Actual LDS Christian clarifying here: Alcohol, coffee, tobacco, and tea (tea-plant tea) are the no-go's. Nothing wrong with soda from a doctrinal standpoint, though obviously it's not healthy for you. Being prepared from doctrinal standpoint: be a good steward of Earthly things. Like if...

I’d encourage you and anyone else to actually fact check (aka ask) what LDS Christians actually believe before condemning. I love Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, with my entire being. He is my King. The Truth.

Well, to go an explain beleifs: Jesus Christ is my King, Savior, and only Son of God. I owe Him everything. He pulled me out of the depths, saved my life, taught me what it is to love. I love Hom so much and devote very fiber to following Him. I am a Christian.

If you don’t want to hear from any person, you can use the “ignore” button. Instant fix.

Asking about beliefs is & always should be a personal question :) Have a great evening!

Binary is not how LDS Christians look at things. I celebrate your love of Christ, that core which makes a Christian a Christian. I also acknowledge other differences in beliefs between us. Both of those are important and I don't understand why would want me to downplay either fact.

Why must I look at things in binary? Take Catholic beliefs for example: It would be a great disservice for me to deny a Catholic's standing as a Christian-- obviously they love Christ. But I also can't say I agree with every Catholic doctrine or find the Catholic Church to be Christ's perfect...

Again: LDS Christians don’t think in this binary.

A binary answer doesn't apply here because LDS Christians instead think in good / better / best: Good = General good beliefs Better = generic Christian beliefs Best = LDS Christian beliefs

Can you help me understand what you are asking then, since I thought I addressed it.

Good = General good beliefs Better = generic Christian beliefs Best = LDS Christian beliefs

TLDR style answer: LDS Christins look at things in a good/better/best style. "Good" being folk whom generically believe in being honest, good, etc. "Better" being that + believing in Christ (aka being a Christian). Baptists, Catholics, Methodists, non-denominational, etc are obviously all...

Actual "Mormon" here. LDS Christian (nicknamed "Mormons") are JW are extremely different. LDS Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, Savior of the world. Salvation comes only via faith in Him. The Gospel is His joyous Good News. I follow His commandments because...

Again: I respectfully and passionately disagree.

Marriage is a big deal & very sacred for LDS Christians. There's two parts: - The normal secular side of things like marriage license, any cultural traditions, etc. - The religious side of things, wherein bride & groom join together with Christ, blessing the marriage to ideally last for...

@dev553344 I’m not going to downplay your experience or beliefs. They are also very different from my experiences and beliefs, including how I see the Bible teaching.

If your spouse wishes to divorce you, you need to acknowledge their choice in that regard & accept it-- that's the healthy and respectful thing to do for everyone. Don't try to abusively force them to stay against their wishes or use threats of Hellfire. If you want to consider yourself...

FYI: “Mormons” actually have nothing in common with JW. Example: Mormons (like myself) believe that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God and salvation comes through Him.

Sorry to hear about your mom, dementia is super rough. As to burial clothes: I’d suggest going with something your mom would wear if she wanted to look nice. If she’s a lady who thinks a skirt is nice, then go with that. Same with a shirt she’d like.

Same as the Bible: ask Him about it and look at His answers. Literally the same as the Bible.
