Through Jesus’s death and atonement on the cross we can be forgiven and be covered by His blood. This is open to anybody who would receive Him as Lord.
In Mormonism, they believe that a portion of God’s truths are in various religions. How the one true God gave them a portion of His light.
Mormon Teachings are in opposition with the Bible Teachings. This is obvious when we see the teachings side by side.
The Father is Spirit, not a body with a Spirit. A Spirit has no flesh and bones and we are to worship Him in spirit and truth.
Colossians 2:13 (KJV)
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
Why is it that Mormons are so hard to talk to when we only want to share the truth of the Bible with them?
Our Lord Jesus helps us know that the Father is spirit and those who worship Him also worship Him in spirit and truth.
Mormonism differs with Christianity in so many ways. They even disagree with core Christian doctrines.
Colossians 2:6-8 (KJV)
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Mormons are putting on their god hats when entering their temples and doing work for dead people.
Colossians 3:5,6 (KJV)
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
The fear of God is missing in people’s hearts. Therefore, they often say they are saved without any desire to live for Jesus.
Mormon missionaries need to stop what they are doing and go home from their mission. What they are doing is not doing God a favor.
Colossians 1:16,17 (KJV)
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
The gospel message is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and then rose from the grave. It does not include Gethsemene.
It takes three to have a good marriage and to have children raised up correctly. Marriages crumble and fall because the key person, being God, is missing with both, or one of the spouses. Paul taught, “wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.” (Colossians 3:18,19) A divided household, when it comes to a person’s disbelief, causes many unnecessary arguments and contention. Even kids are affected in a very bad way. In this situation, children are not raised in the Lord most times. Children have to make a choice in what to believe in and how to live their lives, since their parents were not inline in how they were raised. So if their mother hardly ever prays or reads the Bible, their children most likely won’t also. If she listens to or watches worldly things, her children will most likely do the same. Even if the dad prays often, reads the Bible daily, and watches and listens to faith-inspired content and music, the same kids may begin to dislike or hate the same things. The result is them telling their father to be quiet and use his headphones.
Paul taught, “be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14) So what happens to children that are part of a divided family? As they move out of the house, going to church will not be a priority. What they watch and listen to will be worldly. So can marriages last like this? Unfortunately, most of them don’t. They can continue for a very long time, but without God guiding them both the constant arguing will most likely cause the marriage to end in a divorce. So the cure for any marriage is for the couple to come in unison with God. To teach things that come from the Lord. To listen to and watch things of God on a constant basis. To go to church each week together as a family. Then, the same children will choose to also raise their children in the same way. All children may not turn out this way but if the majority does, then praise God. Therefore, only with God leading the marriage is the way to have a healthy marriage, and have children raised up in the Lord also. Amen.
What does the Bible teach about the cross? That Jesus died for our sins once and for all. No more sin offerings would be necessary.
Colossians 2:8,9 (KJV)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
The Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit are one. This is not one in purpose, but one God. There is only one God.
Colossians 1:12-15 (KJV)
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
God the Father is a Spirit only according to the Bible. As a spirit, we are to worship Him in spirit and truth.
It is important to know the truths of the gospel message in order to not believe in a false gospel unknowingly.
Jesus is the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world. He is this voluntarily for us on the cross.
We are not to judge what people eat as Christians. There are reasons why people have decided to eat and not eat something.
We are not to judge anyone who honors and obeys the Sabbath day. This is judging wrongfully, which God hates.
God spoke and we should listen up. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land.
God’s Word declares that Jesus is so wonderful, our counselor, mighty God, the everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.
Colossians 1:12-17 (KJV)
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Jesus is the creator of all things heaven and earth. That makes him our Lord and our God and not our brother.
Remember God and His great mercy for your life. Give Him thanks and praise this day in prayer and supplications.
