I agree. The LDS Church does not exclude the possibility of other gods, but for us we know there is but one God, the Father, and that we are to worship no other gods.
IF there are other gods, it does not concern us. That knowledge and faith will not save any man, as all men must come to the Father through the Son.
Note the the failure to exclude the possibility of other gods does not alter our first article of faith - that we believe in God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. That is it.
How Mormon's deal with data presented to them by those they call ANTI's:
1. How you interpret it is wrong... |
Who are you to judge another person’s faith?
Is this what Christ commanded when he said, “Judge not that ye be not judged?” Or how about casting out the beam first?
That's a POWERFUL belief!
Cite another definition. It is clear the the term Christianity includes all who claim the teachings of Jesus Christ as their own. The LDS Church not only does that, but calls itself the very Church of Jesus Christ because it is the churc of no man, but was organized personally by Jesus Christ.
It is not the chuch of Roman Catholics, the church of Martin Luther or of any man.
Who are you to judge Latter-day Saints that their belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is not genuine?
How Christian is your judgment of your brothers and sisters? Where did Christ ever condemn the faith of those who claimed to believe in Him and who sought to do Christ’s will?
“Note the the failure to exclude the possibility of other gods does not alter our first article of faith - that we believe in God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. That is it.”
Talking out of both sides of your mouth tortdog. You sound like a lawyer. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot—you are one.
Scientology is a newer religion than Mormonism...

Don't make fun of them,
they have a right to have
their moronic beliefs respected.

Who has a BODY; just like Jesus.
Anyone who is relentless about posting facts about Mormonism?
I've had this happen when using a regular computer.
Is the trinity theory without internal inconsistencies?
LIAR!!
HATER!!!
BIGOT!!!
Do NOT say that he's a FUNDIE like those heretical NON-mormon people over there in Colorado City!!
THEY ain't MORMON!
They just THINK they're old timey!!
--Mormondude(Perhaps I was a bit emotional. You probably merely mis-typed what you wished to say. APOLOGIZE and all will be forgiven.)
I won't get a chance 'til MAY.
God only knows what will have happened by then!
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Haven't we TOLD you about using FACTS to try to give your scandalous remarks a touch of veracity?
You KNOW that these words are NOT found in ANY of our Scripture!
--MormonDude(They may in the future; for we are ALWAYS ready for new words from GOD.)
Christ specifically and repeatedly commanded his followers to judge a person's religious faith.
The verses you cite, Matthew 7:1-5, do not prohibit all types of judging. In fact, carrying on with scripture where you left off:
Matt. 7:15 Be careful of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise with careful discernment.
John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.Censorious, hypocritical, self-righteous, or other forms of unfair judgments are indeed forbidden by the text you cited in your response, but in order to fulfill the commandments that follow, it is necessary dogs and swine (v. 6) from one's own brothers (vv. 3-5).
Hey!!
Don’t YOU start using color and BIG fonts like that loudmouthed ELSIE!
—MormonDude(Can’t we all just get along?)
I looked into this some while commuting, and found this entry at Wiki:
>Though not mentioned in canonical LDS scripture, some Latter Day Saints infer the possible existence of other gods and goddesses. However, they aren’t known, acknowledged, and have no relevance to this Earth or humanity
So LDS scripture (which includes the Bible) does clearly state that there are more than the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (with all subject to the Father). But one could infer such.
Note that the Catholic church is also noted as possibly falling into the definition. I also read that Islam criticizes Christianity for claiming that the Father has a Son as it is clear evidence of two gods and thus polytheistic.
You might recall that I noted this issue in pointing out the cause of the creation of the trinity theory hundreds of years after revelation had been “closed” and restricted to the accepted writ in the Bible.
I always find it interesting that those who do not want their practices and policies examined tend to trot out those few verses; hoping to stifle any more questions.
Can you show me an example of where Christ tore down the faith of a person who was not from his own faith?
Oops. That should have read that LDS scripture does NOT specifically claim that there are gods other than the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost (who are one with the Father over all).
