Is that not what The Savior taught?  What ministers of Joseph Smith's day had the Authority of God to declare their particular sect good to go, then condemn the other?  Smith wanted to know which of them to join, if any, and was commanded by God to join none of them.  That makes the most sense since they were mudslinging each other, and had extremely different interpretations of the Bible, which hasn't changed.

If you repent of misleading the children of God, go your way, and sin no more by following His Teachings and example, kinda hard to go wrong with that.  Since God appointed Joseph Smith as the first living Prophet since the early Christian Church, and commanded him to preach repentance to his generation, he gets more than a pass.

You, on the other hand, lack any authority on the matter.  You have been filled with lies about God's true Church, and are doubling down on it, because some wicked and corrupt minister told you a bunch of hogwash about Mormons, who seem to be the constant target of sects like this.  It's really weird, when you stop and think about the fixation that some of these people who claim to be followers of Christ on one hand, then devote so much effort to attacking one particular faith.

I've said this before, where do people find the time to blow away so much of their lives in attempting to drag down people from another Faith, and why?  The, "We're trying to save you from your version of Jesus."  isn't going to work, especially among people who have a very close relationship with the Savior that brings true happiness.  There's only one real answer, ans that is the adversary has a hold of your heart.

Nowhere, does any doctrine, say keep having kids you can't support. Nor does any doctrine support alienating their family, but some individuals are less than rational. On the other hand, Wards regularly pay rent, all utilities, and all food for these families and similar. I've written methadone checks for members returning and getting help with addiction.

The world doesn't have a good track record with receiving Prophets' messages, if you recall.

Joseph Smith like David Koresh huh?

The 3 witnesses never retracted their testimonies about the plates, and were even called out on it.  I don't believe these events based on other people's witnesses though.  I knelt down when I was 13, asked God if he was there, and had a profound, life-changing experience that I can only best describe as being born again in a spiritual sense.

At that time, everything in my life changed, and I no longer believed, but now knew that God lives, His Son, Jesus Christ, is the only way back to Him, and I was on the right track.  That kind of faith does not destroy people.  People will run with the ball different ways, but at the end of the day, every man has to face this life for himself and find out what he's doing.

For me, I learned for a fact that I wasn't alone, and had The Son of God picking up my slack, and there is no better point man than Jesus.

Problem is there are many different sects that preach and require different things it seems.  In Arizona the Mormons were completely different then here in Idaho.  They felt they had to Tithe as much as they could, which was actually more then they could, and also had to continue to have kids to reach heaven.

I have said, the majority of Mormons I know are great and selfless people.  Sounds like you are one as well.  Doesn't change the facts surrounding Mormonism though.

I will answer your question, but I doubt that you will believe me.

I CARE because, believe it or not, I love my Mormon friends like juni4ling and shane333.  I believe they are making a serious mistake in following the religion of Joseph Smith.  It is a critical error and could have eternal results.

The Bible tells me that I should love those that disagree with me and that I should at least "try" to convince them of their errors.

The Bible tells me to, "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." - Jude 1:3

To do so does not mean that I "hate" them, but is only because I love them, and want them to come to know the Jesus that I know.

I do not make fun of them.  I do not try to insult them.  I do not say that they are "bad people".  I only tell them the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

And some of them discuss our differences without either of us being insulting to each other.

Some others (on both sides) ought to give it a try.

What he said. It's the same reason my good friend Old_Painless chats with me (always politely) in atheist threads. He truly cares, and I've always appreciated that.

Actually, for the last two years, my calling has been on the "Provident living committee". (So easy, I could do it) My "spare" time is spent working trying to get a business off the ground. I get my home teacher to come over once a week to banter with me. The guy I am a home teacher for has been MIA (Who knows where this guy took off to) for over a year. At this point, I wouldn't mind being a scoutmaster, stuffed somewhere on the bishopric, kicked up to the stake, heck, high council would be nice and get me out of the ward to go visiting other wards. There really isn't much to do. When we get the last of the kids out of the house, my wife and I want to be a missionary couple and just go somewhere and do something.

