Have you ever?

[FreeinChrist]

Have you ever had someone just taunt you for your faith, and just wonder God I don't deserve this?  Now don't get me wrong i am not talking about having a pity party, but rather being found worthy to suffer for the Name of Jesus Christ.  How poor of an example of Christ have I been, yet my God has found me, who has failed Him so often, worthy of such an honor.

Um pretty much everyone has to tell me I believe in lies.  But I don't mind.  If they are going out of their way to do that then I must be vocal enough

[Tinky]

Oh, yes. It hurts while it is happening, especially if they are blaspheming God's name, but afterwards, you feel such a blessing for enduring it. 

 

Always pray for them. You may be the only person in their lives who does. And treat them kindly - you were an unbeliever once too.

[missmuffet]

Oh yes.People who are not a Christian can be quite mean.You are either a follower of Jesus Christ or Satan there is no in-between.

I was avoided by people at work, falsely accused of many things, set up to look bad, etc. I was accuse by a Mormon lady of child abuse which could have cost me my job. God was faithful to vindicate me. But even worse, I was also falsely accused in a couple of churches I have attended. I consoled myself in that the religious people hated Jesus, too. But it still hurt when it was done by people I thought were my friends at chrurch. They do afford us an exercise in forgiveness. And I try to treat them better than I was treated, to overcome evil with good.

[Littlelambseativy]

Just tell them you forgive them, and pray for them that God will open their eyes before it's too late.

[missmuffet]

The worst offenders were at work.I have been verbally abused like you would not believe.I just smile back and say "have a nice day" piling coals on their head like the Bible says.

[rontiger]

Yeah, sometimes it stung a bit but that was when I had  a little  doubt about Jesus. Even some Christians would tell me that I would have to wait till I died to be sure. Now I am 100% certain Jesus is God and he rose bodily from the dead.

 

took me many years studying of history, physics, the  Bible  and the Holy Spirit's faithful guidance to be sure.

 

I am glad Jesus showed me that it is possible to overcome all doubt. Check out  the Nazareth Inscription.   It proves there was an empty tomb of Jesus. It is directly related to Act 18, part of the famous Roman Emperor Claudius's reaction to Christian missionaries from Judaea and Galilee turning Rome's Jewish quarter, upside down between AD 41 to AD 49. The truth of Jesus Christ is provable.

 

 harassment(for my beliefs) and extreme sorrow(not from persecution) forced me to really,really intimately know Jesus -John 17:3,- a happy-go-lucky life rarely does

Yep. I have been on the receiving end of much persecution for being a Mormon; persecution has even come from others who call themselves Christians. As a Mormon I am a Christian. I fully acknowledge Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Putting others down for what they believe is wrong. That's exactly what ISIS is doing. Just saying...

Well, that is what Mormons generally state apex.  However, according to the Bible, you are not a Christian.

 

Why?

 

Well, that would be because of the following.  Please feel free to refute anything you see here and direct us to that correction.  I understand that Mormon websites do not

state the following on the front pages, but if you look closely, it seems pretty clear that the following list is some of what is taught.

 

Please note, I am not persecuting you.  However, I do take exception to you stating that you believe what I believe, because you most certainly do not.

 

So, let's discuss it.

 

1.  Mormon's teach that they can become gods and goddesses.

2.  Mormon goddesses will spend eternity in full submission to their god-husband.

3.  Mormon's teach that women will give birth “forever and ever” to spirit-babies.

4.  Mormon's teach men can have multiple wives in heaven—eternalpolygamy. They intend to have many wives in heaven, carrying on multiple sex relations throughout eternity, until they have enough children to populate their own earth, so they can be "Heavenly Father" over their own planet!

5.  Heavenly Father is an exalted man who lives with his goddess wife,Heavenly Mother, on a planet near the great star Kolob.

6.  American Indians are descendants of the wicked Lamanites, who were Israelites that God cursed with dark skin.

7.  God the Father had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus. They say Virgin Mary really wasn't a virgin at all but had sex relations with their heavenly father to produce the Mormon version of Jesus Christ

8.  Mormon's teach that there is only salvation through the Mormons and all other Christian churches are wrong and Mormons also do baptisms for their dead. 

9.  Mormons teach that they need 4 secret handshakes to get into the Celestial heaven.

10.  Joseph Smith revealed that the actual Garden of Eden is in Jackson County, Missouri.

11.  Joseph Smith says that he saw God and Jesus both, when they appeared to him.

12. Mormons believe that Lucifer and Jesus are brothers.

13.  Mormons believe the angel Gabriel came down to earth and became Noah in the days of the flood.

14.  Mormons consider the Bible to be untrustworthy and full of errors.  

15.  Mormons believe the Archangel Michael came down to earth with several of his celestial wives, and became Adam in the garden of Eden. 

16.  The Mormon founder and their Prophet Joseph Smith prophesied falsely many times. For example, he foretold the second coming of Christ for 1891. The Bible teaches that one false prophecy puts the prophet under death sentence. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).   

17.  Mormons doctrine taught and believed that before 1978 they considered the Negro race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from entering their priesthood.  Now they will allow men of African decent to be priests but the fact that they once taught this proves they're a False Religion.

18.  Mormons have books other than the Bible that they call scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants.  All these and even their official "Mormon Doctrine" statements contradict each other on MAJOR doctrinal points. The King James Bible is also contradicted by these books.  

19.  Mormons believe Jesus had at least three wives and children while he was on this earth.

20. Joesph Smith taught that there were inhabitants on the moon, and Brigham Young taught there were inhabitants on the sun as well!  The fact that these two men once taught this proves they were not real Prophets of God.  They were false prophets and this religion is leading many souls to Hell still today.

21.  Mormons also teach that there is no salvation without Joseph Smith.  They teach that Joseph Smith holds the keys to the Kingdom of God. They teach that Jesus' death on the cross only partially saves the believer.  They also teach that people will stand before God, Jesus and Joseph Smith on Judgement Day.
