1 | more help please, about mormons | John 14:6 | legsrandall | 225607 | ||
thanks for helping me.....as it is...I sometimes call myself "just a dumb ole girl" honestly I'm not that dumb...but i sort of am that dumb ole girl when it comes to scripture...having told you this let me add.. I dont know much, but i know Jesus saved me.. so...when I tried to tell my mormon friend about what i have read thus far, here in this message site., my friend totally turned off.. especially when i said "mormans were a cult"..my friend refused to listen..(as well i would have done if anybody tried to tell me i was learning from a cult),, (i'm baptist). I need some more help with showing my friend (in a gentle way) he needs to get away from that morman church.. i could chapter and verse him till the cows come home but since i dont know chapter and verse myself and he probably wouldnt go read them if i gave them to him .. Please try to help me get him to understand with words we use today.. like from the 21st century...AND yes i want help from all of you..Thanks P.S. I know I don't need to know every detail (or) even anything) in the bible..as long as I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for me..and through Him I am saved John 3:16.. I know some stuff from the bible but not enough to get my mormon point across ...C | ||||||

Legsrandall you very wise to realize the effect of calling Mormonism a cult has on your friend. The problem with Mormonism is most Mormons don't know the full story of their religion. They hear only the parts that closely line up with Christianity. They don't hear that Mormonism considers Satan and Jesus as spirit brothers, when scripture tells us Jesus is the Son of God and Satan was an angel. They don't hear that Elohim and Jesus aren't eternal but had definite beginnings while scripture declares God and Jesus as eternal beings with no beginning and no ending. They don't hear that the book of Mormon has been revised removing factual errors time and time again. They don't hear that the Book of Mormon is a word for word copy of the KJV in many of places. They don't hear that the book of mormon talks of Jews coming to America using compasses and glass, however both of these are known not to exist when the book of Mormon said they were used. They don't know that the book of mormon talks of great cities build in midwest long before Columbus came to the America yet no ruins or evidence of such can be found. They don't hear that the church of Latter Day Saints reversed their teaching on Blacks on the threat of losing their IRS status as non profit. Mormons don't know that church leaders ordered, were arrestted and convicted of the murder of people crossing what Mormons considered their land. Most Mormons know nothing of Joseph Smith the founder of their religion. He was considered by many as being goofy. Using peep stones (rocks) to show him where to dig for gold he and his family dug up a huge area of NY in this cause. In my opinion the best way to fight mormonism is to understand it's history and us that as a possible way to find a crack in their armour. Best to you |

WooWee..Looks like I jumped in a hornets nest..excuse me but i must play my dumb-ole girl card again...Gulp.. i'm still in the game. my best bet is that this mormon friend is probably as un educated about his mormanism as i am about my Christianity... We are (sorry about the caps) TWO OLD BURNED OUT HIPPIES FROM THE 60'S WHO HAPPENED TO DISCUSS RELIGEON AbOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND HAve been friends every since,, I dont attent church regularly , but about 4 years ago i got charged up and attended quite regularly.. I even got my friend coming with me.. That Pastor there at a baptist church even helped my friend pick out a bible,, my friend still has and refers to it as "HIS" bible... Funny thing.. a couple days ago, I just asked him if he took that bible to his mormon church with him and he said No, it wasnt necessary.. I shook it off,saying, "yeah I know they flip through pages so fastm i cant keep up with them either.. I didnt know they Use a different book other than the king james ..but I believe this question of exactly what book he is learning from (while at service) is right where i will begin...My friend said " I have a king James Bible and You have a king James Bible" Dont worry about me"... When my friend was attendind with me at the baptist service, My friend took to the baptist service like "the good old duck to water".. he says he was raised in the mormon religeon but ,, I think it might be just a matter of name to him and he doesnt even know what he is being taught.. I'm sure i will be back for more help..ill try to understand and with the Lord's guidance, (if meant to be) We'll get him back over in the right pews, in Jesus name...Help us Lord ....C... P.S. no chance of me getting swayed to mormanisn...I am happy where I am.. Personally i have been blessed with a HUGE !! assignment, and i have been floating on air, especially realizing day by day this job the Lord has trusted me with has been in the making for a very long time.. my personal blessing has to do with the Lord GIVING me cancer and How Happy I am about it.. it's a mighthy thing I am experiencing..through this blessing i have been lead back to my friend (we were at outs for over a year) I feel the lord wants this.. I feel it God wants me to help heard him back into the flock,, it all part of the plan...THE END IS NEAR... Oh The Lord is Mighty and How I LOVE HIM SO..C | ||||||

What most people don't know is Mormons will use the King James Bible. But anytime the KJV contradicts the Mormon teaching they will go to the book of Mormon for the answer. So your friend can be very happy in a Baptist church until they say something about Mormonism then he will go to his Book of Mormon and prove them wrong. Again if you friend is lukewarm Mormon he probably does not know anything about Mormon history or actual Mormon doctrine. If it were me I would engage him in a conversation on who God is, eternal being, and once he buys into it then say how does that compare to what Mormons teach on God. One of the great mantra of Mormonism is, "As man is God was and as God is man will become" See they believe if they marry and seal a wife here on earth and live a good life, when they die they will be given a planet. Their wife will be with them and they will make spirit babies all through eternity. Then on this planet they were given they will take human form procreate thus starting the Human race on the planet and then they will transform back to Gods of the planet. As babies are born on the planet the spirit babies this Mormon man and his sealed wife procreated will inhabit the human babies giving them a spirit and this man and his wife will be God of that planet. To step up this process Mormon men are allowed to have more than one wife. In states that frown on Polygamy they just seal women so they will be married in the next life. So Mormon men look forward to ruling another planet and having constant sex with multiple partners throughout eternity. Mormon women look forward to being pregnant and giving birth to spirit babies all through eternity. Does that sound like a religion invented by man or what? |
