The Mormon Faith

[ayin jade]

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel,

7 which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

That's true, but to us, you guys have departed from the faith.

Despite being full of contradictions, the Bible is still an essential part of salvation. Most of it is right and if we are guided by the Holy Ghost, we can decifer what is wrong.

If it is full of contradictions how do you know that what it says about salvation is true?Maybe when they 'mistranslated' it they left out an essential step in salvation..or added one?

I have some old posts about mormonism that I think is worthwhile to bring up again.

The reason Mormonism is not Christian is because it, like any other cult, denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity. Of the essential doctrines (Jesus is God in flesh, forgiveness of sins is by grace alone, and Jesus rose from the dead physically), Mormonism distorts two of them: the person of Jesus, and His work of salvation.

Mormonism teaches that God the Father has a body of flesh and bones (D. & C. 130:22) and that Jesus is a creation. It teaches that he was begotten in heaven as one of God

There are salvational errors in their doctrine. For example, what Christians call salvation is resurrection and going to heaven. What mormons call salvation is resurrection of Christians and unbelievers. Only those who are mormon, who have approval of Joseph Smith get into heaven. A mormon woman needs her husband's approval to get in. Salvation as Christians know it, as Jesus meant it, is only obtainable through someone other than Christ. Mormons do not place their hope of salvation (Christian definition) on Jesus. In that, they have made a grievous error.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

This really ought to be a warning sign. Mormons preach a different gospel. The bible warns us about it.

I'm sorry but I dont really think that answered my questions.

Yes, we do use the King James Version of the Bible. And even though that contains many of the same contradictions, we've learned through modern revelations that it is the most correct of the various versions out there.

Hi priest,

How do you interpret this scripture?

Is 9:6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Is Jesus a god or The God?
