Is Mormonism a CULT or part of Christianity?

Is Mormonism a CULT or part of Christianity?
Is Mormonism Christian? Here are reasons why not:
1. Mormonism is polytheistic. Meaning it has many gods, not one God, as in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The ‘Father’ of Mormonism is but one god of many gods (and he has a wife-goddess, the “Heavenly Mother” - see Douglas J. Davies, Introduction to Mormonism, 186).
2. Mormonism is based upon eternal progression - that means that everyone, including Elohim himself, is in progression, going from one level of existence to another higher level.
3. Mormonism rejects the virgin birth.
4. Mormonism rejects creation out of nothing.
5. Mormonism relocates Christ’s main work from the cross to Gethsemane.
6. Heaven has three levels, and hell is (mostly) not forever.
7. Mormonism has different scriptures.
8. Mormonism has salvation through works.
9. Jesus’ blood is not sufficient for all sins.
10. Mormons do not pray to Jesus.

I happy to report I’ve accepted Christ as my savior and have been attending a non-denominational Christian church ever since.

His personal autobiography “From Heart to Heart” first edition page 48 from the 1979 says he was in the Skull & Bones his junior year in college at the U of Utah which did have a chapter there at that time. His senior year he was in the owl & key society which was a higher level of skull & bones. It’s convenient that the later edition has removed that information.

I’ve been reading the Bible and in Matthew it shows us the right way to pray to God in The Lord’s Prayer. I always felt that what I did was never enough to gain my Heavenly Home. Remembered my sins because I was thought that if I forgot them then God forgave my sins. It was a torture. Now I know that by Jesus Christ dying for me all my sins are washed and I am clean. I suffer no more. Thank you Jesus for you Love ❤️

They're a fabrication, made in Joseph Smith's imagination, that just so happen to borrow/steal the names of God from Christianity. . About all we share in common is the second table of the Law. They violate the first by having other gods and using God's name improperly to describe the simulacrum gods that Smith invented.

