Do you think Mormon is the most pure in christianity?

Um no I think quite the opposite, from what I know of Mormonism many of their beliefs go against the laws of the land and morality of the majority of people. Does the bible not say follow the laws or something of that nature. And would that not mean Mormons are breaking these same laws? Eg: marriage with one man and one woman. Mormons believe a man can marry more than one woman. But this is against the law in North America. I dont know very much of their beliefs as I am not interested in learning but what I have learned seems contrary to our civilzation.

I believe that the Mormon religion is just a man-made religion and has little to do with Christianity. Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life. Noone comes to the Father but through Me" Either Jesus is a lier or every other spiritual leader claiming equality with God's authority is false. The real issue is that you have to make a choice. It is not like an election where the majority decides the truth. You have to either choose to submit to the fact that you are a sinner without any chance of pleasing God and escaping the Hell we all deserve at conception and accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior or you take your chances with the millions of other options. I chose Jesus and my life has been so transformed in ways I couldn't even imagine that I recommend you bow now and accept Him, since noone knows the moment of final breath. If I am wrong, what have you lost? Any Bible has all the truth you need compared to one letter in the Mormon 'bible'.

The mormons follow a prophet who is not Jesus Christ. I do not think that they are true Christians for they follow the teachings of a man instead of Our Lord.

i knew a Mormon when I was younger, and I almost got in a lot of trouble cuz of that friendship. In fact, the only reason I escaped being charged with a crime was cuz the victim had previously spoken with me and had taken a liking towards me... He was the furthest thing from a spiritual person.

I would say that the claim is true however that is because I have found out for myself. I have read the book and and have had many spiritual experinces from reading it. I would suggest reading the Book of Mormon with an open mind and see if it does anything for you, pray about it ask God to help you understand if there is anything to it. But you said you didn't want to know in which case you won't, I just wanted to let you know you could know. When they say it is the pure and right one I don't think they mean to say all the other religions are wrong rather they have less truths and what I mean by truths are correct things that will help you get closer to God. There are lots of ways to grow spiritualy and the Mormon faith has lots of tools to help one grow Spiritually. Pretty much all religions if truly followed will help you grow spiritually, Mormons just claim they have a little more understanding to help one grow more.

I think that you will have a hard time proving that any religion is true. In fact, being murky and difficult to understand (meaning full of conflicting advice in significant areas) works in favor of religion because it allows individuals to interpret the writings in whatever way they feel is best. It's really impossible to answer your question:"which one is really pure?" becuase they'll all claim to be the most correct, most "pure". I think it's really good that you're investigating and learning about religions in general. May I suggest starting with the basic question of what evidence there is that a god or gods actually exist? If you can find the hard evidence of god's existence, you will likely be able to extrapolate the most pure religion.

There is good in any religion if only the people would practice their beliefs.

To be honest, though I know the basic history, founding, and some Mormons personally, I don't really know the religion in enough detail to make judgement that it is pure. I just know enough about it to know that it is not the way I want to worship or live.

I see several got off on a tangent and didn't really address the question posed... Opinion: Is the Mormon's claim true? If one does a bit of research about the beginnings of the Mormon church, they will find that Joesph Smith was considered a ne'er do well seeking ways to avoid work by the people of his time...his claim of an angel coming to him as a prophet was a bit timely considering his circumstances at that time... Mormonism is a fairly new religion when one considers the timelines of the other major religions of the world...Mormonism isn't quite Christainity, nor is it directly related to any other major religion, although it does take some aspects of each as it's own. When one considers the great numbers of 'books' that have been destroyed throughout history...the library of Alexandria burning, books burned during the Inquestion, the 'Brownshirts' burning books in Germany...just to name three events...one must come to the conclusion that much of the acumulated knowledge of the ages has been lost...'gospels', journals, records which would confirm or deny postulated positions...gone forever from our grasp. To assume any religion or sect has the whole truth is to assume the impossible is possible just because someone or a group wish it so. If one is interested in gaining knowledge about religion in general, they must read not only that which is held as sacrosant by each religion or sect, but also the history which surrounds it's beginnings and it's own history. Faith is to blindly believe...yet faith doesn't have to be. Faith can exist upon factual evidence put forth and assimulated into the whole. The wise subscribe to these words. Do not lead, I may not follow. Do not follow, I may not lead. If you seek, you may seek with me and together perhaps there shall be answers to questions yet unasked.

