my best friend is mormon and claims to be christian, but is not. i have talked to mormons who are now christians and they have exclaimed alot of it to me.
they keep things from the kids, they will tell them things about thier religion piece by piece so they will become brainwashed instead of getting hit w/ it all at once and going, yeah right!
You mean line upon line, precept upon precept? Like how you have to learn algebra and geometry before analytical geometry and trig?
Quote:
yes, they aren't allowed to know that stuff untill theyare strong mormons and the church knows they won't turn away from the religion
The church never knows if somebody is going to turn away from the religion but one must understand the basic tennents of a religion before one can grasp at higher. God uses the same method. The Jews weren't ready for a higher law and recieved the law of Moses, then Jesus came and introduced a higher law to live. In Mormonism you aren't expected to make promises and covenents with God you aren't ready or able to keep.
Quote:
they also believe that god had children and the good children go to mormon families, the bad ones don't...
Quote:
God had spirit children the second part is false.
since when does god have spirit children? we are his creation, but they believe spiriot children as in he has sex with mary and those children get sent to earth
Since he decided to make them I would suppose. And the second part is completely false we are spirit children, to people on earth have sex to bring them to earth how the spirit children are made isn't known to us and isn't important.
Quote:
they will become a god one day and have thier own planet with thier wife and have spirit children
Quote:
some still believe in haveing more than one wife, but most got rid of that belief.
Quote:
most mormons do live in utah b/c that is where the temples are.
Wasn't true the first time somebody said it and you saying doesn't make it anymore true.

i guess you didn't understand me, most mormons in the USA live in utah
I understood and you are still wrong. Most temples aren't inside Utah and most of the Mormon population doesn't live in Utah.

they don't believe in the trinity, they believe the holy spirit, god, and jesus are all different
Wikipedia
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka "Mormons," hold that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct individuals (Covenant 130:22), but can and do act together for the common purpose of saving mankind. The Latter-day Saint doctrine on the Godhead comes directly from the First Vision of the Prophet Joseph Smith (History:11). They believe this view to be supported by New Testament scriptures, including the circumstances surrounding the baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:16-17) and Christ's prayers to God. Christ's statement that He and His Father are "one" is interpeted to mean one in purpose, which purpose they believe the Apostles were also to join as Christ prayed in His intercessory prayer: "...that they may be one, as we are."

ok, believe the computer, but im telling you that is their belief because i have read books about them, asked my friend, talked to relatives, and talked to previous mormons about that belief, i wouldn't lie
I AM A MORMON! and that is inline with church cannon not things said by some unspecified person that you happened to meet or some unspecified book. Have you read any of our standard works besides the bible?
Quote:
they have three different levels of heaven, one if you were a pretty bad mormon, 2 if you are good, 3 if you are perfect mormon...
Quote:
and that you get to heaven by good works, some of you might believe that but the bible says that it is not by good works we eneter the gates of heaven, but through jesus (aka, accepting him into your life)
there is much more, it is a twistesd religion that an INSANE man MADE-UP...
Quote:
oh, and i have one more thing to add to that, they believe you can only get to heaven if you are a mormon and by good works, you have to be part of the church!
No you don't, everybody receives a degree of glory the degree depending upon one's actions in this life.
Quote:
Differing kingdoms in heaven. At the final judgment, each person will be assigned to an eternal dwelling place in a specific kingdom of glory, except those who are sons of Perdition.
Jesus said, In my Father’s house are many mansions, John 14: 2 (Ether 12: 32). There is one glory of the sun, and another of the moon, and another of the stars, 1 Cor. 15: 40-41. Paul was caught up to the third heaven, 2 Cor. 12: 2. There is a place of no glory and everlasting punishment, D&C 76: 30-38, 43-45. There are three degrees of glory, D&C 76: 50-113; 88: 20-32.
