ROFL! Gal, thank you so much, love you, too!

well thanks, and yeah I’ll defenitely looking into that. I do know that micheal the archangel is Adam. Adam means the eath or man of the earth. And I agree w/ you, I’ve been raised mormon yes, but I’ve been doing my own research on other religions to ee what else is out there and also a study of my own, I assure you my parents aren’t spoon feeding me when it comes to my faith, I learn things on my own by studying and doing my own personal research & asking questions :))) And since I won this battle 10 cool points to me!

Well done, little Sister. Go with Adam as “man,”(made from earth, then look up what THAT means :)) then look up what “Michael” means. Incidentally, outside of Mormonism, Rosicrucianism, and a couple other disciplines of Christian esotericism, this equivalency of Adam and Michael is not known. Ponder it.
BTW, in older (LDS) Temple Ritual, Adam and Jesus are also the same guy. Worth thinking about.

Good for you. And, I’m not in any way demeaning Mormonism. I spent about 13 years traveling extensively in Utah, and I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for you crazy Zionists. You’re in a very cool tradition, with some very valuable teachings. Just don’t let the fundies (and yes, you have them too) color your way of thinking. Explore and research other religions, but try to see the similarities they have to your own, and be open- minded.

CRAP. Allright, granted. The battle, perhaps, but not the war. :D

hahaha, thanks satol for the advice (sigh) one of the reasons I love this site, you guys are awesome :D

So like I said I’ve been doing my HW. There’s still a lot of things I have to look in to concerning some stuff I found out & want to look into, so when I get the 411 on that I’ll make a thread or something. So Micheal the archangel=Adam=man made of the earth=Moses 3:7 “And I, the Lord God, formed man out of the dust of the ground…” Micheal=one who is like God. Don’t know exactly why Jesus & Adam are referred to as the same person sometimes? I’ll get back to you on that :)))

Response to original topic:

I think, first, his love is so perfect that we can barely understand what he has revealed to us. God loves unconditionally, which mankind cannot do in and of himself. God loves perfectly, which mankind’s love cannot come even close to or even compare.
Why God loves me, i may never understand at all, but I know that God created us perfect and He views us as his creation, broken by sin. God can never change and therefore his love for us cannot change in spite of mankind’s absolute sinfulness. What he created, he will not abandon.
