What do Mormons believe in?
September 12, 2009 | 05:21:49
MORMONS believe in their own book of Mormon (which they believe was given by God to a prophet), some doctrines that are derived from the Bible, a few other books, and the teachings of their leaders.
Interestingly, they claim to believe in Christ as well as the book of Mormon as the word of God. What is disturbing, however, is that none of their beliefs reflects God’s Word.
For instance, they believe that we all are ‘elsewhere’ before we are born and that we go ‘somewhere’ other than heaven or hell when we die. But what does the Bible say?
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36).
For unbelievers, life after death is eternity in the lake of fire. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die...” (John 11:25-26).
Mormons & polygamy
The history of Mormon polygamy begins with belief that Mormonism founder Joseph Smith received a revelation from God on July 17, 1831 that some Mormon men would be allowed to practice ‘plural marriage’.
This was later set down in the Doctrine and Covenants by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). When a large number of its members objected to it, some splinter groups left the Mormon church to practice polygamy.
Polygamist Mormon churches in the US are referred to as ‘Mormon fundamentalist.’
