@CrankyHankJ @MamaCAllen Funny how @MamaCAllen has suddenly gone quiet. Hey, Mama Allen:

Pop quiz: 1) Was God the Father once a human? 2) Was God the Son created? 3) Are Jesus & Satan spirit brothers? 4) Has Jesus always been God, from eternity? 5) Are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit three separate and distinct gods? 6) Was Jesus first conceived a spirit child by the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and then "begotten in flesh" when the Heavenly Father had sex with the Virgin Mary? 7) When Jesus returns, will He set up a one-thousand-year global theocracy based in Jackson County, Missouri? 8) Can humans become gods with all the same attributes as God the Father? 9) Are there other gods just like the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit? 10) Does the leader of your organization receive "revelations from God" that have as much authority as the Bible?

@MamaCAllen The mormons Jesus is not the Jesus of Nazareth.

@carbonmfg I don’t hate them. They’re just not Christians.

@asophiething It's just hate and likely stems from insecurity. It's not a good thing. Wish you were aware of how your bigotry lands.

I hope on some level the LDS who read my admittedly harsh comments understand that I am doing it in the hopes I can help them to question what I have questioned and see what I have seen so they might be saved. Mormon exaltation is the fiction of a conman. Heaven is through Jesus.

The LDS Church was founded on the idea that every Church itemized here is the issue of a ~2nd century Great Apostasy, and thus only Mormons are the "real" Church. Why would you want to be added to a list of all these churches Joseph Smith claimed were heretics?

Tell them about the Egyptian papyrus he claimed to have translated into scripture as the words of Abraham that was confirmed by Egyptologists to be a funerary rite written by an Egyptian woman named Ta-shere-Min, and a man named Hor. That’s a better story!

Joseph Smith is the L. Ron Hubbard of the 19th century.

@HansFiene This post is art. Bravo.

Imagine you're a pastor and a couple tells you that they'd love to join your church, but they are polyamorous, and they want to know if that's acceptable to you. You, of course, say, "no, in order to be a Christian, you have to practice monogamy." But they respond, "oh, but we do! We don't develop close emotional bonds with our other partners. We practice EMOTIONAL fidelity! We just don't believe we have have to practice BODILY fidelity in order to be monogamous." How would you respond? You'd say, "well, the Christian definition of 'monogamy' requires bodily fidelity. It's actually the very core of the concept. So if you want me to acknowledge you as a Christian, you can't reject the thing that is the core of the Christian teaching." In the same way, what do Christians mean when we confess the "divine nature" or the "divinity" of Jesus? Well, for Christians, the very core belief about the nature of God is that He is one. There is no possibility of pantheons or demigods, of created being being exalted into "divine" status. Divinity is not something that can be conferred or multiplied. So when the Mormons tell you that they believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are "one in purpose, but not one in nature," they are not simply disagreeing with Christians on HOW God is one. They are fundamentally rejecting the very claim that God IS one. The purpose of the Creeds, of course, was not to bind to the church to a bunch of non-biblical terms or enslave Christians to Greek philosophical constructs. The purpose of the Creeds, on this point, was to give us a concise way to express and defend two very biblical assertions: 1. That God is one. 2. That the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. When we insist that someone must confess Jesus to be of "one substance" with the Father, we are not haughtily demanding that people subscribe to overly-technical language. We are, very simply, insisting that people believe there is and can be only one God. And so, in the end, when the Mormons accuse us of lying when we say they don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, you should hear this the same way you would a couple in an open marriage whining that you won't acknowledge them as monogamists just because they sleep with other people. Just as polyamorous couples fundamentally reject the heart of "monogamy" by rejecting bodily fidelity, Mormons fundamentally reject the Christian concept of "divinity" by rejecting that the Son is of the same divine substance as the Father.

