My Aunt and Uncle came just a week ago for a short visit. While they were in this part of the country, my Aunt noticed that there were no Mormon churches and thought that to be interesting. My husband said "Hey honey, we've found our niche!" LOL

In my book, if you don't even know who JESUS is, then the rest of whatever you believe must be hogwash.

LOL! unless you are pretty much in the club, you wont get one to tell you who Jesus is.

I have a Mormon friend that acually will discuss this stuff with me....but still he wont be forthright on the subject.

Jesus is the Son of God and the Brother of Lucifer. God the Father is a completly seperate being from Jesus. We are all Jesus's brothers.

So that makes Lucifer a son of God?? And we are ALL Jesus' brothers??? Does that mean that Jesus is not God? (I asked Marie that directly, because she had told me the same kind of stuff you just said. Her answer to me was that "Jesus was God, but not really God". huh???? That's double talk if I've ever heard it!!)

Like I said, so much of what she talked about was pure hogwash, it was ridiculous.

The other thing they believe is that they can be baptized "for" someone who has passed away and earn that person's way to heaven (or at least to a higher realm). I laughed when my dad told my cousin (who is Mormon), "If you are baptized in my place after I am dead, and then you feel yourself choking as you come up out of the water, that'll be ME! I'm coming back to get you so you can join me so I can whip your - well, let's not say what he was gonna whip". :killinme:killinme:killinme

Yes Lucifer just like you me and Jesus are sons (or in your case a daughter) of God.

Jesus is not the God of this world but you have to understand the goal of Mormonism to get it.

"As God is, so shall we be, As we are once God was"


that is mormonism summed up in a simple phrase. God the Father was once a person on some planet and He had a God. Then because he was a wonderful Mormon he got his own planet to work with. that is the goal of every Mormon. To get their own planet. As a mormon wife, your job would be to have celestial babies. Aint that special.

They also believe that everyone will eventually get to heaven. bad folk will go to the first level of heaven. good folk and not so good mormons will go to the second level of heaven. and good mormons will go to the third level of heaven. From there they get promoted to god status.

I think I have that right.

My oldest daughters' best friend in college (ASU) married and moved to VA due to her husbands job. They were young, didn't know anyone and were doing some sort of outdoor project....and some Mormons stopped by to assist.
This family ended up converting and are now mormons.
Yes, this is a clever method of getting people to talk to you. They came back to befriend them many times b4 they converted. When the relationship was just beginning they became so involved with this couple it eliminated other influences. Verry clever evangelizing!
