Mormons Believe....What?!: Fact and Fiction About a Rising Religion by Gary Lawrence. A lively analysis of the facts and fictions surrounding Mormonism - a religion mysterious to some, misunderstood by many, and maligned by more than a few. Sprinkling each chapter with results from his national polls, Lawrence produces the go-to guidebook for the person who wants to understand "just enough" about this increasingly visible religion
"I believe that they are Christians. I do not know if it's the purest form of Christianity like I grew up with, but I know Mormons ... and I hear Mitt Romney say, 'I believe Jesus is the son of God, and I believe he's my Savior,'" Osteen said. "That's one of the core issues. I'm sure there are other issues we don't agree on, but I can say the Baptists and the Methodists and the Catholics don't agree on everything."
Anyone notice how most mormon channels/videos are censored (comments pending approval or off). They like to espouse their views and ignore everyone elses, that's the mormon way, scarred of debate. If they come to your home they will leave if you try and have a real conversation. If you want to see how rude SLC mormons are watch
And even unto the great and last day ,when all people ,and all kindreds,and all nations and tongues shall stand before God ,to be judged of their works ,whether they be good or whether they be evil
If they be good , to the resurrection of everlasting life , and if they be evil ,to the resurrection of damnation ;being on a parallel , the one on the one hand and the other on the other hand according to the mercy and the justice and the holiness which is in Christ ,who was before the world began.
@beastieboy1999, I have to totally agree with you. No matter how much these people disrespect us (and I don't understand why they put so much effort into it) not only are we respectful to everyone around us, all we want to do is live our lives, and worship in peace. We have done no harm to you. I also don't understand why people feel we are weird. We are totally normal.

