They think they are.

Everyone knows I am one of the harshest critics of Moromism here.

But I would never deny you guys are technically Christians.

I would also not want to worship any God who casts people into Hell our the "Outer Darkness" because they had the bad luck to be born into the wrong faith and just don't know anything else.

 

[Cougarbear]

What do you think it takes to be Christian?

Telling people you are.

Well, that last part is exactly what LDS teach too. We believe the words of Peter that Jesus went to preach and teach those who died without the law or knowledge of the truth of God. We believe those who have died without the law or knowledge of Christ can still receive it and be baptized. The baptism has to be done vicariously of course. Just like Paul reminded the people the reason they were performing baptisms for the dead in 1Corinthians 15:29. It's silly to think that where you are born would have anything to do with where your eternal life would reside, heaven or hell. Or, that if you are just an infant the same thing. So, I don't know why you are a harsh critic.

Okay. Latter-day Saints state we are Christian and believe in Jesus Christ. You do know that when Jesus was on the earth teaching, there is no indication that those who joined up with him and were baptized were called Christians. They were called Saints, including by Paul as well.

Each major religion is equally valid or invalid, based on your belief system. Because ultimately they are all based on FAITH.

There are different origins to the different religions, but ultimately they are all faith based.

true but how do they get faith? they either read something or somebody tells them.......this is the way and they agree

same way propaganda works, you get a speaker who convinces you his way is the best way

 

[Mack The Finger]

I think what you think.

Sorry, but time travelers, multiple levels of heaven, the highest level reserved for white people and the lowest reserved for Native Americans, it ain't going to fly.

right but also they have this system where the more "good" you do can bump you up, this is nice as they will help you and they helped me plenty of times but was it just being "nice" or to get another check mark on their score card?

 

[leftwinger]

No. It's a cult. Big temples has that Smith guy on top like he is Jesus Christ? They take everyone's money, required. Men sit seperate side. The chcks are pretty hot. Book of Mormon, not Bible.

Time fucking travelers, magical golden tablets that no one has seen. Founded by a known con artist. Give me a damn break.

Yes! That’s how atheitism works! Propaganda!

She seems like a nice lady. Yeah why can't all you Christians just get along?

 

[egp320i]

Yes! That’s how atheitism works! Propaganda!

goes both ways, that is how everything works when you have a charismatic leader who can convince you of something, anything

so many people get brainwashed, the reason we have all these weird cults where people...........follow the leader

If the iphone was invented 2000 years ago we would have so much proof but as it is most is just a person who remembers or jotted something down, not exactly concrete

Time travelers? Where’d you get that? Liar. Paul taught there are 3 levels or glories and even named two of them, Celestial and Terrestrial. So, we tell the truth what the Bible teaches you don’t which makes you a liar. The Celestial is not reserved for just white people. It’s reserved for those who are valiant in their testimony of Jesus Christ. Liar. The lowest is reserved for liars, murderers and in repentant but do not deny Christ at the judgment bar. Anyone who does denies the Holy Ghost and is not able to get into any level of heaven. So, again, you are a liar.
