Mormon Beliefs, are they Christian? by Matt Slick There's a lot of discussion about Mormon beliefs. So, in order to make this easy, I will list out what Mormonism actually teaches. These are not sensati onalized, and inaccurate statements. Following documentation from Mormon authors. Finally, please understand tha t the Mormon Church uses Christian terms but has radically changed the meani ngs of those terms. So, when it says that Mormons belief in the father the son and the Holy Spirit, they are really saying they believe in a God from a nother planet, with a goddess wife, who literally is the father of Jesus, an d that there is a spirit being, the Holy Ghost, who is another God. These are Mormon beliefs The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, known as the Mormons, teach es that God the father used to be a man on another planet, that he became a God by following the laws and ordinances of that God on that planet and came to this world with his wife (she became a goddess), and that they produce a spirit offspring in heaven. These spirit offspring, which includes Jesus, the devil, and you and me, are all brothers and sisters born in the preexis tence. The preexistence spirits come down and inhabit babies at the time of birth and their memories of the preexistence are lost at the time. Further more, faithful Mormons, who pay a full 10% tithe of their income to the Morm on church through Mormon temples, have the potential of becoming gods of the ir own planets and are then able to start the procedure over again. Is it Christian? No. If you were to go to any Christian bookstore and look in the non-Christian c ult section you will see numerous books on Mormonism that document Mormon be liefs as aberrant and un-Biblical. The Mormon Church is not considered a Chr istian church. This is not simply an opinion that they are false; it is a fact that they te ach abberant and unchristian theology. In fact, Jesus warned us about such groups when he said in Matthew 24:24 that in the last days many false Christ s and false prophets will arise and deceive many. Mormonism is exactly that, a manifestation of a false prophet: Joseph Smith, who taught all these thin gs. The Bible does not teach that God came from another planet, or that he has a goddess wife, or that we can become gods. In fact, the Bible clearly and de finitely contradicts those teachings. But, the Mormon Church responds by say ing that the Bible is not really trustworthy, that the true faith was lost, and that its leader, Joseph Smith, restored the so-called "true" Christian f aith: god from another world, becoming gods, goddess mother, etc. Of course , the Mormon Church's claim is not true. One question to ask the Mormon Church as a whole is why is it that it does n ot appoint a representative to publicly debate and answer the challenges of competent Christians who know not only the Bible, but what Mormonism teaches ? Why is it that the Mormon Church refuses to have open dialogue and appoin t a representative who would attempt to defend the LDS teachings from the Bi ble? Why does it refuse to do this? I believe it is because it doesn't want to be made to look bad. Mormon Beliefs documented Please note that these teachings are documented from Mormon writers, not ant i-Mormon writers: Book of Mormon The book of Mormon is more correct than the Bible, (History of the Church, v ol. 4, p. 461.) Devil, the The Devil was born as a spirit after Jesus "in the morning of pre-existence, " (Mormon Doctrine, p. 192.) Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heav en to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163.) God God used to be a man on another planet (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321; Joseph Smit h, Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333). "The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as mans..." (D&C 130:2 2). God, becoming a god After you become a good Mormon, you have the potential of becoming a god (Te achings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345-347, 354). "Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be a bove all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them," (DC 132 :20). God, many gods There are many gods (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163). "And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light: and there was light," (Book o f Abraham 4:3). God, mother goddess There is a mother god (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 443). God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit children (Mormon Doctrine, p. 516). God, Trinity The trinity is three separate Gods: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct from each o ther, is demonstrated by the accepted records of divine dealings with man," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 35). Heaven There are three levels of heaven: telestial, terrestrial, and celestial (Mor mon Doctrine, p. 348). Holy Ghost, the The Holy Ghost is a male personage (A Marvelous Work and a Wonder, Le Grand Richards, Salt Lake City, 1956, p. 118; Journal of Discources, vol. 5, p. 17 9). Jesus "Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones ," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38). "The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood - was beg otten of his Father, as we were of our fathers," (Journal of Discourses, vol . 8, p. 115). "Elohim is literally the Father of the spirit of Jesus Christ and also of th e body in which Jesus Christ performed His mission in the flesh ..." (First Presidency and Council of the Twelve, 1916, God the Father, compiled by Gord on Allred, p. 150). Joseph Smith If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no s alvation. There is no salvation [the context is the full gospel including e xaltation to Godhood] outside the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint s (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670). Pre-existence We were first begotten as spirit children in heaven and then born naturally on earth (Journal of Discourse, vol. 4, p. 218). The first spirit to be born in heaven was Jesus (Mormon Doctrine, p. 129). The Devil was born as a spirit after Jesus "in the morning of pre-existence, " (Mormon Doctrine, p. 192). Salvation "One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God; that belief in Jesus Chr ist alone is all that is needed for salvation," (Miracle of Forgiveness, by Spencer W. Kimball, p. 206). A plan of salvation was needed for the people of earth so Jesus offered a pl an to the Father and Satan offered a plan to the father but Jesus' plan was accepted. In effect the Devil wanted to be the Savior of all Mankind and to "deny men their agency and to dethrone god," (Mormon Doctrine, p. 193; Journ al of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 8). Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our sins, (murder and r epeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, 1856, p. 2 47). Good works are necessary for salvation (Articles of Faith, p. 92). There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God (Do ctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p. 188). "The first effect [of the atonement] is to secure to all mankind alike, exem ption from the penalty of the fall, thus providing a plan of General Salvati on. The second effect is to open a way for Individual Salvation whereby mank ind may secure remission of personal sins (Articles of Faith, by James Talma ge, p. 78-79). "As these sins are the result of individual acts it is just that forgiveness for them should be conditioned on individual compliance with prescribed req uirements -- 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel,'" (Article s of Faith, p. 79). "This grace is an enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on et ernal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts," (LDS Bible Dictionary, p. 697). "We know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do," (2 Nep hi 25:23). Trinity, the The trinity is three separate Gods: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct from each o ther, is demonstrated by the accepted records of divine dealings with man," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 35). http://carm.org/mormon-beliefs
