a) Good point - something to think about. (However the Christian interpretation is that the Son of God entered into a human body and suffered a human death to gain understanding of this and to pay the price for our sins). I could be wrong, but I think the whole idea is ridiculas, I can't make any sense of it.

b) If you read the bible, you will not find the teaching of the trinity anywhere in it, it is an implied interpretation. That being said, if you chose to believe in the trinity, you can imply any interpretation you like to it, as it is not specifically taught in the bible.

c) So far, I think I like the Mormon's interpretation to that, and that is yes. My opinion however is that only the living souls will be saved and that Jesus's life and death played a part in it.

d) I fear that I am not fully capable of determining what part of the bible is true or false but follow my gut instincts and should I be incorrect, I think God is merciful.

e) It has been a common belief in most traditions that women should be covered and in some traditions, if she has brought shame to the family, her hair would be shaven off. That I know of, the bible only teaches that a women should be covered. These traditions mean nothing to me, this were I believe traditions of man have been made into rules from above.

f) God created all of us - again, good point. But if Jesus is actually a part of God, well then, God can't create itself.

g) There are portions in the bible where God is referred to as her or she, this is interpreted as the holy ghost part of God. Mormons however take this literally and believe that God has a wife. If the Holy Spirit is a part of God, of course God could not create itself.

h) Refer to g.

I give you the Christian, Mormon (who may also be Christian - depending on who you talk to) and my belief - and you might come up with your own, and that's okay. You see, nowhere in the bible when it speaks of the Judgment does it ever mention that God will ask you - what did you belief? I really don't think God cares what you think, and if you think it matters, you place to much on your physical brain. I don't believe God will put an A student above a B student - unless maybe that A student designed something that saved peoples lives, and that would be the only exception. The church puts far to much emphasis on beliefs, causing people to think that if they believe the right things, they will be the most favored - that's nuts. That is taught no where in any scripture I have read anywhere. If you want to be the favored of God - here's the deal. The peacemakers will be called children of the most high. All you have to do is make people stop fighting, and it don't matter what you believe. I'm sure that's just one thing you can do. But this I am sure of, everyone is different and has their special talent. Find that talent God has given you and be that talent, and you will be God's most favored.

Ya I wouldn't be so quick to accept that aspect either?
The Older Traditions maintain an agreement =>covenant was made which is held in belief as the Christ. {NT. is also references as the 'son of GOD' as used in these Testaments.}
quote:
Some Christiansmay put forth NT scripture such as parables like vineyard or some other

Christian belief that in His Life, Jesus is held to be the fulfilment of that portion of the covenant with God. His Life is neccessary to bare true witness to mankind the nature of the true 'child of God' or that which we should [could?] be Christ_like.

The ancients used verbs which attributes are breathe . . . God breath (spoke) and the world existed. . . so God exist beyond our existence?