@satv365 Interesting that you find the Book of Mormon a laughing stock because it teaches things the Mormon Church *denies.* Like God being Spirit, the Triune God, the doctrine that if you die in your sins, you're lost for eternity (which flies in the face of their baptism for the dead), monogamy (one wife only), and so on. And yeah, it does seem to me, too, that they're determined to believe it no matter what evidence to the contrary is presented...they just label it (and you) "anti-Mormon."
@wannawatchu66 You clearly have missed some information on baptism for the dead. Baptism for the dead is for those that never heard the gospel in their mortal lives and gone to the state of Paradise or Spirit Prison, where Christ heads a missionary effort to teach these souls of the gospel, and see if they will accept it.
@wannawatchu66 Is the Triune God really biblical? When it says "I and the Father are one", would it not be more logical to say that it was saying that they are on in harmony, not substance, because there is so much more evidence in the Bible that say they are separate. Why would Christ pray to himself, calling himself "Father"? What was the purpose of the events at the scene of the baptism of Christ, the display of a seperated Godhead? Why a father and a son, yet the same person? cont.
@wannawatchu66 cont. Do you know how this doctrine of Trinity came about? The Council of Nicaea, a democratic creedsmith where scholars decided what was canon or not, is why. Without the use of a prophet and minimal scripture, Constantine, the Holy Emperor and leader of the Church, and Alexander decided that the Godhead was a trinity, but when it came to vote, the Trinity was thrown out with the majority ruling a Unity. The election was then overhauled and the voters thrown out, cont.
@masterskyrunner In regards to the the Trinity start at the beginning of the bible in Genesis 1, the Hebrew translation for the word God is Elohiym throughout the chapter." Elohiym is a plural form for the name of God. This is why Genesis 1 says "Let US make man in our image.God is not speaking with the angels but is carrying on a dialogue within himself and revealing himself as pluralistic in nature. This is consistant with Deuteronomy 6:4 which I'm sure you recognize as the Hebrew Shema.
@masterskyrunner The Hebrew Shema is the first prayer a Jewish child learns in temple. The shema reads right to left in Hebrew but I inverted it "Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheynu Adonai e-chad" / Hear Oh Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Eloheynu There is no need for a prophet since these were already ancient Hebrew scripture. The doctrine of the Trinity existed before the Counsel of Nicaea, it is in scripture and has always been there.
You may chose to discriminate us, and you may chose not to listen to our gospel. But you can not change who we worship, how we worship, and you cannot dampen our faith in God, and his son, Jesus Christ.
@shaloneithne Of course you try, and so do I. We're all human. Sometimes I cringe at how Mormons and Christians talk to each other here on YouTube. When *I* talk to Mormons, I *Try* to be compassionate, despite how some LDS I've talked to treated ME. I'm not here to ridicule LDS. I don't call you guys "MORmONS" no matter how insulting and sarcastic some of you may be to me as I don't believe that to be Christ-like. No one was ever won over by being mistreated. I wouldn't be. Continued ==>
@shaloneithne You may never leave LDS, and that's your prerogative. But I can't sit idly by, knowing what I do about Mormonism and its history, and not say anything to you. On p. 15 of "The Seer," Orson Pratt wrote "...convince us of our errors of doctrine, if we have any, by reason, by logical arguments, or by the word of God, and we will be ever grateful for the information, and you will ever have the pleasing reflection that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your...
@shaloneithne (cont'd) "...fellow beings." Brigham Young said "I say to the whole world, receive the truth, No Matter Who Presents It To You. Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 16, p. 46)
So, to this end, I present the findings of my research into Mormonism to LDS at the risk of being labeled and dismissed as "anti-Mormon," which is fine. Like I said, you may never leave LDS, but...
@shaloneithne I at least try, in love, to give you something to think about. I see myself as "pro-Mormon" because I want you to know for YOUR sake, not mine, what I've discovered. I expect, and get, nothing out of warning LDS of false doctrine, false prophets, and eternal judgment. I'm not here to win arguments or ridicule anybody. If I didn't care about you people, I'd keep my keyboard shut and spare myself the abuse that some LDS here have heaped on me.
Elder Jack H. Goaslind Jr., 83, an emeritus general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died Wednesday, April 27, 2011, in Salt Lake City.
He served as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy for two decades, twice as a member of the Presidency of the Seventy and as counselor in the LDS Church's Aaronic Priesthood MIA general presidency and later as the general Young Men president.
Towards the end of 2004 our stake president, Conrad Gottfredson, came to our home to visit. My husband, Michael Kennedy, Sr., and I knew our stake president was a very inspired man and heard how he would call someone or visit with them in their home, day or night following promptings that he was needed.
The Deseret Foundation's Heart and Lung Research Foundation, a fundraising arm of Intermountain Healthcare, presented President Uchtdorf with the award Thursday night at a banquet held at the Little America Hotel.
The award, first created in 1991, is given to "eminent leaders with Utah ties for their contribution to the well-being of people everywhere," said award committee chair Frank Madsen.
Richmond County investigators are looking for an armed robber after two women said they were mugged in South Augusta Saturday evening.
The two women say they were preaching on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on the 2300 block of Winston Way when they approached a man and talked to him about behind baptized, according to an incident report filed with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
For UNC senior Anna McElroy, a knock on the door opened her up to a new way of life.
After initially rebuffing the efforts of two Mormon missionaries she met outside a friend's apartment door, McElroy had a change of heart after seeing a "South Park" satire of the religion.
She saw another pair of missionaries in the Pit and began talking to them about their faith's answers to life's big questions.
For two days, Church members around the globe will gather in various locations to hear counsel from Church leaders, including President Thomas S. Monson and each member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, as well as other General Authorities and auxiliary leaders of the Church.
The 181st Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will take place on April 2 and 3, 2011, at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
It's sad to see that there are videos like this making fun of the true church. I can surely tell you my testimony, that I know the church of jesus christ of latter day saints is trueand that there is a living profit on the earth today. I hope you feel inspired to learn more and investigate the church by seeing revolting videos like this. :)
@makingaccountforyou: Wo unto those who call evil good and call good evil; calling dark light, and light dark. (Fellow Mormons, u probably know the scripture I'm talkin about.) Shame, you're gonna preach your hate and lies forever til you die and get throttled by the truth.. unless you change your ways and seek the truth. Satan has YOU.
