And I'm very positive that I never will again, Mormons have never been anything but nice to me, but I could not follow beliefs that Undermine Scripture. I agree with you. They are nice people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't care what they believe---it's their religion, and as long as they don't knock on my door 24/7, I'm cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reject that Jesus is actually God in the flesh. To them he was just another created being. That is a total rejection of the historic orthodox catholic faith. sw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jesus they have was created by intercourse between Mary and God(who to them is a man). Jesus also had to prove himself worthy on Earth and it wasn't until after he was crucified he became a God. Jesus and Satan are also brothers. etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do not rely on Him for salvation as we know it. What they call salvation is the general resurrection of everyone lost and "saved". What "saves" them and gets them to that heaven that includes God (in their religion) is belief in the mormon religion and Joseph Smith. And their Jesus isnt the Jesus we know. To them, as God once was, so are we now. Jesus and satan are brothers (denying the only begotten Son part) and they will be gods one day too, as we will all be gods one day. The attributes they give to Jesus is nothing like the Jesus we know. They are not a Christian religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a religion of the lost, and we should be concerned for their souls as much as any other lost person. I think they now try to call themselves Christians because it is more accepted as a "normal" religion. But really they don't believe that Christ is 100% human and 100% God. They also don't read the Bible very much. So if one starts talking to them about Scripture most of them are a bit lost. They are told it's a valid book and they are told to tell people they proselyze that it's their foundational book, but it isn't. They do primarily all their studying on the Pearl of Great Price/The Book of Mormon. Sad that the young boys are reeled in to such programming so young.
