Rome will do for me!
I have already answered that in these two posts:
Yep. And Annie B is right. They were Marriotts (in Louisiana and Oklahoma). There is always a Book of Mormon in the dresser drawer, right next to the Bible.
The answer to that is the same as for any religion, especially a complex religion such as the Catholic Church. It depends on how much time and effort and study they want to put into it.
Except the psychology of it all…mormonism is one head-trip and a half.Hopefully, converts to LDS should immediately commence with intensive study of their new faith. That should get them out quickly.
I thank you Annie for at least replying to my Question. I can except that not all teaching may be directly out of Holy Scripture. I would say that they should be supported by it though. Now Zerinus to you I have asked question that you do not even have the common courtesy to provide a link to the answers to. To me these as very important Questions as they contradict the Bible. they contradict all Jewish and Christian teaching from the the very beginning. I will ask them again with the hope of an answer.
I could even except Hebrew teaching if you could offer them that support these stance. Or if they are not teaching of the LDS church please refute them.
How about a man who steals the wives of other men? Isn’t that immoral? Joseph Smith did that. You seem comfortable judging non-Mormons, but everything Joseph Smith did is okay no matter how many commandments he broke? :tsktsk:
I’m sorry but this comment does not wash with me. Ask ANY Catholic who goes to Mass regularly and I’ll bet they ALL know what RCIA is. Guess what, the RCC has Sunday school, too - and there are prayer groups for men and women.
i wouldn’t help them build an altar to satan or a pagan temple or a church teaching heresy. I would help them with housing, food, medical care etc. what about you? would you help build pagan temples or satanic altars?
and what reason would that be?
Because mormonism is the predominant religion in Utah, and once in a while they like to make a show of playing well with others. It’s like the abusive parent who smacks you around one day, and gives you a hug the next. And if you complain, they say, but I hugged you!!
No, we do not accept that EVERYTHING Joseph Smith did was okay how can we since he was human? The ONLY one who is perfect is Jesus Christ. All of us - including our church prophets - are human and therefore at risk of making human errors/mistakes. Since when is perfection a requirement for being a prophet/church leader? Do you think the Pope is perfect? Do you think all the prophets of the old/new testament were perfect in every way? Again I say; Jesus was the only perfect person to walk the face of this earth.
)The same goes for those making ignorant comments to Mormons about Mormons when those making the comments either have no real experience with Mormons or they have merely had a different experience. If the Catholics are so “up in arms” about all this, then why is it even allowed in the forums?
What about your god on the planet Kolob? Is he imperfect, too?
They don’t want to answer those kind of question. I have asked ans can get no answers.
Apparently you are not asking the right people.
Also, if you are approaching people with an honest desire to know truth and not a sarcastic attitude trying to make them “slip up” somehow, you may eventually get the answers you say you are looking for. I have noticed that most of the questions asked in any of the threads about Mormons are not from sincere truth seekers, but rather from people who are really trying to tear the Mormon Church apart (which will never happen so you al may want to sart saving your anger for something else )
