The handful of Mormons I know are nice enough people with polite kids but the cult is kooky and can give off a children of the corn vibe. I even went to a Mormon service once out of sheer curiosity on an invite from an acquaintance and couldn’t get out of that place fast enough when it was over.

Imagine worshiping a religion founded by a 14-year-old at the time that was tripping balls and it’s not even 200 years old

Please point me in a direction for a comprehensive video to date of this entire BAM situation. Thanks.

You don’t worship a religion.

How long should a religion be around before you give it credence?

I think he was 24. I've known many Mormons, some are close friends of mine. They're good people. I've always said Mormons make great neighbors. But yeah, I'd never believed anything from that religion

I mean.
They aren't Christian.
They're also a cult.

First, you have some Mormons trying to steal $200K of Legos from a dying man and using the local PD full of Mormons to protect them go viral
Normal heritage Americans are getting shaken down from every angle.

Then he tried to tell me that Jesus was the devil's brother and that some spirit came down to Joseph Smith and told him to start this religion. I told him that's not something I'm interested in hearing.
They were terrible Mormons then, because this is nothing like what the Mormon Church believes. Mormons absolutely are Christians, though with some odd ideas too.
quote:
In 1820, a 14-year-old Joseph Smith, confused by the differing claims of various Christian denominations, prayed to know which church was right. In response to this prayer, known as the First Vision, he recorded that he was visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ, who told him to join none of them.
A very convenient answer for Joseph Smith, of course. But the very foundation of the Mormon Church goes back to a prayer answered by both God and Jesus.
To understand the Mormons you have to understand what was happening in the country at the time.
quote:
The 1800s were a massive catalyst for new religious movements. Driven by the Second Great Awakening, global exploration, and cultural shifts, several major faiths emerged, including Mormonism (1830), the Bahá'í Faith (1863), Spiritualism (1850s), Seventh-day Adventism (1863), and Christian Science (1879)
I grew up exposed to the Mormon teachings. And a pretty young age decided it was rather silly. I think there is an advantage to starting off with a rather obviously nonsensical religion. The idea that you were lucky and happened to have been born into the correct religion is pure silliness too.
But as nonsensical as the Mormons are, they definitely are Christians. I find it funny how much the other competing faiths hate them. Probably something to do with their relative membership growth rates. And yeah, if I'm hiring people then I'm going to be hiring as many Mormons as possible.

Mormonism is a white American version of Islam.
Yeah I don't think so. Unless you can tell of occurrences where morons regularly killed people that wouldn't join their cult.

Mormonism’s 200 year attempt to ease its way quietly under the great umbrella of the Christian Church, an attempt that has become much more vigorous in the last two decades as American Christians have become, on the whole, more ignorant of Church theology and history, which coincides with the decline of mainstream Protestantism and the rise of emotional Protestantism, reminds me of ULL insisting ESPN call it the University of Louisiana or Louisiana. After further consideration, ULL is closer to being the University of Louisiana than Mormonism is to being a branch of the Church.
TulaneLSU is like the Michelangelo of message board poasting. PHD dissertations will be written on the corpus of TulaneLSU postings. But this post, this work of art, is truly his sistene chapel. In 500 years men will weep in awe at the effortless genius of this post.

Christians dont believe that when they die that they get their own planet and become a God themselves. This is just one of the many crazy things they believe that arent even in the same realm as Christianity.
I knooooooow alooooooot of Mormons (wife converted from LDS to Catholicism).
Other Mormons that ive know that left LDS, left for Scientology....that right there let's you know how things are in their mental/theological headspace
ETA: they are very nice people and helped out a lot after my mother-in-law died unexpectedly and they are very welcoming, hardworking people.
I cannot and will not talk to religion about them though as its a cult

My fav is the fella who carries giant cross and sets up street preaching at the worst places and times (eg, Bourbon St at 3am on Sat night).
One night I was on Bourbon St and figured out that fellow’s game…and it has nothing to do with religion, He simply sets up his spot preaching through his bullhorn which drives all of the customers from the businesses on both sides of the street in that immediate area. Soon, a doorman or bouncer will come out and hand him a wad of cash to move. He pulls this same stunt in various locations up and down the street until he runs out of locations.

I can’t imagine a religion that forbid you from having alcohol or even caffeine and you have to wear underwear to cover your body

You might want to do some research into the Utah War and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Mormons rebelled against the US government and actively engaged the US military in violent confrontations.
To that extent, they were not successful. They were subjugated.
Putting it within the context of the current war with Iran - the Mormons capitulated to the US government to avoid being destroyed.

why would it be found in Judaism?
Oh, perhaps because it would make sense for the first religion God established for his chosen people would be founded on the worship of his true nature. Christianity is directly linked to Judaism, worship the same God, and again, there's that little fact that Jesus was both born a Jew and died a Jew.
quote:
Christ fulfilled/completed Judaism
How can a false religion be fulfilled/completed?
quote:
Do you not understand the "New" part of New Covenant/Testament?
It is in the new testament where Jesus is directly called the firstborn of all creation, written by a member of the new covenant.
quote:
Christ practiced Judaism to perfection
My point stands. If Judaism neither then nor now believes in the Trinity, you are saying that God himself practiced false worship.
