Who are the Mormons ? What they Teach /?

Question

Please tell me about the Mormons . What they want the world to get belief in Mormon which is not of Christ ?

Answer 1

Mormons (deemed that name from another volume of scripture that they have called the Book of Mormon, their official name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or LDS or Latter Day Saints for short)) believe in God the eternal Father and in his Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. They believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly, as well as other scriptures (called the Book of Mormon-Another Testament of Jesus Christ; which gives an account of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and their dealings with God). They believe in the atonement of Jesus Christ, they believe that it is through our faith in Jesus Christ that we may be saved and also through this faith that we have the abilities to do good works. They believe that everyone (with out exception) are sons and daughters of God the Eternal Father and are spiritual brothers and sisters. They also believe in the Great Apostasy (the falling away of the Church as established by Jesus Christ and His apostles through persecution and murders, etc. through out the ages). They believe in the Restoration of that ancient church in present times through the calling of a new prophet (which, LDS people believe in modern day prophets and modern day revelation). They believe that in the spring of 1820, a young boy of the age of 14 had a question of, "Of all the churches that exist, which one is the church that Christ formed?"(You can’t believe that God is an unchanging being and yet he can tell one church to live by one doctrine and despise another doctrine, and then tell another church something completely different, doesn’t work. This young boy had a desire to learn about God the Father and his son Jesus Christ, so while reading in James 1:5, he determined that he would ask the Lord in prayer to know which of all, if any, of the churches was the church that Jesus Christ formed. LDS members believe that in a response to his prayer, he received a vision, a personal appearance of God the Eternal Father and his son Jesus Christ, in which they told him none of the churches was their church, that, "they all are close to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." Later, Joseph Smith was called to do a work for the Lord, to "restore" the primitive church to how it was set up by Christ (as one may read in the Bible). He translated the book of Mormon from gold plates through the power and authority of God, John the Baptist appeared to him and a man named Oliver Cowdrey to restore the Aaronic Priesthood (once again, lost through the apostasy), later, Peter, James and John appeared to Joseph and Oliver to restore the Melchizedek Priesthood (also lost through the apostasy), giving Joseph the power and Authority to restore the church through divine guidance and revelation. Today the LDS Church has a modern day Prophet (Gordon B. Hinckley the 15th Prophet since Joseph Smith), a quorum of 12 apostles, several quorums of seventies, priests, teacher, etc. You may hear that LDS members worship Joseph Smith, but that is not so. He was an instrument in the Lord's hands and was called to do a mighty work on this earth(the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ), and for that, we members are grateful for his efforts and his works that he did in the service of the Lord, we are grateful for his sacrifice and for the sacrifice of others who were persecuted, beaten, pillaged and murdered, for the sake of their beliefs, but never lost the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of the Almighty God.

Answer 2

I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 37 years and I can tell you that some of the answers you have received are true and others are downright wrong. I know there are a lot of prejudices against the "Mormons" as there are against any religion. My best advice would be to learn everything you can about them. Read the Bible, read the Book of Mormon (you can get one for free), pray about it. We don't brainwash anyone. Also, my wife says that whole thing about the wife being "a good little wife", obedient, etc. is a bunch of bologna. And she's been a member for 20 years.

Answer 4

Mormons are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We believe in Jesus Christ and believe that he is the head of the church. When Christ was on the earth he established his church on the foundation of apostles and prophets with Christ being the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:20) After Christ's death, the apostles were eventully killed off. This led to the apostasy of the early Christian church and years of dark ages. In the 1800's God called Joseph Smith to restore Christ's church on the earth and he once again led his church by revelation to prophets. Joseph Smith received authority from God to lead his church in the last days. Prophets and apostles have been on the earth since this time and we currently have a prophet on the earth who leads the church under the direction of Jesus Christ. We believe in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon. If you read the Book of Mormon and ask God in prayer if it be true, God will let you know that it is true by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Answer 5

Mormons teach that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through Joseph Smith.

Answer 6

They believe that Christ came to the N and S American continent and preached more things than just in the Bible. Do some research online about the Mormons. They are mostly located in Utah nowdays. They were founded by Joseph Smith, who supposedly discovered golden plates written by the angel Moroni. All sorts of stuff that is different than Christianity. check it out online though

Answer 7

Well, I can tell you just a few things I know for a fact.

