You have to watch out for Mormons. Their beliefs are scary!
They believe in being honest!
They believe in strong families!
They believe that families can be together forever!
They don't believe babies need to be baptized, because babies can't sin!
They believe that if a child dies it is not going to hell. It returns to live with God.
They believe parents should be strong examples for their children and that they should be teaching their children to be good people and good citizens.
They believe in Jesus Christ.
They believe in a loving Heavenly Father who loves everyone and wants us to return to live with him.
They believe you can't be saved just by saying something. They believe that you have to believe and do something about your beliefs.
They believe in faith, baptism, and keeping the commandments
They believe that a person must have God's authority before being to perform ordinances like baptism. They don't believe that you get that authority from a university or school that never had the authority.
They believe that God didn't quit speaking to us through a prophet. They believe there is a living prophet.
They believe that if you are lonely, looking for meaning in life, wondering why you are even here on this earth, that there are answers to all life's most important questions.
You can find out about some of those questions at mormon.org
I'm one of the weird Mormons to be suspicious of. I believe with all my heart. You can believe too, and find happiness like you've never had.

Trinity - Do Mormons Believe 3 in 1?
Do we believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost?
Absolutely!
Do we believe that they are one glommed together person?
Absolutely not.
Why would God be so different than those He created in his image?
We aren't glommed together as multiple individuals. We are individuals.
God is our Heavenly Father, Jesus is our brother and the Holy Ghost is the one who helps us feel God's inspiration in our lives to help guide us to do right.
God is a person. He is our God, but he is a person with a body. Why is that so hard for some to believe.
I know that many teach that he is unreachable, unknowable, unfathomable, and absolutely beyond our ability to understand.
He is our Father. He is our God. He loves us.
He wants what is best for us.
He doesn't want our fear, he wants us to love Him, as He loves us.
He is there, He will listen, He does listen.
He is not a they, a them. He is God. Jesus is His Son. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit without a body.
He has restored the truth to the earth. Find out more. mormon.org

I, a Mormon, believe in Jesus Christ!
People say Mormons are not Christians.
Those people don't know what they are talking about.
They say Mormons don't believe in the same Jesus they believe in.
What do they believe in?
A Jesus who, along with the Holy Ghost, is crammed together in one person with God.
A Jesus who was crucified so all you have to do is say you accept him as your Savior and you are taken care of.
A Jesus who didn't think you need to do anything else in life, just accept him.
Is that what I believe?
No. I believe in a Jesus who is the Son of his father, God.
Who prayed to his Father.
Who, when Jesus was baptized, had God, his Father, say, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." What person talks about himself as his own son?
Who prayed in to His Father, God, Gethsemane asking God if it were possible that the cup pass from him.
Who, while on the cross commended his spirit into God's hands.
Who was seen by Stephen, when he was being stoned, "on the right hand of God." People really believe he was standing beside himself? Not me.
I believe in a Jesus who was the begotten Son of God. God in heaven and Jesus on earth.
I believe that he was in the temple, talking to the learned men, and told Mary he was about "my Father's business." Not his own business.
I believe in a Christ that healed the sick, the blind, and brought back the dead.
I believe in a Christ who said that he came to take upon him the sins of the world.
I believe in a Christ who said that the sinners won't suffer if we will repent, but if they do not repent they must suffer "even as I."
I believe in a Christ who saved the world from sin, but did not believe that all you need to do in this life is say you accept him as your savior and you are saved regardless of what you do.
I believe in a Christ who believed that we must follow him, keep the commandments and always remember him.
I believe in a Christ who, with his Father, God, helped us come to earth so we could make our own decisions about whether we would follow him. God loved us enough to let us decide on our own instead of forcing every person to return to him.
I believe in a Christ who was crucified for the world, to save us all from death and our sins.
I believe in a Christ who was resurrected and because of his resurrection we will all be resurrected regardless of sin or not. Everyone will be resurrected. Not everyone will return to live with God.
I believe in a Christ who knew that there would be an apostasy after his death and a falling away and a loss of the truth of the gospel.
I believe in a Christ, who in the early 1800's restored the complete truth to the earth along with his Church with apostles and a prophet. That prophet was Joseph Smith.
I believe in a Christ who still guides that church today through a living prophet.
That church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It is His Church. It was restored for the world. It was restored for you.