Dallas, TX -- When Editor Howard F. Clarke checked the sales figures of his newly formatted version of "Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters, a Family Record," he found an odd statistic: the Jane Austen bio is selling more copies in Salt Lake City, Utah than in any other U.S. location... by a ratio of 8 to 1.
Let us rephrase that: We have a problem with the rather selective way we live the Word of Wisdom. No smoking, check. No drinking, check. No tea or coffee, check. But what about the part on eating meat sparingly? And eating whole grains? What about wholesome herbs and fruits in their season? And is there anything in there about excessive ice cream?
The property is still under the control of local authorities as they seek to find answers regarding the cause of the fire. When that process is complete we will have the opportunity to evaluate the building and determine the best course of action. We anticipate this will be a lengthy process, but we will make our plans known as soon as we are able. . .
The Provo Tabernacle was a meaningful part of Church history and the Provo community. Its loss in a recent fire is a tragedy for all who loved the building and its link to our pioneer past.
I know that God lives. Jesus is the Christ. This is His Church. The Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith is its translator and the prophet of this last dispensation. President Thomas S. Monson is God’s prophet today. I so testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
@omiolo The last Prophet is Jesus Christ. All the prophets before Jesus pointed to and prophesied about His coming. After Christ there is no need for prophets as His arrival was what the were talking about, prophecy fulfilled. So if Christ was the last Prophet, there will be no other... Unless they are False Prophets... You only need to read Mark 13:22-23 to see. Christ has already told you not to believe in such prophets, unless you don't believe what Christ said is true...
maybe you should open your Bible and see if you can find the word P R O P H E T after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I think that will help for starters.
Though being a former LDS and against LDS, I had so much of a laugh from Monty Python (one of my favourite comedians) that I cannot feel offended at this video. Thanks for sharing this Monty Python sketch...hilarious! :)
He has no power to destroy the eternal bonds forged in a holy temple between a husband, wife, and children. He cannot quench true faith. He cannot take away your testimony. Yes, these things can be lost by succumbing to his temptations. But he has no power in and of himself to destroy them.
The devil will not triumph. Even now he must operate within the bounds set by the Lord. He cannot take away any blessing that has been earned. He cannot alter character that has been woven from righteous decisions.
@omiolo That is the key point of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Love versus Fear the more powerful is love it is light and the shadows disappear upon its appearance.
There are far more if we include the points made in each lesson. Would you like to take a guess at how many lessons there are about preparing for life as a single woman? Or lesson points that prepare young women for life alone? Exactly zero.
I currently serve in the Young Women program of the Church. Do you know how many lessons there are in the manual about dating, marriage, or family preparation? According to my count, there are 13 lessons in the 2011 manual, just going on the lesson titles alone.
Go to live science com website to see the nov. 2007 article called First Americans All from Siberia, Study Confirms
New genetic evidence, however, backs up a chilly northwestern arrival to North America from Siberia about 12,000 years ago, via a temporary land bridge spanning the Bering Strait. The findings further challenge an alternative idea that humans sprinkled in to both North and South America on open sea voyages 30,000 years in the past.
I wonder, If person within the LDS starts teaching "another gospel" other than the one that THEY teach, does this person use the old "you're being anti mormon" Card on them when a LDS member tries to lead THEM back into the flock? And I wonder how a member of LDS would react to it?
What people read is, in itself, of no consequence. It is what they become that is real and consequential. Are we more loving, more spiritual, positive, more helpful, truthful and more healing in our attitude toward the world? Mormonism and churchianity mostly fail in this regard, but there must be a fundamental spiritual truth that can help us gain who and what we really are as the children of divine Love? Where, o where can that be?
“But even if we or an angel from heaven (moroni) should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, curse be on him!” Galatians 1:6-9 Morman’s are not prepared for the coming apocalypse, Huge Sorrow will be to the morman who refuse to see the truth, You have been warned your fall will be great. Read the BIBLE ONLY!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is one of the most active modern practitioners of missionary work, with over fifty thousand full-time missionaries worldwide, as of the end of 2009.
Nationwide, less than 1 percent of Hispanics are Mormon, compared to almost 70 percent Catholic, according to the Pew Research Center. Worldwide, Hispanics make up the fastest growing contingent of Mormon converts, church leaders said.
@omiolo Yes i think you r right here Omiolo . I have heard that in the poorer, less educated, communities Mormon missionary efforts are more successful. In Samoa, for example, 50% of the island in the south pacific are Mormons. Of the Hispanics, as you say, they represent the the most mormon converts in the USA.
@kramd1 "I have heard that in the poorer, less educated, communities Mormon missionary efforts are more successful"
That is true. We take these people and in one or two generations we have them the complete opposite. That is the miracle of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
President Thomas S. Monson rededicated the Laie Hawaii Temple — the church's 5th temple worldwide and the first outside of Utah — in three sessions Sunday.
Although the display of Bloch's is smaller in number than many exhibits previously housed at the BYU Museum of Art, the pieces displayed make up for sheer volume, the BYU Museum of Art Director Campbell Gray said.
Also included in the tour are panoramic photos of the Bloch altar pieces the museum was unable to acquire for the exhibit. Some non-religious paintings are on display along with photos and video of many familiar religious paintings that are housed in the king's oratory, or prayer chamber, in the Frederiksburg Castle in Denmark. Bloch spent 14 years painting the king's oratory from 1865-79. None of the 23 paintings from the Frederiksburg Castle are part of the exhibit.
Mormonism=BLASPHEMY. Did you know that Hinkley said in 1998 that the jesus the mormons believe in is not the jesus of the bible? Visit watchman org website. there are many many INVERTED PENTAGRAMS all over the salt lake and navou temples, BUT NO CROSSES. Mormons taught that blacks have dark skin because they are cursed and until 1978, blacks were not allowed into their priesthood until the gov't threatened to take their tax exempt status look at religious tolerance org .
If you find that you receive many of your answers in the second pattern … you are normal. That particular pattern is more common than rare. You should not question your testimony or your own spiritual capacity."
During their mission, LDS missionaries maintain a strict dress and moral code. They aren't allowed to date, and they can only call home on Christmas and Mother's Day.
Concerning the conservative religious atmosphere of College Station, Batt - who has been here for six months - said, "It makes it a lot easier to bring up the topic and discuss the issues. But I love College Station. The people are nice and the area is beautiful."

