Common Threads between Islam and*Mormonism



In looking at some of the candidates for the 2012 election, one cannot help but notice the controversies that have arisen regarding the Mormon religion. As I considered Luther’s quote and the concerns regarding electing a Mormon president, I noticed some peculiar similarities between the Mormon faith and Islam as they relate to orthodox Christianity.

It's hard to believe that two religions that are worlds apart geographically have so many things in common. Here are some examples:

1. Both believe that Christianity was corrupt and incomplete until their respective founders came on the scene. For Islam, it was Muhammad; for Mormons, it was Joseph Smith.

2. They both have their own book of “sacred scripture.” While both tip their hats to the Bible, each see God’s Word as insufficient by itself. Both Islam and Mormonism use many biblical themes, narratives and personalities. But the Qur’an draws heavily from the apocryphal books rather than the authoritative cannon of the Bible.

3. In both cases, Islam and Mormonism see their religion as complete within itself. Above all, both repudiate biblical Christianity and identify orthodox Christianity as a false faith.

4. Both religions reject the doctrine of the Trinity. The Mormon’s concept of god includes many gods, not just one. Muslims view god as one, but as an aloof,*remote god who could never become a man or relate to humanity. Allah can have mercy if he wants to, but he is also a cunning god.

5. Both religions reject the Bible as the sole and sufficient authority of faith. For Mormons, the Book of Mormon and other writings of the Latter Day Saints*represent God’s final revelation. For Muslims, the Qur’an and the Sunna (traditions of Muhammad) constitute God’s final authoritative word.

6. They both reject the biblical teaching of original sin. Muslims believe Adam did not become completely depraved after disobeying God; he merely slipped but quickly recovered. Therefore to Muslims, humanity does not need redemption. Salvation in Islam is very uncertain, even when keeping the Five Tenants of Islam; although some teach that jihad will help in that quest for salvation. Mormons believe that they are not condemned by what*many*call “original sin.” In other words, they are not accountable for Adam’s transgression in the Garden of Eden.

Good thing I'm basing my vote on performance and who I think will run the country better and not religion. From a religious point of view I don't recall a Mormon running two jets into the WTC or killing an American Ambassador. I'd say Mormonism is closer to Christinaity than Islam so based solely on religion I'd vote Mormon.
 
Thank you. Mitt's Mormonism has nothing to do with the election or his ability to be president.

Why the lie, little guy?

I am comparing your hatred of the far right to the Isalmofascists.

Answer the question: why did you go birfer?

bigbirferreb, stupid as they come. Hey, no need to thank me, birfer boy. Glad to make sure all are aware of what you are. Hey, outside help won't help you, son.

Whyare you defending a thread that compares Mormons to Muslims?

Funny how some people can't understand substance such as religious foundations, versus how humans act from the influence of that religion and socio-economics.

Little bitch here's your first post to this thread


Check out all the common threads between Islam and far right Christian evangelicalism.

After that you go into attack mode against anyone that says anything negative towards it. that's why you are a little lying fuck.
 
Religious foundations? Puritans hung Quakers, hung Quakers, pressed suspects to death over religion.

Mormons and non-Mormons killed each other because of religion.

bigrebnc and the rest of have nothing to teach us about this, but they can learn. But bigrebnc can't learn as long as he believes in birferism, because it melts the mind.

Let's do this slowly so even a pea brain little girl like you can understand it.
This thread is comparing Mormons to Muslims.
You are attacking those who are calling this thread bull shit.
 
This thread is talking about religious fundamentalism, which includes everyone, bub.

Can't you read?

Can't you read?

No you can't read "Common Threads between Islam and*Mormonism" There is no comparison between the two religions but you defend the OP and attack those who call it bull shit.
 
Muslims, Mormons, and far right christians have foundations of violence in their fundamentalism.

The OP is being improved is the point.

Do you not get it?
 
I want Romney to win. You guys are doing your crazee best to lose it for him.

Grow up.
 
No, getting him to support the nonsense you guys tried to pull over the Libya thing.

Thank heavens Romney is pulling back. He still has a chance.
 
Romney will not be the far right puppet.

Those days are over, and your power has eroded.