I believe that the Mormon faith was founded by a man named "smith" who had a "religious" experience and began a new following - I have looked at the book of Mormons, the history etc. and personally it is not the truth that I have discovered through my search and study of Christianity. When I was wandering and searching I had considered what the Mormon teach, but in the end I decided it wasn't what I think to be "truth" I have spoken with many students of the Mormon faith and one of their major beliefs, is that they believe they can become gods, (the men only) in an afterlife, they also have their own book like you have mentioned and is the product of the thoughts and teaching of John Smith, that he discerened over some plates he discovered, none of it may any sense to me, so I moved on and found where I am comfortable in Christ and the beliefs I have and follow. -- SO that's my opinion, that there is no truth in the foundational belief of the mormom community -- Now I haven't meant to offend any one or to change anyones belief system -- I am expressing my opinion as the discussion requests :)

I don't believe that mormonism is the "true" religion, or the most pure. I think they are all debatable. No offense to Catholics, but I don't think they are as pure as it claims to be, either. Back to mormons, I do enjoy learning about new religions, and my husband has a friend that is Mormon, but I do not necessarily believe mormon teachings. Like, the spirits and all of that. I dont' think any of that is true, just as I don't believe in purgatory. But that's just me. As someone else said, it's all debatable.

whilst I know there are many great people who are mormons I do feel they are being missled by false doctrines !they promote the book of mormon whilst in the Bible we read notto add to the scripture (since i cannot cut and paste the passage i recomend you read Revelation 22:18 (note) your mormon friends will tell you this applies only to the book of revelation Not True!

I am a Christian, and I think the best suggestin I could give is to read the Bible for yourself. It will take time to understand some books, and you may need scholarly help in interpreting certain books or chapters. The early christians had used the Bible that normally christians use now...and if you to know pure christianity or original christianity, just take the Bible and read. And compare the things there and the things which many people might claim or say.

Mormons aren't Christians. They believe in more than one god and also they teach that Jesus is one of many gods. And they don't accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior so they can't be Christians.

no they don't

Dearest tambangmas, Hello. Dear friend, The bible says that Jesus is the only way to heaven, now i am not familiar with the mormon religion, but there are no religions in heaven, no divisions or separtations of any kind. If you accept Jesus into your heart and as your personal saviour he will forgive you of your sins and He will show you which way to go. He will show you where you need to be. The other day i briefly doubted my faith as I had some people tell me that my belief was wrong. That i am supposed to go to a priest and confess my sins to him.....well, as i prayed that night i asked God to show me whether i was wrong or not! well, next morning as i was going to open my bible, I was spiritually lead to read 1John 3:19-24. This put peace in my heart. Ask God...He'll show you! Ps...Keep reading into chapter 4.

Hmm hard question i must say - they live with the rights they say are given by god by i think that in their society as in other societies there are better and worse kinds of behaviour and religion. For me chrisitnaity is not the condition you live in but it's the way of living. To by a pure christian you have to make your own conduct based on the bible and use it in your everyday behaviour. And there should be no exceptions from this rule at all. SO looking from this way it doesnt metter do you use new technology or not you should always obey the rules gave you.

I just think they are a little strange. Like you cannot attend there wedding unless you are that religion or belong to there church. So that means if your immediate family is not mormon, they can't go. I think that is just wrong.

i don't think mormon is the most pure in christianity.the most purest is the roman catholic because before the reformation there was the catholic and orthodox church.regarding mormons they are no crosses on their churches.

I had a good friend who was brought up mormon, but then denounced it on his own. he spent a long time researching and soul searching before coming to this decision. As I personally do not know much about this particular religion, I will not even try to give his reasonings, but there are mormon chat rooms out there where you can discuss more with them. As far as finding the true religion. It is impossible. There is no religion that can be PROVED true. them major basis of all religions is BELIEF. And if you believe enough, then it becomes true to you. It is impossible to disprove a religion of someone who truely believes, I would not even try.
