys :

The Bible says we were created in His image so there’s that. He’s also called our Father. So it’s easy to see how we believe the Bible teaches He is like us, we are like Him. Children are like their parents. We don’t have wings so why would He? Whether God has a body or not I don’t think He would like us mocking each other’s beliefs.

iPrevailXIV :

Why did God make us physical and promise us the resurrection if having bodies makes us less like Him? Why did God in the form of Christ come to Earth obtain a physical body and resurrect himself, if having a physical body is worse than existing as a spirit only.

Since there is lots of confusion in the comments about the Imago Dei: God was not man who become God, as Mormons believe. God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind (Num 23:19). This distinction extends beyond mere moral differences. God is spirit (John 4:24), not flesh—a categorical ontological difference. The Egyptians are man, and not God, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit (Isa 31:3), illustrating how humanity’s material nature fundamentally separates it from God’s spiritual essence. God alone has immortality, dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see (1 Tim 6:16). To whom will God be compared, that he should be like him? (Isa 40:25–26) God declares: “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me” (Isa 46:9). While creation will perish and wear out like a garment, God remains the same, and his years have no end. When God revealed himself at Sinai, the Israelites heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice (Deut 4:12). This absence of visible form was so significant that God warned against making carved images in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female (Deut 4:15–16). The image of God has multiple dimensions, none of which include physically resembling God (for the reasons listed above). God is triune—experiencing eternal communion within the Godhead—so the image of God is a social likeness, indicating an ability to reflect in our relations something of the interactive, loving mutuality within the Trinity (I understand Mormons reject the Trinity). Humans are equipped with qualities and powers that mirror God’s, including conscience, virtue, reason, recollection, creativity, and freedom of the will, and are called to be holy and whole as he is. God’s image in humans has a functional side as well, the capacity for creative work, responsible sovereignty over creation, and participation in God’s kingdom-building project on earth. Being made in God’s image confers dignity and reflects God’s character ontologically to be manifested functionally, but not physically. God is Creator and we are creation.

And your belief system is any less bizarre? Comical watching people slam each others illogical beliefs.

Let me set up a straw man so I can beat the crap out of it. So tuff.

Aaron Miller :

Jesus was resurrected. As a Being of flesh and Bone. The apostles touched him, his wounds in his hands and side. He ate with them. “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.” — Romans 6:9 (KJV) That's explicit, resurrection, no more death. Revelation 1:18, where the resurrected Christ says: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore.” And Luke 20:35–36 applies the principle to the resurrected generally “Neither can they die any more… being the children of the resurrection.” So your saying He was resurrected and then poofed back into spirit? So what is the point of our hope in the resurrection of Jesus's resurrection was temporary?

Aaron Miller :

This Guy dosnt know LDS Theology. Shame on anyone who teaches another religions Theology without actual knowing, and understanding it.

Shmoe :

so... the resurrection is an anthropomorphism? Jesus was dead and was risen into a what? a fake real body where his disciples TOUCHED the marks on his hands? Which was only capable of being done AFTER he ascended to his father. Only to dissipate back into a ether of what? A magic wisp of cloud? this is why I can't get into the blasphemous conception of your belief if a god. Your god is literally anti biblical and turns God into the exact thing Atheists consider God to be, a magic sky daddy with a project built for nothing but his entertainment.
