Their saying is, “ as man is now, God once was. As God is now, man can become “
Also, a song came on my Pandora station called, “ Joseph, praise the man “.... really ? Blasphemous in my worldview ...was appalled that this is one of their hymns
Like asking where you have to go in Pakistan for a Scotch & soda. Have to know the right place....
True fact: there really is a Scotch distillery in Pakistan. Try finding that in Utah.
Just heard that from our pastor this Sunday.
Every time “immigration reform” is brought up as an issue LDS leadership sides with the Democrats! The church’s official stance is to support Utah state government that always sides with the Democrats in D.C. Call it what you will they do support open borders! Also illegal immigration. LDS is in direct agreement with Democrats on not “separating families” and “allowing people here illegally to legally work here” and actively support illegals through church programs. All of this is the stance of open border supporters. I don’t disagree with a church reaching out to help poor no matter where or how they are here but under current immigration law it is actually illegal to help illegals and is not enforced.
LDS officially does not support a path to citizenship and claims the U.S. has a right to control the border, yet they do support/assist illegals here, and support their right to work here and not be deported. That is contrary to our laws. They supported Clinton’s stance on illegals and now support Obama’s stance which is darn sure open border policy.
As to the border if immigration laws are not followed that is essentially an open border.
I understand the LDS history and know many LDS went to Mexico to escape persecution here, there is an LDS community south of me in Mexico. There are family ties on both sides of the border and in fact Mitt Romney’s family came from LDS community in Mexico near me. I understand their reasons for not thinking we should enforce all of our immigration laws and that illegals should be able to work here without deportation, that families should not be separated...it all goes to their history and faith.
Does not mean I agree, but to claim they are against open borders and just leaving illegals alone is not honest with their position.
The governor of Utah also said Utah would welcome Muslim refugees with open arms when other governors said they would not. I understand their stance- but sure do not agree with it.
I have close friends and family that are LDS, the church likely does not stand up and announce they support open borders, yet they do.
My LDS friends in AZ live right on the border and want the border secured and illegals deported. They told me that is not the stance of the LDS church and the closer you get to Salt Lake the more likely members are to support open borders and illegal immigration.

Mormon leader: Obama’s immigration plan matches LDS values
Indeed, but most of them don’t support it in one breath and try to deny it in the next...
Exposing lies is not bashing.
Feel free to hop to another thread that does interest you.
Many are good people. But many act good because they are trying to earn their way into heaven. It just does not work that way.
Amen
Tell me, what was it like the last time you were there?
Tell me, what was it like the last time you were there?
You do not earn your way into heaven being a good person.
Good is a relative term.
If,you want to earn your way in, you have to live a perfect life.
Only one guy did it and that is who I trust for my salvation. I try to be as good as I can be, because I am grateful for Him paying my unpayable debt. But I know me being good has nothing to do with me getting into heaven. My trust and belief in Jesus is why I am going to heaven.
That is what His words, and His book, have told me.
It is not for us to decide though, is it? Jesus is the Light, and the Way. I have met some very fine LDS members along the way.
We have alone a small time on this Earth. We have a much greater enemy to confront and is sure isn’t the LDS.
that wasn’t a prophecy, it was a captain obvious statement by Smith.
I talked to Charley a few times. Not exactly the high light of my career. 😖😱😩
Same here and one gave me the best paying job I ever had and treated me well. I am grateful and thankful for it to God, not Joe Smith and co.
I met a couple in the doctor’s office waiting room of all places. I simply asked how it was possible that the golden relics, of such recent times, were nowhere to be seen, yet there are other Christian relics from a couple thousand years ago - and most not as durable as gold.
Well, I only have a couple of Mormon friends, but they never told me any of those. In fact we never much discussed religion at all.
