Mormonism is it a cult or religion?

Question

consider this: They have secrets that they deny to us outsiders ,
They ban any members that have their so called prophets charged who have committed crimes,

looking for an example of some one being band for trading against one of the Mormon so called Prophets is , A&E did a documentary on a lady who was raped , She testified against him , and as a result she was shunned for her testimony .
Happy Now?

Answer 1

First what secrets to you speak of? we do hold some things secret, but there are no secrets.

Also, I have never heard of your second one, but it definitely makes sense. Why would someone want to be a member of a church if they do not believe in or support their leaders? I am curious what kind of crimes you think a 97 year old man is committing?

Answer 2

There are no secrets denied to outsiders, just sacred things asked not to be taken lightly.

The second point makes no sense would you like to actually give a real example instead of just throwing out accusations?

If you dont believe in it, why do you care?


Anyone that claims mormons are a cult just because their beliefs differ from someone elses is just a straight out idiot I have decided. Guess what. YOUR beliefs dont match up with everyone elses, too, so youre in a cult, too, by your own stupid logic.

ALL religions under the definition of a cult are cults. If you consider mormons a cult but your religion not a cult just becasue their beliefs differ from you then your ability to reason is really messed up because then mormons can turn around and accuse you of being in a cult for not believing like them.



Look up mormons on the internet and you will know all of our "secrets"

We dont want to shout out the things we consider sacred to be trampled on by people that sit there and call us satanic and cults, wow big surprise. Hmmm why dont we just open up the temple doors, buildings we consider literal houses of God, to these antimormon jerks just so they can come in and spit on the floors and mock everything we consider sacred.



Has anyone that calls mormons a cult (but of course their religion isnt) ever been to a mormon church and seen how mormons worship? The MEMBERS give all the sermons and teach all the lessons. There isnt this special heirarchy of other people teaching us secrets we cant divulge. We, as members, do everything, and we dont get paid for this. Anyone can be called to any position. Kind of hard for this leadership to brainwash us all when we are the ones doing all the work and teaching ourselves.




I guess you just ignore all the people that have been excommunicated for crimes like rape. Why dont you admit all you want to do is openly bash on mormons.

Answer 3

The specific Christian definition of a cult is a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of Biblical truth. Or, in more simple terms, a cult is a group that teaches something that will cause a person to not be saved if they believe it. In distinction from a religion, a cult is a group that claims to be Christian, yet denies an essential truth of Biblical Christianity.

The two most common teachings of cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of the deity of Christ results in Jesus’ death not being a sufficient payment for our sins. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in salvation being achieved by our own works – something the Bible vehemently and consistently denies. The two most well-known examples of cults are the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the two key doctrines mentioned above.

Answer 4

Cult.

Remember that the word "cult" is related to the concept of "occult" meaning "hidden." A cult is a false religion where much of their actual doctrine is "hidden" from most of their followers until those followers have been properly "indoctrinated" and/ or shown their loyalty to the cult.

True Christianity is out there in the open for all to see. No secret chants, no rituals practiced by men in long robes with pointy hats. Just pure and public faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, as the onlt begotten Son of God. Prayers are often to be private, but not "hidden;" more like a confidential conversation between a father and his child.

Answer 5

it's a religious cult. They mention Jesus, but teach another gospel than the one Jesus came to give us. They believe men can be the gods of their own worlds after death.

There are too many beliefs that make mormonism a cult and I'm not able to accurately discuss many that I've heard, so I'll quit here.

Answer 6

All the most popular religions are cults, including Mormonism.

Answer 7

Is Satan your last name, or is it your first name.

Bad mouthing someone seem more like a satanic characteristic.

Do you tell everything to the "outsiders" have you ever read this one:

6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

(New Testament | Matthew 7:6)

Answer 8

Mormonism is I know for a fact is based off of the cult in resident evil. im cereal. Every night the mormons feast on corpses and sometimes kill people by impaling them on their bodies or maybe sucking their head off. ripping them in half is common too. You see, the creators of mormonism were ancient peoples who were a breed of frankensteins, vampires and rolly pollies. Using their super persuasive grunting they slowly took over peoples minds and sne them to be mormofied. So ya its a cult.

Answer 9

Neither Mormonism is the door-to-door marketers version of Christianity. Basically its a corporate belief system.

Answer 10

They sure act like a cult the way they keep trying to convert me. They creep me right out. They just want to make mormon babies. Just remove the second M from mormon.