Can you get God's Authority from a College / University?
This is an interesting question.
The answer is no.
Can an organization that never had God's authority to train his ministers give authority from God to the people they train?
No
The only way to get God's authority is from God or Christ.
Since most people think God stopped talking to anyone after Christ was crucified and all those that Christ gave authority died off before any churches really started, NO ONE had authority to start a church. And, because they didn't have authority to start a church, they certainly didn't have authority to perform baptisms or any other ordinances.
There was an apostacy, or falling away where God's authority was lost and was lost for 1800+ years.
In the early 1820's God and Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith, who had prayed to discover which church he should join.
He was told to join none of them because the true church wasn't on the earth. They said that all the churches were filled with the teachings of men mingled with scripture.
They also told him that through Joseph, they would restore the truth and God's authority to the earth.
They did. It is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has God's authority directly from God and Jesus. It has the authority to perform baptisms and other ordinances necessary for our salvation.

Church in Favor of California Prop 8? Oh No!
The Church is “Accused” of being in Favor of California Proposition 8 which is against same-sex marriage!
Duh!
Those who are gay or lesbian and their friends and families are aghast that the Church would tiptoe across the borders from Utah and try to influence something in California that is none of Utah’s business.
They think that a church’s beliefs are supposed to stop at a border? So, what about the million or so members of the Church in California? Is the Church supposed to have commandments that are followed differently in California than in the rest of the world?
We follow Christ’s teachings about going out to all the world to spread his word. That really does mean don’t stop at political borders or country borders. Go to All the world and teach all the commandments, not just the ones that are politically pleasing.
People talk about gay marriage as a civil rights issue. Go ahead and try and convince yourself of that. What about marriage between brother and sister? Between a parent and a child? Between a grandparent and a child? Aren’t they just as much that civil rights problem? Where does it stop? What about marriage between a 40 year old man and a 10 year old girl? Got a problem yet? Isn’t that a civil rights issue?
Does the Church teach that sex between members of the same sex is wrong?
Yes.
What about abortion. Does the Church teach that it is a sin?
Yes.
What about drinking and smoking? Is that wrong?
Yes. Through revelation 175 years ago, the Lord revealed that those substances are harmful and should not be used. It took just about 150 years for the medical science to catch up and realize the same thing.
Does the Church teach honesty?
Yes. Should it keep that belief within the borders of Utah?
What about baptism for the remission of sins?
Yep, it teaches that. Should that be kept within Utah, or even just Salt Lake City? I don't think so.
What about loving all people? Isn’t the Church teaching hate by supporting the ban on gay marriage?
The Church teaches what the Lord has said to teach. It teaches against sin of all types. Sex between members of the same sex is a sin. Period. However, the Lord, and his Church, teach to love all, but you don't love the sin.
The Church also teaches other things about sex are wrong, such as sex between any two people who are not married, sex between a married person and someone who is not their spouse. Even, surprise, touching another person in a sexual way is considered wrong if that person is not your spouse.
People doing the complaining are okay about the Church going beyond Utah’s borders to help those in need physically, but not okay when the Church is trying to help people spiritually.
It's funny that they complain that the Church was involved, but they don't talk about anyone on the side supporting their side. Hmmmm. Wonder why they don't let all the information come to light.
We believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the church Jesus Christ began when he was on the earth. We believe the truth and his authority was lost after he and the apostles were killed. It had to be restored. It has been and his commandments now are just as important as they were when he gave them.
Civil rights issue? Nope. It’s a moral issue, or maybe just an immoral one.
Duh!
