There are a lot of similarities between Islam and Mormonism.  Both have stories of angelic visitations to a founding prophet who was told that Christianity in general had apostatized and that the truth would be restored.  Both religions acknowledge Old and New Testament prophets as significant but that the Bible is ultimately incomplete.\n\nMuslims and Mormons share a similar code of health and standards of dress and conduct, so Muslims and Mormons feel that they can mingle at dances without having their standards threatened.

they are some really nice people, in general. some of their philosophies are a bit overboard, and they can be a bit over zealous. but i think it's really hard to judge them on a fair basis because they are so many different people, and as for their religion, you have to read the book of mormon to understand them. \nit's really kind of a weird philosophy, but so are a lot of religions.

While the Mormon people seem to have great family values, if you do research on the founder of the Mormon faith, he was a con that had an arrest record.  His story of finding the tablets doesn't hold up either.  Check out these websites.\nhttp://www.padfield.com/2005/mormon-comparisons.html\nhttp://www.informationgospel.net/mormonism.htm

I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Better known as Mormon. We believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. They are 3 separate beings. We believe that Jesus was sent to suffer for our sins. We also believe that after he died he came to visit the Americas. That is what the Book Of Mormon is all about is Jesus coming to the American continents after he died.If you want a copy of the Book of Mormon I will send you one free of charge. jgeddes01@yahoo.com (just give me your address)  We believe that God and Jesus both speak to Prophets on earth today. True Mormons are not those people down in Utah Practicing polygamy. They are the ones making us look bad.

-------Hi love jesus he is my prophet.he was a wise prophet.--------\n\nHis teaching annoyed the priests, for every word of Isa was a threat to them and their position, exposing their misdeeds.\n\nThe Roman occupiers had, at first, no intention of being involved in this religious discord of the Jews because it was an internal affair, and they saw that this dispute would distract the Jews from the question of the occupation.\n\nHowever, the priests started to plot against Isa. They wanted to embarrass him and to prove that he had come to destroy the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law provides that an adulteress be stoned to death. They brought him a Jewish adulteress and asked Isa: "Does not the law stipulate the stoning of the adulteress?" Isa answered: "Yes." They said: "This woman is an adulteress." Isa looked at the woman and then at the priests. He knew that they were more sinful than she. They agreed that she should be killed according to Mosaic Law, and they understood that if he was going to apply Mosaic Law, he would be destroying his own rules of forgiveness and mercy.\n\nIsa understood their plan. He smiled and assented: "Whoever among you is sinless can stone her." His voice rose in the middle of the Temple, making a new law on adultery, for the sinless to judge sin. There was none eligible; no mortal can judge sin, only Allah the Most Merciful.\n\nAs Isa left the temple, the woman followed him. She took out a bottle of perfume from her garments, knelt before his feet and washed them with perfume and tears, and then dried his feet with her hair. Isa turned to the woman and told her to stand up, adding: "O Lord, forgive her sins." He let the priests understand that those who call people to Almighty Allah are not executioners. His call was based on mercy for the people, the aim of all divine calls.\n\nIsa continued to pray to Allah for mercy on his people and to teach his people to have mercy on one another and to believe in Allah.\n\nIsa continued his mission, aided by divine miracles. Some Qur'anic commentators said that Isa brought four people back from the dead: a friend of his named Al-Azam, an old woman's son, and a woman's only daughter. These three had died during his lifetime. When the Jews saw this they said: "You only resurrect those who have died recently; perhaps they only fainted." They asked him to bring back to life Sam the Ibn Noah.\n\nWhen he asked them to show him his grave, the people accompanied him there. Isa invoked Allah the Exalted to bring him back to life and behold, Sam the Ibn Noah came out from the grave gray-haired. Isa asked: "how did you get gray hair, when there was no aging in your time?" He answered: "O Spirit of Allah, I thought that the Day of Resurrection had come; from the fear of that day my hair turned gray."\n\n\n\n\n------------------------he was a helping hand.------------------------------\n\nIsa was on his way to the temple. Although it was the Sabbath, he reached out his hand to pick two pieces of fruit to feed a hungry child. This was considered to be a violation of the Sabbath law. He made a fire for the old women to keep themselves warm from the freezing air. Another violation. He went to the temple and looked around. There were twenty thousand Jewish priests registered there who earned their living from the temple. The rooms of he temple were full of them.\n\n----------------------HE IS A GREAT PROPHET--------------------------

Wow! I never linked them together but these similarities are uncanny. The Mormons believe that God use to be a man, I don't think that the restoration movement teaches this.

