Guest LadyC Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Amen Mega....I used to work with a Morman, and he frequently condemned me for being a "general Christian" as he put it. I chose to pray. my daughter is married to a mormon. there were a few months when he was an infant that i was lucky to get to spend any time with him at all, or with my daughter for that matter, because she was trying to keep the peace with her husband and in-laws. (they still live with her husband's parents.) his parents came to our home one evening when my daughter and their son were having a disagreement, and he'd left her at our home to go get backup. they all arrived, and his parents loudly and insistantly (for even our neighbors to hear, which some did), that they didn't want THEIR grandson anywhere near me and mark, because WE are not "pure" enough. someone should have reminded his parents that my teenage daughter got pregnant under their roof, not mine.

Stories like this are too common. It is the side you don't see that disturbs me. Mormons are encouraged to marry in the temple and non-mormons (including parents) are told that they come to the reception but not to the wedding(temple) because that is only for Worthy Mormons. Mormons need prayer. They are not saved. Their theology is completely different from Christianity. Families who have children in the faith also need prayers.

If they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior will they be there with us? I know that the Holy Spirit has not had me adhere to a Mormon doctrine. As to whether or not they are going to be in heaven though, is not a concern to me. I trust G_d has their individual eternity figured out. I must say though, that if G_d presents me with an individual whom the Holy Spirit inspires me to believe they are in error, I trust the spirit to deal with them accordingly. P.S. The conversations never end with me regretting that I did or didn't say something. I just trust the Holy Spirit used me at His pleasure.

Below is their scripture. 2 Nephi:23-24 For we labor diligently to write, to apersuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by bgrace that we are saved, after all we can do. And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ, we akeep the law of Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, until the law shall be fulfilled. The teaching in 2004 was that first we must do all we can to be atoned for our sins. Repenting to Christ is when we find it impossible to obey him. In other words salvation can be attained by our own works first, followed by the Righteousness of Christ. Self Righteousness is a sin that isn't recognised by Mormons. Mormons on a whole are great people. But they need to know That it isn't by works they are saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying for you and your daughter LadyC thanks for the prayers. she certainly needs them she. and her husband are moving to idaho to live with other relatives. she will know no christians there. i wanted to touch on what you said about temple marriages. they tried VERY hard to convince my daughter to have a temple ceremony, as quickly as possible before she started showing. she actually agreed at one point, but then was SO surprised at how excited her (now-) husband got, at how he couldn't wait to tell his parents the good news, she asked him what the big deal was. SHE thought she was agreeing to getting married inside their church. when they finally slipped in the little tidbit of information that none of her family and almost none of her friends would be allowed to attend the ceremony, there was a HUGE fight. she threw such a fit over it, and rightly so. needless to say, they did not marry in the temple.

Guest nosoulleftbehind Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have a Morman Aquaintence, ironically enough, we have had tiffs so to say.. over doctrinal values... I have researched many denominations, imparticularly close to 'Catholacism, Mormanism, and Jehovah's witness... I have come to the same emotional discernments on all three.. My spirit aches for theirs. You cannot talk to those being blinded.. All three of these , are sadly enough the root of mysticism... The followers I notice are so to say.. seeds sown by the wayside.. They crumble as quickly as they jump to profess their belief.. They have no clue what I am talking about when I speak from scripture.. The Jehovah's witness' however, are a little trickier, for they have been decieved by speculation/interpretation... And we all know there is only one way to interpret 'Gods word....The way 'He meant it , And He meant it exactly as 'He said it! ..I think the main answer here ends with a question.. Are they practicing as outlined from Paul, to Timothy, ... (SEE TIMOTHY&TITUS)... and as Paul says... teaching as I teach everywhere, in every church!.. (1stCor...Be of the same mind and in the same judgement..)This is the base for all church's to be questioning if they are truly in Christ..(Established by ACTS").. Will the followers be led by the blind, which if the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch?.. Many of these followers do not even understand the parables.. Jesus taught how to determine if ones eyes are open , or closed to the truth 'BY the parable of the sower... Are these church's sowing good seed? We can decipher this by what we learn, and how we practice, and see them by comparison.. Rev. WARNS!!!!...... about anyone adding to, or taking away from 'God's words, ... I believe if they had a holy spirit they would see the difference.... We must not give up though, only pray & try to persuade by scripture.. If anyone could help me on this issue with Catholacism... advise is greatly appreciated!... I am only percieving at this point, that we are 'not to argue to the point of disputes'!(1stCor.)