From 28 April 2010 to 1 May 2010, the National Genealogical Society held its annual Family History Conference at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. Representatives of FamilySearch — a division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — contributed to several aspects of the conference.
Over 30 of the conference workshops were provided by FamilySearch employees, and even more employees staffed FamilySearch booths in the exhibit hall each day, answering the public’s family history questions and demonstrating free online resources.
I did not read the bubbles when I was listening to this skit, but just read the description, so did not get the satire (even though whomever made the comments about the disaffected mormons could also be a little more charitable); shows I was also choosing to not be thorough, or did not get the message. Were they added after this video was created or when it was uploaded? Thanks...
My grammar was incorrect (parallelisms) and the ideas stated could have been organized better. Again, you are talking about innuendo and being incorrect without stating about what -- vacuous words that are not saying anything.
The Mormon religion is very rational and Mormons as a group are more educated than the general population. Also, "the Glory if God is Intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth" is a motto Mormons believe in. Also, Joseph Smith taught that you can only be saved as quickly as you gain KNOWLEDGE. Finally, we believe that we have greater advantage in the next life as we increase in knowing facts and obedience to truth through diligence.
The event brought together members of two groups affiliated with the BYU Law School — the DC Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the law society and the International Center for Law and Religion Studies in Provo, Utah. Cole Durham, director of the center, congratulated the senator and emphasized the critical role of freedom of religion in protecting religious rights. He noted that 16th-century scholar William Tyndale was put to death simply for translating the Bible into English.
When Kaderabkova's husband, Jan Kaderabek, finally joined the church in 1975, a military helicopter showed up just before the baptism in a pond near Plzen, sending people scattering for cover — but not until they had thrown coats and clothes over car license plates in order to avoid identification. After hovering for 10 minutes, the helicopter finally left, and the baptism was quickly performed.
he baptisms were quickly performed, and converts — still in their wet clothes — walked back to the cars with the witnesses to return to the city, still hoping to avoid unwanted attention.
What is an Anti-Mormon? I've heard of Anti-Mormonism, but to be Anti-Mormon one would have to be against the individual person, and I don't know of any real Christians who are against the people, only the false doctrine.
Remember that when you should have been living your life exalting God, but instead you lived it trying to exalt yourself, you are not Christian. The Bible clearly teaches over and over that you are born an enemy of God, there is only one God and He knows not of any other gods.
"While I came to Taiwan and Hong Kong many times when I was employed as a pilot, I have not had the chance to visit the saints in this part of the world since I was called as an apostle and began serving in the First Presidency," President Uchtdorf said. "I was so excited to take this opportunity."
After his mission is completed he plans to attend BYU in Idaho to possibly study law. “I would not trade my mission for anything,” he said.
Becoming a missionary is voluntary and we know what we will be doing when we sign up, Anderson said. Anderson said he became a missionary because everyone deserves to know what a blessing the gospel and family is.
The sprawling Bolivian capital city of La Paz stretches across a deep geographical bowl that is bordered by Andean mountain peaks. The Church has had a presence in La Paz since the early 1960s.
In Placer County: More than 800 volunteers will be working in the Hidden Falls Regional Park, installing several miles of fence posts and non-barbed wire, clearing existing trails, building new trails and clearing brush.
In El Dorado County: At the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, where early members of the Church were instrumental in discovering gold and sparking the Gold Rush, hundreds of workers will paint and restore several buildings. Last year, the state park was threatened with closure.
In Sacramento: One of the oldest cemeteries will receive a sprucing-up, as 400 volunteers will do some light painting, trimming around headstones and cleaning them up at East Lawn Memorial Park at Folsom Boulevard and 43rd Street.
In Orangevale: Volunteers will be refurbishing one of the towns biggest draws: the Frisbee Golf Course at Orangevale Park.