I will give this a shot, so to speak.\nI am going to give this, but if you want all the scripture references, then it will be very lengthy.  But I can put them here.  \nAbraham had two children Ishmael, through a slave woman, and Isaac through his wife.  The Christian linage follows the seed of Isaac.  Ishmael (father of all arabs) was thrown out of the family.  Anyway the linage of God and his people Israel follow Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, God changed his name)  Anyway that is where it all started.  \nIslam came about with the prophet Muhammad around 1400 when he wrote the Koran.  And it has developed from there.\nThe people of God, the Jews are the source of the Bible and Jesus was born the Messiah and as you know died for our sins.  Jesus said a lot of very definite things about himself that left no room for any other way to get to God.  Muhammad recognises Jesus as a prophet, but says that the Bible is totally wrong, but does not have any writings of Jesus.  This leaves Jesus as a sort of silent Prophet for them.  They concentrate on Muhammad and sort of ignore Jesus and any writings of his.  The teaching of Muhammad and Jesus are directly opposite even as their lives were.  Jesus never married and was finally killed for our sins.  Muhammad had a number of wives and one was a 6 year old girl that he consummated at the age of 9.  Anyway Christianity and Islam are at opposite ends completely.\nThere are copies of the Koran on the net and you can read them, they say some pretty gruesome things.  The Muslim community is trying to white wash the Koran, but unless they decide to re-write it they can not deny what it says.  The peaceful ones ignore the violent passages and quote the non violent passages.  The violent ones quote the violent passages to justify killing everyone.  And the passages are in there.  The Christian is bound by love your enemy and do good to them that hate you.  Directly opposite.  I can give the scriptures but it will be much longer.

I hope you will be fair and clear on your research, and make the distintion between fundamental Mormons and\nThe church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.\n\nAs a LDS for 30yrs, I love the LDS doctrines.\nIt is the best path I choose.\nI always disappointed in most people who missundertood or got the wrong idea about LDS, because so many wrong info out there. \nI could say, LDS can respect other religions, but unfortunately, not all religion can tolerate LDS.

www.lds.org is a good starting place to learn more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\nThe name Mormon actually belongs to a prophet named Mormon who lived about 400 years after the time of Christ. He was responsible for compiling a record of the Nephites and Lamanites - people who lived in the Americas anciently and who originally came out from Jerusalem around 600 B.C. just after the era of Isaiah and Jeremiah in the Bible. The Book of Mormon has an interesting mission - it testifies of Jesus Christ AND supports the Bible as well. We believe in a living prophet today - just as in the time of the Bible, and we also have 12 Apostles who have had a special witness of Jesus Christ. I have met a few of them, and when you look into their eyes you know that they know that Jesus Christ is alive and very much involved with the past, present, and future of the children of God. \nBy the way, you may get a few anti-Mormon answers by asking this question. Believe me, I've heard just about everything and I promise you there is an answer for anything brought up. Have a happy day.

Yes they are point clear reason why is because everything you just said was infact the truth we all know that the jesus the mormons follow who went to americas is indeed not the jesus we read from the word of God which is the bible. The book of mormon also the book of nomrom is  a false doctrine to lure people away from the state of the fact that the bible is the only true word of God there is there is no other book in its existence that can come close to the bible it would already be in the bible if that was true fact. So there fore the book of mormon can not be true.\nEveryone who has done there research on the fact that the book of pearl of great price was indeed stolen from egyptain helographic's from the egyptain book of the dead. Fact and proven. A mormon can state all they like that they know it to be true but when you ask them how do you know it to be true they say well my heart told me and God said not to trust the heart for the heart is wikked. Jesus also said when you pray pray this way our father who art in heaven.\nNot to the spirit of God but to the father as it says not to a made up heavenly father but to God the one who created you. Chrstians say in the name of the father the son and the holy spirt amen or sometimes they well say in the name of jesus amen mormons and i say these things in the name of jesus christ amen. Why do they say i say these things in the name in stead of saying in the name lol?

Excuse me but dont come on my board and make little threats to me about violation lol im very aware of the protocol of yahoo.\nYou dont have to respond just shows your acting like a dumb cult member lol.

They are wrong, and they won't go to Heaven I'm afraid.  It says in the Bible that nothing is to be added yet they went and made a whole extra testament!  Also, what's all that rubbish about Mormons inheriting their own planet when they die?  I have a former Mormon friend, who is now a Christian, he uses the analogy that Mormonism is like seeing a cardboard cut-out of The Beatles, whereas Christianity is like meeting them in person - there is just no comparison.  Sorry Mormons, you are wrong...you need to get yourself a personal relationship with Jesus or your off to Hell.

Yes, and some dude wrote about it too.  What makes mormons a cult is the fact they believe American Indian fiction.  (that would make an interesting conversation - you: so I hear you believe in American Indian folklore  they: .... it's true, I KNOW it is!)

