Why so many people decide to abandon LDS Chruch?

[Hammertimeguy]

We are good people and we served the Lord.

I also served a two year mission. I can't understand why people decided to leave the church?

We follow the rules and do what is good. So many members had left the churçh.

I may still hold the Aaronic Priesthood. I witness to Mormons and JH whenever I get the opportunity. Here are reasons; and I'm not going to say hateful things about your church.

*LDS does not consider Jesus Christ to be G0d incarnate. John 1:14 says He is.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
And 10:30 says Jesus IS G0d. I and the Father are One.
Jesus is NOT a "son of G0d" construct.

*The Book of Mormon holds that Jesus appeared to Native American tribes in America (Aztecs?) There is no archeological foundation for that or for the Nauvoo Plates.
*Joseph Smith claimed the Plates were written in Reformed Egyptian. There is no such thing.

*I was required to sit in the Bishop's office to go through Tithing Settlement. That did it. I was seated in a Methodist Church the following week.

*To be a faithful Christian, you MUST accept that Jesus is G0d incarnate. I understand the the Trinity is difficult to fathom. One Pastor told me to look at G0d like a strong 3-strand rope. It is the three strands that gives it strength. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And here is (the only) reference to the Trinity.
Matthew 28: 19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

*When I had two clean, well dressed Mormon missionaries at my home, I gave them non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic drinks. They came with the two volume set: Book of Mormon and the Doctrines and Covenants/Pearl of Great Price. They were NOT carrying the King James Bible because, they said, they were traveling light. That surprised and disappointed me.

*I listened patiently and politely through their presentation and then discussed the John and Matthew scriptural references. By the time I was finished, they were edging toward the door. And I said to them.

*You are both well dressed, well groomed young missionaries. But you must understand this. Unless you accept that Jesus was both fully Man and fully G0d, and if you die today, you will be all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Amen.

Matthew 28:19 that is technically the Godhead, not the trinity. Oh boy that is a subject in a half, lol.

The "trinity" is a catholic invented word that is not in any bible... 3 in 1 in 3

The godhead is them 3 being separate,

King James Version Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

So God is sending the holy ghost or holy spirit and Jesus is on the earth. So that shows that they are 3 separate beings in 3 separate areas at one time.

[sean1234]

"God" seems to be a title that Jesus also has.

[Dargil]

@sean1234 which means LDS is Pagan and not monotheistic?

[sean1234]

Beats me, I'm not a lds Mormon

[sean1234]

Funny how he commented to mine and not yours that was far more relevant 🤷🏻‍♂️

[docster]

I believe it was Jesus Himself who said to test the spirits to see if they are true ( compare to the Word of God ). The creator of the LDS church received his information from an 'angel' whose teachings violate the Bible. I have to be honest, that means it was a fallen angel (demon). "The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrine of demons." ( I Timothy 4:1 )

The Bible says that we are saved by believing Jesus is God ( the second part of the Trinity and the only God) and that He paid the full price for our sins on the cross. We can't earn it or pay Him back through good works or anything else. It's a gift.

The Roman Church gets it wrong also with their false gospel of works (penance).

I pray that you will also leave that church and find a Bible-believing one.

[Dargil]

Amen.

[HelpfulWoman]

if people are leaving your church. its time to actually look at your church and wait environment it provides. because people wouldn't leave if it was good.

[sean1234]

You follow the "incorrect" rules of your "false" church!

THAT is the truth.

Is it a coincidence that L. D. S. STANDS FOR...

Lucifer
Satan
Devil?

[sean1234]

Being "good" is one heck of a opinion.

TO call ones self "GOOD" is arrogant, because you just made a judgement upon yourself that you are perfect. To be good is to not be bad and have no sin.

God himself is Good only because he is not a sinner and never was, however, the rest of us are.

King James Version Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

[Hammertimeguy]

I went on a two year mission we are the best Christian domination.

Why the hate?

I don't drink acohol or used a profanity vocabulary.

I hold my temple recommendation.

I am not like you fake christians out there like you go out get drunk hitting the club like you do.

So following God's rules is arrogant to you?

What false church did you attended?

I like to get the missionaries to speak with you.

[sean1234]

What about Dargils comment?

Why do people like yourself not limited to LDS never answer the more relevant real questions?

I myself have heard the worst things about lds/Mormon church.

To be a Christian, you have to believe the 66books of the Bible is the word of God. The old testament which includes the Torah and Tanakh and the New Testament which is the completed work.

What is this book of Mormon?

Mormons don't even have good things to say about it...

Things like this is why the book of enoch was left out of the old testament in the bible, same with the Apocrypha.

I don’t know man, I really don’t know much about the LDS church all I can tell you is to just stay strong in your faith.

[strateguy632]