Enlighten me about all your vast understanding of God's word. Since I don't read it, does God's word not say (I will make this easy for you, since he simplified for those too busy to actually read it) "Love The Lord your God with all your mind, body and soul and love others as you do yourself"? Why would you change his word to lead others down the wrong (wide) path?

Does belief in exaltation make Latter-day Saints polytheists?
For some observers, the doctrine that humans should strive for godliness may evoke images of ancient pantheons with competing deities. Such images are incompatible with Latter-day Saint doctrine. Latter-day Saints believe that God’s children will always worship Him. Our progression will never change His identity as our Father and our God. Indeed, our exalted, eternal relationship with Him will be part of the “fulness of joy” He desires for us.

I assume the god of this world had a Father (god)

You are wrong as far as I know. They just don't follow the Bible as the absolute and sovereign truth in their doctrine. There are just a lot here he think that this is an attack on nice people instead of really understanding the discussion.

The Bible is clear about Jesus' claim to be God, not just a god. Mormons do not believe that Jesus is in fact God, and thus in turn deny the diety of Jesus.  It is plain and simple, but they will always argue that their view of Jesus is the same as any Catholic or protestant group. It's not worth arguing with them when what the Bible says is quite clear. You can use Google, look up all of the verses where Jesus claims to be God, then see what Mormons have to say about them, etc. Educate yourself.

Oh my.

"They will always argue that their view of Jesus is the same as any Catholic or Protestant group."

Unbelievable. Flat-out unbelievable.

The beliefs of the Latter-Day Church of Jesus Christ are in-line with the pre-credal "Christian" Church.

They are not in-line with the post-credal "Church." Almost every modern "Christian" church can draw a direct-line to the Catholic Church…

I'm a bobcat and wolf scout master in my ward. My wife teaches 3 year olds in Sunday school. I wouldn't trade my service to the Lord for anything. My total time consumed in a week is 1 hour.  A lot of times I feel like its too little. Our religion isn't just attending church. We dedicate our lives in the service of God and our fellow men. One thing I've never understood is the obsession with our underwear. I wish people would stop and think about if they would find it appropriate if people continually made their underwear a public subject. Talking about my underwear every time someone finds out I'm Mormon is embarrassing and obnoxious.

And thats where you loose any credibility or hope of being taken seriously.  You really are speaking like a brainwashed cult follower.  Your "Prophet" has more in common with David Koresh then someone a true Christian would be willing to follow.  

Even the so called 3 witnesses all were either excommunicated or left the church for disagreements or varying beliefs.  Some reports even have them recounting the events leading to the founding of Mormonism.  Some eventually came back but doesn't seem very sincere for people who just supposedly witnessed one of the greatest events ever.  Isn't it funny how most of the witnesses including the additional 8 were related?

I have witnessed first hand how the LDS can change people, both good and bad.  My wifes family is great and very loving, caring and responsible.  I have relatives on my moms side that have absolutely been destroyed by their "faith" though.  Flat broke, kids they can't afford but feel obligated to keep having, alienating themselves from family, etc.

The Lord has said that he will use Prophets…

And there will also be false prophets….

Try to tell the difference? Look at their fruits.

Joseph Smith produced scripture, and he produced a Church.

Koresh? Lots of dead, lots of problems were his fruits.

Many so-called "Christian" leaders have profit as a motive… By their fruits ye shall know them.

The followers of Joseph Smith today… Everyone wants a "Mormon" as a neighbor. Everyone wants the benefits of the Church God restored through Joseph Smith…

Yeah… No question, no doubt… To deny that the Lord works through Prophets is to deny scriptural truth.

The test: Look at their fruits. Joseph Smith produced scripture, and he produced a Church. He produced fruits everyone can see, everyone can judge.

I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God… And it is no accident that most people desire us as friends and neighbors…

As for your relatives who have problems… That is an interesting judgement on your part… How is any of that the fault of the Latter-Day Church of Jesus Christ… And do you think that there were none of those types of issues in the pre-credal Christian Church?-?

