When I read these anti Mormon rants, it makes me so grateful and happy to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,

“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

CTR to y’all!

We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

Galatians 3 1. You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?

John 6 28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" 29. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Mormons are Christians on steroids!

Didn't the WORLD just see some fellow on TV, weeping and crying and wishing that he'd NEVER done those drugs?

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:12-13

Sorry; but they are NOT 'christians' at all.

SURELY you would not DISAGREE or OPPOSE what a LEADER has said!

"There are those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints do not believe in the traditional Christ.

 

No, I don't.

The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.”

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith

[Elsie]

I’ll let you speak for yourself and what you have “learned”.

I just wish that ANYormon could tell the world just what Joseph Smith claimed to have 'learned' about PRESBYTERIANism that was untrue!

Any of you feel up to it?

How 'bout you STERIOD users out there?

Want a chance to bat?

[Elsie]

Then the rest of us are spiritual eunuchs?

The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.

While, the Book of ABRAHAM is, is, is....

Well it's just...

[Elsie]

Ya just gotta love them ... and so forths!

Jesus died for me, too. I am a Mormon. Have a great day.

Mormons are Christians on steroids!

You mean like this:

include liver tumors, jaundice, fluid retention, and high blood pressure. Side effects include the following: for men shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts; for women growth of facial hair, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, deepened voice; for adolescents growth halted prematurely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated puberty changes. Researchers report that users suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from FEELINGS of INVINCIBILITY.

No thanks.

There they go again...ALWAYS claiming to be "speshul"...never a better place for THIS!

[Cold Heat]

Threads like this do nothing but support my decision long ago to never participate in ANY organized religion of any kind.

[ejonesie22]

Saundra, Jesus died for all mankind.

All one has to do is accept his gift, however it has to be HIS, the gift from the one true Christ, not some fictional character who simply bears his name and is acknowledged as one of many gods by “followers’ who put his name on their buildings.

Perhaps one day you will understand, as an ever growing number of former Mormons are doing everyday, that God does not play tricks or write fiction.

[Godzilla]

Mormons are Christians on steroids!

More like LDS are Christians on LSD. It is a belief in a whole chain of lies.

Bom is a completely fictional document - where's the bones?
The boa is based upon a Egyptian prayer scroll that has nothing to do with Abraham

smith never had angels appear to him

there was never plates of gold

You have sold your soul for a bowl of porrage, instead of the eternal feast offered to you by God.

You believe the Bible - which one, the KJV or the version that smith 'corrected' by the power of God?

[svcw]

I can dig that sentiment. I don’t much care for “organized religion” I instead choose to care for and associate with the “Body and family of Christ”.
