Exactly, Trent and "A Follower of God" are quiet far characteristics.

OK, I'm a Mormon (convert of ten years) and am amazed at the level of ignorance shown here. Here's how it really is:\n\nWe DO NOT believe that God had sex with Mary. (Pernicious falsehood started by anti-Mormons)\n\nWe DO believe "that Jesus is Lord and that He died on the cross and he rose from the dead on the third day". [c.f. "Jesus_is_awesome"]\n\nWe believe that Jesus and satan are spirit brothers ONLY IN THE SENSE that everyone and everything, even satan, are created by God. People created by the same father are brothers.\n\nWe DO believe in salvation by grace, and we DO NOT believe that our good works save us. However, when we confess faith in Jesus Christ we promise to follow him. "If ye love me, keep my commandments". Our works are what show that He is Lord of our lives. If we deliberately fail to live according to his will we cannot really have meant that prayer. (But we know we can repent when we make a mistake.)\n\nI recently asked "What must I do to be saved?" I had 33 answrs, all of which said something along the lines of "Accept Jesus Christ and repent of your sins." I have done that, therefore I am saved and going to heaven. I also happen to be a Mormon.

Over behind the Mormon church

I am not a Mormon, but in the studies I have done, I have found that Mormons believe in the Torah and the NT>  The problem is, they believe in it so long as it is correctly interpreted...by the leaders of the church.  Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, said that the Bible and all it's teachers were corrupt.  He claimed to have been given a new testament of Jesus Christ.  The Mormons use th Book of Mormon and The Pearl of Great Price as their ultimate authority on everything, including the OT and NT.  There were literally thousands of errors in the original Book of Mormon when Joseph Smith recieved the Divine revelation.  Those have been corrected, for the most part.  There is also the contradictions of scripture and revelation that have taken place since then.  At one point, the prophet, Joseph Smith and then the presidents of the church...Brigham Young, etc., stated as prophecy that Mormons will practice polygamy...that this was a commandment that shall be everlasting.  After the US government told them that they will abandon that belief or get kicked out of Utah and the US, a new, everlasting commandment, came down from God to the president of the church saying you shall not commit polygamy.  I hate it when gods are afraid of the gvernment. ;)  Sorry, my Christian bias came through there.

Yes. There are black Mormons. One of the most well known is Gladys Knight, of Gladys Knight and the Pips. She was baptized several and some years ago after trying out a lot of other religions. She has recently organized a choir and takes them all over the country sharing her testimony about the church and about God. \n\nI am not sure about the answer to your other question. I'm not sure they are entirely related. Remember, Mormons no longer practice polygamy.

Mormon isn't true because the Holy Bible was the only book that contained God's words. Jesus said that no one should make any changes to God's words.

I am a Mormon myself. I have been my whole life.  Mormons are CHRISTIANS. The name of our church is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints.  We basically have the same beliefs as other Christian religions. We belive in God, Jesus the Savior, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in baptisim. We believe strongly in the Bible.  The main difference is that we have The Book of Mormon also that we have a testimony of, just like we do the Bible. The Book of Mormon is another testiment of Jesus Christ. When Jesus came to the American continent. \n\nWe do not critize any other religion, that is not Christian like to do so. Also because our beliefs are basically the same. We believe in Heaven and Hell. The Plan of Salvation that God has for us.  We believe that Jesus Christ died for us, to allow us to be able to repent humbly and Jesus will remember our sins NO more if we do so. \n\nI hope this is not too confusing. I could go on for hours. Thanks for the question though\n\nKayla\n\nBTW-- We have not changed the Book Of Mormon over and over again. It was written by Latter-Day prophets back when Jesus was on earth.  In order to see for yourself, contact a local active Mormon near you and ask them for a Book of Mormon. First read Moroni chapter 10. Pray to have understanding of The Book of Mormon and to be able to feel the Holy Spirit as you read The Book of Mormon. \n:)

You have done research on "Mormons", yet you say they don't believe in the resurrected Jesus Christ!? Mormons ARE Christians because they DO believe in Jesus Christ. Why would they name their church "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" if they didn't believe in Him? Obviously your research skills are extremely flawed!\nTheir doctrines do not contradict the Bible. They believe in the Bible. They follow biblical teachings. They have another book of scripture that is a companion to the Bible. Again... your research skills need work. \nAs for the original question "are Mormons an occult religion?" The answer is no. the 'Mormon' religion is open to everyone.

