Who's question? And you didn't respond to the entire question of mine:

Since you were not quoting TRH, who were you quoting (usually quotation marks are used when quoting, if you were unaware of that fact) and why were you attacking the Catholic Church in the Mormon thread?

Also, you did quote me there, and did not cite myself, there is a reason for the [quote] tag, regardless of your decision to not, or ignorance as to how to, use it.

Marchello

lets start with authority.........I never said anything about authority so I am confused there. 2,its hard to tell what your saying because you don't use the quote system. 3,no I refuse to read it and that second post still applies to you and you still refuse to tell your denomination or answer a lot of people on this thread,so stop quoting random verses and such and begin seriously debating and if you are unable to do that then this is not the place for you so if that is the case please leave,your posts continue to be more and more random and chould be considered spam by Lil B(I will of course leave her job to her) but may i remind you spamming and bashing are against forum rules

This is off topic, but if he doesnt want to use quote tags, he doesn't have to.

No, Junior Moderator, he does need to use the quote function.

Some of the basic beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are:
[list][*]God is our Heavenly Father. He loves us and wants us to return to Him.
[*]Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is our Savior. He redeems us from death by providing the Resurrection. He saves us from sin as we repent.
[*]Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can return to live with God if we keep His commandments.
[*]The Holy Ghost helps us to recognize truth.
[*]The first principles and ordinances of the gospel are faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[*]The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth.
[*]The priesthood authority of God exists in His Church today, just as it did in the original Church.
[*]The Bible and the Book of Mormon are the word of God.
[*]God reveals His will to prophets today, just as He did anciently.
[*]Our life has a sacred purpose.
[*]Families can be together forever.
[*]Through serving others, we can experience joy and draw closer to God.[/list]

I agree with Adam, he needs to use the tags. One may want to go to the original comments to verify his quotes. One may want to read the surrounding posts of the original post to learn context of the quote used. The most irritating is when I am unable to discern who he is quoting. His posts if lengthy are confusing due to his disuse of the tag (And, for Marchello not Ricky, we all know the Bible states that God is not the author of confusion).

lil bitchiness -

Are Mormons exclusively in America, and does the Book of Mormon refer to other people as possible Mormons or is it just the group that already exist? (Utah was it?)

Is it ''convertable'' evangelical thing or....?

Are they branch of Christianity? Are they weird, and/or fundamentalists?

Mormonism is a branch of Christianity, founded in the US. I'd be surprized if they had a large contingency outside of the US.

They're not fundamentalist or wierd, but they are a far branch of Christianity...they reject the Trinity, accepts that Jesus was a man and not a god on earth, and they believe in the continuous revelation of God (modern day prophets).

Im still learning about the Mormon religion. My boyfriend is an ex Mormon .. he is from a big family.. a lot of his family does in fact live in Utah. Im not sure if they are only in the states.

***Mormonism is a distinctly American cult started by a murderer, pedophile, and thief Joseph Smith. They are NOT a Christian religion and believe that they will evolve into gods...beget more gods...have their own planet and a goddess wife and beget children who will become gods...gods all over the place. Too, they do NOT believe in Jesus Christ as do Christians...and consider Him as just another "god" among many gods.

I dont know about thier creeds, so I will keep my mouth shut. There are lots of questionable things that Jopseph Smiths said, wrote and did. For example he was Mason, and that he have 3 different written accounts of his first devine visit.

Backfire didn't start Mormonism.

No, he wasn't. He was a bad guy, but it's irresponisble to assume that the men who founded the other sects of christianity aren't guilty of the same, or couldn't be. Too bad we didn't have the term "pyramid scheme" before...it might have saved us all a lot of trouble.

actually, there are more LDS people living outside the US than inside. The greatest concentration of is in UT, although there is amost as high a percentage in some polynesian islands.

As for Joseph Smith...
a) Marchello has proved his ignorance about the church and founder multiple times, you can ignore him.
b) Joseph Smith was respected and liked by many notables of the day, including some who were not LDS. examples - Josiah Quincy, Alexander Doniphan, Stephen Doughlas (until he ran for pres anyway)
