Are there mormons who drink

What did they have to drink? Generic-brand Rootbeer, Sprite, and water. So, this holiday season, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of Mormon Friendly beverages that one might consider serving at party for a little more variety. They should all be served cold:.

Recently, Apple Beer has become my favorite Mormon-Friendly soda. It is not too strong and has a nice subtle flavor and after-taste. A very unique and pleasant flavor. Not everyone likes the flavor, but I love it. All Mormon churches are open to the public. Our temples also welcome all people to prepare to attend. There are Mormon temples around the world. However, because the temple ceremony is for those who have already been baptized and keep the commandments, new visitors to the Mormon church should go to a regular church building and not a temple for your first visit.

Good question, Brandi. The answer is most certainly NO. We worship only God the Father and Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was simply a prophet like Abraham or Moses. We do not worship Joseph Smith. Thank you so much for this post. I hope I can remember all of this. Like can mormons consume cannabis? Sorry, I should have been more clear. I mean illegal drugs. Pharmaceuticals are perfectly fine. So I just searched this up and it cleared a lot of fog for me religiously.

And just a question, who all do you worship? Thank you, and best reguards, -Christney. No LDS youth are ever forced to serve a mission. A mission takes months and years of preparation by the individual. Young men are expected to serve a mission if they do the work to prepare, and young women are also invited to serve missions if they so choose.

My LDS mission was a wonderful and life-changing experience. Baptism for the dead may seem different at first, but we believe what Christ said in the Bible John that a man cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven without baptism.

By performing vicarious baptism, we provide the deceased with the opportunity to CHOOSE to accept the baptism done for them on earth. I am a Christian Baptist. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

Great question, Alexandra. If it were the case that this was meant to say there could be no more scripture after this point, then the Bible would end in Deuteronomy where a very similar warning is made. I love that you are comfortable enough to speak about your religion and beliefs, I find it inspiring. However, my family and I left about 7 years ago when I was very young. I would just like you to tell me if what I have learned is true or not: 1. Women and girls need to dress modestly and unattractively so that the boys and men do not develop any sexual thoughts.

People of any colour are cursed. People of the church are encouraged to marry as young as possible. The only role of a women is to care for a house and have children. Any other religion is deemed wrong. I understand this may seem rude or sarcastic, but I assure you its not.

I hope I have not offended you, as that is not my intention at all, I am considering going back to the church, I was only 10 when we left.

I am now Thank you for posting this website, it was very helpful, if you could get back to me when you can I would really appreciate it. No, women do not need to dress unattractively.

My wife would be horrified if she had to do that! There is no age that is the right age for marriage for all people. Our prophets have encouraged us to not delay marriage unnecessarily so that we can start a family and progress in life.

We do not believe that the only role of women is to take care of the house and children. Marriage is a partnership. Many LDS women work full-time.

We believe that all religions which teach of God have some truth in them and we believe that they do good things. However, we believe that the Priesthood authority from God is only in our church. Every one is nice there.

I would like your feed back on this please. Hi, Thank you for this article. I heard about LDS about a week ago and have been completely fascinated by your religion since then and have been doing a lot of research. What would happen if someone did marry someone of the same sex? Would they be forced out of the church? Hi Dani. Thank you for asking.

We believe the same gospel principles Christ taught in the Bible regarding same-sex attraction. The church has an entire website dedicated to the questions you asked. I am 62 and a Catholic. What you have written here has given me a better understanding of being a Mormon. I wish more people would take the time to look up different religions and get a better understanding of them before they condemn them. Thank you so much. DO you have any guides on how to become a good mormon?

Hi Jessica, you would absolutely be welcomed into the church with open arms. The purpose of our church is not to be a gathering place for perfect people, but a place for anyone who wants to be better to come and learn how we can follow Christ. The best way to learn about the church is to go to Mormon.

My family are Baptists and my older brother is Mormon. Also, do you consider yourself as a Christian because, my church sees Mormons separate from Christians. Thanks so much for your time! Hi there!! I love learning about different religions and I appreciate this post. Sugar is also addictive and unhealthy and changes brain chemicals—why would that not be mentioned?

