The whole belief system of Mormons is based on Visions, Messengers, Prophecy, and Revelation, yet even though the bible is chalked FULL of all this stuff, and even though most Christians SHOULD accept this as a normal part of how GOD communicates...if it has to do with Mormons, it's completely false! Shouldn't Christians at least check into all this stuff considering it's so much a part of their religion??? I did, and when I read up on all the happenings of the beginning of the church I KNEW that it was in fact the TRUE church of JESUS CHRIST, brought forth to prepare us for his coming.

ok jd ill ask u this what are they so afraid of is the whole idea
because someone felt the promptings of the spirit doesnt mean they are going to act on their own beliefs
i believe the bible says ask and u shall receive
knock and receive an answer
then we move on to james 1:5 stating if any of u should lack wisdom just ask and god will answer
but james 1:6 says but if u ask in disbelief and not in faith you will get no answers
keep asking ur questions they r fantastic

Not quite. The Mormon doctrine puts a very high value on a book called the Book of Mormon and a person they believe to be a prophet, Joseph Smith. Christians do not believe Joseph Smith was a prophet and they do not believe the Book of Mormon is from God.
I don't hate Mormons at all. They are amongst the nicest people on the planet, in my opinion. It is the doctrine the Mormon church teaches that I disagree with.

So, you really honestly believe that Adam and Eve came from the south, that the American Indians are actually lost Israelites, that an angel brought gold plates to Joe Smith then came back to get them after he "translated" them by looking at them with rocks, that the christian god was a man who became god, that if you're good and obedient, you can become a god, that there's marriage in heaven, that the earth is only 6000 years old... and much more thats just ridiculous?
Wow, I've really been picking on the wrong group. Sorry Christians - you don't seem quite as nuts now that I've done a little reading on the Mormons...

It would be safe to say that the Historic Christian church has read the book of Hebrews and know the order of things that God has revealed.
The notion of Mormon visions and prophecy is an interesting phenomenon. The false prophecies are interesting to look at and it only takes 1 of them to make the person a false prophet!

We don't hate Mormons. We also believe in modern day prophets and visions and revelations. The bible does speak very clearly on these things. What we don't go for is false teachings and adding to the Book that God gave to us.

Nobody I know hates Mormons.
No Christian I know accepts false prophets either, and there's no evidence whatsoever to backup anything LDS church prophets claim, but much evidence to prove them false.
If the fellow who shows up near the end of days, purporting to be Jesus, claims to be a brother of Satan, and says he's just one of many gods, he'll be the Jesus the Mormons know, but not the Jesus we Christians worship.
The authentic Christian faith is based on the teachings of Jesus and the apostles ... the real ones ... not some latter day wonders.

I'm LDS, and I really don't get that either. It's like when nonmembers say Joseph Smith "added on to the Bible" (which is false, btw, it is a separate book) but there are many different versions of the Bible itself! I don't understand. This is why I love the LDS church, it has so much order and clarification.....

There have been no Prophets of God since John The Baptist... The Word of God was compleat with Christ... so there is no need for God to communiate any "new" Words Through the voices of man... the definition of prophet, in realtion to God's word since it was compleated in Christ Jesus, is as a teacher of, or one who takes, The Word, as it is compleated in Christ,. to the World.... NOT as a revealer of new words.
As for the mormon cult teaching... it is based on nothing... it is a man invented "religion"... the inventor of the "mormon doctrine" claimed to have received a compleatly new bible directly from God... it this is truth... would not that so-called bible be the only thing they would need to instruct their masses.... and for generations they taught their people that Christians were the enemy and that the Christian Bible was a lie... now they claim to be christian and even to use the christian bible... they even give out King James Bibles,,, edited from what I have been told by those who have read them... But why do they do this if they have been given the true bible directly from their god????... Where is their bible that all...ALL... of those close to the founder and of high rank in the cult , claimed to be absolutly the bible from god...and they shouted this far and wide... then it vanished from public view... why??? sound fishy??? dose to me... all I I have ever read or heard from them smells to high heaven.... if the bible of the mormon god is not good enough to see the light of day or to teach the masses from... then they have nothing...yes I have read the mormon stuff... I came very close to becoming one at one time... I went thtough all the recruters had me do... on two occasions.... untill I started to "check into all this stuff" on my own... and found out just how empty what they have really is.... even back then, when I was very anti Christian and a mocker of those of the Christian Faith,..,, even then I could see the Christians had much more to offer than any emptiness of the mormon cult.... I just wish it had not taken me 30 more years to come to The Truth of God's Word and Will for me...
The Faith of The True Christian is not in any book it is in God and God alone... The Bible of The Christian faith dose not prove God to the Christian.... God proves The Bible...

Most Christians do not judge, the ones that do really do not get the big picture. Mormons have a right to their version of who and what God is.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Satan, but its certainly not to be compared to or even a substitution for The Bible.
Dude, obviously ur out recruiting, I wish Mormons could channel their energy and time into more important and world changing things than baptizing themselves to convert people who are dead and shoving their 'truth' down our throats. U believe you are the only right ones and that is that. Read the last Paragraph in The Bible. 'Nuff said.
