Mormonism isn't Christianity

I am not out to slander Mormons, I have friends that are of this religion. Having said this, Christians believe that because Jesus Christ died for our sins, we shall receive the gift of eternal life in heaven if we accept him. Mormons do not believe this. Therefore, how do they call themselves Christians? You will find no crosses in Mormon temples, or churches. They do not believe the blood Jesus shed for all mankind is good enough for the redemption of man's sins. Mormon's believe that ...

Joseph Smith is a false prophet.

When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him," (Deut. 18:20-22). Being a Christian, this excerpt from the bible pretty much states my case in full. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism made MANY false prophecies. 1. Joseph Smith claimed that Jesus was to return 56 year's from the day of his prophecy. Yet, in 1891 the w...

Christian's believe Marriage is for earth, not heaven.

Jesus said, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures of the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry not be given in marriage; they will be like the angels of heaven. But about the resurrection of the dead- have you not read what God said to you, I am the God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Matthew22:29-33 Please explain to me now, how Mormon's believe you are married in heaven. Not onl...

gay marriage

hello candice well this should be fun, but a little hard if you debate this i thank you highly and hope the best debater wins Ok, so you say gay marriage is ok. 1) why 2) Give you definition of a gay marriage suitable besides two moms or two dads Now in this sense lets look at what a child would think if he had two dads or two moms. That is just sickening to think about. Now i will have to agree two girls seem really hot, but if you think about the long term of it what is the ...

Atheists are more kind than Christians.

"An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated." Madalyn Murray O'Hair All of this is true. How about instead of praying for the people in bad situations you go out and help them. Studies show that praying for someone does not help them. Out of almost 200 studies contucte...

You can't be a meat eating environmentalist.

If one believes that they are an environmentalist, then you really cant eat meat. According to the U.N., the livestock sector causes more pollution than the entire transportation sector and all other industrial sources combined. Animals raised for food, produce 5 times more excrement than the entire human population, 86,000 pounds per second. Their excrement produce sixty five percent of world wide nitrous oxide emissions. Nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent as a global warming gas...

Prostitution.

Prostitution should by all means be legal, affordable, and regulated by an independent agency. For 3 reasons. 1.Everyone wants sex, just like drugs, it's worth getting even if it's illegal. Convicting people won't stop them from desiring a basic instinct. 2.Tax it. It will help our economy. We need the income. 3.Regulating it will ensure the safety of women, and stop the spread of STDs. If you think the federal government has a reason to regulate our right to pay for something ...

About Me

"A democrat swimming in a sea of republicans! I'm just a fun loving mamma raising two babies and trying to keep my brain stimulated! My husband is a marine. I live on a marine base in California, and I am originally from Oklahoma. I like debating, and have no problem being friends with people who don't think exactly like me. I mean, I AM married to a republican! ;) You can find me on myspace under the display name I live on love street. It's set to private...just ask me to be your friend, and leave message who you are."

What I Believe

"I am a Christian. I believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and stand for the true preaching of the Gospel. I am an advocate for the Christian religion not being twisted, and manipulated. I believe Mormonism is not Christianity. If I turn anyone towards the true GIFT of salvation through the redemption given by Jesus Christ, I would LOVE to hear about it! Any Mormon reading this or my debates, please try to put the anger aside and really listen to what I'm telling you! Everything I say is true. If your religion is the way then you should be able to question it, right? Question it not for me, but for yourself. I pray God bless everyone to love, learn, and be open to everyone of the world."
