You've posted a link to this website numerous times in the past, and now you're just copying and pasting the same post into a bunch of threads. I'm still waiting for you to actually engage any of my concerns, so save all this ignorant nonsense and get busy defending yourself.
I like you Betty...

You haven't answered my question [So do you think these leaders are lying or just trying to misinform ?] or just plain blind themselves :lol:

when your leaders pin modalism on Trinitarians especially when we considered that teaching heresy an anathema

I directly answered your question. Please don't so openly and flagrantly misrepresent me again.

OH master maklelan what is your concern :lol:

Master Mahan

Master Mahan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




In the religious texts of the Latter Day Saint movement, Master Mahan is a title assumed first by Cain and later by his descendant Lamech. The title indicates that Cain and Lamech were each the "master" of a "great secret" whereby they covenanted with Satan to kill for personal gain.[1] The term is found in Joseph Smith, Jr.'s translation of the Bible, Genesis 5 (currently published by the Community of Christ), and as an excerpt in the Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses 5, a religious text of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Scholars approaching the issue from a secular perspective, who argue that Joseph Smith's translation of the Bible was influenced by his cultural environment including strong local anti-Masonry, generally suggest that the term is related to Master Mason, the highest degree of the Blue Lodge of freemasonry.[2] Another suggestion is that the term is related to Mahoun, a pejorative reference to Muhammad during the Middle Ages which eventually became associated with witchcraft by Joseph Smith's era.[3] Apologists, however, generally argue that references to Master Mahan were restored by Joseph Smith from missing parts of the Bible, and therefore the term has middle-Eastern roots. Consequently, the LDS Church's publications suggest that the term Mahan could mean either mind, destroyer, or great one,[4] and one prominent Mormon apologist speculates that the term is related to Arabic and Sanskrit words meaning "keeper of a great secret".[5

Well, here I was discussing the late development of the Trinity, but you also have the creation ex nihilo thread, in addition to a number of other issues you've refused to address.

Completely and totally false, and if you suggest "let us make man" reflects the Trinity, you're more far gone than I thought.

"Let us," certainly doesn't in anyway sound like one individual. AND if only God Created everything that exists, "God" must be a plural being or there is more than one God. AND that does not fit the Biblical model.

I didn't say it was one individual. It's a reference to the divine council. You know those gods mentioned in Gen 6 that had sex with human women? Those are the kinds of gods that would participate in the divine council.

Unless, of course, the Bible is not univocal, which is exactly the case. You can't work with that, though.

My minority report:

I don't never ever want to win a debate, here at MDB.
I am not here to win. I am here to talk.

I share my opinion, then listen the answers.
As I am from Old World/Europe/East Eu/Hu, my opinion about everything - or near everything - is different than an US-Utahn- Mormon one. by the way, different than LN's fundamentalism.

Different? OK.
Weird? “F” them all.

The only thing I am here because of the evidences --- if there are sich thing.

My ones, by the way:
LittleNipper's truth is a first level stupidity.

Maklelan ? Khm khm he seems to be a thinking entity. A perilouos position as being LDS. Second level.
