I do not know anything about the mormon church or whatever it is called, but if those allegations are true, I think those members have not replied for two reasons:

1 Proberbly they have changed their minds after going through your points and compared them with the bible. I mean ,may be they have decided to leave and renounce their faith in that mormon church and its doctrines.

2 . Some may not reply you because they love their bondage and darkness more than light.


May God help us all,in Jesus name.

According to Kessy, "A true church is one that is founded and built around Christ...". [/i]If that is the case, then the Mormon church is exactly that. Joseph Smith's church was founded and built around Christ. If that isn't so, then tell me why the book of Mormon and the Church places emphasis on the Atonement of CHRIST!?

[i]"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."

Im not sure what LDS church you went to, but all of the ones I have been in believe the Bible and aim to follow it. The Book of Mormon is additional testimony to the Bible brought forth by Joseph Smith. No true Mormon church follows the Book of Mormon alone.

"what u call a true church in every way contradicts the bible?"
Again, Im not sure where you are getting your information, but this is wrong as well. The Book of Mormon, or the Church does not contradict the Bible. We teach lessons out of the Bible. But if you want to go that route doesn the New Testament vary from the Old Testament? Does that mean that the new Testament contradicts the Old Testament, or that we should do away with the old because of the new? It all builds upon one another.

Moving on..


1.Do mormons believe God has parents? - That is a fundamentalist belief. Kind of how you have different variations of Baptist and each believe different things.. The fundamentalist Mormons have different beliefs than mainstream, majority, of Mormons. But, in the gospel sense, Yes.

2.Do mormons believe God has wives & God Were Intimate that brought about Jesus & satan. - No

3.Do mormons believe Jesus & satan are brothers or are related. - Yes the same way that we are all brothers and sisters.

4.Do mormons believe God Were Intimate with Mary that brought about Jesus on earth - No. That was spiritual happening and not physical.

5.Why do mormon temples have similar physical structures & pattern with that of freemasons - Inspiration comes from different places. It has "pagan" inspiration too. Why the focus on freemasonry?


6.Why do mormorns wear a certain type of underwears with marks that are believed to protect them. - It is a sign of a covenant. Wearing them reminds you of your promise, which aids you in chosing the right, which then protects you. Its the belief.. not the phsyical presence that protects them.

7.Why do mormons conduct baptism for the dead. - Everybody deserves the chance to make Heaven. Not everybody was introduced to religion during their time on Earth. Mormons believe that God is a loving God and that it would be unfair for somebody not to make Heaven simply because they never had the chance to hear the Gospel. We believe that is it up to the spirit of that person to chose whether or not they accept that baptism.

8.Is it true that the mormon founder was a 33rd degree freemason. - He was a mason.. as was most of the men in his area at the time. He became a mason AFTER founding the church.

9.Is it true that mormons view the black race as being associated with lucifer. This wasn't a Mormon specific belief. I don't think the church would be growing at the rate it is if people thought that the Mormon church was racist.


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 dont visit those websites. Why would I waste my time trying to turn a dog into a cat?

Joseph Smith did NOT teach people to doubt the accuracy of the Bible.. He taught people to ensure the translations were correct.

Kessy, do you believe that you can do anything you want (lie, cheat, steal, kill, etc) and still make Heaven?


More later...

A black mormon adult is an ignorant person. Simple fact.


A racist church that preached that blacks were cursed to be slaves. They only stopped it when it became unpopular in America.

"In the Gospel sense, Yes" seems to me an affirmation that God has parents so how can this be if we assume in the gospel sense.
.
SniperInADiaper:
2.Do mormons believe God has wives & God Were Intimate that brought about Jesus & satan. - [color=#990000]No
I think some ex-mormons in some of the anti-mormon websites you wouldn't visit seem to have a yes answer to the above.
.
SniperInADiaper:
3.Do mormons believe Jesus & satan are brothers or are related. - Yes the same way that we are all brothers and sisters.

That answer is not biblical if you firmly affirmed that mormons use the chistian bible.As from the bible Jesus is creator to satan & not brother.
.
SniperInADiaper:
4.Do mormons believe God Were Intimate with Mary that brought about Jesus on earth - No. That was spiritual happening and not physical.

"That was spiritual happening".Does this mean it was "spiritual" se'xual intimacy?
.
SniperInADiaper:
5.Why do mormon temples have similar physical structures & pattern with that of freemasons - Inspiration comes from different places. It has "pagan" inspiration too. Why the focus on freemasonry?

But you agreed in question 8 that the mormon founder was a freemason at some point.So it don't appear to be a question of inspiration but connection.No? Focus on freemasonry is because its fully occult.
.
SniperInADiaper:
6.Why do mormorns wear a certain type of underwears with marks that are believed to protect them. - [color=#990000]It is a sign of a covenant. Wearing them reminds you of your promise, which aids you in chosing the right, which then protects you. Its the belief.. not the phsyical presence that protects them.
If mormons fully uphold the bible as per your affirmation,where is this practice in the bible?
.
SniperInADiaper:
7.Why do mormons conduct baptism for the dead. - [color=#990000]Everybody deserves the chance to make Heaven. Not everybody was introduced to religion during their time on Earth. Mormons believe that God is a loving God and that it would be unfair for somebody not to make Heaven simply because they never had the chance to hear the Gospel. We believe that is it up to the spirit of that person to chose whether or not they accept that baptism.
As again where is the biblical link if mormons use the bible.
.
SniperInADiaper:
8.Is it true that the mormon founder was a 33rd degree freemason. - [color=#990000]He was a mason.. as was most of the men in his area at the time. He became a mason AFTER founding the church.

End of discussion.(1)If this man became a mason & patterned some mormon activities to that of masonry which is fully known as occult in all bible christian circles & by former members, then does this not FULLY imply that none of his teachings can be trusted.(2)Besides is it not possible that he may have been a freemason long before it was discovered knowing that most members kept their involments secret.
.
SniperInADiaper:
9.Is it true that mormons view the black race as being associated with lucifer. This wasn't a Mormon specific belief. I don't think the church would be growing at the rate it is if people thought that the Mormon church was racist.

Ex-members affirm this even though its believed they began to slightly review this belief since entire society kicked against racism.

Joseph Smith was a mason as you agreed so how can we trust what he teaches & the intent thereof.
.
Finally where do sinful or unfaithful Mormons go if they miss heaven? Thanks for your candid replies & answers so far.

I think the reasons why some people would still prefer to remain a mormon are;

Some people love darkness more than light.

Some are ignorant of the truth. But it sad because ignorance is not an excuse in the spiritual realm.

Some are afraid of the spiritual consequences of the covenant they entered into,so would like to remain a member.

For those who are still involved in this religion ,I pray that the Lord Jesus will deliver you.

Jesus said in John 8:32 KJV
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The above is only relevant for those who want to be delivered.

God is merciful He said in Isaiah 49:24-26 KJV
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? [25] But thus saith the Lord , Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. [26] And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

As long as you want to be set free ,pray and remind God about His words quoted above, He will honour His words and set you free,in the name of Jesus.

For your re-education, watch the following youtube links and be exposed to how millions of Nigerians have been deceived to join the "cults" namely The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Jehovah's Witness, masquerading as churches of Jesus Christ FOR SO MANY YEARS!. You can also watch other well put together production that were broadcasted in the early 80's as more people started to wonder what these "churches" doctrines were truly about and how it involves Jesus Christ. Enjoy!
