CAUTION!! CHRISTIAN BASHING THREAD!!
This thread does not praise God. It weakens faith.
No apology there.
Misdirected "faith" absolutely needs to be redirected to a strong foundation.
Misdirected faith, strong or weak, is one of the foundational problems to begin with.
Btw, why does this post of yours ONLY show up on Mormon threads?
Where is it on Islamic and Scientology threads?
Or is it that you hypocritically sanction the "weakening" of faith in the gods of Scientology and Islam, after all?
(I guess you failed to click on the link provided in post #11, eh Laotzu?)
The link specifically cites 1 Peter 2:9: 9 But YOU are a chosen PEOPLE, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
(But we'll overlook your overlook)
Mormons are NOT Christian. The reason Mormonism is not Christian is that it denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity. Here is a basic list of what true Christianity teaches as essential doctrine according to the Bible.
There is only one God in all existence (Exodus 20:1-4; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8; 45:5).
Jesus is divine (John 1:1, 14; 8:24; Col. 2:9)
Forgiveness of sins is by grace alone without works (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 3:28; 4:1-5)
Jesus rose from the dead physically (John 2:19-21; Luke 24:39) The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:1-4)
Mormonism denies that there is only one God in all existence and also denies the forgiveness of sins alone in Christ alone. Therefore, it is outside Christianity. It is not a Christian religion.
Though Mormonism teaches that Jesus is God in flesh, it teaches that he is "a" god in flesh, one of three gods that comprise the office of the Trinity (Articles of Faith, by Talmage, pp. 35-40). These three gods are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. This is in direct contradiction of the biblical doctrine that there is only one God
Hypocrisy posting of the day.
Except mormonISM is not Christianity, so your alert is invalided.
Wrong, its not bashing Christians and every one of us who sees the errors of Mormonism and comes to the REAL Christ praises God for threads and info like this.
And it is biblical to weaken faith in a false God.