    god bless. The Jesus of the bible is not the Jesus of the book of Mormon. Mormonism is different - it teaches a different Jesus than the Bible which Smith falsely said was corrupted. Mormonism is more like Islam where another false prophet (Muhammad) came along and said the bible was corrupted and he had his new revelations fixing it - the Quran. Mormonism teaches their church is the only true church on the face of the earth. Their doctrine teaches all other churches are an "abomination" and are "of the devil." Joseph Smith History 1:18-19: "My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. ... I was answered that I must join NONE of them, for they were ALL WRONG; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an ABOMINATION in his sight; that those professors were ALL corrupt..." 1 Nephi 14:10 “And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the DEVIL; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the WHORE of all the earth." (emphasis added) The Bible states many times in various ways Jesus would never let the gates of hell prevail over his church leading to a total apostasy (Isaiah 40:8; Psalms 100:5; Matthew 16:18, 24:35; 1 Peter 1:23-25). How could this statement be true if Jesus’ Church ceased to exist for almost two millennia? So any church who claims the Church needed to be restored from an apostasy is not a part of the first Church which started long ago in Jerusalem at Pentecost. Given the Mormon church claims a complete apostasy, it cannot be traced back to the original church. Jesus said in Matthew 18:16 upon this rock He will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. The rock is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4; Romans 9:33; Psalm 18:2; 62:6-8, 78:35, 94:22; 2 Samuel 22:2) and if the church ever fell into complete apostasy as Mormons claim, then Jesus would have been made a liar. In Galatians Paul exhorts our dependence on the word of God instead of founders of movements with additional or restored “truths.” Paul warns not once but twice in Galatians 1:8-9, “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.” Again, the gospel declares truth should not be determined by teaching from angels or even Paul, but based on whether the gospel being preached is the same gospel that was received (as recorded in the Bible). The Church is the body of believers in Christ and we are likened to a temple in 1 Peter 2:5 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” This means people do not need to be members of a particular church, denomination, or group, but need to be born again and repent and accept the free gift of salvation in Christ. Mormons believe in a Christ DIFFERENT than the one in the bible: President Hinckley of the Mormon religion declared: In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ.’ ‘No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.(LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p. 7) Apostle Bruce McConkie "we worship the Father and Him only, and no one else." We do not worship the Son and we do not worship the Holy Ghost." 1989 Sermons and Writings of Bruce R. McConkie, 60 Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, on page 742 of Mormon Doctrine, says, “God the Father is a perfected, glorified, holy Man, an immortal Personage. And Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father. There is nothing figurative about this paternity; he was BEGOTTEN, CONCEIVED and born in the normal and natural course of events, for he is the Son of God, and that designation means what it says.” Yet, 2 Corinthians 11:4 says it is possible to believe in a false version of Jesus. At the moment, the Mormon Jesus is eternally progressing, moving up to greater levels of exaltation, along with all the other gods in the universe. But this is not the case with the Jesus of the Bible. The Bible tells us that: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8). If there really are other gods before and after Jesus who are also eternally progressing, then Jesus cannot be the sovereign or supreme ruler over all existence. Contrary to this, the Bible tells us that Jesus (and for that matter, the Triune God) is all-powerful (Philippians 3:20-21), all-knowing (John 21:17), and all-present (Matthew 28:20). Apostle O. Pratt: , “…The fleshly body of Jesus required a Mother as well as a Father. Therefore, the Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife; hence the Virgin Mary must have been, for the time being, the lawful wife of God the Father. Inasmuch as God was the first HUSBAND TO HER (Mary), it may be that He only gave her to be the wife of Joseph while in this mortal state, and that He intended after the resurrection to again take her as one of his own wives to raise up immortal spirits in eternity….” The leaders of the LDS Church have also taught that their Jesus was married and had children, and that he was even a polygamist. Again, Apostle Orson Pratt, says in The Seer, page 172, says, “…the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…the Messiah chose to take upon himself his seed; and by marrying many honorable wives himself" The true church will never add to or subtract from, but always hold firm in the essential doctrines of Christianity. These being: The deity of Christ (both God and Man); Salvation (eternal life with God) by grace alone through faith alone; the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ; there is only one God (period); and the trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) are three separate persons in one Being.

    I was raised Mormon for 4years up until I was 13. Vlad is right on with the Mormon beliefs. My parents went through the whole temple ceremony at the Los Angeles temple. My brother and I went with them and were shown around the building. We even took the elevator all the way to the top room where they talk to God. According to the guide. It is a heavy load they put on the woman in that religion. The suicide rate for women is very high. It is work based and impossible to achieve for a true honest believer of that religion. Such a heavy yoke and then in the end find out you have been swindled by Satan or some fallen angel has to be terrible. There are a lot of good people there that don't know better if only they would just read the bible they would see it is false. Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden is light. That is because what HE did is all we need to be saved and the fruit of that is what produces good works through us for the FATHER'S glory. It can't get any better than that it is the most precious gift of all redemption! Praise HIM.

    Exmormon Christian here. Looking back now as a born again christian, the thing I find most deceiving about Mormonism is how they teach about priesthood. They make such a convincing case that there has to be a “modern prophet” guiding a “true church” and that the prophet needs to be a part of God’s inner circle to guide us. Because they’re so legalistic and speak so strongly against drinking and premarital sex, it actually leads to a more successful life than the average dude and then they attribute that success to them belonging to the “true church”. It’s super hard to convince them of anything because they believe the Vatican took a lot of important stuff out of the Bible and therefore they know more than you because they have the “restored” gospel. They become so hard in their hearts just like the Pharisees in Jesus’ time. It really is only the spirit that can convince them. Convincing them by showing them scripture is so incredibly hard to do. Most of my family is still active Mormon and I just keep praying that God opens their hearts like He did mine.

