Mormon.org is from the Mormon perspective. You can find other sites that are not, but develop our belief system from their own thoughts.

We don't use crosses. True.

The reasoning is this, if your friend is killed by a gun, do you take to wearing a gun around your neck? Perhaps you do and thats OK.

It is not a big deal, I love my family and they are not Mormons and they go to churches with crosses on them. I am not perturbed in the least. We live and let live. We are actually on the same side politically.

Christ said.. "TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME"!

By the way... your church believes that satan is also a son of GOD and that YOU, yourself will be a god if you do everything the good mormon way. As nice as some of you folks are... I still think of you as Non-Christians.

OH, please... do us a favor... just say you are "mormons".

mormon was not CHRIST was he?

Is a church w/o a cross a church, or just another building?

Jesus was crucified on a cross and is our Saviour, not just a mere friend. Through His death on the cross we are saved. Knowing who Jesus is, is therefore very important. Many years ago I read Dr. Walter Martin's "Kingdom of the Cults". The chapter on Mormonism is very detailed with sources from the Mormon religion.

Thanks for the link.

Here's one for you:

Thanks, I had forgotten the reason, and I now recall what she said. It was that they don't like to dwell on what they consider to be the negative! Your explanation reminded me!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

"We live and let live"
I work for a woman who is a Mormon and that is her ammo. "Live and let live."

So infact that I am a Christian and have opnions on different issues is WRONG! She has tolerance for everything except for what it says in the Bible, which "Judges" people and tells them how to live and what God expects from us.

She thinks being nice is everything. God has a lot of nerve for telling us what is exceptable and what is not!!
