<DUE TO THE SUBJECT YOUNGER MEMBERS MIGHT NOT WANT TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION BUT MAYBE>

Well i just finished writing a 5 page ish research paper on the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day saints and im so disgusted i could kill someone except thats wrong but i might be able to throw a digested gummy worm. anyway. have any of you experienced the details of the LDS? its amaizing that anyone believes this ... i think the only possible explanation is total brainwashage. if anyone wants a couple pages of not too polished writing about them (by me) give me ur email and ill send you it. The total nonsensicality (nice word eh?.) of their docrine is astounding!

If the Mormon church followed their first leader's (Joseph Smith's) teaching completely, they would have to have multiple wives and say black people were inferior--but they believe that their current prophet at any given time is to be heeded and believed more than the Bible, Mormonism's "extra" books (The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, or The Pearl of Great Price), or the word of any dead prophet. In other words, their teachings would have made Joseph Smith right when he was alive, but would make the prophets after him (who changed many doctrines) right for our time.
A relative of mine attended the Mormon church for many years because their spouse went, and it's pretty sad what they teach.
Mormonism actually teaches the false doctrine that God had to work His way up to being God, and that anyone else can do the same--clearly unbiblical, and the second part is just like what the devil told Eve. Mormonism even teaches that lucifer (before his rebellion) had a plan to redeem us (and to take all the credit for it), but rebelled when Jesus' plan was chosen over his. The Bible disproves this by specifically saying that the devil was the one who first tempted Adam and Eve to sin--so man didn't need redemption before satan's rebellion. Besides, the devil would never try to redeem us, anyway! And Jesus is God, so Jesus' plan of our salvation didn't need to be "chosen" over someone else's.
I know that some Mormons are trying to do right, and it's quite sad that so many smart and even God-fearing people are being taken in by this deception.

I've talked to some Mormons......they also teach that Jesus came back to earth (after His assention) and had disciples here in the Unitied States in the 1800's just like he did in the Bible

Peace Out

It's pretty sad how many people are led astray by this religion. I was walking to the bus stop and two women standing out side their church started to talk to me. I wanted to stay and talk to them, hopefully share something with them . . . but didn't really get the oppertunity.

They invited me in for a tour and I politely declined, telling them I was a member of [my church name] and where it was.

Like every false religion, you'll find a lot of hurting people in there. We just have to be ready to talk with them about the True God and the true faith that will actually save them. They won't get to be gods, but they will actually be serving the real one.

There is a guy I know from school [not very well] who was attracted to the Mormon church because of how family oriented it was and that was soemthing he was missing in his real family. Now he calls himself mormon . . .

I went to Salt Lake City, and saw the Mormon Temple and the Mormon Tabernacle and the LDS building. It is really weird. My dad told me that they believe marriage continues in heaven, however, the wierdest thing was that they baptize their dead ancestors, beleieving, that "they would have wanted to be baptized if they were alive." They will choose some people who willed be baptized for however many dead people (That's wierd)

One time, some Mormons came to our door, and my mom said, "No, we're very strong Catholics" and they said, "Oh, there's not really much of a difference" I find that really funny. OK

I just read today that Mormons believe that man can become God. While trying to find out if that is something that they do believe I found this http://www.musclemag.com/forums/topic-8 ... extoldest/.

Are these points all true Mormon teachings?

Has he seen the truth vs. the errors now that the Mormons have probably begun showing him what their church believes? I hope he has a strong enough Biblical foundation to recognize the fallacies and go back to a better church. Was he in a church before?