They told me the Mormon is an extension of the Bible and that the small Bridgeway Assembly church that I was going to was a false church or discriminatory to this faith. So I decided to test this theory and took the book to church and asked my pastor 😂 they were never discriminating and simply told me ‘it contradicts the Bible’ And I thought ‘well gods word Doesn’t contradict itself gods word IS life’ So I started studying and turns out I did find lots of information on contradiction and part of that was taught to me at a young age and I didn’t even realize it… 😑 Then I looked at my dads Bible turns out it had extra scripture put into it because it was a John Smith Bible. Scriptures that my King James Bible didn’t have… so I wondered if they were added to further support the Book of Mormon and god warns that whosoever adds to the Bible will get taken out from the book of life. So yea.. got woken to the truth but now my parents are disappointed in me because I won’t read the book now 🙄 What kept me so confused is that this was mixed teachings of Christianity and Mormonism so I never caught the differences until I read my Bible 😮‍💨

Just the fact that they carry a King James Bible and even a Book of Mormon but do not preach the actual doctrine should be a red flag for anyone, including Mormons. I actually know a family who are Mormons, one of their daughters used to play with my daughter in Kindergarten. They were kind and giving people. I was beside myself the day I learned that the wife and even her mother and father converted from their Christian faith, probably Baptist or Protestant. This would mean they had to give up their belief in the one true God (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) One Triune God. It’s a rejection of the true faith in that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. I pray for them. I’ll pray more, knowing more about Mormonism. It sounds like a cult. Joseph Smith was visited by some demonic being. Of course Satan would want God to be lowered, saying He was Adam and blah blah blah. What a horrible thing. I pray God have mercy especially on those who were falsely led before even knowing Jesus.

And they all repeat the same misconceptions I read in the anti-Mormon books I found over 40 years ago in CHRISTIAN book stores, when I was first trying to learn about the LDS Church! I took time to learn the truth and I wish others would as well. You say that Mormonism "sounds" like a cult. Have you read the Book of Mormon? Have you studied, pondered and prayed and asked God if it is true? Another book I read all those years ago is "A Marvelous Work and a Wonder" by LeGrand Richards. He explains the DOCTRINES of the Church, why a restoration was needed, the Bible verses that are often misunderstood by mainstream Christian churches, etc. I highly recommend this book!

This was a blatant lie to disparage against the Church. And sadly this fellow either intentionally omitted facts or is ignorant to the truth and never did his own research of the facts. This much I can testify is much of what was said in this video are lies and don't bear an ounce of truth. I can break down every step in this video and expose what was expressed in each point of the falsehoods shared. It's not particularly hard to do so, it will take more time than I can spare at the moment. My advice is, go to a more reliable source.

    @@anticlimacus6236 it is not evil to correctly analyze a situation and make righteous judgment about it. The Bible itself says, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." - John 7:24 . Studying the Word of God gives plenty of valid opportunities to critique the teachings and practices of Mormonism. Mormons do a great job of presenting the outward appearance of holy people, but they reject the one upon whom holiness is found and worship a false image of him that Joseph Smith invented. If he wasn't visited by a demon, then most likely he was drunk or high on psychedelic drugs when he came up with all the many, seriously flawed doctrines that permeated the LDS both in the past and today. . So until you're ready to point out specifically where the "logic is wrong" and back it up with the Bible, I reject your claim as groundless. And yes, this comment is full of judgment, but it is not my personal judgment. Rather, it is the judgment the Word of God in the Holy Bible, pronounces on the false doctrines and teachings of the Mormon church. Mormons worship a false god. They should stop immediately, repent, and turn to the true God of Christianity. This is straight from the Bible, not from me. I'm simply bearing the message faithfully.

    you don't read it in the original. it's had over 4000 changes over the years. originally it had a lot of "folksy" verbiage like "there be a great working" and there were lot of errors and doctrinal changes that had to be made. so even the mormon church agrees with you. the version that you read today is a big improvement over what it started out as.

    I am a born again spirit filled Christian but I visited a mormon church once in 1984 with my mormon friend. I challenged her that if I went to her church once , she had to come to my church once. It was such a demonic experience and I could feel the presence of the devil in that big building. The good thing is that she came to my church and got saved a few months after that. She loved my charismatic church and came back tons of times too. She never went back to her old mormon abominations church again. I give all the Glory to Jesus.

