Mormomism and Christianity are not the same

Cult (Encarda Dictionary) noun

Definition:

1. religion: a system of religious or spiritual beliefs, especially an informal and transient belief system regarded by others as misguided, unorthodox, extremist, or false, and directed by a charismatic, authoritarian leader

2. religious group: a group of people who share religious or spiritual beliefs, especially beliefs regarded by others as misguided, unorthodox, extremist, or false. According to this definition...almost all religions are cults. I agree Mormonism isn't Christianity....because I believe following Christ and believing who He said he was, is essential to salvation. But most of the mormons I know in real life DO consider themselves Christians...and squabbling over it doesn't do anyone any good.

i agree with this one but it is still a bigotted remark as the one that al sharpton made

also if you go to utah where the majority of the people are mormon the are those who aren't who don't think that the above is a valued point




we believe in multiple gods yes but we also believe that there is only one god for this planet



and so does the pope and so did the prophets of old. by the way the current president of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints also gets direct revelation from god

so now you will tell me that god just stopped caring about his people becouse it is the 21st century



mormons do believe what christ said

he said he was the salvation of the world

he did not say he was god



we also believe that we are all brothers/sisters of christ and the devil

in revelations it talks about the falling of 2/3rds of the stars who became the devil and his followers

we believe that the bible is a history of the people in the old world

and the book of mormon is a history of the people in the new world

the history of gods involvment with both groups

now tell me this assume you were god and you had two groups of people seperated and will not be able to come in contact with each other for milliniums are you only going to tell one group how to get back home or are you going to tell both of them

Heh, it's not even worth talking about with you people.

Nice job, danielost. You may not be too bad of a cookie yet.

sorry i forgot i was wrong about the pope

he claims to be god

just as the roman leaders did

What is Mormomism? And what is Christainity?

LOL.

The belief that there should be more mothers in the church - that's why they have so many kids.

Haha. And I learned that just in time for Mother's Day. Terrific.

Hmmmmm, let's see. To be Christian means you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and that only by Him can we be saved.

I have accepted Christ as my personal savior and only through Him can I be saved.

Also, there is no such thing as "Mormonism", so you are right on that point. Christianity does exist, but "Mormonism" doesn't.. so they aren't the same. :~D


You are right on another point. No Christian (or anyone else) should be made to feel like they have to vote for anyone based on their religious beliefs. Heck, I may not vote for Romney, and didn't vote for Orrin Hatch. Also there is no way on God's green Earth I would vote for Harry Reid.

BTW, I used to think Mormons were douche bags until I met you guys.

I went to a funeral for a kid (11 or 12 yo) who was a LDS Deacon(?). I was really offended by the way the funeral was performed (instead of being a memorial service for the kid, it was a 2 hour "history of the Mormon church" lesson).

I am happy to say that I was mistaken in judging the faith by my one bad experience.

So go vote for Hillary or Obama, she's supposedly "Methodist", and I forget what he claims to be. I'm sure their consistant track record of supporting partial birth abortion, etc., will better reflect "Christian Values" than a Mormon candidate *snort*. If Romney is the candidate and anyone votes Dem because he isn't "Christian" they need to have their head examined.

mormons are called mormons becouse of the book of mormon

and the only real difference between mormons and the so called real christian churchs is

mormons believe that god, christ, and the holy ghost/spirit are three individuels

where as

the so called real christian churchs believe that god, christ, and the holy ghost/spirit are the same person

danielost: Who are you talking to?

whomever is listening and the guy who started this post

OK

I wonder how the author of this would feel if I said. Christianity is not a real religion, only Judaism is. Remember Jesus is a JEW, He never called himself a "CHRISTIAN" that is some made up religion long after he died.

Hows that for nasty, cruel and mean?

I'll never understand why someone would feel the need to denigrate someone else's religion or spiritual beliefs.

Well said MM.

Nope, sorry, cookie revoked due to stupidity.

AMEN.

nasty? Cruel?

Wrong on both counts. Accurate?

Right. It is not a mistake that Pope JPII appologized to the Jews. It was necessary. for without that appology, we could not be true Christians. Believing as we do.

It is time to stop singling out Judeo Christian religions as heretics. Until one understands their belief systems. Sadly most never do. I am fortunate. I have been immersed in the Protestant faith, raised in the Catholic one, and blessed with the teachings of several Rabbis in the Jewish faith. And so I dont think any are heretics, satan, or non-believers. I find true faith in all.

I did not include Muslim, Hindu and Buddist, as I have studied the faiths, but not been immersed in them. So I do not condemn them. I only plead ignorance. Studying a faith is not the same as living it. And I doubt many could live all. But accepting them is not the same as believing in them. Understanding them is always better, not condemning them without understanding them is what my faith teaches me. And so I posted on this blog. Not an al Sharpton, but equally as venomous as his remarks is the originator.

Yeah that Methodist Cult...ya just never know about em.  

Yeah he did, and more importantly, He didn't correct others when they referred to Him as the Messiah/God and did correct them when they implied He wasn't God.

Ex:

The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple. (John 8:57-59)

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:6-9)

Being a Christian (to me) means accepting/believing/obeying Jesus as One God (who He claimed to be) and believing He paid for my sins on the cross, and inviting Him into my life as Lord and Savior.

Of course in some places that would make me part of a cult....heh.

You people meaning????

these are some of our beliefs

we call them the articles of faith

to any who are wondering

1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.

3 We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. (See Priesthood Organization home page)

6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. (See Gifts of the Spirit)

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. (See Prayer, Fasting, and Revelation home page)

10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory. (See Second Coming of Jesus Christ home page)

11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. (See Politics: Political Teachings; Tolerance)

12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. (See Teachings About Law home page)

13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul--We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

AW forget it SC...I am feeling bitchy today, that's the only reason I even responded.

Sorry.

YOUR brand of Christianity and Mormonism are not the same. How can you presume to speak for all Christians worldwide?

Personally, I think if you're going to "clean house" in the church, you oughtta run out the backbiters, the backstabbers, the malicious gossips and the like before you put the Mormons to the sword.