Joseph Smith adds a prophesy about himself into the bible saying he's a prophet. Yes this happened. A good rule of thumb: Whatever you think of the Mormon church: it's worse. Sorry

@dttpeople Nothing is worse i believe than JS claiming to be greater than Jesus, the 12 apostles and every prophet back to Adam for Christianity.

@Salt_n_Smoke Amen

JOSEPH SMITHs chronological order of polygamy events. Spring of 1844- Gets accused of polygamy, excommunicates the accusers. May 26, 1844- During a public sermon, Joseph denies the claim of polygamy : "What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one." (This sermon is sermon in the grove, it’s the one where he boasts about himself) June 7, 1844- The FIRST AND ONLY issue of the Nauvoo Expositor was printed, exposing the secret practice of plural marriage and criticizing Joseph's political power. June 10, 1844 - Joseph uses his political power(mayor) to champion for the city council to destroy the Printing press. Fast forward. October 30, 2014 - “Gospel Topic Essay Release” - The LDS church officially publishes the history acknowledging Joseph’s plural marriages. They even say “It is apparent that Joseph withheld knowledge of some of these relationships from Emma.” ***Current LDS sources now affirm Joseph practiced plural marriage. ***Joseph publicly denied accusations to what the church now acknowledges. So the printing press was telling the truth the whole time? Not Joseph Smith?! This does not sound like someone who follows Jesus Christ. No way I would put my salvation or faith anywhere near that man.

As political leaders weigh in on whether Mormons are Christians, it should not be surprising that Christianity often answers no. Mormonism begins by teaching that the historic Christian faith fell into apostasy, that the profession of faith confessed by Christians was corrupt, and that the Bible was altered and mistranslated. When a movement defines itself by rejecting the faith it claims to restore, Christians are naturally going to view it as something other than Christianity. That is not hostility. It is a recognition of Mormonism’s own claims.

Here’s something that always gets me. Mainstream Mormons are super quick to cut off Mormon fundamentalists (the groups that still practice polygamy). “They’re not real Mormons, they don’t represent us, they went off the rails.” Okay fine. But then ask them if they’re Christian and suddenly the whole logic flips. These are people who reject the Trinity, believe God used to be a regular dude, have their own extra scriptures, and hold doctrines no Christian church has ever taught but yeah, they’re totally Christian. So apparently the rules are👇🏻 Groups that share your founder and history but diverge on practice? Not real Mormons. A 2,000 year old faith you barely agree with on anything? Yeah they’re part of that no problem. And here’s the kicker, Joseph Smith invented polygamy. The fundamentalists didn’t make that up. They’re actually being MORE consistent with Mormon teaching than the mainstream LDS Church is. The church dropped polygamy in 1890 because the government was coming after them, not because God said it was wrong. So if the bar for being Mormon is following what Joseph Smith actually taught, the fundamentalists honestly have the stronger claim. But if the bar for being Christian is believing what Christians have always believed one eternal God, grace through faith, the Bible being enough, Mormonism doesn’t come close. You can’t kick people out of your own house and then be surprised when someone else’s bouncer turns you away.

@JesusSaves1500 Yes. It’s a fascinating read knowing it for what it is. But it’s just a storybook by a con man, crafted out of the twisted and perverted KJV of the Bible from which he drew inspiration.

I have honestly tried to read it. Kept going back to it in fact to determine if it makes sense. It reads like trigonometry, there is no Holy Spirit present and no amount of praying about it changes that.

Girl I follow on Instagram who said Sydney Sweeney’s jean commercial was “promoting eugenics” is now defending the down syndrome abortion couple Do I tell her

I'm seeing a lot of Mormons say that Christians need to educate themselves on LDS beliefs but then not answering questions posed to them.

We can talk about the doctrine of the Trinity or the Nicene Creed. We can talk about Kolob, Nephites, and Moroni. But the fact is this: Mormons believe that God was once a man, and that they themselves can be exalted to godhood. That’s heresy. Full stop. LDS is not Christian.
