What do you think of when I say the word ...Mormon?
349822
Of the day when they talked about their leader seeing God and Jesus together in real life.\nAnd of all the lies they tell.\nAnd that they don't carry a Bible to back up their preaching.\nAnd about the war they carried on that killed so many, as well as the lies they used to get people to get them to disarm, then killed them.\nAbout their many wives, being against God's laws and those of man in many states....even their own.

I also have an argument....why is it that the Mormons did not allow African Americans to sit in their funky little churches until the late 60s, saying it was the word of God?  If what you claim is the word of God, why is it that one minute you make Him all powerful and the next you make Him change His word?  Why one minute African Americans are beneath you and the next you say that it is allowed for them to worship along side you.  The word of God dose not and I repeat dose not change with the times.

I'm a Mormon and to see my basic beliefs check out www.Mormon.org and search for "Basic Beliefs" I would type the Articles of Faith but who wants to read that much on these?

Jehovah's witnesses. Mormons tend to challenge you on your beliefs. In my past experiences, when a Jehovah's witness came to my door, if I told them I was catholic (which I'm not) they would just say "ok" and leave. Mormons, on the other hand, wanted to "compare notes!!" I actually made friends with 4 mormon missionaries, and they really could have gotten into trouble if their superiors knew what they were doing! See, when mormons are going door to door, they aren't allowed to have radios, t.v.'s, or anything else that distracts them from their studies. (this was told to me by these guys.) Well, to make a long story short, they used to come to my house so they could sing karaoke with my girls and me. I have a system set up for home use as well as 2 others that I use for business. We had a good time. :)

I'm kind of flaky with my actual faith, but I've been an active Mormon for a while now.\n\nI have to say that we believe in a pre-mortal existence. That we were all present at the Council of Heaevn when God was establishing his plan of salvation. Satan and Jesus both had ideas about how to do it. Essentially, Satan wanted glory for himself and Jesus wanted to give Glory to God. In order to actually believe this though you have to have a better understanding of the basic principles that under lie the LDS Church.\n\nAnd to say, out right, that the Church is wrong or that the book of mormon is bogus is really childish. There are millions of LDS people in the world today, I find it hard to believe that all of them are wrong.\n\nAnd the Bible says that the Father and the Son are One. This doesn't mean LITERALLY, look at the gospels, Jesus approaches the Father as his Father. They are One in purpose - To bring to pass the immortal life of man, but they are two seperate beings. Even if you look at Hebrew texts they use to words for God - elohim and yahweh. The reason for this is because God is no one being. But like I said, you have to have at least an undersatnding of where the book of mormon came from.\n\nI don't bash other religions. There are so many times I want to say, "No, you've got it all wrong" but I don't because I understand that every person has every right to be what they are.\n\n-------------\nTo Asker:\nI don't believe in one religion. When I say "we believe" in the Mormon church I should have been saying "they believe" My whole philosophy on life is that every religion is right... for someone. That doesn't mean is right or wrong. My friend and I have discussed religion at length and I've come to my own conclusions regarding it. She's Muslim and I am whatever I am. I used to say this to my brother, "Belief in something is better then belief in nothing." That something specific of course referred to God. But anywho, not sure if that answered your question. I'm not totally with it. Perpetually tired.\n\n-------------\nTo Asker:\nMy brother is an atheist and I find it hard to believe in nothing. I think to know that this is all we have and after this is only death is a really hard thing to cope with. Maybe it's what really is, but I think it's better to believe that there is some greater purpose for this life. The Book of Mormon has it's own set of doctrine and beliefs set out. The purpose of it is to testify that Christ is the Savior and help us understand how to live righteously. I'd strongly encourage everyone to read it. My faith is unique. I believe the teachings of the LDS church are correct in some sense. I just have too many things I'm questioning in my life. I'm working on resolving them and I don't know where it is going. Sorry for the confusion. don't base your views on the LDS Church on me because I'm far from the best person. If a person wants to know more I'd suggest lds.org and you can actually read the conference talks etc. Or even talking to missionaries. Anywho, sorry.

yes. I have been a mormon for all my life.  Why you may ask?\nWell, that's simple: because I know the doctrines and principles that the church teaches are true.

