My friend... a true church is one that genuinely believes in the divine inspiration of the Holy Bible and is actually trying to do what the Bible says in every phase and facet of life. It is a church that has no other "holy books" or church "traditions" that take the place of the Bible on anything. This church is not a building or a corporation or an invention of human beings. It is a spiritual organism with a history going right back to Jesus Christ and the apostles. It is a very small church—the "little flock" described by Jesus Christ (Luke 12:32)—but it has always existed since the time of Christ and will exist things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6:2–3) |

I need to be guided if perhaps I'm wrong;Can any mormon on this thread give me short but DIRECT answers to these questions: 1.Do mormons believe God has parents? 2.Do mormons believe God has wives & God had sex that brought about Jesus & satan. 3.Do mormons believe Jesus & satan are brothers or are related. 4.Do mormons believe God had sex with Mary that brought about Jesus on earth 5.Why do mormon temples have similar physical structures & pattern with that of freemasons 6.Why do mormorns wear a certain type of underwears with marks that are believed to protect them. 7.Why do mormons conduct baptism for the dead. 8.Is it true that the mormon founder was a 33rd degree freemason. 9.Is it true that mormons view the black race as being associated with lucifer. 10.What are your views on claims against mormons on this website http://mormonismexposed..com/2006/04/further-evidence-to-cement-fact-that.html and on similar websites that claim to expose mormon doctrines on google. - I didn't say I'm better than you but want to learn how mormon differs from others.Thanks |

MEILYN:firstly mormons believe that Man can become God...that God was first man Mormons teach that man can become God, and that God was once a man: "God himself, the Father of us all, is a glorified, exalted immortal resurrected man!" (Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 322-23, 517, 643) "...God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens..." (Journal of Discourses, V6, P3, 1844) "As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become." (Lorenzo Snow, quoted in Milton R. Hunter, the Gospel Through the Ages, pp. 105-106) This is plain and simple heresy. Nowhere does the Bible say or imply that God was ever a man, or that man can become God! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the LORD, I change not..." How could this be true if God was once a man? Genesis 1:1 states that God existed "in the beginning" before man was ever created. John 4:24 states that God is a "spirit," and Jesus tells us in John 1:18 that no man has seen God at any time. Numbers 23:19 says that "God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent." God has always been God, and no one has ever "become" God. 1 Like |

Secondly: The Bible declares, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is becausethere is no light in them." (Isa. 8:20) However, the Mormon Church claims that other writings, such as the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith's writings are also authoritative. In fact, Joseph Smith taught his people to doubt the accuracy of the Bible: "...it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of men, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 10) |

mormonism says Jesus' Sacrifice is not enough Mormonism teaches that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross itself (and receiving it by faith) is not sufficient to bring forgiveness of sins. It teaches that the forgiveness of sins is obtained though a cooperative effort with God; that is, we must be good and follow the laws and ordinances of the Mormon church in order to obtain forgiveness. Consider the late James Talmage, an LDS apostle who said, "The sectarian dogma of justification by faith alone has exercised an influence for evil," (Articles of Faith, p. 432), and "Hence the justice of the scriptural doctrine that salvation comes to the individual only through obedience," (Articles of Faith, p. 81). This clearly contradicts the biblical doctrine of the forgiveness of sins by grace through faith ( Rom. 3:28 ; 5:1 ; 6:23 ; Eph. 2:8-9 ) and the doctrine that works are not part of becoming salved ( Rom. 4:1-5 ) but a result of them ( James 2:14-18 ). To further confuse the matter, Mormonism states that salvation is twofold. It maintains that salvation is both forgiveness of sins and universal resurrection. So when a Mormon speaks of salvation by grace, he is usually referring to universal resurrection. But the Bible speaks of salvation as the forgiveness of sins, not universal resurrection. |

SniperInADiaper:Am not against what you believe and i dnt talk without backings: According to your aforementioned Founder...joseph smith...i requote him from the (Doctrines & Convenants 132:61,62 :...if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then he is justified; he cannot commit adultery...And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery." (Doctrines and Covenants, 132:61, 62) Jesus Christ held a slightly different view (Mark 10:6- 9). There is no way a man can be "one flesh" with more than one woman. A man and his wife are supposed to picture Christ and his church (Eph. 5:23-32), but this symbolism is shattered by the Mormon heresy of Polygamy. 1 Like |

the comments here are very interesting..........it clearly shows that most christians are cluesless about the teachings of Jesus Christ..........

what is the difference between the absurdity of joseph smiths fable of meeting up with angels who presented him with golden tablets to write the book of mormon, and paul/sauls claim of coming in direct contact with an already dead jesus and writing a huge chunk of the new testament, or even moses claiming to go to some mountain top to collect some stone 10 commandment tablets directly from god himself? is it that, the older the myth, the more credible? if so, then judaism, mithras, zorotoaism, greek mythology, celtic and germanic pagan religions, and all other religions that pre-date christianity are therefore more legit by the way, mormonism has more or lest been an officially racist institution not until around the late 70s when it was no more politically correct to be a bigot...prior to then, blacks had been considered cursed, and from the devil, and not allowed to enter priesthood in the latter day church...i wonder what a black african is doing claiming to be a mormon...kolo mentality 1 Like |
