Mormon Means Teaching Others How to Be Christian

[omiolo]

"Certainly a house needs order. Certainly, it needs to be a place of preparation where needs can be met. Just as certainly, it needs to be a place of stimulation where people can grow in faith and knowledge and where their hearts can expand with wisdom and love and service. The great message for all mothers is to accept the challenge of the mighty task. Rearing children is worthy of our best efforts and the joys and blessings of this challenge are great…..

Brainwashed maniacs.

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

@migraine516 I want you to know that God loves you.

[migraine516]

@MormonsLoveFamilies  Thanks. But I see no evidence of your god or of your christian mythology. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

@migraine516 God still loves you.

I've been inviting groups of mormons over for almost a year now.  Extremely nice people and a fairly tolerant religion. Too bad it's all demonstrably wrong.

"We . . . rode hundreds of miles, following the tracks of different bands of hostile Indians, and were close upon them a great many times. They were attacking settlements all around us, killing the settlers and driving off stock." But the company did not see a single Indian. (Orson F. Whitney, Life of Heber C. Kimball, an Apostle, 2d ed., Salt Lake City: Stevens and Wallis, 1945, p. 429).

"After a splendid dinner at which we freely and sociably partook of the good things of the earth, father John Smith blessed the babe of Brother and Sister Lorenzo Young. I served as scribe. Brother Jedediah M. Grant prayed and dedicated the house to the Lord."

@omiolo Blessing of others is a very Mormon Christian thing to do.

"The society was working on a federal grant, but it fell through," Cook said, so church members committed to help paint the house.

[omiolo]

Cook said the town started in the 1860s with a cotton mill, which closed a few years ago, and the house is part of the mill's legacy.

[omiolo]

Brad Cook, second counselor in the Quitman (Mississippi) Branch, is directing the project in his area, where at least 15 Latter-day Saints will help paint a historic house in nearby Stonewall, Miss., that is being renovated by the Stonewall Historical Society.

[omiolo]

For many of the projects, Mormons are teaming up with other churches and community organizations.

[omiolo]

Preparedness fairs are planned in such areas as Savannah, Ga.; Petal, Miss.; Alabaster, Ala.; Columbia, S.C.; Louisville, Ky.; Glasgow, Ky.; Goldsboro, N.C.; Kissimmee, Fla.; Nashville, Tenn.; and English, Ind.

Haring said, "Our goal was to have everybody in the stake participate in some way." Even the Primary children helped by creating badges and bracelets for participants.

[omiolo]

The Fort Myers Stake came up with the idea for "Reel Fun, Real Friends," a free fishing event for special needs children and adults. The stake planned the event in conjunction with state and regional parks so that participants would be provided with fishing equipment and bait -- with no fishing licenses required. The event will be held at parks in three locations -- Fort Myers, Naples and Osprey, Fla.

[omiolo]

Debora Haring, public affairs director of the Fort Myers Florida Stake, said Elder Walter F. Gonzalez of the Presidency of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints challenged 96 stakes in the Southeast to set up a day of service. The challenge was issued last August, and "Day of Service 2009" was to take place in all areas on the same day.

[omiolo]

Mormon service will be breaking out all over the southeastern United States on Saturday, April 25.

Do Mormon's still believe that Blacks have dark skin because their ancestors were sinners?

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

RexFordVII:

I want you to know that God loves you. He loves you unconditionally. Even if you repeat things that are untrue.

[RexFordVII]

Maybe you haven't heard of Joseph Smith, the inventor of your religion, but he claims that blacks are born black because they allied with Satan in the war against heaven.

Is this not what Doctrines of Salvation, 1:61, 65-66 states?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

[DefendingMormonism]

Do non-Mormons and bitter ex-Mormons still erroneously believe the false assertion that active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are racist?

Likewise, do people like you believe that the members of the Southern Baptist Church, many of whom are black, are all racist?

(The Southern Baptist Convention was established so that the members could continue to practice slavery in the south.)

Silly buzz phrases that lack substance only make your opinion appear uneducated.

[RexFordVII]

Southern Baptist holy scripture doesn't assert that blacks a cursed with dark skin because they were the devil's minions.

That's what's written in your religion, so you can either say that your religion is wrong, your holy books fallible, and not the product of divine inspiration and instead penned from a mortal man's imagination, or you can agree with it and be an ignorant racist.

[DefendingMormonism]

Wrong again.

The Lamanites, a civilization that existed in the Americas centuries ago, were cursed with darker skin to set them apart from the Nephites.

The Lamanites were not black, as in, African-American. Please correct your erroneous way of thinking.

Mormons absolutely love blacks. You can go ask Gladys Knight, or any other African-American Latter-day Saint.

Likewise, obcure quotes from the 1800s are not part of Mormon theology and doctrine.

Agree with that or be an ignorant critic.

[RexFordVII]

I'll give you the fact that a religion as a whole cannot be held accountable for crazy things one member says.

Perhaps my knowledge of Mormonism is out of date, LDS has given up on the whole "Nephites were real" thing, right?

[Ilegalplayer]

MormonsLove Explain to every one here how this is the FULLNESS of Jesus Christ GOSPEL that we must learn it??

"..the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (2 Nephi 5:21)."And the skins of the Lamanites were DARK..which WAS A CURSE upon them..(Book of Mormon, Alma 3:6)

"..A BLACKNESS came upon all the children of Canaan..(Moses 7:8).""...for the seed of Cain were BLACK...(Moses 7:22)."being of the lineage by which he could not have the right of PRIESTHOOD,(Abraham 1:26-27)"

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

ilegalplayer:

I want you to know that God loves you and there is nothing you can say to change that.

[Ilegalplayer]

MormonsLoveFamilys your saying your MORMON GOD LOVES ME by CURSING ME WITH BLACK SKIN AND FROM HIS PRIESTHOOD?

