Mormonism, Homosexuality, Parenting Tips & More (Patreon Q&A)

[@nicolec4106]

Born and raised as a Mormon and stopped going to the church ever since I left to go to college (2017). When I was in high school “something” told me that I needed to seek another church. Long story short 6 years and baptized as a Christian later , god revealed to me his marvelous plan. That “something” was the Holy Spirit and it was a 6 year journey to get saved. God placed specific people in my life for this reason. My family is still Mormon, majority of my friends are Mormon I pray for them.

When we’re at a dinner table and a moment of awkward silence occurs, and he notices me itching to fill the void, he nudges me as if to gesture: it’s ok to let the moment breathe babe 😂😩😩

[@sarahzuniga2261]

I think silence can also be a trauma thing from childhood. I say this from personal experience because anytime my dad would be upset with me. He wouldn't talk to me. But when he talked to me he talked in great lengths and lectures. So I think that's why some people find silence hard because maybe that was a form of discipline or punishment.

[@kaye4099]

[@AllTheBeautyThings]

Same! I’m extremely sensitive and when I was a kid, I cried a lot or pouted. lol Now it’s rare that I cry because I was made to feel that I’m too emotional or sensitive. My husband accepts my feelings and emotions. So I can unravel in front of him and not feel crazy afterwards.

[@almmason7]

Same here, but I've learned I have the spiritual gift of empathy. I feel deeply for others can't even watch a commercial w/ out crying sometimes. But this gift isn't talked about much. It annoys people because I can always see others side to why they did something wrong and justify it. But the temptation is to not go through the right process of forgiveness to when someone hurts me. 😊

Im still a member of the Church please share more about your experience. This is my greatest struggle. I feel that LDS folks follow the same Christ as everyone else. I really want to know how I can see this differently (sincerely)

[@tarditjatji1428]

@@guitocivil4451 First I'd advice you to pray! Pray sincerely, forget everything the church has taught you and ask God to reveal to you the truth. Then read the bible Alone (dont read the BOM whilst you are on this quest), preferably do not read the one you get from the LDS. Begin by reading the book of John, then Mark and Exodus. There are many "foundational" truths that are different to LDS doctrine. Pay attention to God's form and how he interacts with Moses and all the other prophets, then compare that to Joseph Smiths "testimony" of how God appeared to him. Keeping in mind the scriptures that God is not a Man, that he should lie (Numbers 23:19) this scripture alone goes against Mormon Doctrine. I hope this gives you something to start with. Do your own research on the lives of the founders of the LDS church from outside sources, and ask yourself if these men's lives are like those that are in the bible who God interacted with. How many sources outside the LDS church can prove the locations, and decendents of the people the BOM speaks about? There is so much to unravel if you give yourself the right mind to do it. Why doesnt the LDS church encourage independent research? GALATIANS 1:8 says: But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. So the Angel Moroni who preached a different gospel than that of the bible is cursed according to Galations 8:1 @@guitocivil4451

[@lopeztheheavy1569]