I liked that the site at least wasn't so blatantly rude as some are--but you really can't take information like that at face value. Most obvious is that this site isn't objective. I don't think it really claims to be--but it must be understood that it is making the argument that the Book of Mormon is incorrect. Therefor it isn't going to give you any of evidences that HAVE been found. This is pretty important. There are A LOT of mysteries about the Book of Mormon--but there are also more and more explanations. \n\nSomething I found interesting about the site is that they ad the disclaimer that no "non-mormon" archeological evidence for such and such. While I wouldn't agree with that on ALL points it really must be noted that Mormon archeology can't be discounted just because it is done by Mormons. Mormons obviously have great interest in Book of Mormon archeology...more so than much of the world. In Meso-America (where it is most often thought the BoM took place) it is estimated that out of KNOWN ancient ruins--a mere 5% have been excavated and researched. I've been to many of the sites and it is simply staggering. Interesting building have been uncovered on a particular site--but there are hundreds of mounds covered in growth that are known to be more buildings and more cities. They are still covered up because "independent" and Mormon archeologists just don't have the time or money yet. So just realize--the evidences have just begun. \n\nOkay, so if you REALLY want to know the truth, then at least get both sides. Here is a movie you really need to see if you are interested in evidences. It is called "A Journey of Faith". It is a great movie made in part by F.A.R.M.S and it outlines much of the evidences that we have supporting Lehi's journey out of Jerusalem. It has some amazingly convincing evidence showing how well the BoM account lines up with real geography, political movements, etc. You can get it off of BYU Bookstore, Deseret Book or any place like that. But really--if you want to see both sides--you have GOT to see this video. \n\n\nOkay, so some point by point reconciliations for whatismormonism.com. And I'm tell you, there information is FULL of holes which is why is is SO important to get both sides of the story. \n\n"The theory that the American Indians are descendants of the Hebrews is genetically incorrect. No one questions this anymore due to the DNA testing available today which wasn't available in the 1800's."\nThis is easily refuted. The DNA testing didn't (and couldn't) take into account all the variables and it simply doesn't prove anything other than that "natives" in America have DNA with Asiatic influences. How in the world does that prove the BoM wrong?? We simply don't know enough about the people the BoM talks about. Jaradites? How in the world do we know what their DNA should look like? Lehi was of the tribe of Manassah...but what does that really mean? What about Zoram? Ishmael? What about other groups that could have migrated to the Americas? The BoM NEVER says that they were the only people there. Interestingly enough, reading between the lines actually suggests that there WERE other people there when Lehi's group arrived. \n\n"There never was a reformed Egyptian language. And Hebrews didn't write in Egyptian."\nIt depends on what "reformed" means. There WERE at least two variants of Egyptian. One was used more for religious texts. Plus Nephi simply could have been "reforming" Egyptian for his own uses. "Hebrews didn't write in Egyptian"?? First off, Lehi, being of the tribe of Manassah would have likely had ties to Egypt. Ding ding ding! The very name "Lehi" was used in the Arabia/Egypt area at the time. Why not? Not to mention that Egyptian would have taken up less room then Hebrew which makes sense if you have limite

Since your religion started in the middle-east, why are you surprised that your prophets were from that region?  I don't think there was a lot of communication between that part of the world and Europe, America or Russia when your books were being written.  Do you?

Yes, I have read it.  Actually, my mom knew the women in it before the Lafferty brothers killed here.  The deal with this book is that it is definetely written by an individual who is not a fan of Mormonism and his bias is obvious.\nThat being said the actual factual information about the Lafferty's and the FLDS group is really very good and the book does a good job of laying these problems out.  Krakeur is also correct in pointing out that these at least partially results from a larger problem in Mormonism.  Mormonism is like Islam in that can breed extremism if not careful.  Hopefully Mormons will be more successful in dealing with these issues than muslims.\nOverall, I thought the book was an excellent historical work on some touchy issues that are not discusses as much as they should but I wish it would have been a little more objective.

In my opinion it is a false religion , and it is being pushed around the world by a few Muslim clerics that have sold the idea that Mohamed ascended into heaven met with God and was told how Muslims should pray, and what was to be put in the Koran, from there he returned to earth and presented this to the people, is this starting to sound familiar, It dose not take a brain surgeon to see how this story came about.  In my opinion they have simply taken from the holy bibles contents, and have rewritten it and call it the Koran, and it has become a very powerful religion through threats, murder, rape, and many other atrocities.   The Jews know it, and the Christians know it, and yet people are still caught up under it's spell, and continue to convert.  Tolerance is being pushed into a corner, and we all know what happens in that situation.
