No 1
(Mormons)
This American religion was
founded by Joseph Smith who lived from 1805 to 1844 and is called the Prophet
because he claimed that he received revelation from God in the same way as the
Old and New Testament prophets did. He supposedly spoke to an angel called
Their doctrines are definitely
not Christian:
1) They do not believe in the
Trinity where God is three distinct persons in one; they believe in three
different Gods: a) God the Father b) Jesus Christ, His Son c) The Holy Spirit
2) They believe that God is in a
place called Kolob and that He is having spiritual children with His wives.
3) They believe that Lucifer and
Jesus were brothers and that they each had a plan of salvation for man; Jesus'
plan was accepted, Lucifer's was rejected; thus he was banished from heaven and
became Satan.
4) They believe that they must
have many children because where God is there are many spirits waiting for
human tabernacles. There any many more examples; the list is just too long.
When they come door to door, they
don't talk about these doctrines; they're reserved for long-time members.
However, when they do come to our
doors as missionaries, they are well-dressed, polite and very
understanding. They speak of a Book of
Mormon that contains their writings and say that the Bible is not complete with
out it because of the
revelation that their prophets received. That's very interesting because at the end of
the book of Revelation the Bible says in chapter 22 verse
18: "For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that
are written in this book".
