What is Mormonism?

That said...from what little I've read on mormonism, I'm confused and a little bit frightened. One thing I don't understand...why is Mormonism so relatively popular? Their beliefs strike me as ridiculous. What's the appeal?

Mormon doctrine is bizarre. And, the religion flies in the face of all reason. Why is the Book of Mormon written with 1611 KJV-style English? Did they speak the King's English 2000 years ago in America? Did Joseph Smith speak it? Or, did Joseph Smith fabricate the Book of Mormon with the aid of the standard Bible of his time, the KJV?

I think Mormonism has three things going for it, which accounts for its success:

1) Most Mormons are born into it.

2) Consistent effort to win converts. Most churches don't seem to make an effort to win converts beyond the occasional "invite a friend to church." Mormon missionaries go around greeting people (and, giving lonely people instant friends?).

3) High expectations of dress and behavior. Rather than pandering to the general public, they give the general public something to aspire to.


PS, I've never been to a Mormon church.
 
Wow, they really do wear magic underwear

Thanks for your reply Steve. Maybe it's because I am so involved in something that I forget to explain from the beginning. I apologize for that.

Here are a few examples:

The first one was what I spoke of and that was the doctrine that God the Father was once a man. Some have said that Mormons just don't know about it. But I have found that they do. Not only do they admit it but they defend it. (please see my first post #8)

Next, I provided the example of Gordin Hinckley as lying. And even the Fair (a highly respected Mormon source amoung Mormons) response.

And then the video info before.

Also, I am involved in a ministry to the Philippines. The Filipino people do not like polygamy. If they knew that Joseph Smith had multiple wives, they would reject him as a prophet. Three children, all brothers, have parents that are in the beginning stages of Mormonism. I sent them a letter about what Mormons believe and also that Joseph Smith had many wives and I gave some details. The Mormon missionaries just said that it was not true and that it was something "anti-mormons" made up. They knew he did but they are taking advantage of their poor situation.

I also mentioned about doing a search for "lying for the Lord"

Finally, I want you to know that I am actually doing something most here would find controversial. That's because I know that there might be a very short window of opportunity to educate the world and protect Christians that are apathetic about Mormonism. I go on political forums and tell everyone about the racial things that Mormon "scriptures" teach. I have been able to educate a lot of people. I get many thanks from some people and a lot of anger from the Mormons on that chat. So if I say on that chat:

"Mitt Romney is a Mormon and Mormonism teaches that African Americans are black because they allegedly descended from Cain, who killed his brother. So God cursed him with a black skin to punish him." Their response is ALWAYS something like this, "No we don't. Learn your facts first". That response is a lie. It happens every time.

Now if I say:

Mitt Romney believes racist“scriptures†(mormon scriptures)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

HE BELIEVES AFRICANAMERICANS ARE BLACK BECAUSE THEY WERE CURSED BY GOD. It's called the"Curse of Cain" Notice what their scriptures say: "And. . . they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was theseed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not placeamong them (Moses 7:22)." And: ". . . there was a blacknesscame upon all the children of Canaan, that they were despised amongall people . . . (Moses 7:8)." This is their "scriptures". It is what they hold as a source of authority. It is what Romneybelieves RIGHT NOW and he is being really quiet because he does notwant the public to know. The fact is, the mormon church believesthat African Americans are black because they are descendents ofCain, who killed his brother and then God put a mark on him. It isthe mormon church that teaches that this mark is a black skin. Thereare other places where mormon "scriptures" speak of Godpunishing white people with a dark colored skin. II Nephi 5:21 "Andhe had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sorecursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardenedtheir hearts against him, and they had become like unto a flint;wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome,that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did causea skin of blackness to come upon them." This was a two-foldpurpose. First, it was to punish them for their sins. And second,it was to make them ugly to white people. There are MANY MANY MOREracist "scriptures" in the Book of Mormon and other places. It wasn't until June 1978 that theMormon church allowed African Americans into the priesthood when theyallegedly received a "revelation" from God that the ban hadfinally been lifted.

Then they can't deny it. You see Steve, they know it's true, but they will lie to cover it up. But when I say something like the above statement, then I get the anger and name calling. But they have a terrible time trying to deny it because it is supported.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Thanks! I think your doing an honorable thing. I'm glad there are people out there like you!.

God Bless and thanks for sharing! I've certainly learned a lot
 
Speaking of Mitt Romney, lets see what the Mormons believe. This link has a good article on what Mormonism is, it is a must read for knowledge.

I put this group on the same level as the Jehovah's Witnesses. A couple years ago two white young Mormon elders came to my home.. They offered me a book, I took it and I realise that it had no substance and was unbiblical. I told them don't come back, and I told the same thing to two Jehovah's Witnesses. These are nothing than cultish groups.

As for having a Mormon president, it will just be a high class member of the Mormon cult ..who is rich....sitting in the White House...simple as that.

The thing about religious cults is that that they have a religious front but when you get to the bottom they are nothing but groups that have been deceived on a massive scale by the enemy Satan.

Many talk about the family structure of the Mormon church and how they are close...The Mafia and drug cartel have close family ties so what..:lol.

There are many websites which shows their beliefs, I refuse to post any here, since with the Spirit of God a Christian will be given discerning to see what is false from what is true.

What the Christian church needs today is spiritual discernment..

This is behaviour of another large cultish organisation...may not be what people want to hear..BUT IT IS THE TRUTH. The Christianity which the early apostles espoused would not tolerate this.

The timing of these two cults' emergence seems to be an unwanted side effect of the reformation. Prior to their emergence, the Word may have been abused and misinterpreted, but it was the Word. After it was translated into different languages and made more broadly available to the world, we have cults like Mormonism and Jehovah's Witness popping up in the 1800's. It's as if the common law was abolished and the Word went to the anarchists.

While Mormons accept the Word as it is as Truth, they place the Book of Mormon above it. When they two are at odds, the BoM wins and Holy Scripture is forced to adapt to it. We know Jehovah Witnesses use only the Bible, but they reworded their own New World Translation version enough to disguise it as the Truth while it says something so very different.

There are a lot of differences, but from a wide angle lens, they look very similar. Both are backed by an ENORMOUS financial foundation. The JW's Watchtower printing press is the largest printing press in the world with the highest revenue, and the Mormon church is made of gold. :gah
 
The women's version doesn't have a "pocket" or whatever it is.

Wow! We're talking about sex and looking at people wearing their underware! This is better than National Geographic! And imagine, on a Christian forum and all lol!!

Ok ok, just kidding.

We now bring you back to your regularly scheduled program. There is no man behind the curtain. Pay no attention to the curtain! :salute
 
Look close at Mitt and compare it to the temple garment neckline.

You guys know it has Masonic symbols on it.

Wow, are you sure it's not photoshopped?
And why would Mitt wear a priestly garment?

And where at the masonic symbols?

Edit:
I just read an article about Mitt's underware. Wow, I can't believe we're talking about Mitt's underware.. geesh. What I've concluded is so what. I mean, he's never denied he's a mormon so if it's his tradition to wear mormon underware then so be it. I just hope they are comfortable.
