Mormon question: do Mormons believe that murder is unforgiveable, i.e., there is no forgiveness for that sin?

Question

I think I heard that from someone before. If it's true, from what text does this understanding come? In the Mormon understanding, this just means that the highest level of exaltation, i.e., returning to Heavenly Father, is forever to be denied the person who murders, right? Is this understanding of Mormon doctrine accurate?

PS Please don't waste my time if you don't have a serious answer that adds to the discussion.

A really good thing to do would be to give me the text or reference from which the understanding (whatever it is) comes.

Answer 1

We believe that through true repentance that you can be forgiven. It would probably take a long time. That person would have to deal with the consequences of their actiions and change their life completely. Jesus Christ died for our sins, so I don't believe that there is anything our Heavenly Father won't forgive you of, but we don't pretend to know where a person is going. That's up to Heavenly Father.

Answer 2

My understanding of Mormon doctrine is that "blood atonement" BY the person who committed the murder is required (i.e., unlike orthodox Christianity, where the Blood of Christ washes away all sin).

Remember the murderer Gary Gilmore? He requested death by firing-squad rather than hanging, because he was a Mormon.

Notice that Utah is the only state that offers "firing squad" as an option for execution. This is for true believing Mormons who murder.

Look it up.

Answer 3

tHESE ARE NOT MY WORDS! This is STRAIGHT from the Mormon doctrine. Before you dismiss it look at the reference.



And now, behold, I speak unto the church. Thou shalt not kill; and he that kills shall not have forgiveness in this world, nor in the world to come.… And again, I say, thou shalt not kill; but he that killeth shall die.… And it shall come to pass, that if any persons among you shall kill they shall be delivered up and dealt with according to the laws of the land; for remember that he hath NO FORGIVENESS; and it shall be proved according to the laws of the land. (February 1831, D&C 42:18–19, 79)

If you say this is incorrect, and you are a Mormon, you are denying your own book. Shows how incorrect the book and it's people are.

Answer 4

LDS individuals settle for that Jesus replaced into the marvelous sacrifice for our sins, His dying has the skill to cleanse us if we settle for Him and shop on with His commandments. although the religion vs works that the different church homes decide for to apply against the LDS is fake. in case you examine James 2, you will see that that's crammed with verses stressing faith without works is lifeless. faith and works are 2 facets of an identical coin, you could have one with the intention to have the different. Rev 20 tells us that all and sundry would be judged in the previous the Judgment seat by using our works. What works? Following Christ's rules. A examining of the hot testomony provides you with a stable theory of what they are. And, definite area of what desolate tract Rose says is actual. individuals of the Church nicely known that the backyard of Gethsemane replaced right into a significant area of Christ's atonement. yet she is incorrect that individuals of the Church provide up there. Many Christians carry that each and everything replaced into with regards to the go, that Jesus died for our sins there. yet the place did the sins which He died for come from? The backyard the place Jesus prayed and took upon Himself all the sins of mankind. He carried those sins with Him to the go the place He atoned for them. for this reason giving us the loose present, if we can settle for that present.

Answer 5

That is incorrect. A murderer can find forgiveness, but luckily we are not the judges.

Answer 6

I don't understand the question.

Answer 7

I'll answer if I want to.
