Jesus is God, having always been with the Father. He created all things, and came down to earth to pay the price for our sins.
Before you get the Mormon discussions, let me help you understand how these beliefs are false according to the Bible.
Those who mock Jesus and deny His existence will still be judged by Him. It will not look good for them as they kneel down before Him on judgment day.
Mormon Teachings are in opposition with the Bible Teachings. This is obvious when we see the teachings side by side.
The marks on the temple veil are mentioned and described. How they are in representation to the garments people wear.
Philippians 2 :9-11 (KJV)
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things...
Christianity has always taught that only God is an exalted being and not people. It is heresy that people can become Gods.
Every kindred, tongue, and nation, shall bow down before Jesus. On bended knees shall they confess that Jesus is Lord
Mormons are in conflict when it comes to worshiping Jesus. Depending upon the person you ask you will get different answers.
There is a right way to serve the Lord. This is to do His will and serve Him with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2 :10,11 (KJV)
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess...
Every knee will have to bow down to Jesus if they have not already in this life. True Christians already worship Him.
From the lineage of Jacob, who is Israel, came Jesus. We read this in his blessing given to him by his father, Isaac.
Philippians 2 :1-4 (KJV)
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that...
If you wish to live a life that pleases God, then live your life like Jesus. Allow His traits to confirm your life like His.
Come and worship Jesus today. You may have been told not to, but the Bible says that He is worthy of our praise, honor, and worship.
It is better to live our lives for Jesus, then unto ourselves. With the help of God we can become selfless, kind, and loving.
Philippians 2:5-8 (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
While Jesus was on earth, he rode on an ass into Jerusalem, as it was prophesied of. All people will one day bow down to and worship the Lord God, if not in this life, but in judgement.
In reference to the resurrection of the dead, this was the reason why the Jews were upset with Paul. How interesting this is, since Daniel taught the very same thing that Paul taught concerning this topic.
So Jesus and His disciples found themselves with a man in very rough shape. People tried to get him under control but no one could.
As the righteous enjoy being in the light of Jesus, the wicked do not want anything to do with it. It actually causes them to fear and be anxious.
The light that shines upon us all is our Lord, Jesus. He is the chosen Messiah, who was born to save us all from our sins.
When we believe and know about the Lord Jesus, it is good to seek Him out often, through the Bible and prayer. This is where He is able to speak to our heart and soul and lead us into righteousness.
Philippians 2:13-15 (KJV)
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:12,13 (KJV)
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:2-5 (KJV)
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
The early church members are a great example of how a Christian ought to live a life for Christ. When I say ought to, it means desire to live righteously and get off of the path of wickedness.
I know that nothing I could ever do for my sake would yield eternal joy. Only the things I do in the name of Jesus has given me eternal happiness.
As the night went on, I was able to hand out a devotional card on Jesus to one lady who openly took one. Her words were, “I love Jesus, thank you for the card”.
