Re: Why Mormons are NOT Christians

Oh yes, real quick, in case you want to know what we believe in a nutshell

We already know that. Mormons believe that they can insult Jesus over and over again by making up stuff that is not in His Holy Bible.

God explicitly forbids that: Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."


And He also tells us how He will punish those that add to the word anyway: Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

So if you wonder why Mormons are usually sick and why they all die young. Just read the Bible, the real one!

Hello Roberta and Crankyoldman -

I'm sorry that you feel such hostility towards myself and my beliefs. I can assure you that I feel no such hostility towards you.

Our Heavenly Father loves each of us so much as His children. Just as I do not want to see my sons and daughters fight amongst each other, I'm sure our Father in Heaven does not want us to fight.

Again, I am happy to share my beliefs with you if you are interested. I also invite you to share your own personal beliefs with me. But I kindly ask you not to castigate my beliefs or me personally because I believe differently than you. We are all Gods children.

Are you retarded? I pointed out HOLY SCRIPTURE FROM THE HOLY BIBLE that proves my point. There can be 0% doubt that all Mormons will burn in Hell for all eternity. Have you ever even opened a Bible!?

Allow me to PROVE to you that you will burn in Hell.


#1 You break God's law by adding things to the Holy Bible: Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."

#2 The Bible tells us that breaking a law is the same as breaking all of them: James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. You could just as well go on a killing spree, all sins are equally bad to God!

#3 Those who sin will burn in Hell: Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Case closed. You lose and God wins. Always!

Hello Again Brother,

Again, I'm not here to "bible bash" because it would simply go round and round. If you are asking me about my beliefs, please ask a specific question, and I'll be happy to share what I believe. However, I will not use scriptures to demean your beliefs. I ask you please keep that respect mutual.

Re: Why Mormons are NOT Christians

Hello A Kind Correction

Welcome to God's favourite forum

OK a specific question

What is your favourite Bible verse? What inspires you?

The one inspiring me today is:

Numbers 35:16
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Yours in Christ

Okay--did the angel macaroni descend from the flying spaghetti monster? I am only asking because some visitors ascribe their faith to this mythical god of pasta.

Fair enough. Why do you believe the insane scribbles of a convicted con man can have any validity alongside the simple truth in God's Holy Word? Did God ever mention Joe Smith or magical underwear?

You are dealing with the devil, my friend, and facing certain eternal damnation in the sulfurous likes of fire in Hell as long as you entertain foolishness as truth.

Hi Noah,

Thank you so much for your kind demeanor. I truly appreciate it.

That is a great question! The first one that come to mind is:

John 3:16
16 ¶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Thanks!

Hi Roberta,

I'm not exactly sure what you're speaking of... but if you are speaking of the first revelation given to Joseph Smith, I'll be happy to share the experience.

As Joseph sought truth among the different faiths, he turned to the Bible for guidance. He read, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5). Because of this passage, Joseph decided to ask God what he should do. In the spring of 1820 he went to a nearby grove of trees and knelt in prayer. He described his experience:

“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. . . . When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17).

That's a great NT verse - although I would say I am an OT type of guy myself. Tell me - Why are you here? What do you hope to achieve from your intercourse with us?

Well, well another cherry picking John 3:16. How about we skip ahead to John 3:18.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

So tell us more about this "planet" God lives on? Mormonism sounds more like Star Track to me than a religion.

Hello Brother Porter -

First, to set the correct foundation, the Prophet Joseph Smith was never convicted of anything - so to give him a title of a convicted con man is not accurate. Yes, he was arrested several times on trumped up charges, but the truth always prevailed. However, convicted or not, Christ too was charged and even executed, and I still trust Him.

As for your question regarding if the Bible prophesies of Joseph Smith - I believe it does in the following verses.

shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, Isa. 11:1.
book is delivered to him that is not learned, Isa. 29:12.
send my messenger … prepare the way, Mal. 3:1 (Mal. 3:2–4).

I know you will likely disagree with my interpretation, and I'm not trying to prove you wrong - I'm simply answering your question.

Thank you.

Hi Noah,

That is a valid question. Honestly, I don't have a purpose other than to share what I believe. I've always found that the more I get to know a person and why they do what they do, the better we get along. To be frank, I stumbled onto this website today - and it was sad to see so many hurtful names called against people of my faith.

I just hope people will realize that we're all trying our best to return to our Heavenly Father.

Again, thank you for your kind demeanor.

I find myself somewhat skeptical that someone can claim to be a Christian and believe Christ and the Devil are brothers (what is that Quadinity? God, Holy Spirit, Christ and the Devil) However Jesus has clearly given Mitt Romney the nod to be the next president of the United States and save this Godly nation from the evils of socialism and gay marriage. Since it is One Savior, One Vote with us TRUE Christians I am prepared to accept Mormons as provisional Christians.

That being said I am curious to hear what social program are you looking forward to being eliminated during Mitt Romney's first 100 days? Hot School lunches is my personal favorite.
