Thread Name: BS: A question for Mormons
Subject: RE: BS: A question for Mormons
I find it really odd(?) or a peculiar coincidence that at the same time the country was being torn apart by racial divides (1960's, 1970's) the Mormon president was praying from an answer from God on whether or not it was OK for blacks to hold the priesthood.
The LDS church has always changed their doctrine to fit the times. Even today, their push to be accepted as a mainstream Christian religion, has affected the way they film their commercials and the way it is presented to the non LDS person. They hammer us all on the fact that they read the bible and believe in Jesus. OK. Even Satan believes in Jesus. Does that make him right in what he believes?
The one thing that I find to be particularly damning is the fact that Mormons believe that if you are a good mormon and make it to the celestial heaven then you will become a "god" of your own universe. The LDS doctrine of "As man is now, God once was. As God is now, man can become" is especially troubling to me if for nothing else than the fact that this is what the serpent told Adam and Eve before their fall from grace. He told them that if they ate of the fruit of the tree then they would be like God.
It's pretty sad that so many are following something so close to the truth that they will miss heaven by so far. Thank God that my wife saw the "light" and turned her back on the LDS church.
