“The Mormon faith has an addendum to the Bible ..it is called the book of Mormon.”
Before they go writing addenda to the Bible, it might be advisable to read what the Bible has to say about adding anything to it!
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
19 percent of Republicans say they are less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate.
Only 4 percent of Republicans said they are less likely to vote for a candidate if he is black.

Oh dear...
Praises Jesus in its hymns.

Actually Morm,onism “Praises Joey Smith in its hymns.”
The Mormon song, “praise to the man” is about the man Joey Smith not the man Jesus Christ...
BTW do you have any of those hymns you claim they sing about their jesus ???
prays in Jesuss name
______________________________
and you know this about the Mormons ...how ???
teaches Jesus,
_______________________________
The Mormons do not acknowledge the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible
They never have...

“The Mormon Church teaches Jesus, prays in Jesuss name,Praises Jesus in its hymns. “
They mean someone different than the Biblical Christ.
TN,
You say “do you have any of those hymns you claim they sing about their jesus ???”
Are you suggesting that Mormons do not have hymns about Jesus in their hymnal, or that they do not sing hymns about Jesus? Not sure I follow you here.
You say do you have any of those hymns you claim they sing about their jesus ???
_______________________________________
Yes
In Post # 3 jwatz49 said: The mormon church....Praises Jesus in its hymns.
So in Post # 23 Nana asked jwatz49: BTW do you have any of those hymns you claim they sing about their jesus ???

Oh, OK. For a second there I thought you might be implying that Mormons do not sing hymns about Jesus, and I am certain that you knew better than that.
Too Late!!

___________________________________________
No I was implying that until you come up with some proof that they do sing hymns about the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible, the subject is left at “Mormons do not sing hymns about Jesus”
so yes I did “know better than that”
I knopw while Mormons sing praise songs about Joey Smith as their savior who shed his blood for them...
The Mormons dont sing about the LORD Jesus Christ as their God and Savior who shed His Blood on the cross and died to save them...
So the invitation is still open...
Supply such a song or hymn...
Second, the vast majority of the hymns we sing are about Jesus. In fact, I seem to remember it was just the other day that this crowd was complaining that Mormons stole too many hymns from non-Mormon sources.
So, when a orthodox Christian sings "A Mighty Fortress" they are singing about Jesus, but when a Mormon sings that same hymn they are not?
I know, I know, when a Mormon talks (or sings) about Jesus, it is the wrong Jesus. I understand that that is the key difference in these discussions. We can certainly discuss that without having to resort to falsehood, can we?

Upon the Cross of Calvary
1. Upon the cross of Calvary
They crucified our Lord
And sealed with blood the sacrifice
That sanctified his word.
2. Upon the cross he meekly died
For all mankind to see
That death unlocks the passageway
Into eternity.
3. Upon the cross our Savior died,
But, dying, brought new birth
Through resurrections miracle
To all the sons of earth.
bttt
That death unlocks the passageway
Into eternity.
___________________________________
Since Adam and Eve humans have been eternal, livikng or dead...
What has this got to do with the LORD Jesus Christ ???
His name is not mentioned in that song
“And sealed with blood the sacrifice
That sanctified his word.”
Fancy words but are they intended to mean anything ???
BTW dont ever call me a liar again Mormon...
Just because the exposure of the blasphemy of the pagan Mormon religion is inconvenient to you doesnt give you leave to attack the Christians in these threads...
As to the songs the Mormons sing, theres more “praise” in that well sang song to the mormon lord Joey Smith than just about any other song in the Mormon song book...
But since you dont seem to have a song that might have the name if not the right one heres one right out of the Mormons song book that does have your jesus christ in the verses...
In 1856 the Mormons published a hymnal which contained a hymn entitled, “We Believe In Our God.” This hymn plainly taught that Adam was the father of Christ:
We believe in our God the great Prince of His race,
The Archangel Michael, the Ancient of Days,
Our own Father Adam, earth’s Lord, as is plain,
Who’ll counsel and fight for his children again.
We believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, who, in love
To his brethren and sisters, came down from above
To die to redeem them from death, and to teach
To mortals and spirits the Gospel we preach.
(Sacred Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Liverpool, 1856, p. 375, as quoted in “The Position of Adam in Latter-day Saint Scripture and Theology,” p. 16.)
What remains is deceit or lies. Intentionally misleading, by saying things like "I heard that . . ." or by subtlety (or not so subtlety) changing the rules along the way, or intentionally leaving out key information are way this is done. When it is done in an attempt to prove another religion wrong it is disgraceful.
You state "The Mormons dont sing about the LORD Jesus Christ as their God and Savior who shed His Blood on the cross and died to save them..." That is not true. I provided a hymn that shows it. Instead of correcting your statement, you changed the rules. I guess a hymn praising the Lord and the Savior but not using the word Jesus was not good enough.
At the risk of spamming this thread, here are a small handful of the hymns in the LDS hymnal that praise Jesus (in various names used to distinguish Him).
If this is not enough, there are a couple hundred more.
102 - Jesus, Lover of My Soul
1. Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past.
Safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last.
2. Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee.
Leave, oh, leave me not alone;
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed;
All my help from thee I bring.
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
Text: Charles Wesley, 17071788
Music: Joseph P. Holbrook, 18221888
196 - Jesus, Once of Humble Birth
1. Jesus, once of humble birth,
Now in glory comes to earth.
Once he suffered grief and pain;
Now he comes on earth to reign.
Now he comes on earth to reign.
2. Once a meek and lowly Lamb,
Now the Lord, the great I Am.
Once upon the cross he bowed;
Now his chariot is the cloud.
Now his chariot is the cloud.
3. Once he groaned in blood and tears;
Now in glory he appears.
Once rejected by his own,
Now their King he shall be known.
Now their King he shall be known.
4. Once forsaken, left alone,
Now exalted to a throne.
Once all things he meekly bore,
But he now will bear no more.
But he now will bear no more.

