Most Christians consider the revelations and teachings of Joseph Smith, gross heresy as these add to Scripture new revelations. Most Christians accept that Biblical revelation from God ceased after John's visions and conversations with Jesus in the book of Revelations. Book of Mormon and other writings of Joseph Smith to be equal with Scriptures. Most Mormons accept the Book of Mormon and other of J. Smith's writings as equal, putting them on par with Scriptures.
Therefore, most Christians consider Mormonism a cult that deviates substantially from revealed Scriptural truth.
Personally, (and many people would say this) I have met many Mormons over my life and they are genuinely kind and lead godly lives. But they are deviant in their theology of God and Jesus Christ, so are quite deceived. They make great neighbors, but are not Christian brothers until God brings them to Scriptural knowledge of God and Jesus.
So when i read to today to fellow citizens with Saints meaning be friends with them and not become one. The reason why i asked because i am looking to get baptized and i have been studying and researching them but i only from there point or view. So Normans and. Saints are different or the same. I just want a relationship with God and not with all these titles
Destiny, I strongly suggest that you do not get baptized in the Mormon church or become a member of their cult. They can be very persuasive. Resist this and instead ask God to lead you to a bible-only believing church with beliefs and doctrines that are widely accepted as true (orthodox) by most Christians across the centuries. You can google this subject to find out what these long held beliefs are and how they align with Scripture. You can also talk with a Christian (not Mormon) pastor and ask questions about these matters but especially about what the gospel truly is and how one receives salvation.
It is well worth it to look into this. It will matter much to your relationship with God. Jesus said in Scripture that we are to worship God in spirit and in truth. So, learning the truth about God, Jesus, and salvation will help you rightly worship the True God of the Bible, not the one Mormons teach is true (though it is a false god they teach).
No this helps alot thank you much. And you are right . And i have a question what do you feel about the word priesthood? And the garden of Gethsemane? And about the power of the porphets and apostles had or left once they passed?
If these are to many questions i understand and i will ask a pastor that i know or can fine?
Destiny, Myself and others are happy to respond to your questions. If you can re-word these new ones, we can know more of what you want to find out.
The priesthood was instituted by God trough Moses in the wilderness journey to the promised land and continued among the Levites up to the destruction of the last temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
Paul tells us in Hebrews that Jesus is our High priest forever, like Melchizedek. ( Hebrews 7) So, since Jesus is our High Priest, there is no need for any other priest to mediate between God and man, because Jesus mediates (as the Levitical priests did) for the people before God.
As in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was in agony in His human nature over the what His divine nature knew was ahead for Him within the next days time. He knew He was going to suffer a horrible death and die. He also was feeling the weight of the sins of the world as they were being put upon Him even then. This was the beginning of His sufferings for us. But because Jesus was both God and man in one person, thought He asked the Father to remove the cup of suffering that was imminent, He chose the Father's will in both His divine and human nature.
As to, the prophets and apostles. Jesus was the last Prophet, the one promised in Moses' time. The apostles did prophesy, as did some in the early church times, as it was a gift of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church.
Before the apostles died, they had appointed elders and bishops in the churches by the laying on of hands and anointing them with oil. But there were not appointed any more apostles other than the 12 and Paul. An apostle is one who lived when Jesus lived on earth and knew Him personally as eyewitnesses to His life, death, and resurrection. They were called specifically and verbally by Jesus during His earthly life. Paul was an exception, as He encountered the resurrected Jesus at his conversion on the road to Damascus. Jesus appeared to Paul more times after that.
But today while i was sitting at my desk and i work mark757 and i don't didn't know why but i just wrote it. So i looked it up and i was shock about i saw. So maybe this could be my sign from god him self. But i was basically saying and what i read before was they lips speak of me but the hearts are not with me. But nevertheless they love me and worship me but they teach it and their own way.
