Mormon Q & A

I saw this on a website i sometimes visit. I thought some of you would like it:



Dear Conrad: I know you don't have a lot of time to answer all questions, but I don't need an in depth answer. Jesus said the only way to get to heaven was through him. Mormons say they believe in Jesus and know he's God son sent to die for us, but does that save them from sin? Will I see them in heaven? I know the rest of their beliefs are quite off track and they definitely don't line up with what the Bible says. I've always thought I wasn't going to see them in heaven, but a friend brought up this point. I'm just a little confused and hope to hear from you soon! Thanks and God bless. - - Vanessa



Vanessa,

There is one major super crucial difference between Christianity and Mormonism. That difference is that Christianity believes that Christ is God. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God. Mormonism doesn’t believe that. Neither do Jehovah’s Witnesses. So while Mormons and JWs say they believe the Bible and Christ, it is not a belief in God-Christ. They believe that Christ is a god – not the God. Christianity does not believe that submitting in a god will save you, only submitting to the God.



Another way to put it is this. Let say someone is choking and you and a friend decide to use the Heimlich maneuver to save him. You know what the real Heimlich is, but your friend thinks the Heimlich maneuver is: slapping the dude in the face with a tuna fish sandwich. Even though both of you say, “The Heimlich maneuver will save you,” you are actually talking about two different things, and only one will save that dude who is choking.

nope 'mainstream' christianity does. there are still countless christians who know christ as the messiah and their own personal savour and yet manage to do it without arse raping the bible .

the NT makes very clear what a 'christian' is and subscription to dogma of the trinity (which ever sort cos there are loads) isn't mentioned.

Oh, OK, I get it now.

Yeah, I know what this guy is saying, but the way he said it is confusing, in my opinion.

In a similar vein:

"If God has bodily form then he is subject to time and could not have created the universe."

What is wrong with this statement?
