“When will someone ask Mitt Romney if the Mormon church ever taught that all other churches are apostate?”
Every other Christian denomination I can think of believes that THEIR brand of Christianity is the one true way. While we are discussing whether we Mormons are Christian, Christians are being slaughtered all over the world for belief in Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Now, I have a question for you: Are Jews and Catholics, not to mention all the other faiths with which you disagree, also going to hell along with all us Mormons?
I have a Q for you, Saundra...(SHF, I suggest you not answer her Q unless she answers this one):
I have an index of your "scriptures" Saundra published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons). Here's what the unique "scriptures" that Saundra believes in teaches:
"O the wise, and the learned and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord, wo, wo, wo be unto them...for they shall be thrust down into hell." (2 Nephi 28:15, Book of Mormon)
Do you believe Saundra that those whom Mormon leaders consider to be teaching "false doctrines" will "be thrust down into hell." Yes? No?
The Lds index adds these summaries from another chapter in the Book of Mormon, the eighth chapter of Moroni. On p. 367, it says: he who is cut off in thoughts of baptism for little children MUST go down to hell." AND on p. 371: "Moro. 8:20-21 he who says little children need baptism is in danger of endless torment."
Tell us, Saundra, since Roman Catholics teach baptism is for little children -- and so do some Protestants (Lutherans, for example) -- do you believe they "MUST go down to hell" as the Book of Mormon teaches in Moroni 8:14?
Joseph Smith said it would be "more tolerable for heathen in judgment than for those who reject elders." (Lds Doctrine & Covenants 45:54)
So, because we reject Mormon elders, Saundra, you think it's going to be more tolerable in the spirit world than for the heathen? Yes? No?
Btw, Saundra, the Book of Mormon teaches there is a "misery that never dies" (Mormon 8:38)...so think about that in conjunction with even the Mormon version of hell and outer darkness.
There are lots of false teachings that are not Mormonism. The question is, “Has the Mormon church ever taught that all other religions are abominations or apostate?”
And absent from this picture are mormons - who slink into areas that have already been reached by Christians to lie, cheat and steal sheep.
Again, with the judgements SD?
Sheesh, obtuse, masochism, or obstinate. I can’t figure out which because you’ve been shown to be wrong too many times to count and you keep coming back with the same lame analogies.
Mormonism condemned any who were not mormon to hell (outer darkness), it still condemns many to the same fate. I sure hope ole Joey is turning on a spit down there, cause he deserves to be. Lying, thieving, adultering pedophile that he was.
According to the Bible statements, if Jews and others do not accept the Savior Jesus Christ, they are judged accordingly. It’s not what I or others believe Sandy, it’s whether or not YOU BELIEVE what the Bible (GOD) says.
I suspect you don’t because you keep attempting to paint the God of the Bible as cruel and mean. Something you have stated repeatedly in the past. Well, God is a jealous God. Did you ever study that? Read the Bible to find the answer to your own insipid question(s).
Mormon god, an exalted man who earned his way to heaven/godhood and is still working on his “perfection”.
But not every Christian denomination brands every other as "apostates" (like the Mormon church does with every Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox church body).
When Smith said right out of the starting block that the Mormon church was the "only true and living church on the face of the earth" (Lds "scripture" Doctrine & Covenants 1:30), that implied all others were false and dead...and the Lds church has made more than enough statements since then so that we don't have to wonder about implications.
Mormons have joined the long-standing Muslim chorus they've sung about Christians for over 1,000 years -- that the Christians are all "infidels." How "nice" of the Mormons to be singing in full harmony with the Muslims, eh?
Then your thinker is misaligned.
Hogwash Sandy. All other churches agree on the basics. Catholic and Orthodox accept Lutheran, evangelical, and each other’s baptisms.
NO ONE accepts Mormon baptism.
That is just a typical pat Mormon answer that isn’t really true. There isn’t the infighting that the LDS claim between Christian churches, particularly abroad.
Anyone who does not accept Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross is going to Hell. And Mormons don’t believe in a personal relationship with Christ. Or do you need me to post McConkie’s talk again?
Funny all the Christian denominations I know say “Jesus Christ” is the only way.
The only people who go to hell, go their of their own free will.
