I have reached my limit trying to adhere to "Christianity." I know without a doubt that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God, as foretold by the prophets of the Almighty Father, the creator of Earth and Heaven. This Almighty gave birth to the elements and gathered them together to form man. The breath of the Almighty has been endowed in all sons of Adam and this is our everlasting soul.
The Christian religion is in shambles and being travestied every next day. There is no currently correct established Christian faith. I argue scripture and people come out with various translations that are significantly different than the LV, but who can even be sure the LV is correct? It is the oldest complete text, but supposedly is ripe with things that are not properly contextualized. That said, the Catholics and Orthodox probably come the closest simply because they pursue virtue and the practice of virtue, right or wrong, invokes favor from God. This, I think, is why the Muslims are more resilient from Satan's tricks than modern Christians are. Christians have traded virtue for convenience and more Muslims, however wrong they are, view luxury as decadence while actively invoking the Almighty.
The True Religion only exists within the human soul. When Adam and Eve partook of the fruit, we became as God and Christ the Governor, suddenly being able to discern evil from good. Being their posterity we have inherited the knowledge. It is not something that has to be taught or otherwise imputed into us at any age, we simply know how to be good. Even the evil among us speak of this: evil masquerades as good and believes itself to be so. Only complete lunatics and fruit cakes actively *think* they are evil.
How does one receive the religion of God?
1. You must invoke __the GOD__. This is the God of creation. Do not invoke lesser gods or limit GOD'S power in your contemplation of Him. He is the Father of all. Nothing has ever been created but through the Father of all.
2. Surrender yourself to the Christ. Christ is the Spirit which navigated the waters before creation. Christ is the GOD which governs the Father's creation. Christ rules over the physical world and He alone holds the key to eternity. The Christ is made manifest in the Faithful (the Church). "Any who meet in my name, I will be there in the midst of them." "Know ye not that you are the Temple of the Spirit which dwells inside you?" The Christ is invoked by virtuous physical action and responds in kind to charity, according to the will of his Father. Christ reads your actions, whereas the Father reads your heart. The Christ is Jesus, who lives forever in the flesh and will return with the resurrection.
3. Once you have invoked God and surrendered yourself to Christ, God will search your heart for your faith through temptation. Satan will follow after. Faith is a great mixture of things. First, it is utter belief in God and Jesus Christ. Second, it is practicing virtue for the sake of love. There is no selfishness in faith. Third, it is retaining virtue for the sake of love through all the trials of life. Love being love for your family and those sojourning among you. Love is actively seeking to compel them to ultimate virtue (NOT HAPPINESS OR COMFORT).. it is not a simple emotion, but the selfless actions that would and should be procured by this emotion.
4. When you have been found faithful, you will receive the Holy Spirit. The test of faith has no set time. God simply searches your heart and this search exists outside of time. If it is good, then you will receive communion with the faithful and the Holy Spirit will live within you.
5. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL LEAVE IF FAITH IS NOT MAINTAINED. Life will continue as it always has. But now, having the Holy Spirit and the Christ watching over you, the temptations will become apparent. You will feel shame at your wicked thoughts and actions. God is watching. Follow the Commandments, follow St. Paul's advice. An unrepentant sinner will not receive eternal life. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO RESIST TEMPTATIONS. Satan will attempt to convince you otherwise, the Protestants will say "oh well, you're already saved so go be an Adulterer!" Catholics will say "sin and confess!" NO. God will hold you in his favor UNTIL YOU STRAY AGAIN.
6. God will assist you against the temptations of Satan. Call upon Him and ask him for his Seven Spirits. There is an entire host of Heaven, DO NOT WORSHIP IT, but God will send his army to you. The Saints pray for you, the Angels watch over you and the Seven Sprits will guide you in this world. These same will advocate for or condemn you in the day of your Judgement.
7. As St. Paul says, remain in constant prayer. We can come to understand concepts by the worship done by the Israelites, although they were caught in the devil's letter instead of God's spirit. They prayed outwardly and utilized action to pray. This is what the Christian ought to do, but correctly. Sacrifices are done in the spirit. As Israel fanned the life blood of the sacrifice onto the alter, we fan the life blood of Christ onto the Church. Meaning do charity. Be good to your brothers and sisters. Sacrifice your own comfort for the comfort of another. Provide a shoulder for a sister to cry on. Expect nothing in return, and accept nothing in return. This is because faith is love and love alone. Prayer is accomplished in goodness of soul and person.
8. Money is Satan. The primary thought of the Christian should be emotionally distancing oneself from money as much as possible. Raise your own food if this is possible. Make your own clothes, or do not seek vanity in choosing them but thriftiness (I speak as a hypocrite). Do not seek fancy cars and things. It is good to save money and this is what one should do with excess. A genuine character and money is what procures success in this world, and that should not be ignored because this must be by God's consent. However, money is evil and it should be used as a tool instead of a life.
