Mormonism Debunked. Mormons have the following core beliefs. God was not always always been the ultimate Being of the universe (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321) but achieved that status through righteous living and persistent effort (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345). They believe God a spirit has a “body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s” (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22). Brigham Young taught that Adam actually was God and the father of Jesus Christ—although this teaching has been abandoned by modern Mormon leaders. In contrast, Christians know this about God: there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6–8). He has always existed and will forever exist. (Deuteronomy …show more content…
to the Contrary The people who don’t chose christ are eternally damned.(Look at john chapter 3 verses 16-18.)Yet another core belief that is corruptedAnother mormon core belief is that there are different kingdoms in the afterlife: the celestial kingdom, the terrestrial kingdom, the telestial kingdom, and outer darkness (Mormon Doctrine, p. 348). Where mankind will end up depends on what they believe and do in this life (2 Nephi 25:23; Articles of Faith, p.79). Once again contrary to this belief the Bible tells us that after death we go to heaven or hell based on whether or not we had faith and accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. To be seperated from our bodies means, as believers, we are with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6–8). Unbelievers are sent to hell or the place of the dead (Luke 16:22)at the second coming of christ those that believe get an uncorrupted body (1 Corinthians 15:50–54). Heaven and earth will be recreated(Revelation 21:1), and the people that don’t believe will be thrown into an everlasting lake of fire(literally a giant volcano thing) (Revelation 20:11–15). We only have one chance at redemption (Hebrews 9:27). Mormon leaders teach that Jesus’ birth was the result of a sex between God and Mary (Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 115; Mormon …show more content…
We are only made holy and redeemed through him.(1 Corinthians 1:2). Jesus is the only begotten(physically born) Son of God (John 3:16), is the only one ever to have lived a sinless life, and now has the highest place of honor in heaven (Hebrews 7:26). Jesus and God are one in essence, Jesus being the only man who existed before physical birth (John 1:1–8; 8:56). Jesus gave Himself to us as a sacrifice, God raised Him from the dead, and one day everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:6–11). Jesus tells us it is impossible to get to heaven by our own works and that only by faith in Him is it possible (Matthew 19:26). We all deserve eternal punishment for our sins, but God's infinite love and grace have allowed us a way out. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).Obviously, there is only one way to receive salvation and that is to know God and His Son, Jesus (John 17:3). Receiving salvation is not done by works but by faith (Romans 1:17; 3:28). We can receive this gift no matter who we are or what we have done (Romans 3:22). “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts
