A Statement from Truth in Action Ministries, Oct. 14, 2011
"While having the deepest respect for the moral and ethical standards of the Mormon people and their church, we must sadly reject their teachings as false and not Christian." –D. James Kennedy, Ph.D.
Texas pastor Robert Jeffress generated headlines last week when he told reporters that Mormonism is a cult—a belief system at odds with historic Christianity.
Since then he has been accused of bigotry, called a “poster boy for hatred,” and a “moron.”
Despite those harsh charges, Jeffress, who backs Texas governor Rick Perry for the GOP presidential nomination, has made it clear that his view of Mormonism is theologically grounded and not an expression of bigotry. He made it clear that he would be willing to vote for Romney in the general election if he wins the Republican nomination and said he thinks that Romney is a “fine family person.”
Dr. Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, does, however, stand by his statement that Mormonism is a theological cult—and we stand with him.

Christianity started as a Jewish cult.
Marxism is a cult.
Well we do know that mainstream media is for those who have to drink from a bottle still.... as many take the easy way out of determining what is true or not. Basically followers of whatever they are fed.
People don't want to know the truth in our day....it's too uncomfortable in a nation who is primed and ready to take in anything it's fed, often without even questioning. The "whatever" attitude is alive and growing thru every aspect of our nation. There is little spine in our people to stand up....it's just easier to let things go and not be concerned one way or another.
yes, it is time to start reading and studying His book.
may i suggest you start with Matthew 21:33-43.
Jesus didn’t start over entirely with pagans, if they were still pagans they would be as lost as the unbelieving Jews Jesus was addressing. no, the Kingdom was taken from national Israel and it was given to a nation of believers, comprising Jews and Gentiles alike.
Well....I have read the entire bible...and it's clear to me God's not finished with Israel....further that we as Christians do believe in the Messiah... Jesus...of which the old testament clearly states said would come...and by doing so opened the way for any who call upon the name of the Lord to be saved from that which is to come.
You need to get rid of the words “Jew” & Gentile” and start thinking like YHVH, “ONE PEOPLE, ONE LAW, ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL!”
See South Park for what Mormons Really Believe.
Yeah it’s a cult.
Mormons believe this about Christ ....
“..That Lucifer, the son of the morning, is our elder brother and the brother of Jesus Christ.”
(Apostle B. McConkie Mormon doctrine p.163-164)
“...Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character (satan) that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven,”
(Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, pp. 50-51).
in addition....” Jesus got married at Cana and had many wives Martha, Mary and others he also had many children”
(J & D vol.1 345-346 vol.2 79-82 vol.4:259-260 the seer p.172)
This is NOT the Jesus of the Scriptures or even remotely so.
(Source: Let Us Reason)
It remains a heresy, as does all of Protestantism. Heresies can last hundreds of years.
Not too long ago I was reading how hard it is for them to defend they have no historical proof of the various tribes etc. they lay claim to....no artifacts...no nothing...just as you say..... Generally any former civilization has many items easily identifiable to substantiate they were present and alive.
Why would the LSM want a Mormon?
Mormonism has so many “warts” the so called middle electorate of this country will be repulsed when the Lame Stream Media declares war on Romney.
He will be so EASY to take out politically.
Romney will not only have to deal with his flip flopping he will also have to deal with Mormonism:
1. Blacks not having the priesthood until 1978.
2. Women cannot hold the same priesthood as a twelve year old boy can.
3. Polygamy has never been revealed to be a bad thing. Only that the U.S. government does not allow Mormons to practice polygamy. My own Bishop Mormon brother-in-law verified that for me.
4. Why are there so many secrets in the Temple? And do you Willard Romney participate in those ceremonies that are secret?
5. Are you wearing that underwear now?
6. Governor Romney do you believe you are going to have multiple wives in heaven (just like the Muslims) to populate other worlds?
All of the these topics are off limits now. But I can guarantee you that they will be called fair and reasonable once Governor Willard “Mitt” Romney the nomination.