I have never heard this before, and I have studied a lot on the religion.  Because they are so secrative rumors like this start.  However, there are so many wrong teachings of the mormons that there is no need to make stuff up about them!\n\nMormonism teaches:\n\nThat there is more than one God.\nThat God the Father is really just an exalted man with flesh and bones just like you and me.\nThat we also can become gods.\nThat the apostle John is still alive today, but yet believe that the church went into complete apostacy (meaning John must have left Jesus, too).\nThat Adam and Eve didn't really sin.\nThat salvation is earned and that grace is nothing more than "enabling power" that aids people as they seek perfection.\nTeaches that the Father actually had sex with Mary and that she was not a virgin.\n\nI have been told that the last one is not widely believed by the Mormon church, and is not an "official" church doctrine.  I know that Doctrines of Salvation vol. 1:18 says that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.  I do not know if that is one of their "official" sources of doctrine.  I know this does, however, contradict both Matthew 1:18, and even the Book of Mormon (Alma 7:10).  \n\nMormonism IS a cult, IS a perversion of the gospel of Christ, and IS NOT the "true church" as they claim.

The Truth About  Mormonism\n\nMost LDS (This stands for Latter Day Saint, That's what they like to call themselves) won't tell you what the Church believes because it is so bizarre. These strange beliefs are the reason mainline Christians Churches say that Mormonism is a non-christian cult. In the next paragraph I will tell you what they believe and add what the Bible teaches on the subject where appropriate.\nMormons teach that our god is a glorified man. A being of flesh and bone. The Bible makes it very clear that God is spirit. The Mormon god  stated out in the great expanse of uncreated space. There in the darkness of a pre-spiritual existence, god the father, Jesus, you, and I will there all equal and co-eternal. Then a god had sexual intercourse with one of his wives and our god was given a spiritual body. He happened to be the first born of this god so he became the savior of this god's world just like Jesus is for our world. He lived, and taught Mormonism to those who would listen to mine. He died just like Jesus did here and if others on that world would repent and be baptized by the Mormon priest there and live to the end of their lives in righteousness they were allow to return to their god. If they didn't measure up they were assigned to other kingdoms that that god has created for them. Kingdoms overseen by their savior  (who became our god) and another valiant spirit that was given the office of holy ghost. (What do you think, is this getting complex?) After the end of the world that our god did his mortal ministry on, he was given many worthy females at he could have sex with and thereby create spirit children (us) to send to a world that he created. Oh, by the way these worlds weren't really created they were organized out of the matter available in space (matter is co-eternal with god and can't be created or destroyed). Jesus was the first born of our god and Lucifer the second born (who became the devil). Can you believe this Mormons don't just say that Jesus is our spiritual brother but also he and we are brothers of Satan. Lucifer wanted to force us all to be good and bring us all back to god Jesus wanted to give us freedom to make our own decision. Jesus won this battle and became god the son. Well Mormons believe this process is repeated again and again. It is their goal to live a perfect life through their first principles of their gospel they are:\n          1. Faith in the Mormon Jesus\n          2. Baptism by immersion (Done only by their priests)\n          3. Laying on of hands for the gift of the Mormon Holy Ghost  ( Done only by their elders)\n          4. Repentance ( You have to repent of every sin you commit, You better have a good memory)\n          5. Enduring to the end of your life in righteousness. Go to step 4 each time to you sin.\nAlong with this there is marriage in the  Mormon temple (You can't become a god without being married). Everyone is also asked to pay a full tithe (Ok they got one thing right) and do volunteer service for the church (They have no paid ministry. That isn't bad either but someone should tell them that pastoring a local christian church is a full time and a half job and it doesn't pay well at all. Men and women that do it are called of God No one would go into that kind of work on their own..\n\n\nJim

Yes, Keith Van Horn Played for Diamond Bar High School (my hometown in California), then played for Utah in College.  The Church he went to was Jesus of Laterday Saints in Diamond Bar when he lived here.  My hometown does not have a lot of Mormons but enough wealthy ones that everyone knows who the mormons are.