Love the discussion here on Mormonism. As a former Mormon myself, I think it’s really important to help Christians understand what Mormons believe so that we can better evangelize to them. I have to say that the Mormon you had that conversation with, Preston, gave you some misinformation-likely not intentionally. Most Mormons don’t know their own doctrine or history very well. Myth, folklore, and personal interpretation pervade the LDS community. I learned this first hand on my Mormon mission. Mormon missionaries aren’t just tasked with converting people to Mormonism. They also teach fellow Mormons in the congregation that they’re assigned to. There’s 2 reasons why this is done: 1. to help reactivate less active members of the congregation; 2. to ensure that all members of the congregation understand the fundamentals of the Mormon doctrine. However, in each case, it’s done under the guise that the missionaries are practicing for when they teach non-Mormons. Missionaries go through rigorous training on Mormon doctrine and continue their studies daily-they’re up to snuff on their doctrine. Throughout my mission, I found that many actively practicing Mormons did not know the basics of their doctrine. From what I’ve observed, this is likely due to many hearing the information a handful of times throughout their life, misremembering, not studying their materials critically, and coming to their own conclusions and interpretations. It also doesn’t help that LDS leaders themselves have their own interpretations and doctrines and will disagree with one another. “Today’s revelation is tomorrow’s heresy,” a phrase that is common from ex-Mormons who have observed this fracture in LDS leadership. That being said, I’d like to correct the info that Mormon on the plane gave you. A summary of the misinformation: - The Book of Mormon (BoM) was not translated in a day - The BoM was not claimed to be written by an angel - The reason why Mormons see the BoM as necessary - Why Mormons believe God’s church was lost and needed restoring In going over this, I hope it helps you understand Mormonism better and how to speak God’s word to what Mormons believe. Let’s start with Joseph Smith. Joseph grew up during the second great awakening of Protestantism. It was a period of religious zeal, conversions in the hundreds, and tensions between different denominations. According to what the LDS church teaches, at age 14, Joseph was confused about which church to join. Following the admonition given in James 1:5-6, he went into the woods and asked God to know which church was ‘true’. He claims that God and Jesus appeared to him in a pillar of light to answer his prayer. They told him that none of the denominations were true, that they were an abomination to God, and to join none of them. Some time later, Joseph is visited several times by an angel named Moroni. Moroni told Joseph that there were gold plates buried nearby that contained ‘the fulness of the gospel’. Moroni told Joseph that at the right time, God would use Joseph to translate the plates so that the fulness of the gospel could be restored to the Earth. He then went on to quote several passages of the Bible (out of context) that foretold of this restoration. He also told Joseph that when he received the plates, he was not to show them to anyone. At 17, Moroni lead Joseph to where the gold plates were buried. Joseph retrieved them along with a device called the Urim and Thummim which would allow Joseph to translate the plates. The translation took 3 months. Joseph would sit on one side of a curtain with the plates and the Urim and Thummim and would read the translation aloud. On the other side of the curtain sat his scribe, Oliver Cowdery, who wrote down everything Joseph dictated. During these 3 months, Joseph ‘learned’ about priesthood authority, which is essentially the authority to represent God, act in his name, and lead and administrate his church. Joseph claims that John the Baptist, Peter, James, and John all appeared to him and Oliver. They passed the priesthood authority on to them both, after which Joseph and Oliver baptized each other. Mormons claim that there is an unbroken line of priesthood authority beginning with Adam, passed down to the 12 apostles, passed on to Joseph and Oliver, and passed down to present day Mormons. From here, Joseph had everything he needed to go and ‘restore’ God’s one, true church on Earth. He called 12 apostles to help him lead the church and they ratified him as the modern-day prophet and head of the church. You can read most of what I covered here on the LDS church’s website: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/js-h/1?lang=eng. This narrative can also be found in the 4th set of scripture Mormons believe in, which is called The Pearl of Great Price. Also, 11 others were allowed to see the gold plates before they were “taken up back to heaven”. There are 2 sets of testimonies from these witnesses in the beginning of each copy of the BoM, found here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/three?lang=eng and here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/eight?lang=eng. OK, let’s dig into some of the details I just covered. In order for there to be a ‘restoration’ of God’s church, there had to be a falling away. Joseph taught that once the last apostle of Christ died, the authority to lead God’s church was lost. He goes on to say that the Christians from then on had no authority to teach or lead and that their doctrines and interpretations were corrupt. They refer to the period between the last apostle of Christ and Joseph Smith as The Great Apostasy. Mormons also don’t grasp what’s taught in 1 Cor. 12:12-27 on the different parts of the church that make up the body of Christ. While Christian denominations can accept each other as valid members of the body due to shared core beliefs (the Trinity, the resurrection of Christ and salvation through him, the Bible being God’s word, etc), Mormons believe that a church must have the correct interpretation on all matters in order to be God’s church. Along with that, they believe in the concept of ‘continuing revelation’ wherein God continues to appoint officials on his behalf to reveal his truth and will to the world. Therefore, if that official is on the Earth, then those who follow that official are obeying the Lord. Additionally, Mormons see the Bible as insufficient to know all that God has for us to know. They believe that through its many interpretations over the centuries that the original meanings and truths were lost. This is part of the reason why they see need for the Book of Mormon which they refer to as Another Testament of Christ. The Book of Mormon is asserted to be the scriptures of ancient Israelites that crossed the Atlantic, settled Central and South America, and their history and interactions with God. The BoM is composed of entries from several different prophets from the time of the Tower of Babel, through roughly 400 AD. The second to last prophet in the BoM is named Mormon. He was instructed to compile all of the writings of the prophets before him onto a set of gold plates. This is where the BoM gets its name. Mormon’s son, Moroni (the same Moroni that visited Joseph), finished the compilation after Mormon died and then buried the plates where God instructed him to. You can read the LDS church’s official intro/summary of the BoM here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/introduction?lang=eng The LDS church asserts that the Book of Mormon is necessary for 2 reasons. 1. it gives a lens through which to properly interpret the Bible, thereby settling the debates between Christian denominations. 2. its authenticity proves that Joseph Smith is an actual prophet of God and further proof that God restored his church through Joseph. I hope this clarifies the details of the Mormon church’s history and what they believe. There’s much more that could be said: other beliefs that have come out of Mormonism, the actual events of what happened with Joseph Smith as opposed to the LDS’s official accounts, and the mountain of evidence that stands against the validity of both the BoM and Joseph Smith’s claim to be a prophet. I’ve been a Christian for 6 years now and explaining Mormonism to Christians is always an endeavor. Their theological language is similar to ours, there’s common misinformation about Mormons in the mainstream, and Mormons themselves are usually not reliable sources for explaining their own beliefs. I hope this has been helpful to you. If you have questions about what I’ve written here or other aspects of Mormonism, I’d be happy to continue a dialogue with y’all!

