Bible Question: Am I not mistaken but how can mormons say that they believe in the same Christ as christians do and isn't the book of mormon in violation of what Rev 22:18-19 says isn't the book of mormon adding to the Bible |
Bible Answer: Brother, this is an excellant question. Galations 1:6-8 calls it another gospel and I believe these verses have a prophetic application to LDS. They are not Christians in any fashion. Briefly Bringham Young taught that the work of the cross is not sufficient for salvation. They call Joseph Smith a prophet, but none of his prophecies were fullfilled. Concerning Jesus, they believe that He and Lucifer are brothers, and as the earth was falling into sin, a meeting was held on the planet Coleb. Satan said he would sove the problem by ruling with a rod of Iron, Jesus said He present a choice to people. The angels voted in favor of Jesus' plan. They believe that Jesus is one of many sons of God, over planet earth only. They believe that water baptism and living with out sin is the only way to heaven, by works. They believe that the apostle John is alive today living with a tribe of Indians in Canada and will reveal himself in the near future. They communicate with the spirits of Joseph Smith and Bringham Young in Salt Lake city. The above is very short list of strange and unbiblical beliefs they follow. If you can talk to them alone and talk with them about Jesus (in place of church doctrine) many can be won to salvation. Bless you brother WarriorOne in Jesus' Name |
