Mormonism is a heresy. Joseph Smith Jr. made it up to get more women. If you do some research, you'll find how perverted their religion is...burn their books if they give them to you. Take as many of their "Bibles" and throw them all into the fire.

Their beliefs are so wacky I have no idea how people can even buy into them.

Finding the "good" in the Mormon religion is really the wrong way to look at it.

Bishop Williamson often uses the analogy of an airplane with nice seats, good food, a working ventilation system, an entertainment system, clean windows -- but no engines. It won't exactly get you where you're going (Heaven) even if it has SOME good aspects.

The Mormons have parts of the natural law intact, unlike your average modern American -- which makes them seem attractive at first glance (family values, aversion to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, traditional male/female roles, modesty, etc.) but supernaturally they are INSANE.

They believe that each saved person will each have his own planet, and will become a god of sorts -- just like Jesus did 2000 years ago. "What He once was, we are now. What He is now, we can become." or something to that effect.

They are more of a pagan cult than a branch of Christianity. They are very "out there" in their beliefs.

They are modern-day Arians. They along w/ Islam and Wicca are one of the fastest growing religions. Like Islam, they follow the natural law in procreation and are forceful in their evangelization. I wouldn't consider them as Prots but as a cult, like the New Agers who are modern day Gnostics.

The Mormons have some very, very strange and unorthodox beliefs, for example; they do not believe in the Catholic definition of the Trinity, they believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate entities (literally three Gods).

They believe that God the Father has a body of flesh and bones and used to be a man on another planet, and currently lives on a planet (or near a star) named Kolob. There he and his many Heavenly Wives produce "spirit children" who then become humans on earth. Further, they claim that we too can become gods after our deaths and create our own worlds. In addition, they also believe that Lucifer is actually God the Father's eldest son but, Jesus was chosen over him to be the redeemer of mankind. This can all be verified by reading their "scriptures" (the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price).

In case you weren't aware about what the Book of Mormon is about, it's about a Hebrew of the tribe of Manasseh named Lehi who due to persecution in Jerusalem travels to the Americas with his wife, their sons (Nephi, Laman, Lemuel, and Sam) and their wives. Eventually, the Lamanites wiped out the Nephites and as a punishment God turned their skin red, and this is the Mormon explanation for the Amerindians. The Book of Mormon also claims that after His Resurrection, Jesus came to the Americas to preach to the Indians.

I kid you not. This is what they believe.

Mormonism is a perverse pagan religion, created by Joseph Smith so that he could get more women. Smith himself was a questionable character and I highly doubt that he believed his own concoction himself.

Dylan's post is 100% true - they also teach that there is a "Telestial Kingdom" (the highest level of Heaven) which is saved only for married Mormons (barring Christ I suppose) in which the couple continues to have sɛҳuąƖ intercourse, spawning "star children" who become in a way, new humans that now worship their parents as gods.

"Eat from the tree of knowledge, and you shall be as gods."
I wonder what the Mormons say to that.
