“I really don’t know what to say to you. Mormonism and Fascist-Socialist-Communist are comparable? I agree the book of Mormon is fake, but they still acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. For that reason, I think you are over-reacting. Show me a perfect Church in America? Is there one? After-all, Jesus hasn’t come back yet, and when he does we will have to be all open to hear about where we have all failed, I don’t think it will be too smart to be so judgemental. And also, I really do disagree that Hillary is no different then Mitt, I mean really? Do you really understand who Hillary is and what she stands for, it doesn’t sound like it.”

First of all, I hardly know where to begin in my response. You seem to be so emotional about the subject that I don’t wish to upset you further, but I am honestly answering the questions posted to me. To give a PC answer would be disingenuous.

Your assertion that Mormons acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah is incorrect. In order to claim a belief in Jesus as the Messiah, one must believe that Jesus saves fully and completely - plus and minus nothing. Mormonism does not proclaim that truth. Indeed, they reject it. Salvation for them is through their own works. I do not make these ‘judgments” by my own reasoning. I make them according to the Scriptures. In them we find all truth. It is our standard. Anything that falls short of the absolute truth in something as important as the Gospel must be rejected outright.

We’re not talking about an “imperfect” church. We’re talking about a false religion that damns people to Hell for eternity. That concern is far more damaging than anything Hillary can do to our country. Hell is for eternity. Hillary is for 4 - 8 years.

Homeshoolmom,

I think we need to understand our terminology.

Mormons believe that Salvation is a complete free gift. All those who lived on Earth have been ransomed by Jesus Christ. In fact this view is even less work based than a typical Christian’s. One could say our view is vastly more Jesus dependent than vastly many others, because it is FREE FREE FREE totally independent of being in the right faith or not!

We believe also, however, that Rewards in addition to our salvation as stated by Jesus in the New Testament, is a function of our works and our faith in Jesus Christ.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is my Messiah, my Savior, my Lord, and Personal Friend. The Holy Ghost is my witness. Heavenly Father sent His Only begotten Son to die for me.

The things you said in your post insult my Savior and hurt His tender feelings.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Your statements about my Church are not true.

I used to be a Baptist and I used to be a Pentecostal. Baptists think the Pentecostals are full of the devil because the Pentecostals speak in tongues and believe in “holiness” living. The Pentecostals think the Baptists are full of the devil because the Baptists believe in “once saved always saved” and because the Baptists don’t speak in tongues.

I became confused by the double speak and contradictions. I don’t know what your religion is but I would say you need to be very careful about telling other people of faith that they are bound for hell in a handbasket. No one knows my heart except my Savior. He will be my Judge. Jesus is the ONLY way home to Heavenly Father. I love Jesus Christ and I am not ashamed of Him.

There’s a whole industry of anti-Mormon literature, tapes and videos. That doesn’t mean you have to swallow it all hook line and sinker.

You have a right to your opinion, I'm not being emotional I am just a little concerned. Of all the ways people go to hell you are worried about where someone goes to Church? I really don' think God is going to be sending decent people to hell over things like that, I think he is talking about the dangerous phony ones, you know the ones who rape their secretaries and con people out of money for their own selfish gain such as wealth or adulation all in the name of God. By the way, these types are not as uncommon as you might believe and they are far more harmful then anything the Mormons might be teaching. I stand by my assertion that the Mormon Church is just one among many imperfect Churches.