    I think the bottom line is anything extra Biblical should not be what we practice. The same applies to catechisms of the Roman Catholic church. They are doctrinally created by the Vatican councils of men and place the pope is infallible. At the end of the day, we have to only go by the Bible, which is the inspired word of God…who is Jesus (John 1) the word become flesh. There has been a lot of doctrinal division lately. I believe this is part of the end of shaking/purification of the body of the Christ/church. However we have to tread lightly not to further division and do the work of the enemy to separate the body. God has showed me that denominations will be dealt with heading into the end times.

    Before he passed away, Billy Graham did a weekend retreat with Glenn Beck who famously got his life together after converting to Mormonism. Graham had classified Mormonism as a cult, but after the retreat concluded that Beck did in fact know Jesus. There are def some janky things going on with the Mormon church, but there does seem to be some Mormons who the Lord seems to honor. I don't know what that means, but God's ways are better than mine.

There is only one way to heaven and that is through the blood of Jesus christ. You as a person can do nothing to get yourself to heaven...the bible shows us through God's word over and over. Your 2nd question...read revelation and the seven churches...Jesus called out what was good and what was wrong with the church...the worst being laodicia. Peter calls out the false teachers, Jude calls out the false teachers and Paul calls out the false teachers all throughout the new testament. Focus less on what human hands wrote and concentrate on God inspired word and let the holy spirit talk to you through HIS word...not the current prophet or Joseph Smith etc...im not judging ...im loving..praying for u

    I’m very disappointed in this video. I love listening to Vlad but this was the first time he got some things wrong. He did some great homework, but many things are very much out of context or completely wrong. I have been LDS for 45 years. I love Jesus Christ with all of my heart. He is my Savior and Redeemer. If you want to know about the LDS (Mormon) church, please ask US! I just don’t understand how ANYONE can tell me that I’m not Christian when my desire to know Jesus Christ and model my life after him is at the forefront of all my choices and the very source of my joy and peace? You may disagree with the teachings of this religion, but please do not discount that Jesus Christ and his atonement for our sins is at the very core. Who are you to tell me I am not Christian or not a follower of Christ? It is completely in my heart! I love the bond I feel with other people in other religions because we are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. Your daughter will be just fine. If she’s attending the LDS church right now, they are teaching her about the life of Jesus Christ from the Old Testament. She will be loved and appreciated, and she will lift others with her presence. Best of wishes to all reading this post. I’m not trying to be controversial. Like each of you, I cannot wait for Jesus Christ to return to the Earth. I am preparing for His return WITH YOU and love the friendships I am making with so many in Christian faiths. We are on the same team. Sending love from Idaho, USA.

    My best friend converted to Mormonism in 1996, which set me on the path of studying it. I wanted to know more and broden my depths of understanding it, (not that I had any interest in joining myself), I just wanted to know why. So I read everything I could find on the subject, pros, cons and everything in between. I came out of it 6 years later with a very deep understanding that Mormonism is whole heartdly false in every sense of the word. I tried for years to help my friend see this, but no avail. She insisted that her religion was right and still tried to convert me, I resisted. And sadly, she passed away in 2005. She was given all the Mormon burial rights within the church structure and I just pray that she's not in Hell for believing as she did while she was still alive. I miss my friend dearly everyday, but I'm afraid that the LDS church led her astray so many years ago.

