  Here is an email I received that I believe is relevant to this discussion.

  “It’s easy to dismiss individual programs that benefit non-citizens until they’re put together and this picture emerges. Someone did a lot of research to put together all of this data. Often these programs are buried within other programs making them difficult to find.

  WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?

  Informative, and mind boggling!

  You think the war in Iraq was costing us too much? Read this:

  We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

  I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

  I hope the following 10reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I also have included the URL’s for verification of all the following facts…

  1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.

  @ The Blaze Admin

  A few of my post in the middle of this conversation did not get posted. I’ve tried to repost them, however, they still are not showing up. Could you please fix this problem?

  Due to the Blaze having issues a few post are out of order this post should be after the 7th post ending in “effectiveness of His atonement.””

  All Christians recognize and appreciate what Christ did for us during His earthly ministry. But the knowledge of what Christ did before He came to the earth—as I explained earlier—is an additional reason why we Mormons are all the more grateful for His life and mission.

  Christ said explicitly that if we love Him, we must keep His commandments. That means effort (see Jon 14:15). We do not say that we love Christ more than other Christians do because we recognize this need to keep His commandments and expend effort doing so. Not at all. But neither do we love Him less.

  @ LameLiberals

  Mr. White’s books hold no weight nor merit any serious consideration when talking about Mormonism. It would be like reading a book written by a far left Liberal to learn more about Conservatives. All of his work is purely based on his own bias opinion. All of which can easily be refuted. I’d recommend you read a sires of letters written by one of our young full time missionaries in response to Mr. White’s attempts to shake his faith. He quite easily refutes Mr. White’s arguments with pure doctrine. You can find those letters at the following link:

  However, I sense a world of difference between the “small g” gods that Christ mentioned (John 10:34) in speaking of the potential of humans (my view) and God the Eternal Father, who is the one and only everlasting God (see also I Cor. 8:5,6). The reference to humans as potential “gods” is clearly meant in a limited sense, but the word God uses nevertheless is “gods.” Obviously, we know too little to explain anything in depth about the next life and about “the glory that shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). We are like microbes looking up through the microscope and speculating about the Scientist who observes us. We are children, following after our very wise and mature Father, knowing little more than a young child does of the things of God. This we know: the glory is to the Father (and Christ) forever. May we return to their presence.

  I hope you have found this conversation to be enlightening. And again thank you for taking the time to better understand our beliefs. If you have any further questions, or need further explanations on our doctrine feel free to ask. You can also find answers to any questions you may have about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at http://www.lds.org or http://www.mormon.org.

  Some people have speculated on what is meant by John 5:19 and on what Lorenzo Snow meant, but we do not know and I get very nervous when people pretend they know. Certainly there are many difficult and foolish questions which can be asked in this arena. The important point is that God, Christ, and man are of the same “species,” and that man has divine potential to become more like Christ and the Father (e.g., see Romans 8:14-18; 2 Peter 1:4-10; 1 John 3:2). This concept was understood by the early Christians.

  Knowing who Christ is makes me very suspicious of anyone who says that we will become EXACTLY like Him. The Bible teaches that we can become “joint heirs” (Rom. 8:14-18) and can become “like him” (I John 3:2) and indeed, need to become like him (Matt. 5:48) and be one with him (John 17:21-23). Stronger still, Paul in Philippians 2: 5-7 seems to urge us to pursue that goal, not through puffery, but through humble service:

  “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant….”

  While He and the Father are the one true God, whom we will always worship, He does want us to become more like the Father (Matt. 5:48) and that possibility is there because of Christ. Thus, thinking of Christ and our relationship to Him, what Lorenzo Snow said is accurate. However, it appears that Lorenzo Snow’s quote also applies to the Father, indicating that He also experienced a period of mortality, but we know nothing specific. But before you let the idea of “God once being like man” offend you, remember that it is explicitly true about Christ Himself. If Christ were the same being as God the Father, then it would also be true of the Father as well, so non-LDS critics who accept the doctrine of the Trinity shouldn’t get so upset. Of course, we believe that God and Christ are separate individuals, one in purpose, heart, and mind. But, in the spirit of pure speculation, let me ask if it is possible that Christ, during His mission on the earth, was doing that which He had seen the Father do? In John 5:19, Christ said “The Son can do nothing, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”
