I haven’t seen Mormons bash the Bible, is that true? I haven’t seen it. If so, the leaders will have a lot of ‘splainin to do.

Bottom line, do Mormons believe Jesus died and rose again in payment for our sins? Because I believe if the foundation is Christ, and God knows the hearts, then any leader of any denomination is going to be in trouble for misdirecting the flock, but the flock will still be His if they put their trust in Christ.

What is there about the Mormon church that denies the glory and power of Jesus Christ?

The rest just sounds like noise to me, like battling over speaking in tongues or a thousand different other differences between denominations.

Sccording to the mormons the Cross ha=s noithing to do with what they call “atonement”...

They also believe that the blood their mormon jesus (who was just once a man) is not strong enough to cover sin

(or pay for their sins...

They have to save themselves and their ancestors through necro water baptism...

(Thats what the multi million dollar mormon temples are built for...)

>>> I haven’t seen Mormons bash the Bible, is that true? I haven’t seen it. If so, the leaders will have a lot of ‘splainin to do.

They don’t need to when their cannon of scripture does such an excellent job of it alone.

When a Mormon stands up and declares that he/she believes Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that the BOM is the word of God, they are stating emphatically that EVERYTHING in the BOM is true... You cannot have it both ways. If you stand behind Joseph Smith, you stand behind everything he said or wrote in the name of God... and if what he wrote did not come from God, that leaves you with the ruler of this world as your deity.

if the foundation is Christ
__________________________________________

THer LORD Jesus Christ who is God is the foundation for the Chrsitians...

The savior and foundation for the mormons, or LDS and fLDS, is Joseph Smith Jr born in Vermont in 1805 and a occultist, “money digger” child rapist, adulterer, bank frauder and false prophet...

Would you consider THIS to be BASHING?




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