I wish so much I could sit down and talk to this guy and all of the people commenting here. It's just so frustrating knowing that people have all these misconceptions, the same things I hear year after year, and which I read over 40 years ago in the anti-Mormon books I found in CHRISTIAN book stores! Back then, I was looking for answers and we didn't have the Internet, of course. Nobody in my family was Mormon and I didn't know where to turn. I had sent away for a copy of the Book of Mormon through the Osmond fan club. I read through it and it seemed to be of God, but I still didn't understand the DOCTRINES of the Church, what made it "different" from mainstream Christian churches and why I should join it. I kept searching, and went to Christian book stores, because I knew the Osmonds were Christian. But all I found were these anti-Mormon books! Boy did that open my eyes. I realised that that Christians have so many misconceptions! They don't WANT to believe, and they just want to tear apart the truth. I kept searching, and finally found "A Marvelous Work and a Wonder" by LeGrand Richards, in our local public library. It was SOO helpful! He explains the DOCTRINES of the Church, why a restoration was needed, and the Bible verses that are often misunderstood by mainstream Christian churches. I studied that book, and the Book of Mormon for over a year, then finally contacted the sister missionaries and took the lessons. I was baptised shortly after having my first baby. Now my 3 grandchildren are in the church!

    The Jesus of the bible is not the Jesus of the book of Mormon. I believe the Holy Spirit wants me to take the time to answer your statement. Mormonism is different - it teaches a different Jesus than the Bible which Smith falsely said was corrupted. Mormonism is more like Islam where another false prophet (Muhammad) came along and said the bible was corrupted and he had his new revelations fixing it - the Quran. Mormonism teaches their church is the only true church on the face of the earth. Their doctrine teaches all other churches are an "abomination" and are "of the devil." Joseph Smith History 1:18-19: "My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. ... I was answered that I must join NONE of them, for they were ALL WRONG; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an ABOMINATION in his sight; that those professors were ALL corrupt..." 1 Nephi 14:10 “And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the DEVIL; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the WHORE of all the earth." (emphasis added) The Bible states many times in various ways Jesus would never let the gates of hell prevail over his church leading to a total apostasy (Isaiah 40:8; Psalms 100:5; Matthew 16:18, 24:35; 1 Peter 1:23-25). How could this statement be true if Jesus’ Church ceased to exist for almost two millennia? So any church who claims the Church needed to be restored from an apostasy is not a part of the first Church which started long ago in Jerusalem at Pentecost. Given the Mormon church claims a complete apostasy, it cannot be traced back to the original church. Jesus said in Matthew 18:16 upon this rock He will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. The rock is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4; Romans 9:33; Psalm 18:2; 62:6-8, 78:35, 94:22; 2 Samuel 22:2) and if the church ever fell into complete apostasy as Mormons claim, then Jesus would have been made a liar. In Galatians Paul exhorts our dependence on the word of God instead of founders of movements with additional or restored “truths.” Paul warns not once but twice in Galatians 1:8-9, “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.” Again, the gospel declares truth should not be determined by teaching from angels or even Paul, but based on whether the gospel being preached is the same gospel that was received (as recorded in the Bible). The Church is the body of believers in Christ and we are likened to a temple in 1 Peter 2:5 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” This means people do not need to be members of a particular church, denomination, or group, but need to be born again and repent and accept the free gift of salvation in Christ. Mormons believe in a Christ DIFFERENT than the one in the bible: President Hinckley of the Mormon religion declared: In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ.’ ‘No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.(LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p. 7) Apostle Bruce McConkie "we worship the Father and Him only, and no one else." We do not worship the Son and we do not worship the Holy Ghost." 1989 Sermons and Writings of Bruce R. McConkie, 60 Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, on page 742 of Mormon Doctrine, says, “God the Father is a perfected, glorified, holy Man, an immortal Personage. And Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father. There is nothing figurative about this paternity; he was BEGOTTEN, CONCEIVED and born in the normal and natural course of events, for he is the Son of God, and that designation means what it says.” Yet, 2 Corinthians 11:4 says it is possible to believe in a false version of Jesus. At the moment, the Mormon Jesus is eternally progressing, moving up to greater levels of exaltation, along with all the other gods in the universe. But this is not the case with the Jesus of the Bible. The Bible tells us that: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8). If there really are other gods before and after Jesus who are also eternally progressing, then Jesus cannot be the sovereign or supreme ruler over all existence. Contrary to this, the Bible tells us that Jesus (and for that matter, the Triune God) is all-powerful (Philippians 3:20-21), all-knowing (John 21:17), and all-present (Matthew 28:20). Apostle O. Pratt: , “…The fleshly body of Jesus required a Mother as well as a Father. Therefore, the Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife; hence the Virgin Mary must have been, for the time being, the lawful wife of God the Father. Inasmuch as God was the first HUSBAND TO HER (Mary), it may be that He only gave her to be the wife of Joseph while in this mortal state, and that He intended after the resurrection to again take her as one of his own wives to raise up immortal spirits in eternity….” The leaders of the LDS Church have also taught that their Jesus was married and had children, and that he was even a polygamist. Again, Apostle Orson Pratt, says in The Seer, page 172, says, “…the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…the Messiah chose to take upon himself his seed; and by marrying many honorable wives himself" The true church will never add to or subtract from, but always hold firm in the essential doctrines of Christianity. These being: The deity of Christ (both God and Man); Salvation (eternal life with God) by grace alone through faith alone; the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ; there is only one God (period); and the trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) are three separate persons in one Being.