In Natomas: Partnering with the Sacramento Tree Foundation and the Sacramento City Council, volunteers will plant 86 trees at Rosebud Park in North Natomas and build a community garden in a Natomas neighborhood that doesnt currently have such amenities.
McCullough talked of visiting Normandy with a Jewish couple, who placed pebbles on the grave of a Jewish soldier. "They said it was their way of staying in touch. That's what we all should be doing. History — whether you call it history or local history or family history — transcends time, transcends nationality, transcends geography. It reminds us that we are all part of the human family. We must stay in touch."
@jakec916 And, he added, "we should never say 'gone, but not forgotten.' If they are not forgotten, they are not gone. They created the society, the values, the experiences we all live by. We must not lose sight of them."
Jesus Christ wants our love for him and Heavenly Father to motivate our obedience to the commandments. The Lord exhorted, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Keeping the commandments helps us grow spiritually, but divine perfection cannot be compelled. Following and emulating Christ means obeying willingly because we love Him. "Man's love of God is measured in terms of obedience and service" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 2nd Ed., 540).
He is a member of the elite Institute of Medicine and the elite National Academy of Sciences, and his research, first at the University of Michigan and then at the National Institutes of Health, has led to the identification of the genes responsible for such illnesses as cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's disease and Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome.
Yet Francis Collins' scientific credentials are impeccable. He holds a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Yale University and a doctorate in medicine from the University of North Carolina.

