I quietened my RW family members with Islam to Mormon similarities

[Thinkingabout]

RW family members continued to say Obama is muslim and sent them information on how Prophet Joseph Smith founded the Mormon faith close to Prophet Muhammad and Islam. Told them Mitt is closer to Muslim than Obama.

1. And they both start with M

And have the same amount of letters.

With this crowd, we may have to resort to this.

2. But at least Muslims are monotheistic

Mormons believe in many gods and the christian god wasn't special.

3. I may be wrong, but I think Mormons believe they can become gods. nt

[Fresh_Start]

5. That's my understanding as well, the deification of man

not to mention their god was human before he became god.
And their trinity is three different gods not a single god.

6. I have relatives that are Mormon and they are lovely people. That is completely wrong.

We are above making fun of other people's faith on D.U.

7. I'm not making fun

I'm writing about what I've read.

The Latter Day Saint movement teaches the doctrine of exaltation, by which is meant a literal divinization. Certain similarities can be drawn between the two, though a significant difference exists in that Mormons believe that humanity may not only be given God's holiness and perfection but also his essential divinity or godhood.[64] This doctrine stems from the movement's founder Joseph Smith, Jr., who taught that God the Father is an advanced and glorified man.[6

8. It's not your fault, because many Mormons don't understand their doctrine.

In fact absolutely Mormons believe they can become gods. That is absolute fact. An honest and aware Mormon will not deny it, but again many Mormons do not know their own faith.

I have many Mormon relatives too, and I lived many years among the Mormons. That is their doctrine. They can become gods, or for the gals, goddesses. A little wandering around the net will show you this is correct.

9. I am an ex-Mormon and you are wrong.

Mormons believe Jesus and God are two separate beings, both have eternal physical bodies and the God of this world also has an eternal wife with a physical body. Mormons believe the Holy Ghost is separate from Jesus and God and does not have a physical body. They also believe any Mormon may become the God of another world if they live according to the teachings of the church.

By the way, Mormons also believe men may be "sealed" to more than one woman during their life so they may become eternal polygamists in the after life.

While the Mormons you know may be lovely people they do not hold mainstream Christian beliefs.

4. Well they believe we are created in the image of god and are to be gods ourselves

At least those of us who tithe and get temple recommends and receive in a temple the special education that makes us employable in that capacity.

Frankly, mormons see eternity sort like Amway. We all get to move up as we create more folks in a lower station beneath us.


IF that doesn't sound exactly like the philosophy of Bain Capital, I want the recipe whatever you've been drinking
