Latter-day Saints believe that everyone will be punished for their own individual sins and not for any transgression of Adam or Eve. Isn’t Mormonism ridiculous?

Mormonism also believes that AIDS is 'god's punishment' on gays.Women & children who get it are irrelevent.

Mormonism is not ridiculous. Their beliefs come from some Golden Plates discovered a couple hundred years ago. Howver, that is the extent of my knowledge. They don't do drugs except prescription meds. No caffeine, tobacco, alcohol or other stuff.

Mitt and I won't have any problems, unless he wishes to baptise me

It has been a while since I have appeared on SH. I do not see how that changes anything. They were born Jews, they lived as Jews, and they died as Jews. I don't see how something done after a life such as can change anything about their being.

While it could be looked at as not showing proper respect to a grave; I do not see how it makes them any less Jewish, let alone a Mormon.

Moses stone tablets could have been broken and used as fill or maybe to use as part of a wall. So that one is easy. Besides so many people had their hands on them across the centuries that they could have been made to disappear.

That gold is another story. If he stashed 500 pounds of gold, ... well if I found it, I could have for a much easier retirement. Enjoy the best Scotch. No cavier or there abominations life that for me. Fine steaks and pork to keep the Islamites happy.

Reason,friendship, and aliies can be found in more than one religion.

The doctrine to which you are ineptly referring to is called the "Fall". It was the process whereby Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil knowing that God the Father had previously forbid it. As a consequence of this transgression they were cast out of the garden and set loose in the "lone and dreary wilderness" that is the present state we find ourselves in.



Some traditions believe that because of the Fall all mankind are damned eternally and irredeemably. Some insist that only a few will be able to overcome this effect and are predestined to be saved.



Mormonism teaches that while the Fall affected all people we are not irrevocably damned because of it. The infinite atonement of Jesus Christ paid not only the price of our sins but also the price of Adam's transgression. in other words, because of His actions all mankind will be redeemed from the Fall. "As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive."



I hope this helpled you to understand a little better.

We are lost because of Adam and Eve's sin - we are born guilty. But I do believe that those who are not redeemed through Christ will be punished for the sins they committed.

Ah, I just re-read the question again. I see no blasphemy there. The only blasphemy I find is your response to me.... ;)

That is a myth.What 'sin'? 'Eve' eating an apple? Doesn't they sound ludicrious to you at all? Humans are not born 'guilty' of anything.

I feel that idea was just fabricated as a way to continue to make people feel guilty even if they live exactly by the unnatural demands of their religion.

Lol! You are welcome holy heretic

I miss your flowers.

This election is not about the Latter Day Saints, it's about the OBAMA's failed programs and his complete failure about the the ECONOMY. You can bring up any thing your little hearts desires but this election is about the ECONOMY, STUPID

It was the congress that passed all these stupid laws, but unfortunately, GW did do anything to stop them. Hey, it happened in his watch, so, he is to blame. Just as all of these things happening is happening on OBAMA's watch, He is responsible for the ECONOMY. Stupid.

Congress began paying bills with Social Security and Medicare revenues when Bush was a college brat.
He could have told us that is why that the trust fund it empty and why something had to be done.

You may be right on, because LBJ raided the SS locked box in the early 6o's. He took everything that was locked up and paid it back with GOVERNMENT IOU's

If that is so then why do they keep trying to convert everyone?

Wow that is lacking in logic.

Ahh Tina Fey would be on my list of women I could cheat with if she was not married. Smart, Sexy and Funny.

All bodies are suffering for the transgression of Adam, and Eve. It is our choice to not be like the devil toward others choseing to be like Jesus is toward others. That saves the soul within the body.

Belief in gods is the ultimate proof that brainwashing from childhood thru adulthood really works well !