"It's really hard to finds dresses that are really cute that are modest," said Mikayla Gogan, one of the ninth grade students in Guy Johnson's Willowcreek Middle School LDS Seminary class. "I've had this problem. It's really hard and even when you think you found something that will work with a white or black undershirt and leggings, you can still get kicked out of a stake dance."
It usually requires marathon shopping with a critical eye to find something to purchase and even then, the outfit usually requires adding something underneath or atop.
LDS Business College President J. Lawrence Richards spoke about the need for graduates to transform the preparation they've received throughout college into the performance their futures will demand of them.
He concluded his remarks at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square by explaining how the road to becoming a positive role model begins and ends with a rather simple decision.
"You don't choose to be a role model," Elder Maynes said. "You are one. Your choice has to do with the quality of the role model you will be."
Leaders can help Young Women learn by study and faith as they do three simple things: First, prepare to learn. Second, teach one another. And third, act.
"We must flood the earth with light," said Sister Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women general president. "It is time for us as leaders to arise and shine forth."
It was easier than expected to find volunteer support. Forty-five Latter-day Saints were stationed aboard the Comfort on a rotating basis, each serving at least one month. The church also made 137 volunteers available in-country from its missionary force and church membership.
"It was so great to watch this fall into place," Leishman said.
"I can't make any guarantees, but let me see what we can do," Leishman told them.
The Presiding Bishopric approved the church's involvement, and LDS Humanitarian Services loaded the comfort with hygiene, medical and school supplies.
After being called as Relief Society general president, Sister Julie B. Beck and her counselors, Sister Silvia H. Allred and Sister Barbara Thompson, began pondering the purposes and objectives of Relief Society. They read the history of the organization, the Church Handbook of Instructions, and other lists of objectives. They found that everything about Relief Society could be summarized with three things Latter-day Saint women should be doing every day.
To these four suggestions he stated, "I pray that we will build our foundation of faith in Christ as we keep earning our own witness, following the Lord's patterns, learning so as to love others and counting our blessings every day."
Finally, he stated that to count our blessings every day, we need to build our foundation of faith in Christ. In order to do that he noted, "We need to have thoughts and feelings of overwhelming gratitude to Him. Gratitude does not seem to be inborn in most of us and if we do feel it, it seems to be very short lived. I heard one psychologist trainer say: 'Gratitude is the shortest of all human emotions. It is presently clocked at 4.3 seconds.' "
For once we have received a witness of the truth of the everlasting gospel, we are to follow the Lord's patterns to build our foundation of faith in Christ. The Lord's patterns are all intended to keep us safe, happy and on the path back to our heavenly home."
His second suggestion was simple—"The patterns we follow in our lives take many forms sometimes they are ideals we believe in, professions we love or persons we admire. These patterns influence our goals, decisions and actions. As followers of Christ, we need to be careful about the patterns we follow
Elder Gerrit W. Gong, 56, had been serving as a member of the Fifth Quorum of the Seventy in the Utah South Area when called to serve in the First Quorum of the Seventy.
Kevin Read Duncan was born in Ogden, Utah, on 6 October 1960. He married Nancy Elizabeth Smart in August 1986. They are the parents of five children. Elder and Sister Duncan reside in Washington, Utah.
Elder Duncan has served in numerous Church callings, including full-time missionary in Chile, bishops counselor, ward mission leader, ward executive secretary, high councilor, Church-service missionary as associate international legal counsel in South America, and president of the Chile Santiago North Mission.

