DavidM says He is the light that lighteth every man who comes into the world, even those who have never read the Bible. Jesus Christ is found in history as well as in the Bible.

What kind of logic is that? You all see the problem when the Mormons frame a religion based upon their own written Scriptures and religious system, but you can't see that you have the same problem when you do the same thing. What does it take for people to see that God transcends religion, religious systems, denominations, philosophy, and every intellectual device and dogma of men? Rely less on human reasoning and more on the illumination of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Consider the following verses in light of my comments: That was the true Light, which lighteth EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD. (John 1:9 KJV) That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, THOUGH HE BE NOT FAR FROM EVERY ONE OF US: FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. (Acts 17:27-30 KJV) (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, THEIR CONSCIENCE ALSO BEARING WITNESS, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) (Romans 2:13-15 KJV) Study also what the logos is and when you read the Scriptures teach that Yeshua was the Logos, learn what that means. Truth and wisdom and knowledge does not exist apart from Jesus Christ. Once we understand this, then we know that even the most evil genius has been touched by the light of Christ. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift IS FROM ABOVE, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:16-17 KJV) Peace be with you.
