What do Mormons teach that makes 99% of Christianity consider them a cult?

[Perry S]

Mormons believe that God has a wife/wives in heaven with whom he conceived jesus and his brother Lucifer. Is that Christian? No!

Mormons place their salvation in Joseph Smith
"No salvation without accepting Joseph Smith...No man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful of consequences..." (Mormon Doctrines Of Salvation V.1, p.189-190)

The Bible tells us Jesus Christ is the only name under heaven whereby men must be saved..

Brigham Young Taught at the LDS General Conference that it's okay to marry your siblings.

"In our marriage relations here we are marrying our brothers, and our sisters." (p.23) Read this from his speech at General Conference at: http://www.googlesyndicatedsearch.com/u/utlm?q=brigham+young+incest&sa=Search

Mormons bash Catholics and Protestants
"...the protestant churches, the harlot daughters which broke off from the great and abominable church,(The Catholic Church)..." (Mormon Doctrine, p.314-315-1958 ed.)

Need I say more?

Mormons also believe that Jesus is the brother of Lucifer, a created being. God's Word tells us that Jesus is eternal and not created. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word (Christ) and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God."

God bless!!

Give it up Perry...seriously. I'm sorry if you feel so insecure in your own beliefs that you have to resort to bashing others to feel better...but it's not going to make you feel better.

Oh, and that part of Mormon Doctrine that you quoted about us supposedly hating protestants...it was taken OUT in later editions. Why do you think it was taken out?? Because it's not true!!! We don't believe that! Stop misleading people about our beliefs.

Look up the definition of cult.

By the way, not a single thing you posted is doctrinally accurate within the LDS church.

You misquoted doctrines of Salvation, lied about Young's quote by taking a spiritual sense and trying to portray it as literal, and mis-categorize the quote from Mormon Doctrine without realizing the hypocrisy of criticizing another religion on the grounds that criticizing religions is wrong.

You need to figure out what being a Christian is. In the words of Jesus love for others as He loves us is the mark of a disciple.

At least your consistent in the ignorance you've shown here! Do some research and try to look up information rather than regurgitating lies and falsehoods - with 14 million Mormons now that's not as easy to do anymore.


You finish by asking "need I say more?" Although you'll probably be posting the same question tomorrow, you really shouldn't say anything more.

It's time for you to start reading and learning and do less talking. Ask your mom to drive you to the local library.

[Maureen S]

NO! You definitely do not need to say more!!

Since you have studied, investigated, read the Book of Mormon and the Word of Wisdom and know Mormons personally, I presume you know the answer to your own question.

OR - Maybe you don't know the answer because you have not done any of those things - just picked a group to hate.

Hate begets hate.

I am NOT a Mormon but I do recognize someone on a Mission, like yourself. I feel very sad for you that you spend most of your time on Answers, berating the Mormon Religion.
Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

With regards to your comments on "brothers and sisters".
I am hysterically laughing. That somebody could take "brother and sister" which are the names of members of the congregation (as it is in quite a few other religions) and turn it around to be something bad. Sorry but I find that very, very ridiculously funny. You are so.....- sorry, I have the hiccups now. Thank you for the laugh of the day.

whats so non-Christian about believing that Lucifer was ours and Christs spiritual brother? Just because other Christians don't believe in it it doesn't mean it's a non-Christian belief.

Joseph Smith was just a man, I have never been taught that salvation comes through him. I've only heard that it comes through Christ and none other. Every single Mormon out there will tell you that.

Guess what... in our church we refer to everyone as our Brothers and Sisters, Einstein.

Mormons don't bash other religions.

[rossonero_2006]

Mormons don't believe Jesus is God, bottom line. The similarities between islam and mormonism are also quite notable (prophet given "scriptures" by a divine being, prophet wasn't bright enough to come up with it on his own, divine being taught denial of Christ's divinity (failing 1 John 4 test), both believe that they are somehow an extension of Christianity, etc.) It seems to me Mormonism was designed as sort of western islam since the enemy knew most westerners weren't going to buy middle eastern islam.

Well you asked....

[Senator John McClain]

I just wonder what happened in your life that makes you feel that you need to knowingly publicly express such falsehoods. Whatever it was, I'm sorry. Good luck overcoming your issues.

[mormonme2007]

McDucky answered it perfectly! And for the sake of argument let's say that we do bash other religions. What makes it OK for you to bash us but not the other way around? Hope you enjoy living in your ignorance!


Peace, Love, and Pork Fried Rice!

[§?p¡£n†]

You polled 100% of Christians to get that stat? Riiiiiight.


LMAO.... trying to catch my breath here..... THEN you end with "Mormons bash Catholics and Protestants". What exactly do you call this little rant, if not Mormon bashing? LMAO