really? In SC around 10 years ago a white man was kicked out of a university for marrying a black woman.
Two years ago in SC, at Clemson University, a white group got together and had ghetto day where they dressed up and painted their faces to mock black people.
In a lot of ways I wish that were true, but Michael Huston and others spend ALL day on youtube and on google trying to be avid ANTImormons. I think Canadianbacon tackles a LOT of those types who have made this their life.

@satv365 Interesting that you find the Book of Mormon a laughing stock because it teaches things the Mormon Church *denies.* Like God being Spirit, the Triune God, the doctrine that if you die in your sins, you're lost for eternity (which flies in the face of their baptism for the dead), monogamy (one wife only), and so on. And yeah, it does seem to me, too, that they're determined to believe it no matter what evidence to the contrary is presented...they just label it (and you) "anti-Mormon."

@wannawatchu66 You clearly have missed some information on baptism for the dead. Baptism for the dead is for those that never heard the gospel in their mortal lives and gone to the state of Paradise or Spirit Prison, where Christ heads a missionary effort to teach these souls of the gospel, and see if they will accept it.

@wannawatchu66 Is the Triune God really biblical? When it says "I and the Father are one", would it not be more logical to say that it was saying that they are on in harmony, not substance, because there is so much more evidence in the Bible that say they are separate. Why would Christ pray to himself, calling himself "Father"? What was the purpose of the events at the scene of the baptism of Christ, the display of a seperated Godhead? Why a father and a son, yet the same person? cont.

@wannawatchu66 cont. Do you know how this doctrine of Trinity came about? The Council of Nicaea, a democratic creedsmith where scholars decided what was canon or not, is why. Without the use of a prophet and minimal scripture, Constantine, the Holy Emperor and leader of the Church, and Alexander decided that the Godhead was a trinity, but when it came to vote, the Trinity was thrown out with the majority ruling a Unity. The election was then overhauled and the voters thrown out, cont.

@masterskyrunner In regards to the the Trinity start at the beginning of the bible in Genesis 1, the Hebrew translation for the word God is Elohiym throughout the chapter." Elohiym is a plural form for the name of God. This is why Genesis 1 says "Let US make man in our image.God is not speaking with the angels but is carrying on a dialogue within himself and revealing himself as pluralistic in nature. This is consistant with Deuteronomy 6:4 which I'm sure you recognize as the Hebrew Shema.

@masterskyrunner The Hebrew Shema is the first prayer a Jewish child learns in temple. The shema reads right to left in Hebrew but I inverted it "Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheynu Adonai e-chad" / Hear Oh Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Eloheynu There is no need for a prophet since these were already ancient Hebrew scripture. The doctrine of the Trinity existed before the Counsel of Nicaea, it is in scripture and has always been there.

At that time, they were trying to
understand the concepts of priesthood, of sealing power, and of
church hierarchy. In some early Church meetings, there are aspects
of Pentecostalism and other Protestant thought that sometimes seem
to be reflected. So speculation by members at that time might not
reflect a full understanding of the gospel. But, as the members

It was easier than expected to find volunteer support. Forty-five Latter-day Saints were stationed aboard the Comfort on a rotating basis, each serving at least one month. The church also made 137 volunteers available in-country from its missionary force and church membership.
"It was so great to watch this fall into place," Leishman said.

"I can't make any guarantees, but let me see what we can do," Leishman told them.
The Presiding Bishopric approved the church's involvement, and LDS Humanitarian Services loaded the comfort with hygiene, medical and school supplies.

After being called as Relief Society general president, Sister Julie B. Beck and her counselors, Sister Silvia H. Allred and Sister Barbara Thompson, began pondering the purposes and objectives of Relief Society. They read the history of the organization, the Church Handbook of Instructions, and other lists of objectives. They found that everything about Relief Society could be summarized with three things Latter-day Saint women should be doing every day.

To these four suggestions he stated, "I pray that we will build our foundation of faith in Christ as we keep earning our own witness, following the Lord's patterns, learning so as to love others and counting our blessings every day."

Finally, he stated that to count our blessings every day, we need to build our foundation of faith in Christ. In order to do that he noted, "We need to have thoughts and feelings of overwhelming gratitude to Him. Gratitude does not seem to be inborn in most of us and if we do feel it, it seems to be very short lived. I heard one psychologist trainer say: 'Gratitude is the shortest of all human emotions. It is presently clocked at 4.3 seconds.' "

For once we have received a witness of the truth of the everlasting gospel, we are to follow the Lord's patterns to build our foundation of faith in Christ. The Lord's patterns are all intended to keep us safe, happy and on the path back to our heavenly home."

His second suggestion was simple—"The patterns we follow in our lives take many forms sometimes they are ideals we believe in, professions we love or persons we admire. These patterns influence our goals, decisions and actions. As followers of Christ, we need to be careful about the patterns we follow

@smokyp3nguin
really? In SC around 10 years ago a white man was kicked out of a university for marrying a black woman.
Two years ago in SC, at Clemson University, a white group got together and had ghetto day where they dressed up and painted their faces to mock black people.
I could go on and on.
Maybe you are too RACIST to see that!

In a lot of ways I wish that were true, but Michael Huston and others spend ALL day on youtube and on google trying to be avid ANTImormons. I think Canadianbacon tackles a LOT of those types who have made this their life.