Rm 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against YHVH(God); for it is not subject to the Torah(law) of YHVH(God), nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please YHVH(God).
It is not enough to just say “I believe Yah’shua is the Messiah” for even the devil believes that. It is when one leaves the carnal religious doctrine and accepts wholly without question the protection of YHVH’s Torah. That is when they become a full & complete member New Covenant. Yah’shua & Torah are never to be separated!
Yah’shua needed to come because YHVH divorced the house of Isra’el. YHVH never divorced the house of Judah. And any pagan from other religions are welcome to enter HIS House as long as they say “I DO” to Torah as they did at the base of Mt Sanai and turn away from pagan worship i.e. christmas & easter that YHVH told us of & spoke against in the writings of the Prophets. To be in Covenant is to fully embrace YHVH’s Sabbath, Festivals which are Holy Convocations & all HIS instructions for our daily lives that are written in the in the Torah.
YHVH has never been pleased with disobedient children but HE knows none can be perfect while in the flesh, but we are to make our best effort in pleasing HIM according to HIS Torah.

This is a good representation of how a cult operates we see many of this within the Mormon belief system and how they indoctrinate their members.
http://www.letusreason.org/culteac.htm
so the house of Judah doesn’t need the salavation we find in Christ?
Until you realizze that Yah’shua did NOT come to form a new church called Christianity, you will continue in blindness.
Christianity is a label derived of men, not Yah’shua or YHVH. Therin lies the problem, everyone & their labels that continue to pit brethren against brethren with no regard to YHVH & His teaching what so ever becaus ethey are so consumed by their own carnal minds to see the light
“As far as the Lame Stream Media is concerned. As of right now Mormonism isn’t a cult. It is very mainstream.
After Romney gets the nomination Mormonism will be torn apart and ridiculed as the biggest cult in the history of the world. Every little questionable practice will be examined ad nauseam. It will make Free Republic Mormon discussions look tame. This is an obvious setup for the republicans.
I wish more people could see it.”
Agreed. That’s exactly why the Dems and the lame stream media are doing all this “Romney is the GOP candidate with the best chance to beat Obama” spin. If Romney wins the nomination, they will then spin “anyone is votes for a Mormon against Obama is racist” 24/7 until the election.
“But, If Romney gets the nomination it will be the first time we have a guy running that thinks he is going to be a God versus one that already thinks he is one. “
Truth.
Multiple leadership changes is irrelevant.
A cult is a religion that presents itself as Christian, yet introduces people to a different Jesus than the one who was born in Jerusalem a couple thousand years.
If the teachings of the Bible are corrected, those who fall for this deception are being robbed of a salvation experience with God. If they are not introduced to the genuine Jesus they are lost.
The cults use the same language as Christianity, but with different meanings. They shroud the deception well, and one has to press hard to find out what they are really saying.
Christians differ on many theological points, but those differences should not cause us to separate from one another. But there are fundamentals facts that are absolutely essential to being a true believer. We cannot tolerate false teachings on those fundamentals.
Those fundamentals center on the deity of Jesus, on His birth, His sacrificial death, His resurrection and on the salvation He provided to men.
When Christians find someone deceiving people with a false gospel we treat it with the same seriousness as someone giving children in the neighborhood candy laced with drugs or razor blades. We know the truth of God, of salvation through Jesus, of hell, and of the sin nature of man. If someone misses God’s grace because they embraced a deadly counterfeit it is an unspeakable tragedy. I’ve known people who wasted much of their lives in cults, and were scarred for years even after they found the truth.
If Christianity is just a “be nice” country club, then we can hang out with cultists. They just have a different focus of their club and are simply competition for members.
But if Christianity is a life and death battle with powers and principalities and rulers in high places then the cultist is an agent of enemy forces luring unsuspecting people to their destruction. His teachings must be openly opposed to make the differences between his gospel and God’s gospel evident to all.
I don’t care about the LDS’ dogma. I care about how it is increasingly browbeating its members into open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. This MUST be stopped by its membership.