1. They believe that the Garden of Eden is in Missouri
2. They believe that there are three levels of heaven and no hell.
3. You must have a "temple card" to enter the temple.
4. They believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet because Jesus and God visited him with orders to start the church and write the Book of Morman. They have other books that they teach out of like the Pearl of great price and the covenants and doctrines.
5. They believe that God was once a man who is married to a heavenly mother and that he is the literal father of all mortal beings.
6. They do not believe in original sin
7. When a non-lds person dies they baptize their spirit and convert them to lds.
8. When you are married in the temple the bride and groom are given sacred names of some sort. When the wife dies her husband must call her to his level of heaven by using this secret name. I think that he can also call other wifes to join him in heaven with him.
9. When an lds is buried they are buried with a garmet of somekind that has a fig leaf on the private areas (not real leaves though)
10. Speaking of garments, men and women are issued special garments to wear under their clothes. It is a basic tank top made of a slip like material and the underpants are like a pair of shorts.
11. They believe that the age of accountibility is 7 years old. All practicing mormans children are baptized at this age.
12. They do not consume any caffine or spirits. Drinking tea, coffee and alchohol are all forbidden.
13. No they no longer practice polygamy.
14. They believe in callings and have someone that tells them and determines what their gifts are. (I lived next door to an lds family. Their kids were all "called" to be musical...they had a ton of different instruments in the home and not one of their 7 kids could play)
I have known many mormans. They have all been real nice people. Today, they call themselves Christians, but I personally wouldn't consider them to be. There is so much more than just what I wrote. I STRONGLY urge to research, research and research before joining or attending an Lds church or any non christian church. Hope this helps some.

Answer 8

"Mormons" is the nick name given to the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

Mormon is a colloquial term used to refer to adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement, and most commonly to the movement's original and largest group, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The term is derived from the Book of Mormon, a religious text that Joseph Smith, Jr. said he translated from ancient plates containing a history of the early inhabitants of the Americas that was compiled by a prophet called Mormon. Although many people identify the Latter Day Saint movement as a denomination of Protestantism, Mormons do not consider themselves to be Protestants and do not recognize themselves as part of any larger branch of Christianity, but do consider themselves Christians.[1]

Origin of the term "Mormon"
The term Mormon [2] was first used in modern times in the 1830s as a pejorative to describe those who believed that Joseph Smith, Jr. had been called as a prophet of God, and who accepted the Book of Mormon as scripture.

[[According to Latter-day Saint theology, the term Mormon refers to a prophet who lived in the Americas in the 4th century A.D. He was called of God to abridge and compile the records of his people and their dealings with God into a single book. This book is now known as the Book of Mormon. After Mormon's death, his son Moroni witnessed the complete destruction of his people and buried the record compiled by his father in a hill in what is now upstate New York. This same Moroni, more than 1400 years later, was sent by God as a messenger to Joseph Smith who went to the place where the record was buried, and with a great deal of help from God he translated it into English.]]After Joseph Smith was killed in 1844 at the hands of a mob in a jail cell in Carthage, Illinois, the largest body of Latter-day Saints followed Brigham Young, who eventually became President of his denomination, in an exodus to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving there in July of 1847. Smaller groups of Saints followed other claimants to the church presidency, some staying behind in Nauvoo, Illinois, and others dispersing to separate locations.

Answer 10

The Mormon heavenly father is a self-exalted polygamous man who is the father of Satan on some planet near Kolob, not in our Milky Way galaxy, but in another one, far, far away. The Mormons believe Satan is their brother, they decorate their temples with inverted pentagrams, put occult symbols on their magic underwear so that they can be their own gods, and follow their temple god Lucifer, who leads them on the path to godhood the way he promised Adam and Eve. The Mormons are polytheists and their gods are composed of and limited by natural things like time, matter, and space, and are not therefore "supernatural." Although Mormons profess their god's influence is far-reaching, they believe he can only be in one place at one time. In Mormon theology, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are subordinate and inferior to "Heavenly Father," and even "Heavenly Father" is inferior to the Christian monotheist's God, the most holy Trinity.

Mormons do not worship Jesus Christ as God, they do not pray to Him, they do not have a personal relationship with Him, therefore Mormons are not Christians. They also do not believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and they compromise it.