Thank you for been so honest about your kids good and not so great side of your kids. My Son is like your 3rd child, cries easily and all. I pray for him too and try to talk to him about not haveing to cry for lil things or things that are not worth crying for tho it's Okay to cry but not over everything. Thank you for this

[@jnr039]

Wow that was an amazing conversation. Thank you 🙏🏿

This was EXCELLENT. Thank you for your Ministry

[@rebeccaestrada4946]

Nephi is a person. The book of Mormon reads like the Bible in the sense that there is a time when Jesus isn't there, then he comes and preaches when he is crucified. The Saints from the LDS church go hard for Christ. I love them. They are some riteous people. So lovely.

[@lauratellez1520]

I'm literally crying at the end, so beautiful!!

[@msangieluzu]

[@Brandibell121]

You guys are preaching tuhday! This was so filled with wisdom.

[@DesireeStamat]

Mr. Hollands Opus was so good! The Beautiful Boy scenes made me cry.

Joseph Smith is as looney of a story to us (Christians) as Jesus Christ is looney to an Atheist! We must stay humble and realize that FAITH of any type is looney when confronted with intelligence! ☀️💚 Saying “The bible says ____” as the answer to questions or as a reference point ALWAYS requires FAITH!

[@jesusislord9707]

Difference is that Christianity is historically and protephitically true. It's based on evidence and not blind faith. True believers should always say what the bible says because God's words are true regardless if someone believes or not. God gives wisdom, any fool can be intelligent. There are millions of intelligent fools in hell and on their way to hell. Is there any other book that has higher authority than the bible?

[@ashleydanielson3222]

Atheism seems crazy to me. How do you believe everything came about without a creator?

[@marlenawills-solomon277]

Yes, Jackie other spirits write to as she said, love the Truth as Mrs.Perry said. Love The Perry's and your Love of JESUS!!!! So funny yet, inspired greatly through listening too, them, we have to pray to GOD and wait to hear from Him, knowing GOD for myself. ❤❤❤