136 - I Know That My Redeemer Lives
1. I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
2. He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my souls complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
3. He lives, my kind, wise heavnly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, Ill sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
4. He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!

67 - Glory to God on High
1. Glory to God on high!
Let heavn and earth reply.
Praise ye his name.
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore.
Sing aloud evermore:
Worthy the Lamb!
2. Jesus, our Lord and God,
Bore sins tremendous load.
Praise ye his name.
Tell what his arm has done,
What spoils from death he won.
Sing his great name alone:
Worthy the Lamb!
3. Let all the hosts above
Join in one song of love,
Praising his name.
To him ascribed be
Honor and majesty
Thru all eternity:
Worthy the Lamb!

83 - Guide Us, O Thou Great Jehovah
1. Guide us, O thou great Jehovah,
Guide us to the promised land.
We are weak, but thou art able;
Hold us with thy powrful hand.
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit,
Feed us till the Savior comes,
Feed us till the Savior comes.
2. Open, Jesus, Zions fountains;
Let her richest blessings come.
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Guard us to this holy home.
Great Redeemer, Great Redeemer,
Bring, oh, bring the welcome day,
Bring, oh, bring the welcome day!
3. When the earth begins to tremble,
Bid our fearful thoughts be still;
When thy judgments spread destruction,
Keep us safe on Zions hill,
Singing praises, Singing praises,
Songs of glory unto thee,
Songs of glory unto thee.

193 - I Stand All Amazed
1. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,
That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.
[Chorus]
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
2. I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.
3. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.
Text and music: Charles H. Gabriel, 18561932
141 - Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
1. Jesus, the very thought of thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far thy face to see
And in thy presence rest.
2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memry find
A sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of mankind!
3. O hope of evry contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4. Jesus, our only joy be thou,
As thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
And thru eternity.
Text: Attr. to Bernard of Clairvaux, ca. 10911153; trans. by Edward Caswall, 18141878
Music: John B. Dykes, 18231876
258 - O Thou Rock of Our Salvation
1. O thou Rock of our salvation,
Jesus, Savior of the world,
In our poor and lowly station
We thy banner have unfurled.
[Chorus]
Gather round the standard bearer;
Gather round in strength of youth.
Evry day the prospects fairer
While were battling for the truth.
2. We a war gainst sin are waging;
Were contending for the right.
Evry day the battles raging;
Help us, Lord, to win the fight.
3. Onward, onward, well be singing
As were marching firm and true,
Each succeeding battle ringing,
Earnest of what we can do.
4. When for all that weve contended,
When the fight of faith weve won,
When the strife and battles ended,
And our labor here is done,
[Chorus after fourth verse]
Then, O Rock of our salvation,
Jesus, Savior of the world,
Take us from our lowly station;
Let our flag with thee be furled.
Text: Joseph L. Townsend, 18491942
Music: William Clayson, 18401887
65 - Come, All Ye Saints Who Dwell on Earth
1. Come, all ye Saints who dwell on earth,
Your cheerful voices raise,
Our great Redeemers love to sing,
And celebrate his praise,
Our great Redeemers love to sing,
And celebrate his praise.
2. His love is great; he died for us.
Shall we ungrateful be,
Since he has marked a road to bliss
And said, Come, follow me,
Since he has marked a road to bliss
And said, Come, follow me?
3. The straight and narrow way weve found!
Then let us travel on,
Till we, in the celestial world,
Shall meet where Christ is gone,
Till we, in the celestial world,
Shall meet where Christ is gone.
4. And there well join the heavnly choir
And sing his praise above,
While endless ages roll around,
Perfected by his love,
While endless ages roll around,
Perfected by his love.
Text: William W. Phelps, 17921872.
Music: William B. Bradbury, 18161868
134 - I Believe in Christ
1. I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him Ill sing;
Ill raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is Gods Son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his; his name be praised.
2. I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
As Marys Son he came to reign
Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.
I believe in Christ, who marked the path,
Who did gain all his Father hath,
Who said to men: Come, follow me,
That ye, my friends, with God may be.
3. I believe in Christmy Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
Ill worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
From Satans grasp he sets me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.
4. I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him Ill gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: Ye shall obtain.
I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him Ill stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.
Text: Bruce R. McConkie, 19151985
Music: John Longhurst, b. 1940
89 - The Lord Is My Light
1. The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near.
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;
This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.
[Chorus]
The Lord is my light;
He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads,
He leads me along.
2. The Lord is my light; tho clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?
3. The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength.
I know in his might Ill conquer at length.
My weakness in mercy he covers with powr,
And, walking by faith, I am blest evry hour.
4. The Lord is my light, my all and in all.
There is in his sight no darkness at all.
He is my Redeemer, my Savior, and King.
With Saints and with angels his praises Ill sing.
Text: James Nicholson, 18281876
Music: John R. Sweney, 18371899
By the way, I still remember our discussion about Mormons not singing Christmas hymns or Easter hymns. We have had similar discussions before.
Praise to the Man!
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Praise to his mem’ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav’n while the earth lauds his fame.
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know ‘Brother Joseph’ again.
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
