Free Republic can no longer post Salt Lake Tribunebased threads...but we can still link to them. Just last week, the Trib ran this very significant article:

Mormons increasingly drawn to Holy Week rituals

For a fresh thread, see: Easter essays ['In the LDS church it never really hit me what Jesus did for me']

[Salvation]

There are many stories at this link.

They apparently are drawn to the truth of Christianity, but afraid to walk out of the darkness of Mormonism.

[Biggirl]

It is God calling them to the truth of Jesus and Christian faith.

Last of all, as I have to go now

I invite all Christians to worship the Resurrected Lord Jesus Christ with us at his Church.

And would encourage you in Christ’s spirit to worhip him and not the implement (cross) of his death that in many ways has become an idol.

Mormons can’t promote Easter since they claim Joseph Smith decides who and who does not get into Heaven. That contradicts the Bible; and why would they want to point out that Jesus arose from the grave and Smith did not.

Gee, follow someone who arose from the grave or someone who did not? Not a tough choice for me.

True Christianity preaches the cross of Christ.

I post these graphics because:

(1) I have heard what former ldsers and what well-read researchers have said about lds beliefs., i.e. the lds believes that God did not create everything out of nothing.

(2) I have had CURRENT lds people tell me that what I am saying is true, but that I shouldn't say it, because they feel uncomfortable about discussing the issue and its implications.

(3) I believe that God's WORD is living and eternal and that He can use it to scrape away false doctrines from the souls of people.

(4) I post these because the false doctrines of human pre-existence and of eternal marriage are FALSE. They are useful hooks to get people to stay in the lds, but those doctrines are USELESS.

Why?

(A.) They diminish the creative power of God, that He created our spirits out of nothing, and

(B.) the eternal marriage doctrine defames and contradicts the teaching that Christians WILL be married in eternity. We will be married to Christ .... but NOT to each other.

The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.

They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.

They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.
