I never said I was.
You’re welcome to join whatever you want, but I’ll stick with the Mormon and Catholic churches as far as organizations go.

No 1holy catholics post was not infantile, he/she quite simply stated the truth, You cannot be both Mormon and Catholic, because you post absurd and childish comments does not make it so! You cannot find a way to be both Mormon and Catholic because is does not exsist. The reason others cannot see it is because it just is not so, you sound like a petulant child who cannot have his/her own way.No. 1holycatholic’s post was equally infantile by not giving any reasons, and just saying that it can’t be done. I much prefer Bishop Soto’s approach of giving reasons for "no"s that are grounded in "yes"es. I’m not an unreasonable person, but if something can be done, I will find a way, even if no one else can see it.
And to prove your point.No 1holy catholics post was not infantile, he/she quite simply stated the truth, You cannot be both Mormon and Catholic, because you post absurd and childish comments does not make it so! You cannot find a way to be both Mormon and Catholic because is does not exsist.

Incidentally I was not aware just how silly, nonsensical and absurd Mormonism was untill you suppled that info. Claiming you are both Catholic and Mormon just makes you sound ridiculous,
People are laughing at you, not with you.
ETA: and may I add, pitying you, as well.
Mormons are polytheists. Christians are monotheists.The arguments against Mormonism’s Christianity are largely unconvincing to an unbiased audience, though even if they were, being Christian in one sense makes me Christian by default in the same way that wet + dry = wet.
You have lied before. And you have admitted to those lies. I do not believe you.My Catholic extended family (on my dad’s side) prays with my Mormon immediate family, and my life-long Mormon mom gave me my first rosary.
Because you lie and nothing you say is trustworthy. The real thing that makes me worried about you is in four or five years when you are old enough to drive, will you treat other drivers and the traffic laws with the same disrespect and contempt that you treat everyone, with no exceptions, here?Then don’t believe me. But I am telling the truth. Why is it so hard to believe that an inter-faith family can get along?
Quote:There you go begging the question again. I’m not convinced that Mormons are polytheists and neither are most other Mormons. Mormon scriptures specifically state that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are One God.
I know. My family consists of various Christians-quite a few denominations of Protestants and of course, Catholic. Still we can have something in common. Mormonism, however, has different beliefs and we also all have to be wary of proseltyzing now (and then there’s that “Baptism of the Dead” thing or disrespect for the dead–if they can’t get you in life–they’ll get you in death.).And please tell me you at least know of some healthy inter-faith families. They’re not that uncommon, you know.
D&C 132: 37These passages carry more weight than Smith’s impromptu utterances.
“And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.”
“Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and eternal, without end. Amen.”
- D&C 20:28
No it is not. Saints do not have god-like powers or knowledge. If the BoM meant to say they were in Heaven, then it would say that. It did not, it says they are gods.In the context of larger Mormon theology, that’s roughly equivalently to the Catholic Church declaring someone a saint. 2 Nephi 31:21 and D&C 20:28 are very clear on the matter, and anything else has to be taken with them in account.
Really come on now, you really want us to believe she gave you rosary because she thought you might enjoy it. that comment made me laugh., and my life-long Mormon mom gave me my first rosary. (I didn’t even ask her for one. She just thought I might enjoy it.)
I am done conversing with a liar, wielder of witchcraft and a pot stirer. You are simply unworthy of any attention.What does theosis mean to you?
And that was from the Doctrine and Covenants, not the Book of Mormon.
A Participation in the life of God (not becoming a god.) Salvation from unholiness. A personal union with God–but not in an external way.What does theosis mean to you?
so, what do you make of this:This is how I see it, and it’s authentic, if unpopular, in Mormonism as a whole.
The other poster is correct. The rosary is not to be ‘enjoyed’ but used as a means of adoration for christ and intercession.My Catholic extended family (on my dad’s side) prays with my Mormon immediate family, and my life-long Mormon mom gave me my first rosary. (I didn’t even ask her for one. She just thought I might enjoy it.)
And yet, I have heard priests pray heavenly father in the name of christ. In fact, most EV sects pray to the father in the name of christ, including Rory and Wendy Alec who run GOD TV.What part of the statement “Jesus is God” don’t you understand?
As Jesus showed us with the Lords prayer payer We pray to god our father. When we pray in the name of Christ our Savior our Lord we are but acknowledging that it is through the Son we as gentiles have been brought into a new covenant with God. I conclude most of my prayers " in Christ name I pray".And yet, I have heard priests pray heavenly father in the name of christ.

How many gods are there?![]()
This is pretty much the way I see it: It is a “advanced” doctrine which is denied and downplayed on the outside, but once you become a member you are not a “true Moromon” unless you believe it.Mormons are embarrassed about this doctrine and so they try to deny it’s really taught. Even President Hinckley denied it was taught when the proof is right on the LDS web site that it is taught! Mormons are just “lying for the Lord” when they try this tactic. Pretty dishonest.
No. God cannot be added or subtracted from. Those passages mean the transcendent Glory of God is more fully revealed to His creatures. When someone realizes a Truth more fully and they say, “Glory be to God!” that means THEY THEMSELF recognized God’s Glory in a more profound way, NOT that they were adding onto God.According to the Bible, it is possible to add to the glory of God:Matthew 5:
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
John 12:
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
John 14:
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 15:
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.And here is a well-known quote from modern LDS scripture:Moses 1:
39 For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.To “glorify” someone means to add to or increase their glory. God increases or adds to His own glory by bringing about the salvation and redemption of man. Jesus adds to the glory of God by helping in that process (with the Atonement). Likewise we add to the glory of God in our own small ways by helping to further that cause.
