what do you all think of the mormon religion ?

Question

elaborate , say whatever you like, honest opinions . Thanks!

Answer 1

I think Mormons may be the nicest people I've ever met...I work for a Mormon and he is very kind.

I 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.

I 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.

Answer 2

I am a lifelong Mormon who has discovered that there is an elaborate cover-up about Mormon history. Most Mormons have no idea what went on in the early years of the church. The official history is so far off the real history that it's embarrassing. There are numerous scientific proofs that contradict LDS claims. I'll grant that most Mormons are very good people who are upstanding citizens. They pay their taxes and contribute to society. The only problems is that a lot of it is based on lies. There is a fellow named Bob McCue who is a former Mormon Bishop. He recently left the Mormon church and he has written a LOT about his experiences and difficulties in coming to terms with this major shift in his life. If you have the patience you should definitely check some of it out.

To sum up: The Mormon church is pretty good as it is now. But it's based on too many falsehoods to be taken at face value.

Answer 3

I know several from different factions. They are of the most kind, trustworthy, decent people I know. Their beliefs are off the planet. Mormons or LDS people are a lot like Baptist and Catholic, and so on. They are what they are because that is how they were raised. Most people in most religions did not choose that religion they were born into it. That fact alone makes it difficult to help them see the truth. Try to tell a Baptist he is wrong (and they are probably the most correct of all), you will not get very far. Try to tell a Catholic that Mary is no better that your mother-see what you get.
What we need here is friends in each religion-I know that sounds like anathema-but I would trust you more if you were my friend instead of if you were a Mormon or Methodist. You can ask a friend a question on religion without someone trying to convert you. If we can learn in trust-then the truth can surface.

Answer 4

Okay, I'll try not to offend any Mormons here. I know several Mormon families and they're all very nice (one family has two sons on missions right now, another has one son about to leave).

My biggest problem with Mormons is their religion. They have terrific family values (they're pro-life!), but some of their thinking is
WEIRD! Like how good Mormon men get their own planet, but good Mormon woman *maybe* get to live on their husband's planet (along with all the free virgins that came with it). And how after some racial discrimination suits (because blacks used to not be allowed into their church), they *suddenly* had a vision that black people could be Mormons. WHATEVER!

So, yeah. That's my opinion.

Answer 5

I believe it's true. The true church has always been heavily and deeply criticized. (not to say that those that are deeply criticized are true...)

The children of Israel: Slavery.
Ancient kindom of Judah: Under contstant attack.
Jesus Christ: Crucified
Early Christians: Killed, tortured, crucified, prosecuted
Early Mormons: Extermination order issued in Illinois
Current Mormons: heavily criticized among christian churches.

After that there was an apostocy and there was no true church on the earth.

A church that was led by God through prophets did not exist on the earth for hundreds of years. There were still churches and religion, but none that were LED by god.

Joseph Smith was searcing for the true church (after all, they can't all be true. Not even all the christian churches can be be true).

Joseph asked god which he should join. He was told to join none of them, because although they all taught elements of truth, none of them were true or directed by God. God then directed him and taught him and choose him to be the prophet that would lead his church.

Today the mormon church is still let by prophets just as the ancient church was in the Bible.

So the question is this: Did God choose Joseph Smith to be a prophet? If the answer is "Yes", then it means that his words are just as important as the words of Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, etc.

If he didn't it means the mormon church is a social organization with some good people.

The mormons believe that God leads their church personally. The name of the church is: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Not "A" church of Jesus Christ.

The question really isn't what all of us thinks about the mormon religion, the question is "What does God think about the mormon religion."

I suggest you ask him, not us.

Answer 6

If God were to create a religion, it would be perfect as it is possible when it involves imperfect people. Why wouldn't God create a religion to propagate the truth? Why wouldn't it be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormon)? I've never found a better church.

By the way, while most people just accept the church of their parents, two thirds of the members of the Mormon church are converts.

Answer 7

Too many constraints, very hypocritical, and I don't go for the multiple wives and strict living conditions, especially if it's OK for the man to have a billion wives but ladies can't. No sexism there!! I don't care for most organized religions, not just Mormons. I think they are all full of it in some degree or other. They can have it, just keep them away from me and positions of power (Uh oh, too late on that last one!). Good question!

Answer 8

Scariest group of people I've ever met - I was abused pretty bad by a Morman man. Now I cross the street if I see one of those kids with their backpacks and ties coming toward me.

It's not a religion - it's a corporation. Those poor people have no idea how deluded they are. You ever watch their eyes when they start talking about Jesus and how people should behave? It's like a crazy person - they're just repeating what's been drilled in their head. They're so afraid they won't get into heaven or celestial heaven or whatever they call it.

Answer 9

I think they're sincere, very nice people. They've got good values about family, community, etc.
It's funny but true, that in Utah, the only graffitti I've come across is completely positive and supportive in it's messages!. LOL.
On the other hand, the Mormon church, and some of what thery believe in is incredibly bizzare, creepy, and misleading.

Answer 10

Mormonism was a religion created by Joseph Smith in the late 1800's. It is a false preaching of the Gospel, he used his own personal ideas and manifested the Word to fit his and his followers beliefs.