However, when I went to their Church I felt something strange. The place had a sense of energy, strength, and community charisma that I have not found in any Church I have been to. Learning about the history of the Church, especially in it's early development, it had a similar or even stronger potency then Mormon chruches. So where did it go and what are they doing that I could bring to my local churches. Questions like this are the greatest struggles of my current faith.

No such thing as a celestial heaven and you will never be a God of your own planet. That's a doctrine of demons!

    @rebornasdavid The only issue there is that they teach the same gospel. Paul’s warning about false angels implies that there will also be true angels sent to teach. Otherwise he would say reject all angels that come. Similarly a warning against false prophets implies that there will be true prophets. Otherwise he would say reject all prophets who come after us. In order to see if the Book of Mormon teaches a different gospel it must be read. I have read both and believe them to be the same gospel. The gospel is the good news that Jesus was sent by the Father to do the will of the Father. That he died on the cross taking upon him the sins of the world and bringing to pass the resurrection, so that the world would be judged by Him. That all who believe on His name will be saved. See 3 Nephi 27, Acts 2 and Philippians 2

    @@seanwilson2798 But they don't teach the same gospel at all. There is nowhere in scripture that says you will become a God of your own planet. In fact the teaching that you will become a God is in direct violation of scripture that says in Isaiah 43:10 "There was no God formed before me, nor shall there be any after me.". And again in Isaiah 44:6 "Beside me there is no God". Yet you would try to have me believe you would become a God? Ha! No thanks. We are not playing games here man. We are taking about the eternal salvation your very soul. Would you seriously risk going to hell for eternity over the fact you would believe in the book of Mormon when every Christian in the world is trying to tell you to stop following a false gospel? Get out of that crap please man and come join us. The teaching if the Bible is simply this: that we are willing vessels here to serve. When we get to heaven we are humble before God and do his will not our own. The tracking of the book of Mormon is that you will become a God of your own planet and have your very own spiritual children as well. Not only is that a different and false gospel just think about this yourself. Who wants to have power over nations and worlds and doesn't want to serve but wants to be served? That's the devil bro. Mormonism is satanism in disguise. You have been deceived. I pray you open your eyes to the truth and the truth will set you free.

    @@seanwilson2798 I the book of Mormon truly teaches the same gospel then please show me which verse teaches about the Celestial heaven, terrestrial heaven, telestial heaven and outer darkness. What verse in scripture can I read that speaks of those things? What verse in the Bible says I have to work to earn my salvation? Because Ephesians 2:8 says by grace through faith you are already saved, NOT by works, so that no man may boast. It's a free gift from God! So tell me please where does it say I have to work to get saved? Show me the verse please. If you can't provide these verses, you are following a false gospel.

    Is Mormonism connected with Freemasonry?

    Heavily. Joseph Smith was himself a Freemason. As were many of his followers. In fact, the ceremonies of their temples closely mirror those conducted at Masonic temples.
