Knowing what we do about the Mormon faith, could they be considered as atheist, since they do not worship the God that Christians do?

Hi Max,
No, atheists will tell us they do not believe in God -- period. However, Dwight, aka Cobra, aka Windsong, is a Mormon who claims to believe in God -- but his god is not the same as the preexisting God of the Bible.

WINDBAG, you say: "I love the fact that my God says I can become just like Him."
That sounds strongly like classic Mormon doctrine, WINDBAG. "As man is, so God once was; as God is, so man may become." Straight-up Mormon heretical teaching about the alleged capability of a human being to progress to a status literally equal to that enjoyed by God Himself.
You gotta be a Mormon to believe that. They are the only heretics who have come up with that claptrap! Now we KNOW what you are, WINDBAG!! You can't hide behind that pretty little avatar face. Come on out, R O D O C K E R!!!!

I don't know why this throws you into fits Bill.
God created all of us and Jesus and Lucifer, so we are all 'spiritual brothers and sisters'.

No, salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone

Hi B,
Jesus Christ is NOT a created being. Jesus Christ is God, God the Son. Read John 1:1. He IS the preexisting God.
Satan/Lucifer is a created being; just as are all angels and mortals -- but, NOT Jesus Christ. I am surprised you do not know this.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

And here we go again. You know bill, atheists consider any church a cult church, and some of other religions consider all others wrong. But IF a person is a good person, what does it matter what they believe?

Hi Dwight,
The Mormons teach that salvation is through Joseph Smith:
"No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are" (Brigham Young, [i]"Journal of Discourses" - vol 7, page 289).
This is from one of the sacred books of your church, "Journal of Discourses."
Are you saying this is not true?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

The verse you quote says IN THE BEGINNING. It doesnt (sic) specify which beginning, the beginning of all exsistance (sic) or the beginning of the creation of this earth. The bible gives us an account of the creation of this earth and yes, in the beginning of this earth Jesus was there but it says nothing of Him being a prexistant (sic) God verses being a child of his father who was with Him in the beginning of the creation of this earth. You cant be making things up to suit you Bill.

You are sadly mistaken, the journal of discourses IS NOT a sacred book of the church. The only sacred books of the church are the Holy Scriptures. Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R McConkie is not a sacred book of the church either it is a book he wrote on his own based on his understanding. Those books are not church accepted scripture at all.Sorry

If Windsong and other Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, then that is all that matters. HOW they view Him is different from the way some other Christians view Him, but they believe He died for their sins, and that's OK by me.
There are a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses who come into my shop, and I have asked them if they believe Jesus died for their sins. Their answer was yes, so they are OK in my book too.
It is not up to ME to judge them, it is up to God. In the meantime, all I can do is worship Him in my own way, and love my fellow man as He wants us to.
As long as you don't turn your back on some of them.quote:Originally posted by bluetick:

You will only stay confused, and if you listen to all of them argue it seems their heaven will be empty and their hell will be full.quote:Originally posted by Jennifer:

Hi Dwight,
1. Who is the Jesus Christ in your church? Is He the preexisting God of John 1:1?
2. To the Mormons, who is God? Is He the preexisting God who created heaven and earth in Genesis 1:1 -- and is He preexisting or was He a man first?
3. Was Jesus Christ conceived through an actual physical sexual act -- or was He conceived by the Holy Spirit supernaturally fertilizing the seed in Mary's womb?
4. Can a Mormon man become a god, have his own goddess wives, his own planet -- and populate his own planet?
If you want us to believe your church is NOT a cult church; please answer these questions.
We can compare your answers to what is written in Mormon authorized books.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
