How Mormonism Shaped My View of God-and How Grace Transformed It

[@amandaterry4381]

Its such a different experience when you are assured of your salvation and you see your soul naked for what it is and know that only a fullness of grace could pay for my sin. To know i dont carry that burden. I now work feverishly to share this same goodness with others and so many that I love.

I can relate a lot to this! I’m happy you found your way out of Mormonism. Stay close to our Lord and read His word every day. The relationship we desire gets even better when we can drop our walls. (It takes practice)

The Book of Mormon is true, and another witness of the same gospel of Jesus Christ as the Bible. Joseph Smith was a true prophet who worshipped Jesus Christ. The church was infiltrated by wicked men. When Joseph Smith was murdered, Brigham Young usurped control of the church and led some of the saints to SLC, Utah (many refused to follow him). Brigham Young introduced many false doctrines into that denomination including polygamy, men becoming Gods, Adam God, blood atonement of men, penal oath temple rituals, a Heavenly Mother, Lucifer being Jesus' brother, incorrect definition of Christ’s church, etc. None of that is in the Book of Mormon or teachings of Joseph Smith, but Brigham Young and the wicked leaders under and after him have pretended that it came from Joseph Smith in order to gain acceptance for their own evil and lustful desires. The LDS church of today is Brigham Young's denomination and is apostate from the teachings of the church under Joseph Smith.

There is no other book than the Bible period!!!!

[@joesimpson9230]

@@kathrynminty6029 The Bible does not mention the word "Bible" nor does it pretend that God's words would be limited to just 66 scrolls of scripture. The earlier Ethiopian Christian Bible has 89 books...and that was compiled based on what was available to them 1800 years ago. Jesus Christ was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and that certainly included the lost sheep of the 10 lost tribes of Israel scattered across the earth. They too heard His voice. John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. 2Esdras 13:40-45 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land. But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river. For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.

@@joesimpson9230 Why then does LDS teaching contradict the teachings of Jesus in the Bible so dramatically?

[@joesimpson9230]

@@AgentNotAgency Because Brigham Young and his gang were of a secret combination and those leading the LDS today are of a secret combination. Societies prophesied of in the Book of Mormon by Moroni. Their falsehoods don't take away from the Book of Mormon being scripture and Joseph Smith being a true prophet of Jesus Christ. Similar to why Catholic teachings contradict the Bible and Jesus so much...and also many other denominations.
