Mormons and the Cross

submitted by VitaminSieg to AskUpgoat 5 monthsNov 30, 2023 13:13:48 ago (+5/-1)     (AskUpgoat)

There's a Mormon church(?) near my house and I just noticed there's no cross anywhere to be seen. Don't Mormons believe in Christ? I know Muslims count Jesus as a prophet, but I'm not surprised they don't incorporate the cross in to their iconography. I thought Jesus was more fundamental to Mormons. They seem closer to Scientology or Masons than anything else, in organisation at least. Also, there's never anyone there, apart from the groundskeeper, and yet it's a massive building on a huge chunk of land. Wtf are Mormons anyway?

Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians. Both have rewritten the Bible and have added their own books and changed core beliefs. Most Christian churches won't recognize a baptism or marriage from either group.
Mormons believe in many gods, and don't acknowledge the Holy Trinity. Jesus is just one of their gods, among others.

Don't be retarded.

They believe in the New Testament and their first article of faith is "We believe in God, the Father, his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy GHost and they believe Jesus is the key to salvation for mankind.

Sure, the details may be different, but you'd have to be an absolute asshat to say Mormons aren't Christian.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is God's "only-begotten Son", and that his life began in heaven. He is described as God's first creation and the "exact representation of God", but is believed to be a separate entity and not part of a Trinity.

So, again, it may not be YOUR INTERPRETATION of Jesus or whatever, but since the religions are centered around "Jesus Christ" you'd have to be a Jew divider or the victim of Jewish division to believe they aren't Christian.

Stop rewriting the defintion of words, I guess, and you will be a lot smarter, next time.

Again it's bullshit. That link is a retard OPINION.

The FACT is they believe in Jesus Christ.

You are an absolute moron.

They claim to be Christian but they most certainly believe in more then one God. You can’t be a Christian and a polytheist

Mormons usually have some angel with a trumpet.

They're a fucked bunch - the history of how they ended up in Utah is interesting.

Kicked the fuck out of New York, then kicked out of Missouri.... hmm sounds like another group, except that group wears small hats.

Never do buisness with Mormons, they will find some way to fuck you over.

[ - ] bobdole9 4 points 5 monthsNov 30, 2023 14:28:44 ago (+4/-0)

Never trust anyone with magic underpants, they're fucked in the head.

They might be fucked in the head but the Mormon church (and many of their followers) are extremely wealthy.

Same can be said about the tinyhats.

There is reason people in the Rocky Mountain states call Mormons Mountain jews.

mormons are just kikes.

My buddy from Utah calls them mountain kikes.

Because Mormons are a cult and buisness and not a religion.

Married to an ex morman. The angel is called Moroni which points towards east or some shit. They think using the cross is an insult to Jesus since it’s what killed him or whatever. they claim to be a Christian denomination and from my time around her family I’ll tell you right now they are 100% not Christian, Elohim (God) lives on the planet kolab (or some shit) Jesus is a god and not a man and the Holy Spirit is a third god but also if your morman enough you’ll become a god of your own universe. None of them know shit about Joseph smith (the founder) nor do the majority of them actually go deep into the doctrine. My wife did dive deep and thus why she left years ago. Idolatry Blacky. pay it no mind

Back in the late 50s and early 60s the Mormons in Alberta offered geneology research for those who's ancestors and family immigrated from the Russian Empire in the mid to late 1800s and to those who fled the jewish BOLSHEVIK take over after WWI...the fucking morons stole those passports, my grandfather was one of those who got ripped...the fucking morons and the jews are the same bunch.

If the Sept. 11, 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre of about 140 California bound wagoneers by Mormons disguised as Indians had been prosecuted to its fullest potential there would be no Mormons today, since Brigham Young and the entire Mormon hierarchy would have been hanged!

Forty two white men were hanged at Gainesville, Texas in 1862 for failing to support the Confederacy, the same year thirty eight Santee Sioux were hanged in Minnesota after five American settlers were killed by Indians, whose case rested on their assertion the settlers had fired first.

Eighty five Irish traitors were justly hanged in New Mexico in 1846, they deserted General Taylor’s command and joined Santa Anna’s forces in Mexico, the deserters then crossed back into Texas and slew eleven of their former comrades from ambush on the northern bank of the Rio Grande.

Fifty four Mormons took part in the Mountain Meadows Massacre of whom thirty two were from England, Brigham Y was up to his neck in it all as well he received livestock and property looted from the wagons .. John D Lee Mormon Bishop and adopted son of BY was the single Mormon executed by firing squad in 1877.

Last Confession & Statement of John D Lee.

JD Lee was excommunicated for the crime, he was posthumously reinstated to full church membership on April 20, 1961 - "The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, decided authorization be given for the reinstatement to membership of John D. Lee." TIMH.

Brigham Young, "unless you repent at once of that unholy intention - to reveal the truth of the MMM - and keep the secret of all that you know, you will die a dog's death, be damned and go to Hell. Today in Mormon History.

Salt Lake City solved ts homeless problem by rounding 'em up and allegedly knocking around 22,000 of them off, FEMA genocide centers are said to be located at Provo Utah .. they are not averse to killing their own ppl, so it seems the rest of us would have little chance if they ever got the Soros financed upper hand, I call them "Followers of the False Prophet."

Sister of Jared.

The "Sister of Jared" shot, I have always found it suspicious that a photographer was on hand!

The cross is an idol and that would be idol worship.

Additionally, they believe that the life and words of Jesus should be at the forefront and not his Jewish orchestrated murder.

Mormons generally eschew symbology of certain types to avoid idol worship.