9. The Christian should understand that evil is simply anything that is bad for the community. We do not have to look into the scripture and say "homosexuality is a sin because it says so here." It is a sin because it is unhealthy for society. Vanity, luxury, excessive consumption, effeminacy, promiscuity, laziness.. These personal characteristics are sins because they actively degrade society.
10. The Christian must rebuke evil by any means. Evil uses deception, and Christians should also use deception when working against Satan. This is permitted by God in the OT, where various Hebrews lied to save Israel to exact vengeance against strangers who dishonored their daughters. We are in a continuous fight against the demons who lie and mask their intentions to obtain positions of power over us. Christianity in Roman Empire used subtlety to gain the majority, then the mask fell off, words ended and the sword was drawn. Satan will do the same against us. Lie your way into power if you must. Deceive the infidel to protect the Church, but never deny Christ even with threat of death. To die for the faithful is the ultimate honor.

The Bible teaches explicitly against some aspects of what you call the Trinity. It teaches quite clearly that God the Father and Jesus Christ are separate just like the disciples and Jesus are separate. Read John 17 to understand what "one" means. You'll note the concepts about consubstantiality or hypostatic union were entirely foreign to early Christians and made up to try and make Christianity look more like Greek pagan philosophy. Early Christians were fine with counting to 3. Once the apologists took over all of a sudden everyone forgot how math works and what "person" means.
Also, when you see "one God" in the Old Testament, it does NOT mean what you think it means. I won't go into too many details, but you can look up the biblical research and scholarly examinations of the passages people like to cite. In both cases, the text simply says "God is really, really awesome unlike all the other loser gods".
I can give you hours of lectures on what the words "el" "elohim" "demon" etc really mean. I won't distract from this but basically the modern idea of there only being one god while all the other "gods" are just fantasy and made up is ridiculous and certainly not based on anything the Bible says about it.
We have a quote we like to share about adherents to the Trinity, something along the lines of "They believe in a God without parts or passion, in essence, nothing at all, and so they are really atheists." One of my favorite logical syllogisms is simply this: "Jesus is God; Jesus has a body; therefore God has a body."
> Satan and Jesus are brothers
Hitler is a human. Gandhi is a human. OHMYGOSH DID YOU JUST SAY THAT HITLER AND GANDHI ARE TEH SAME PERSON?!
Satan chose a different path, so he was cast out of heaven and can never, ever become like Jesus. The fact that they were once similar means nothing. Satan chose his path, Jesus chose his. They are only enemies now. We can choose to follow Satan's path or Jesus' path. It's up to us to decide.
> additional revelations
Think of it this way. When Jesus appeared in the first century, people thought he was a fake because he didn't match THEIR understanding of what the Bible said he would be. Who was right? Jesus or the people's interpretation of the Bible? Paul did the same thing, re-interpreting the Old Testament to show that Jesus was prophesied since ancient times, not the false messiah who was going to beat up Rome and conquer the world through violence.
Prophets don't change the words. They explain the words. Jesus was teaching his disciples that they misunderstood what Isaiah was saying, and so Jesus' words are more important than THEIR UNDERSTANDING of Isaiah's words.
Joseph Smith did the same. People's understanding of the Bible was wrong. He had the spirit of prophecy so he was able to explain what they got right and what they got wrong. That's all it is. We do NOT believe that subsequent revelation replaces previous revelation. In fact, we teach that subsequent revelation CANNOT contradict previous revelation. That's one sign you have a false prophet or a false spirit. Instead, subsequent scripture should **CLARIFY** previous revelation, just like the New Testament illuminated the Old Testament.
That said, because of how language and culture and tradition works, if you want to really understand what the scriptures are saying, you have to listen to the living prophet, who understands your language and culture and traditions and can explain things in a way that you can understand it too. If you want to go to ancient prophets to learn things, you also have to learn their language, tradition and culture and even then you're going to miss some things that were obvious back then but not today.
> planet
That is a lie told by people who don't understand the first thing about what the Bible has to say about it.
Look up "deification" or "theosis." It is an ancient doctrine that is well-established by the earliest writings, and even the Orthodox church teaches it today.
We believe that we will become ONE with Christ as Christ is ONE with the Father. See Rev. 3:21 and John 17 for further context. There are other great scriptures that explain this idea but those are my go-to verses. If you want some modern revelation on it, see Doctrine and Covenants 76 and 84:33-44.
We are quite open about the fact that we are destined to become **like** God. We teach quite openly that those who overcome by faith will inherit EVERYTHING the Father has. Not just a planet or two, or a galaxy or whatever. We will be joint-heirs with Christ, as the Bible says.
The fact that Western Christianity lost this key doctrine shows how corrupt Western Christianity is. It's plainly in the Bible, in multiple ways and places, and it's still a strong traditional doctrine taught in the Orthodox church. The church fathers knew all about it. It was the big reason, I think, that Christianity spread so quickly among the pagans.
> Book of Mormon
You won't know what is in the Book of Mormon unless you read it.
Satan has put forward tremendous efforts to convince good people not to read the book. That's because he knows what happens to people who read it.
