Zone1 I Found This Video to Be One of the Fairest Videos About the LDS Religion from a Non-Member

[onefour1]

Just one note about the Word of Wisdom. The revelation did not come by way of commandment from the Lord but we members hold to it since it was revealed by God for our benefit. The revelation can be found here Doctrine and Covenants 89

For a Catholic to create a fair video is striking.
I quit the rambling at the conclusion but must ask?
What do you have to lose by joining our church? We don't bite. We don't roll around on the floor. We don't bring snakes to our service. We are polite. We welcome all who show up. We don't pass around collection plates and expect you to deposit cash.
What do you have to lose by attending and experiencing the real LDS system?

He really covered the "Planet" thing the best I've heard even from members. We aren't seeking a planet or universe. We are expanding our Father in Heaven's eternal family along with our own eternal families. It's not about seeking to be come gods. It's about our love for our families and their eternal lives going forwards. You are right. Catholics in here should pay attention and watch all the way through. Meriweather might actually stop hating us because we baptize for the dead. She might even understand it's purpose has love and eternal families at its heart.

Just to cover the "planet" issue, I was taught early on that we actually will have our own universe to organize. There's no need for more planets in this universe as the Savior has completed the mission for all of Father in Heaven's children in His universe. So, for our Church leaders to say the "planet" issue isn't true doctrine is correct. Onefour1 will have a universe with worlds without end to organize.

But, here's the thing, in 1st Corinthians chapter 15, it doesn't say Celestial "Kingdom." And, in D&C 76 it doesn't say Celestial "Kingdom." There is no mention of a world for the Celestial. There is for Terrestrial. There isn't for Telestial either. It's Celestial Glory. The highest degree of Celestial glory receives the eternal family increase with our spouses we are sealed to. Perhaps the Terrestrial and Telestial glory persons will be on a world in this universe. We don't have any doctrine about this and therefore it's not important how the exact set up is. And, the point of the person making the video was it's not important. What's important is our desire to be exalted heirs of our Heavenly Father and continue His family lineage beyond ours...

Non biblical doctrine. Follow your path and I'll follow Jesus Christ as I understand Him

We more than follow Jesus Christ, we honor him in all we do.

I don't agree. I'll leave it at that. You, like most others who follow their organizations preach doctrine that is not biblical. I don't follow men.

We don't actually preach, we explain and of course directly from the Bible.

As you understand is not Biblical doctrine. Trinity was not in the original writings. It was added after John was translated and no apostles or prophets in 170AD. Amos 3:7, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets⁠.” Thats Biblical doctrine.

And as I have pointed out numerous times, the various Christian sects continuously snipe each as not being THE real Christian religion.

We LDS comment on forums to attempt to cause others to understand. We never snipe at any religion in church services.
Several of we LDS post here and never has any of us sniped at other churches.

I guess it depends on your definition of "snipe".

Here are facts. We have church services. We NEVER harp about other churches or their services.
I have also attended other churches. Some of them sniped about other religions.

I'm not specifying what is said in Church. I have heard all of my life one Christian sect disparaging another in person and online. Maybe LDS doesn't do that because you are the new kids on the block. But I guarantee you Mormons are disparaged by just about all the Christian sects.

And that should tell you something about what we have. Just as the so-called true religion at the time of the crucifixion would disparage Jesus Christ and his Church, we see the parallels of what you do with His Church in these the Latter-days.

You "explain"/teach/preach Sunday as Gods Sabbath. That's one of many un biblical teachings.

Sunday has always been Satan's day. Like I said, I don't bow down to any organization.

God is not divided. ALL BELIEFS are not correct. The duty of the serious Christian is to strive to faithfully understand God. Most don't take the Word seriously. Mormons and JWs generally do. I give them credit for that

 

[MarathonMike]

What if a person believes he is a Christian but he doesn't "strive to faithfully understand God". What does that mean? Studying the Bible everyday? Going to Church multiple times per week? If this person does not do that, is he not really a Christian and is he thus damned?

I will tell you this much. Start with the building blocks of all that exists. Later we can deal with your issues.
First, can we all agree there is the universe with billions of stars with who can count the planets? We can probably agree that it is likely some other planets also have life on them.

Billions of stars, were they accidents or were they created?

With all due respect, that is a dodge. I am bringing up a legitimate point that there are schisms between the various Christian Sects AND even within a particular religion. I heard 'false Christian' as a child when I was immersed in the Methodist Church. Your reference to Christians who aren't serious sounds similar to the things I heard growing up.