No not at all....I'm thankful I have a religion a faith the opportunity to believe, and regardless of what religion a person may be someone is always going to put "their two cents" in on it...Believe in what's right for you...no one can do this for you....and I feel you shouldn't put others beliefs down either..Think about it my parents were raised catholic...so of course me and my siblings were all raised catholic...if they happened to be Mormon than we would be Mormon...like I said before believe in what's right for you as a person, to me God can tell the difference of people sincerity regardless of "what religion you may be" or "which religion you think is right"....

I remember a dinner I had with a super hot girl (1st & last date) and she told me how all Mormons were polygimasts and abducted children to increase their numbers.  I attempted to calmly explain how ridiculous this was and I urged her to reach out to some Mormons to learn the truth, or at least read a little about them.  I don't think it worked, but I tried...

I would think you were a white 24 year old male, who lived in Utah and was a Mormon. I don't think that sums you up. I don't know much about you, apart from some of the things you believe in. I wouldn't know you or judge you, but there are certain things I would do or say differently as to not offend you. There are certain things I would expect from you, carrying around that label. It isn't my issue though. I didn't label you, you did.

as a Mormon i have heard many things over the years and just let people know that i believe that they are wrong, and that they believe i am wrong.  i respect that everyone has their own opinions and i have mine.  people will also make fun of and challenge what is different from their beliefs.  one big thing that we get a lot is that we have more than one wife.  which is not true.  at one point in time we did, but even during that time only 2-5% were apart of polygamy.  another thing i hear a lot is that we re not Christians.  my response is yes we are.  i believe in Christ as my savior and brother to help me get through this life.  i use his teachings in the bible to guide me in what i say act and do.  if this is not a christian than i do not know what is.  getting into Joseph smith is sometimes hard to get  into with those who do not believe, but i just say i believe that he restored Christ church on earth and that he did see god and his son Jesus Christ.  people will either leave you alone or talk bad more.  hope that this helps.

Yes, they do.  However, Mormons will tell you that just because he said it doesn't mean they believe it...which goes against their believing that the words of the prophet/president are the words of God...\n"I know that the Mormon (LDS) church's official stance on ALL races today is that they are to all receive the same blessings according to their faith and diligence."  The key word is "today."  That wasn't the case when the Prophet Brigham Young held the flock under his thumb.  You claim not to pay mind to this because it was well over 100 years ago...The Bible was written 2000 years ago!!!  It only takes a century for the Mormon doctrine to change.  It's been 2000 years for Christianity.  Plus, I've encountered LDS on this site that claim the word of the Prophet to be good enough for them, after all, it really is the word of God.  Why, in the last 150 years had God been so confused?  Does he have Alzheimer's?  For almost two millennium he was solid, then Joseph Smith came along and claimed that God's mind was ever changing.  One cannot trust in a faith that is constantly changing, one that has president's who override past presidents AND the doctrine itself.\n***\nThe LDS keep saying that the remarks sound racist today, but that they didn't back in the 1800's.  His words were the words of God...Was God racist in the 1800's?  Why do you defend him with that answer when all you are really doing is claiming that 100 years ago, God was cool with racism?

I think Mormons may be the nicest people I've ever met...I work for a Mormon and he is very kind.\n\nI agree that they are misled.  I feel sorry for the person I work for, he works so hard at doing all the things that the Mormon church insists you "have to do" to get to a certain "level" of heaven after you die.  He exhausts himself, he doesn't know that we are saved by grace, not our works.\n\nI think it's very sad that these wonderful people follow a false gospel (the Book of Mormon) and a false prophet (Joseph Smith)...I pray for their release from the false church of Mormonism, that they may become born again and have a personal relationship with the true Jesus Christ, the biblical Christ, not the Jesus of Mormonism.