I guess it depends which yardstick you are using.

Pre-credal Christians believed many things that the Latter-Day Church of Jesus Christ believe.

Post-credal "Christianity" (after 450 AD) does *not* match-up with Latter-Day Teachings…

The yardstick that *should* be used is the pre-credal "Christian" Church…
Several biblical passages intimate that humans can become like God. The likeness of humans to God is emphasized in the first chapter of Genesis: “God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. … So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”3 After Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” God said they had “become as one of us,”4 suggesting that a process of approaching godliness was already underway. Later in the Old Testament, a passage in the book of Psalms declares, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”5

New Testament passages also point to this doctrine. When Jesus was accused of blasphemy on the grounds that “thou, being a man, makest thyself God,” He responded, echoing Psalms, “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?”6 In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus commanded His disciples to become “perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”7 In turn, the Apostle Peter referred to the Savior’s “exceeding great and precious promises” that we might become “partakers of the divine nature.”8 The Apostle Paul taught that we are “the offspring of God” and emphasized that as such “we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.”9 The book of Revelation contains a promise from Jesus Christ that “to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”1

You see, if he did give a direct answer he would be drawing a clear distinction between LDS and mainline Christian doctrine.  He would then be forced to admit that both positions cannot be true and thereby acknowledge that one of us are the "real" Christians.

Here is a very simple answer. Jesus is a member of the God head. God the father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. There are many times in the bible where Jesus even speaks in place of his father. You asked this question several times and have been ignored because you are contentious. We have no problem telling you what we believe but most of us have no interest in debating our religion and fighting over theology.

Trinitarian discussion, Roman Catholic as well as others, presents a somewhat unsteady silhouette. Two things have happened. There is the recognition on the part of exegetes and Biblical theologians, including a constantly growing number of Roman Catholics, that one should not speak of Trinitarianism in the New Testament without serious qualification. There is also the closely parallel recognition on the part of historians of dogma and systematic theologians that when one does speak of an unqualified Trinitarianism, one has moved from the period of Christian origins to, say, the last quadrant of the 4th century.

Not simple at all. Lawyer double talk? Want clear easy to understand explanation "Jesus is the son of God and also God in the flesh. he came to die for our sins because we are all born into sin. he love all of us more than we could ever imagine in our simple little minds. Not only is the Bible real but if you think the stories ( Johan and he Whale, Moses, Noah and everything else you can't believe is real, God spoke ( yes SPOKE)  this existence into being. I do not need any organized or established junk on this earth to teach me that. I am seeking God with ALL of my heart and I want to know him more each and every day. Furthermore I want to help everyone who is seeking to see that they do not need anything more than Your word to know that!!!!!

*After* the Nicene Creed… And once the Catholic Church was in full-swing… Very little similarities.

These threads are so much awesome reading for me. Since I don't believe in any of these books, but having read them (unlike the above poster), I can fairly objectively figure out who is christlike and who isnt. I read the bible, book of mormon, quran, and taroh the same way I read any of my engineering books. I'm not all wrapped up in salvation and a warped interpretation of the book brought on by hallucinations after being bitten by a rattlesnake.

If by the most minutest possibility any of these books, written by primitive screwheads, turns out being real; the mormons will be in heaven.

Gunwrtr, OP, NFAtoyz, etc all, will all be burning in hell. They have clearly missed the point of living a christlike life and I seriously doubt any of them has even opened the new testament. Modern day sadducees.  As a non-believer I think these people exemplify everything wrong with christianity and actively besmirch it's name. Take a lesson from the mormons on how to act. Take a lesson from the mormons on how to treat others. Take a lesson from the mormons on how to not come off as rabid foaming at the mouth snakehandlers. Hell, learn something, anything from the mormons; it just might keep you from going to hell.


This thread also makes me extremely thankful I work with a bunch of agnostic or atheist engineers...
