I’m thinking you won’t get many defenders of that. ;)

Hi ampu,

I find the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be very much in harmony with the Bible. I have come back from Church today where I have learned about the love of God and the mercy of Jesus Christ, about service, kindness, baptism, healing, chastity and prayer, to name some of the topics brought up in meetings and lessons.

We do believe that God did not stop his revelations with the Bible — we don’t hold that the Bible is the only scripture. We believe that he has provided more light and knowledge to the world through additional scripture revealed to prophets ancient and modern.

Best,

Normandy

Why the special treatment of muslims over that of Christians?

Joseph Smith and Mohammed had a lot in common.they hated Christian religions and believed they were of satan, both men were liars and frauds and both liked the idea of multiple wives and saw women as property

[lawsone]

Luke 6:27,28
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
6:37 Judge not and ye shall not be judged: condem not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

[svcw]

I have an idea why not quote the whole section.
Only God can judge a person's heart. I have permission from God Almighty to judge your charterer and to test everything against the Word of God.
If you are going to quote the Word of God know what you are quoting.

[ejonesie22]

There are those things we do with in the Body of Christ, love one another, turn the other cheek, judge not a fellow brothers heart though we can call them on their actions in a loving way if we fear they are being led astray.

Then there are those outside the body. We extend love to those who seek and are lost and expose those who misrepresent the message and purpose of Christ and attack his Church. We are fully allowed to judge false religions, otherwise why go into the world and spread the word if all paths are valid.

A unchristian cult hiding behind Christians scripture s laughable at best, despicable at worse...

Indeed I will give the Muslims credit, they are often upfront about their motives and certainly don't try and pass themselves off as something they are most assuredly not.

Same cannot be said about the LDS when they play “Christian” and use his name whilst slandering in their very doctrine.

Do we consider this to speak under the auspices of the GA, or is it just another 'opinion' (a la the other 'mormon' website)?

[BlueMoose]

1 Cor.26-28
• • •
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

[Godzilla]

Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles focused on the common spiritual heritage of Mormons and Muslims.

Another 'opinion' or a statement understood at the highest levels of mormonism.

[Godzilla]

We do believe that God did not stop his revelations with the Bible — we don’t hold that the Bible is the only scripture. We believe that he has provided more light and knowledge to the world through additional scripture revealed to prophets ancient and modern.

So are you saying you believe the Koran to be inspired by God through another prophet?

The link will lead to LDS.org. the official web site. I've already had someone complaining about the age of the article. Strange, those that complain about the source and age of articles almost never post anything to rebut the info. It's as though the information has a shelf life. If the mormon church is the "restored Gospel", you'd think it would be everlasting.

A link to LDS.org why -

Why I'm shocked!! Why they are espousing the same thing as this Cumorah.com website! Are all the morg apologists out of tune with their church?

Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.”

-Jesus (John 7:24)

“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.”

-Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 2:14-16)

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“I find the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be very much in harmony with the Bible.”

You would be completely wrong.

“I have come back from Church today where I have learned about the love of God and the mercy of Jesus Christ, about service, kindness, baptism, healing, chastity and prayer, to name some of the topics brought up in meetings and lessons.”

Did you also study the mormon teachings about:

God starting as a man and becoming a god later?
The Heavenly Mother god?
Trillions of mormon gods?
Becoming a god?

- none of which is Biblical.

“We do believe that God did not stop his revelations with the Bible — we don’t hold that the Bible is the only scripture.”

And you would be wrong.

“We believe that he has provided more light and knowledge to the world through additional scripture revealed to prophets ancient and modern.”

And this isn’t Christian.

THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE
CORINTHIANS
CHAPTER 12
1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the bbody, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envying, wraths, strafes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

[BlueMoose]

You would be wrong

[Normandy]

No, I was referring to the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price.

We also believe that God has guided the affairs of his Kingdom through prophets and apostles (as He did in Bible times) from the time of Joseph Smith to the present day.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

While you are here, attempting to show mormonism
is Biblical (and failing), please answer just one
question for all lurkers:

BlueMoose, as a mormon, how many gods do you think exist - ballpark?

Prove it.

Good luck with that.