"..the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (2 Nephi 5:21)."And the skins of the Lamanites were DARK..which WAS A CURSE upon them..(Book of Mormon, Alma 3:6)

"..A BLACKNESS came upon all the children of Canaan..(Moses 7:8).""...for the seed of Cain were BLACK...(Moses 7:22)."being of the lineage by which he could not have the right of PRIESTHOOD,(Abraham 1:26-27)"

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

ilegalplayer,

God still loves you.

[Ilegalplayer]

MormonsLove LDS MORMON APOSTLE MARK E. PETERSON SAID LAMANITES & NEGROES SAME CURSE BLACK SKIN "Who placed the Negroes originally in darkest Africa? Was it some man, or was it God? And when He placed them there, He segregated them....The Lord segregated the people ... At least in the cases of the LAMANITES and the NEGROES we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that He placed a dark skin upon them as a CURSE ... Race Problems--As They Affect The Church

by Mark E. Petersen 1954: Page 14

[Ilegalplayer]

MormonsLoveFamilies your MORMON SCRIPTURES PREACH the black skin was the curse read the BOOK OF Mormon scriptures close--->

". . .skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)."

"And the skins of the Lamanites were DARK,...which WAS A CURSE upon them...(Book of Mormon, Alma 3:6)."

"and the cursing which hath come upon their skins . . . (Book of Mormon, Jacob 3:5)."

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

ilegalplayer:

Even after those comments. God still loves you.

[Ilegalplayer]

MormonsLoveFamilies I know God loves me and you but the book of Mormon is not of Jesus Christ sorry

HOW THE BOOK OF MORMON WAS MADE->Joseph Smith would put the SEER STONE into a HAT,and put his face in the HAT,drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine.A piece of something resembling parchment would appear,and on that appeared the writing...Thus the Book of Mormon was translated...(LDS MORMON CHURCH MAGAZINE Ensign,Jul 1993,61)

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Ilegalplayer:

If you know God loves you. Please act like it.

God is love.

[nachivir]

Let me ask you one thing

In the old testamen the only family that had the right to possess the priesthood were the sons of Levi

Does the fact that the sons of Levi at that time were the only people that God allowed to have the priesthood means that God did not loved the other children of Israel as much as He loved the tribe of Levi?

[nachivir]

Dear Ilegalplayer:

In 1Corintians 6:9 says "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"

Those kind of people Can go to our Church but they Cannot be baptized and be members of our Church Until they have a True Repentance.

We are not racist or anti-gay or anything like that I hope that I have explained this part of our doctrine.

[chooechooe]

@MormonsLoveFamilies god doesnt love you mormons. mormons are the closest thing to satanists

[omiolo]

@chooechooe FAIL!!

[nachivir]

Does the fact that at the time the Church was organized white men where the only people that God allowed to have the priesthood means that God did not loved Black men as much as He loved White men?

the answer is NO I am black skinned and I have the Priesthood and even if God didn't allow me to have the priesthood I still would have been blessed by other people in my life and in the Church who have the priesthood

In 1 Corintians 12 Paul talk about the gifts of the Holy Ghost plz read it

[Stonedgamer87]

yea.. separatism, bigotry, delusions, and false hope are what family is all about...

The ridiculousness of mormon belief system can only be compaired to scientology.

A social cancer, comprised of desperate individuals looking for a way to feel special, a way to justifty impossing their opinions and "values" on to others.

(ex. Mormon families dumping their life savings into stopping gay marrage)

I know this comment won't last,Nor will you ever accept your not going to live forever

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Stonedgamer87:

I want you to know that you are loved by a Higher Being. This is God. He loves you.

[Stonedgamer87]

I know. I just hope "it" will forgive mormons, christians, jews, and muslims for their lying, bigotry, hatred, separatism, and judgment of other people.

WWJD? - I'm gonna bet its not split people into diffrent groups, stop life saving science, and stopping two people that love each other from having the same rights as everyone else.

If there is a god, He is really disapointed in ALL religions.

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Stonedgamer87:

God loves everyone. His love is unconditional. Please do not forget that.

[Stonedgamer87]

Theres a few exceptions tho right?

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Stonedgamer87:

God loves everyone. His love is unconditional. Please Please do not forget that.

[omiolo]

What think ye of Christ? (Matt. 22:42.) That question is as penetrating today as when Jesus used it to confound the Pharisees almost two thousand years ago. Like a sword, sharp and powerful, it uncovers what is hidden, divides truth from error, and goes to the heart of religious belief.

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Master8laster:

I want you to know that God loves you. Obviously I am going to have to remove your comment. This video is for families.

[omiolo]

"What think ye of Christ? (Matt. 22:42.)"

I think Christ is my Savior, God and Redeemer!

[ElderJoseph]

omiolo If Christ is your God, who is Elohim?

[omiolo]

EJ,

I figured this is another one of your I think I have you questions. But I will bite because I love the scriptures associated with it.

[omiolo]

"If Christ is your God, who is Elohim? "

When Christ who is Jesus was on the cross, He called out to His God and my God. He said

Mark 15:34

"And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "

or Psalms 22:1

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? "

[omiolo]

now the title and name Eloi is semetic and the plural of such is Elohim. the him ending making it plural. In the Torah in hebrew, the word God is Elohim.

With that said

Mosiah 15:4

"'And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. "

[omiolo]

to the ANTImormon EVANGELICALS this ticks them off. To the apostates this is confusing. To the lovers of God, this is a sweet and comforting doctrine.

[omiolo]

EJ,

lastly, notice how I used the LDS Holy Scriptures to explain LDS Doctrine?

Do you know why I did that?

Because that is where LDS Doctrine is contained! Amazing how that works!
