Mormonism

[Andrew Barrick]

I'm tired of hearing people say that Mormonism is a Christian denomination. Especially with that homer Mitt Romney running around. Let's provide some evidence that Mormonism is nothing more than a real estate scam from hell (with getting your own planet and all).

Frankly, I can't believe one would stoop to this level and call it being informed about other religions or denominations.

Taken from mormom.org:

God is your Father in Heaven (Matthew 6:9). We call God Heavenly Father because He is the Father of our spirits and we are created in His image ( Genesis 1:27).
God has a body that looks like yours, though His body is immortal, perfected, and has a glory beyond description. He knows you personally and loves you more than you can comprehend. To help you find happiness in this life and guide you to return to live with Him, Heavenly Father provided a plan called the gospel? of Jesus Christ, a guide based on the life and teachings of His Son, Jesus Christ.
From the beginning, Heavenly Father has called prophets? to testify, record His word, and provide His plan for His children on the earth. The teachings of prophets are found in sacred? books called scriptures? ( Amos 3:7).
Your Heavenly Father knows you and loves you and wants to help you return to Him. Your life on Earth is part of His plan for you to gain a body, learn, grow, and find joy. Sometimes life is hard, lonely, or frightening, but your Heavenly Father is always there. He sorrows when you suffer and rejoices when you do what is right. He wants to communicate with you as you sincerely pray to Him, and He stands ready to give you comfort, peace, and guidance in your life.
Jesus Christ taught that you must know the only true God to have eternal life ( John 17:3). As His child, you must know who He is and what He is like to find greater peace and joy, both in this life and in the life to come.

However, they also believe that the Book of Mormon, created by Joseph Smith, Jr., is a holy book. However, as there is not hard evidence that Smith actually found the golden plates on which the book was inscribed on a hill near his home, there is also no hard evidence that the Book of Mormon is truly a God-inspired work at all.

Frankly, I cannot imagine that you would abuse your posting priviledges by defending this cult. Claiming that they acknowledge Jesus doesn't make them Christian. Filthy Godless mudslimes acknowledge Jesus too.

As a True Christian(tm) Pastor, I can assure you that we are very well-informed on all issues pertaining to Christ and the cultists who seek to subvert His commandments young lady.

Do you even have your husband's permission to be in here discussing matters religious?

I never said I was defending them; I was simply wondering if the creator of the topic actually knew anything about the religions discussed, or if it was intentional for use of entertainment. Thank you for your affirmation, Pastor. It encourages me that it was, indeed, just for kicks.

I'm well aware that Muslims aren't Christians, thank you.

And, no I don't have my husband's permission, as I have no husband. My pastor, however, encourages the entire congregation to follow God's commandment of "questioning all spirits," which is what I intend to do on these forums. I am simply interested in learning all I can about your church and your beliefs, as I am very interested in learning about other religions and denominations of Christianity.

Re: Mormonism

Just wondering, is there no way to edit a post... ?

Looking back, I would also say that if one had really read that last part about the Book of Mormons, one would be able to tell that I do not agree with the Mormon religion.

To quote myself, "there is also no hard evidence that the Book of Mormon is truly a God-inspired work at all."

Friend, I wish that the Mormon cult was just for entertainment as well, but sadly they're all too real, and condemn thousands of souls to Hell every year.

Re: Mormonism

I am no longer mormon, but I am offended that you people are capable of calling yourself CHRISTIANS... Aren't you supposed to be accepting of others?
All i have seen on these forums is judgement, and apparently with lack of knowledge.

According to that religion, Joseph Smith Jr. did find the golden plates and translated the Book of Mormon (who knows if it's true!)
But i can pull the same crap and ask "who knows if God is true?"
No one for 100% sure.... all we can do is rely on faith... isn't that what you all perscribe?

Mormons do believe in the bible, they also to have ANOTHER testament of Jesus Christ therefore REAFFIRMING his existence. And that is a SIN it makes you a CULT to let the world know that you believe that there is MORE than ONE account of his existence?

Mormons have a few more rules than most religions, they do have a prophet, and many other things.

I will not tell you which book this is from, nor what the scripture location is... but i will give you a scripture quote and pose the question... do you agree?

"And now as I said concerning faith --- faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."

Re: Mormonism

The Mormons are just shameless in their beliefs. They know that, with all of the contradictions between the True Testament of Jesus Christ, i.e., the Bible, and their sorry ripoff, the Book of Mormon, they have to say there are contradictions in the Bible to make their nonsense believable. You'd think they would at least lie low while their Antichrist, Willard Romney, is running for President, but the temptations of sin simply pull on them too strongly to be denied.

Consider this letter to the editor that the Salt Lake Tribune, an arm of the Mormon church, published in resonse to a letter by a a Baptist who had written a letter to the editor defending the consistency of the Bible:

Gougherty [the Baptist]... declares that the Bible contains no contradictions. He is wrong. One example: The Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah list the numbers of people returning from the Babylonian exile. In 17 cases, the numbers do not match. For instance, Ezra 2:8 says, "The children of Zattu, nine hundred and forty and five," but Neh. 7:13 says, "The children of Zattu, eight hundred and forty five." This is a plain and simple contradiction. The number 945 is not the number 845. If Gougherty refuses to admit this, he is in denial. In addition to these 17, the Bible contains other simple and obvious errors and contradictions.

Doesn't anyone in Utah (other than the good and Godly man Brian Gougherty) read the Bible before they start spouting this nonsense? Of course the numbers are different in the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah. No True Christian™ denies it. The numbers given in the Book of Ezra were inspired by God, and are therefore the unerrant truth. Nehemiah, on the other hand, simply reported the numbers of each tribe that were in a ledger that he found:

...I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein.... Nehemiah 7:5

No thinking human being can possibly say that this is a contradiction. Nehemiah simply picked up a piece of paper that was incorrect and told us what that paper said. Can you imagine how hard it would have been for someone not inspired by God to count all of the Israelites as they returned from captivity in Babylon? Impossible! It would have been shocking if Nehemiah had found a census that had exactly the same numbers that Ezra gave us! The very difference is proof that Nehemiah was telling the truth--if he were a phony, he would just have matched the numbers that Ezra gave and been done with it.

There is not a single documented contradiction in the Bible that cannot be resolved by a careful reading of the text. We deal with many of these issues in Brother V's wonderful Bible in a Year section of our Forum.

The full text of the offending document is HERE. BTW, the Landover Baptist counter-Mormon mission will be manning a 24 hour a day picket and prayer vigil at Burton's house in Magna, Utah, until he and his wives publicly retract this scurrilous letter and apologize to Jesus.
