Answer 1

Before you laugh at Mormons, look at yourself. Don't you believe in a God who came to earth as his own Son? Isn't that weird?

How can your God split himself into 3 equal pieces, where one of those pieces comes to earth--dies--and is still equal to the pieces that never left heaven?

If God is made up of 3 coequal persons, as you say, why does his name have to be Jesus? He is only 1/3 of the Godhead. Why not call him a combination of ALL THREE persons? Have you thought of that?

So don't laugh at the Mormons. Your beliefs are just as strange!

Answer 2

1) Yes, you are sort of correct. We believe our Heavenly Father was once a man, proved himself, gained exaltation and godhood. It sounds so simple to just say it, but I am positive it took LOTS of time and learning...it wasn't just like "Ok, you can be a god now" I am sure it is much more complicated and we don't really teach a whole lot about it because not a lot has been revealed about the subject.
We also believe we can become like him, never above him, but become perfected, like him, through Christ.
2) No, that is absolutely not correct. Every person who ever lived or will live whether male, female, white, black, asian, whatever, has the opportunity and MUST have the opportunity at some point to accept the gospel and partake of those blessings or reject the gospel. The chance will be either in this life or the next - that is one huge reason we perform by proxy ordinances for those who have passed on, so if they did not have the chance to hear the gospel here on earth, they can be taught the gospel and if they accept, their ordinances are done for them on earth. We perform ordinances for everyone who has passed on, but mostly stick to our own family lines ...

Answer 3

I'm LDS, so I'll answer.

1) Yes - we believe that there are endless generations of gods, and that to become one is a very long process (like eons and eons) of becoming perfect. It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you - the vastness of it is a bit mind boggling - but it at least attempts to answer the question of "who made God?" But we still consider ourselves monotheistic because all those other gods aren't our God, just the one who made us is.

2) No! no! no! a thousand times no! That's a terrible rumor about our beliefs.



side note - Mit Romney has a political record as he was the Governor of Massachusetts, a wise person chooses whether or not to vote for someone based on their political record, not their religion.

Answer 4

There is no "technically" Christian - there are too many false beliefs that opposed to the tenets of Christianity to make it anything other than a cult.
Mitt Romney, the Governor of Massachusetts is a Mormon and running for President.

Answer 5

Actually, several morons are running for president, our job is to try to vote for the least moronic, and frankly, if the Mormon guy has a smarter platform, I will vote for him, regardless of religion. (I am not a fan of any denomination that proselytizes, which includes catholics and protestants as well. and just about every president was either one or the other)

Answer 6

Mormons do so read the book of Mormon. In addition, they mostly endorse the use of the King James Bible. The reason for the latter is that the Book of Mormon was written in a pseudo-King-James style. "And it came to pass that...And it came to pass that...And it came to pass that..." just like a damned parrot. They keep having "revelations" when their beliefs present problems. Like the "revelation" that they shouldn't practice polygyny when it interfered with Utah attaining statehood. (Notice that polyandry was never endorsed.) I like the comparison to Scientology, though. I'd vote for a Southern evangelical bigot or a communist before I'd vote for a Mormon. Scientology? That's off the screen. I'd take up arms if they got any power.

By the way, Mormons are not considered Christian by most of the major Christian faiths. Regardless of what they consider themselves.

Answer 7

Hey! Thanks for asking. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

1. Only kinda based on truths. As far as we know, God the Father is our God, and He's the one we should worship.

2. Completely false. All of God's children have an equal chance to get into heaven.

To learn more of our real beliefs, see this website that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has set up for people of other faiths: www.mormon.org.

Answer 8

Most Mormon probably do not read the Book of Mormon, which makes them like most Christians who don't read the Bible.

Answer 9

umm. no.

who is running for president thats mormon?

mormons are technically christian, they follow jesus, they believe in God the father that christians believe in.

they also follow the teachings, well i think its teachings of joseph smith, who believed that Jesus also revealed himself to native americans. Joseph smith wrote the book of mormon, which is like a sequel to the bible, it goes along with its teachings and whatnot.

Answer 10

Religion, any and all religions can be anything you want them to be. There is no limit to the imagination.
