What do you find to be inaccurate it it? Honestly.

Well, they Got the name of the church right, everything else was at least ninety if not 180 degrees from our beliefs, I'll just hit a few high points of absurdity.

• God having sex with Mary? Mormons believe in the Virgin Birth, hello, anybody understand the meaning of the word VIRGIN over there?
• Satan and Jesus being Brothers, I can prove that all of us are brothers with the Bible, so of course Jesus, (God's biological son), and any created being (thus being a child) can be called brothers. But the ninety degree out of whack part is it's not significant doctrine, and many churches have this as a part of their "obscure doctrines" (the Catholics are one) because it's straight from the Bible so it's only value is to shock the uneducated.
• Endless celestial Sex? Get real. Mormons do not believe that. Specifically we do not know how spirits were created by God, only that they were indeed created by God as all things are his creations.

I could Go on and On, but I'm already known for my long posts, Want to know what's wrong with the whole thing? Go Here

IMHO, The rest of it is Equally as wrong and presented in a way designed to freak people out.

Not a very Christlike approach, IMHO.

God having sex with Mary? Mormons believe in the Virgin Birth, hello, anybody understand the meaning of the word VIRGIN over there?

 "The birth of our Savior was as natural as are the births of our children; it
was the result of NATURAL ACTION. He partook of FLESH AND BLOOD--was begotten of his father, as we were of our fathers." ( Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 115).

Christians say Jesus' birth was the result of the Holy Spirit - that it was a spiritual event. For the  Journal of Discourses to teach that it was the result of NATURAL ACTION leave little to the imagination.


Satan and Jesus being Brothers, I can prove that all of us are brothers with the Bible, so of course Jesus, (God's biological son), and any created being (thus being a child) can be called brothers.

I know for a fact that you can not prove that from the Christian Scriptures. But I would welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you.


"But the ninety degree out of whack part is it's not significant doctrine, and many churches have this as a part of their "obscure doctrines""

It may not be significant to you, but it is very significant to Christians. This is because it touches o­n the primary question of the New Testament, namely, Who is Jesus. Is he, as Mormons claim, a man who evolves into God (like all men can), or is he the unique, eternal God in the form of a man? What you find to be an "obscure doctrine" is central to all Christian belief.


"so it's o­nly value is to shock the uneducated."

Have you considered the idea that it is shocking, not because it is misrepresented by others, but because, to anyone familiar with the Scriptures it is, in fact, shocking?


" Not a very Christlike approach, IMHO."

This evidences a misunderstanding. The New Testament is full of example of people addressing and correcting error. Paul got HOT about people who were trying to change or diminish the person or work of Jesus Christ. Exposing erroneous beliefs is not unChristlike.


DelphiUser, were you raised Mormon or did you convert from another set of beliefs?
