Explain why you are not a mormon or another cult.?

Question

Then ask your self three things in general.

If i became a mormon or apart of another cult how would it benefit me?

If i was a god of another kingdom would this be my destiny?

Is there really three heavens does James in the bible really talking about actually three separate heavens?

My answers no the only thing i am going to get out of it is a large variet of different women telling me they cant sex before marriage but end up doing it anyhow. Pretty much liars

Second question i would have to say being a God of my own world would then make me not a christian For this is why God kicked out satan because satan to wanted to be a God like the mormons.

Third question with a answer
No james never said actually there were three separate heavens. in the bible. It does how ever talk about treasures though in heaven maybe this is where you got three he talks about i wish people would pay more attention to the bible and not take it out of context and think this is what it means.

Answer 1

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

It was Paul, not James, that mentions three degrees of glory and being caught up in the third heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

2 Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

I too wish people would pay more attention to the BIble.

Answer 2

"...the Mormon church is less cult-like than many of the religions that delight in calling us one."

Orson Scott Card (the science fiction author, also LDS) wrote, out on Beliefnet, about whether the LDS Church was a cult.

He said:

"What do they [cults] have in common?

Charismatic Founder. Cults gather around charismatic individuals who are the sole source of truth to their followers.

Exploitation. The leader enriches himself through the financial contributions of the members, or gathers personal power that he uses to exploit members in other ways to benefit himself. If the group survives the leader's death, it remains a cult if his successors continue that exploitation.

Automatons. The members are discouraged from thinking for themselves, and, insofar as possible, are turned into unquestioning "obedience machines."

Withdrawal and Isolation. Perhaps because exploitation and obedience are easiest to maintain when the ordinary world can't offer its distractions and attractions, cults tend to withdraw physically, seeking ever greater isolation. This is often used as part of the conversion process, to keep the prospective member from hearing counterarguments."

and concludes:

"Kettles and Pots

On all these points, I daresay that the Mormon church is less cult-like than many of the religions that delight in calling us one.

Indeed, calling Mormonism a cult is usually an attempt to get people to behave like robots, blindly obeying the command that they reject Mormonism without any independent thought. Kettles, as they say, calling the pot black.

Here's the simplest statement I can make: If Mormonism were a cult, I would know it, and I would not be in it."

It's an enjoyable read, have a look.

Answer 3

Where is the question...you say there are three, but I don't see a question mark on the second and third and you answer the others. I used to be a Mormon. I got out when I realized what garbage it was. When I was sucked in at the age of 16, I wasn't told everything. They didn't like that I asked questions, and as soon as I found out about the truth about Joseph Smith and their heaven and afterlife beliefs, I left.
