What would you do...?

Question

if Jesus Christ came back and told us all that the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints WAS His restored church? Or you die and go to paradise and find out that the LDS church WAS the restored church of Christ?

bamajld, your post is just wrong, on so many levels. Mostly just you interpreting the Bible differently. Mostly because the Bible never mentions THE BIBLE.

Answer 1

Everyone will eventually be saved. Everyone will bow the knee and confess that Jesus is the Christ but some will have to suffer even as Christ suffered if they don't repent. On judgment day they will receive whatever glory they deserve for there efforts compared to the sun, moon and stars. Now is the day to repent not after you die so get busy or your one talent will be given to those who doubled theirs whatever amount they had. Just belonging to a university doesn't give you a diploma

Answer 2

Why don't you stop daydreaming and do some research on your own? I would love for the LDS church to be true. I get my own Planet, live a care free life with my wife or wives depending on wether Polygamy was brought back. Sounds like an eternal self centered bliss for me. I have friends who were LDS and I actually tried to convert . I believe the Jesus part so that should qualify me for instant membership, right? Wrong. All the stuff wether wacky or not just simply was not supported by any facts. I openly challenge any Mormon to show proof the church is true. They cant. That's why the church won't debate the so-called anti's. They would get shredded. They have FARMS and FAIR and I have spent weeks trying to sort through their nonsense. The church does not officially endorse their work . Good Luck on your Journey. I wish you well and hope the best for you.

Answer 3

Well, I do not like to get into denominational things as it really does offend people. There can be no if in this..Jesus will not come back and tell us that..that is not WHY He is returning...He does not change His mind about the sequence of events...it is recorded in scripture. If I find on judgement day that I was wrong about things then I will suffer the consequences.
I believe that there will be people of all denominations in heaven..and I am confident that not one denomination will be any 'restored' church as revelation says that only a remnant will hold fast to His commandments at the end and have the right to the tree of life and to enter the gates of heaven.
As far as I am aware, the LDS as a whole do not..and Revelation saying that there will be a remnant, suggests strongly to me that there will be people who will be from all denominations, who will re look at all the things Jesus Himself taught, spoke about and asked of us..and they will want to do that..therefore people will come out of their churches and find the like believers.

Answer 4

I would feel a sense of peace, just as I do now knowing the same. I just got done reading 2 Nephi chapter 33. I loved it. It has to one of my favorite chapters of the Book of Mormon, after 2 Nehpi2 and maybe a few others. Verse 10 made me think of all that goes on in this section though.

Answer 5

By that time it would be too late to "do" anything.

We each should examine churches now before it is too late. Do this by searching the scriptures to see if the doctrine a church teaches is true. (Acts 17:11)

If a church's teachings agree with the Bible, accept them. If the things a church teaches do not agree with the Bible, reject them. "We ought to obey God rather than man" (Acts 5:29).

By the way, I have found several areas in which Mormon doctrine and Mormon so-called "scripture" does not agree with the Bible. By doing such a search now, I do not have to worry about your future "What if..."!

Mormons teach that there are latter day revelations. The Bible says, "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude 3) Notice "the faith... WAS ONCE delivered." This leaves no room for latter day revelations.

Mormons teach that an angel gave Joseph Smith the Book of Mormon. They call it "another Testament". The Bible says, "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:6-9)

The Book of Mormon teaches that believers were called "Christians" in 73 BC. (Alma 46:15) The Bible says that the desciples were called "Christians first in Antioch". (Acts 11:26) This was about 41 AD.

The Book of Mormon talks about the church also in Alma 46:15. According to the Book of Mormon this was about 73 BC. About 100 years later though, Jesus said "I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18). This means that the church was yet to be established in the future. (It was established shortly after Christ rose from the dead. (See Acts 2.)

Mormons call young, unmarried men "Elders". The Bible says an Elder must be the husband of one wife (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:6) and have children that believe (1 Timothy 3:4, Titus 1:6).

The book of Mormon teaches Jesus was to be born at Jerusalem (Alma 7:10). The Bible teaches Jesus was born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:1)

The Book of Mormon teaches that Melchizedek reigned under his father. (Alma 13:18) The Bible teaches his priesthood was without father. (Hebrews 7:3)

Mormons teach that one person can be baptized for another who has already died. Jesus taught "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved". (Mark 16:16) "He... shall be saved". Not he is baptized and someone else shall be saved. We will each be judged by what we have done, not on the basis of what someone else has done. (2 Cor. 5:10)

The Book of Mormon teaches that at Christ's death, darkness covered the land for three DAYS. (3 Nephi 8:19-23) The Bible says it was three HOURS. (Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44)

Mormons teach that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith translated it into English with the help of God. On the introduction page of the copy I have, there is a statement that "some minor errors" have existed in past editions that were corrected in this publication. If it were God's word and translated with the help of God, then how did it have any errors, no matter how "minor"?

Also, if there are or were minor errors, how can the book be trusted to be correct in the things that relate to showing us the way to serve God and how to be saved?

The Bible is the word of God and it is all we need for our doctrine, for reproof, to correct error, and to teach! (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

I don't mean for these comments to be harsh, but there are many areas where the Bible does not agree with Mormon doctrine. I have given just a few examples and I have cited verses from the Bible and verses from the Book of Mormon so you can investigate it for yourself. If the Book of Mormon contains errors, which it does, then it cannot be the Word of God and it must be rejected.

Answer 6

The church of God is Jesus church-(Acts 20:28
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.)

Answer 7

That certainly would be a surprise...

I do however follow the teachings of a great grandson of Brigham Young,by the name of Dr. Robert O. Young PHD(author of the book:"The PH Miracle.

Answer 8

I know beyond the shadow of doubt that this is his restored church, it's not a matter of "if" this happens, it's more like "when" this happens!

Answer 9

Believing in Jesus requires no particular religion. As long as my heart is true I am good.

Answer 10

How many times is Jesus going to visit before actually doing something?
