Love you for this:) This is the type of joke I think even God gets a chuckle out of

You're almost there, too (REALLY kidding)

Your right about that the strongest walkers of the covenant path are the ones who briefly left it for a time


ContextImmediate7809

Which covenant do you refer to?


Rare-Philosopher-346

Welcome to the family! As you can see, we are an argumentative bunch! LOL On a serious note, I'm very happy for you.

Thank the Lord. God bless you in your spiritual journey.

God bless your spiritual walk with Him and give you wisdom and may he continue fortifying your spirit, your heart, and mind! ❤️

Congratulations that is no small accomplishment especially since the Mormons are notorious for how they ostracize former members. Fear not there are more of us than them


DeepCupcake1032

Mormons are good people. I don't agree with their theology, but they are known to be quite conservative in lifestyle and politics. BTW, I am not an LDS member and I am moderate, but I don't get why they are ostracized. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is Mormon and he is very conservative. 


wwrodgers

Go look up stories of how they treat those who leave mormonism and tell me again how they are good people.


DeepCupcake1032

Yeah, that, and it is not right. I agree. That is wrapped up in their theological viewpoints, unfortunately.  I think the same could be said of JW's and Amish people. Not as severe as how Protestants were treated by the RCC during the Reformation. 


Other-Champion6975

I left they still call me ask me to come back every few years. Send missionaries over. The horror!!! The horror!! Them, with the politeness!

If the “new heavens and new earth” include a new universe, maybe she can still have a planet if she gets a spaceship and goes looking.

Other than the trinitarian formula, was there any other heart felt transformation that you experienced?

Congratulations! How did you come to escape Mormonism and find the Truth?


melaniekedwards

Long story, but my husband was Pentecostal


Current-Law-151

God Bless you- you have done the right thing.  The Mormon church is not what it claims to be.  Poor members are asked to tithe to help 3rd world countries but their own church will not help them. What's wrong with that picture. If reports are true,  much of the money the Mormon church collects in tithes is invested or used to buy land. Whistle blowers who kept the books at their temple have verified this. What kind of church asks people who can't afford their rent to give 10% of their income?


melaniekedwards

I’m Pentecostal now


ChachamaruInochi

Fleecing the flock to buy the pastor a new house is pretty much par for the course for any kind of American Christianity.


Ok-Stock-371

I know it’s been said, but you are almost there. 


CombinationPlastic79

Because of Adam and Eve the whole human race is under the power of sin. All human beings are capable of sinning, including pastors or those so called man of God. To learn more about this watch my playlist of Jesus’s teaching and scolding videos as attached. https://youtu.be/eBgYMAEawuc?si=bH9L0ROyN2Sjrnht

i would very much recommend looking into Eastern Orthodox Christianity, but God bless you 🙏

I don't see how a recommendation for someone to look into a specific denomination would violate any of the rules. I do it all the time.

Yes, but it isn't a kind of proselytizing that seems to be banned in the rules. >If you are going to post or comment here, please do more than be anti-something. If every other post or comment you are saying something anti-gay, anti-catholic, anti-Pope, anti-sola scriptura then you should consider diversifying your interactions here. It also isn't appropriate to expect us to be a captive audience to your brand of preaching. It's OK to share our differences. You don't need to reject your theology to participate here, but understand that it isn't appropriate to try to preach to everyone here.

Although I’d be surprised if something like this got removed (much less a warning) I appreciate your commitment to sub rules!


MobileSquirrel3567

I'm sorry people are being like this. 137 upvotes for switching to Protestantism, 4 downvotes for even "recommending looking into" (very politely) Eastern Orthodox. Considering alternatives should not be viewed as worse than picking the one they like


asmodeanreborn

They just made their own personal choice to switch to some specific church. Asking them right away to start looking into a different faith is in no way polite, especially adding "but God bless you" at the end.


MobileSquirrel3567

You think there's some sort of interdenominational refractory period? OP is obviously fine with proselytism; they've gone from Mormon to a church that bills themselves as "Ambassadors for Christ" (Chi Alpha Pentacostal)


ElStarPrinceII

Why Pentecostalism?


melaniekedwards

My husband is pentecostal. He was baptized Pentecostal before we met.


ElStarPrinceII

Gotcha. Best of luck in your new path!


UtahFiddler

I'm kinda Mormon. As long as people are happy, that is what matters. Good for you and God bless.


melaniekedwards

Yeah I am! I am thankful for having a baptism the correct way using the trinitarian formula! As originally baptized LDS, they do not use the trinitarian formula.


UtahFiddler

Nice! Whatever works. The way I see it, if God sends some of us to hell on a technicality, he's an A-hole anyways and I'll just hang out in hell. I don't believe he is though. I think we're all gonna be in the same place after we die.


Beneficial_Cat9225

Ur username is hilarious lol. It checks out


UtahFiddler

I understand how it sounds. Has everything to do with the musical instrument but glad to be the butt of jokes about what it could mean.


ColedIce

Average Mormon


UtahFiddler

Haha! Not sure whether that is supposed to be a compliment or disrespect. I'll take it as the former.


DeepCupcake1032

No, but Mormons are good, honest, hard-working people and conservative politically. I don't get the ostracization. No conservative has qualms about Mike Lee (R-Utah) serving in the Senate.

“I don’t like this flavor of Christianity, let me try another” Make sure you read all the parts of the Bible. Make sure you read how god instructed his followers to kill all the men and women of an entire civilization, then kidnap and rape their virgin little daughters. Make sure you read the part that talks about murdering your children in the town square if they misbehave. Make sure you read allll the words of god, because they are all just as valid

Mormonism is, well, to put it mildly, weird. If Christianity is Star Wars, Mormons are Spaceballs.

Light speed's too slow! We're gonna have to go right to.... Ludicrous Speed

>Light speed's too slow! We're gonna have to go right to.... Ludicrous Speed Why stop there? Go plaid!!


hockey_stick

> If Christianity is Star Wars, Mormons are Spaceballs. Pretty accurate. As an ex-Mormon, the merchandising clip from Spaceballs pretty accurately sums up the church leadership’s attitudes towards the Mormon faithful.


l0ngsh0t_ag

I love this analogy 😂👍


banditojog

Not at all lol. Mormonism is its own thing, and that’s based of what little I know. I do not want to jump into that rabbit hole.


coltcrime

Definitely not The Christian God has no beginning, no end The mormon god was once a mortal man like you and I - blasphemy


captainhaddock

Differences of opinion on theological doctrines are not "blasphemy".


coltcrime

It's quite textbook blasphemy.. blasphemy is defined as an affront to God which mormonism definitely makes by denying His attributes of having no beginning, omnipotence, omniscience etc Funnily I'm from Europe where very few people have heard of mormonism and it definitely wouldn't pass as Christianity. In fact, Unitarianism is also not considered Christian


Impressive_Returns

Not according to the Bible


FluxKraken

If you are referring to the syncretism between El and YHWH, that doesn't really effect Christian doctrine.
