Well the problem is that foundationally, you are not Christians. I would think foolishness is something like believing you will get your own planet when you die. Where does it say that in the Bible? Oh wait, it doesn't say that in the Bible.

" I would think foolishness is something like believing you will get your own planet when you die. Where does it say that in the Bible? Oh wait, it doesn't say that in the Bible."

Where does it say that in the Book of Mormon? Or the Doctrine and Covenants? Or Pearl of Great Price?

this is a link to the online version of our scriptures, including the KJV Bible, and it is searchable. I found 291 references to planets, but didn't find anything suggesting we get our own planet when we die. I admit I didn't read every article, either. Maybe you'd like to do so?

Perhaps you heard someone else say we believe that; if so, maybe you should check our our beliefs for yourself. Would you accept the word of a disaffected Baptist, Lutheran, or Catholic, for what those churches believe? Or someone who talked to someone about those churches but never actually investigated them him or herself? I wouldn't. You shouldn't either.

Point of fact: I was a disaffected Baptist, once upon a time. My reasons for disaffection, and the person who caused them, are also the reason I am LDS. My stepfather, a Baptist minister, and the proximate cause of much of my disaffection, also told me not to believe what he said, or what anyone else said, but to read for myself, and think for myself, and to pray for guidance from God. I did, and here I am. I also recognize that my stepfather was a poor excuse for a minister, and not a proper reflection of Baptist beliefs.

God bless you, and enlighten you. Even if you don't convert to my church. We can do a lot more together than we can apart, and we can argue about the theology after the work is done.

That is not LDS doctrine. You neither understand the Mormon doctrine or comprehend the ways of God. Nor do I. His ways are not our ways. BTW, he is the God of many planets and worlds, nto jsut ours.

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Speaking of foolishness, when did Mormons start teaching that you “Get your own planet when you die?” Simple, they don’t. teach that. We do however believe that God has promised us “All that he hath”


>>Where does it say that in the Bible? Oh wait, it doesn't say that in the Bible.

Whew! For a moment there, I thought maybe we were not in agreement with the Bible.

LOL!

Your post is an excellent example of why someone who does not know much about a religion, should not pontificate about why it is “Wrong”