Thanks so much. Good point, Catherine. Some sodas do have caffeine but a tiny bit compared to coffee; however, I should make the point again that we do NOT know that caffeine is the reason we are not to drink coffee. All we know is that is what the prophet has revealed to us from the Lord and we follow the prophet. What about herbal tea does it matter what we drink. I lose to drink coffee and sweet tea not anymore my like has change so much now.

Hi Jim, I am currently without any religion, but I have found that Mormonism seems to fit me very well. I have some questions though, I am a bisexual man, leaning closer to men in terms of my attraction, and if I was to meet a man I wanted to spend my life with, I would spend my life with him.

I am also pro abortion. This leads me to my question: would I be permitted to be Mormon if I believed in these things? Hi Jason. As a bisexual man, you will be welcomed with open arms at church. All people of all gender orientations are welcome to worship with us. A nice post. One of my sons is 19 and he soon goes to stay with a Mormon family so this was really useful and there will be no problems on anything mentioned.

Any fiurther advice would be appreciated. He is very interested in a girl of that family and she him we believe. If people can still be Mormon and break those rules. No, not all Mormons follow all the commandments. Alot of these things are very similar to my religion Islam. Well thanks for this I was really curious! Interesting post. I have done extensive research on the lds church, history, archeologicicle evidence, DNA testing and have yet to find one single piece of evidence that conclusively supports the people, places and events claimed in the book of Mormon.

Passing off such obvious fraud as the word of God is tragically blasphemous. Also interesting that only positive comments are posted here. Hi Burton. While I do find it helpful to learn as much about the history, science, and archeology of ancient religions, I do not base my belief on that research.

On earth, we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Very useful information. I myself feel a calling to the Mormon life. I feel that is where God wants me to be. I have been in limbo spiritually for some time. Hi Lisa, Thanks for your message. Are you currently meeting with missionaries?

We are thinking of moving to Utah and possibly attending the Mormon Church as the majority of your believes are what we already practice. The one question I do have is does the church consider done by coffee.

I notice that you are allowed to drink coke which has been proven to cause cancer. I am very confused as to why coffee would be more harmful. Good for you, Hailey. I kind if have an issue…. I am honestly interested in becoming a Mormon but I have a feeling that my parents and family would see me differently. I have found some Baptists to be extremely intolerant of anyone who is not Baptist and speak of Catholics as Satanic.

If you look at the history of Christianity, you will find that all other western Christian religions have evolved from Catholicism so I find their stance hypocritical. I do not think it is good to judge others, lest you be judged. Thank you for your message. It will be the best decision you ever make. A couple who are friends of mine used to be Mormon. They said that the LDS church, though honesty is considered to be one of the most important values, encourages its members to lie to outsiders if the lie will help the church.

Apparently Joseph Smith himself was a known con artist and had a long history of stealing and defrauding his community. Not only were they excommunicated for simply asking their bishop questions about Joseph Smith, but they were demonized by members of their church afterwards for simply the degrees that they had obtained in their education.

Why does the LDS Church dislike empirical research? I have only found this trait to be common with fraudulent claims, as even the Christian Church welcomes empirical research into the history of Jesus of Nazareth.

I have been a member of this church my entire life. I have been a full-time missionary, have been involved in church leadership, and have studied it extensively. I have also participated in church disciplinary councils and am intimately familiar with the policies and procedures for doing so.

That simply would never happen. Someone could be excommunicated for apostasy, which means actively seeking to destroy the faith of others, but that could not be done by simply asking questions. There is literally an entire department of the church which is dedicated to history and research of the church. There are multiple conferences held each year by the church and by independent third-party organizations that are just about studying the history of the church and I frequently listen to all of the presentations.

Meet with the missionaries. Attend church. Pray and ask God. Hi Jim I really enjoyed your article, thank you.. To each his own.. Thank you for your touching comment, Sarah. My brother fell away from his faith a few years ago and similarly felt the emptiness you describe. Could I humbly suggest that the only way to fill this void is to allow faith in Jesus Christ to grow within yourself again?

You frankly will never find another purpose to life. Your purpose is to come unto Christ and be perfected in Him. Just pray one time. Kneel down and pour out your feelings to God. Request a completely free missionary visit. I can understand a thousand reasons why you may be hesitant to take a step forward, but I can also tell you that I feel certain of my purpose on earth, I feel motivated to grow stronger in my faith, and I do feel a strength from my relationship with God.

Finding that connection makes everything in life meaningful. I had three directors and a VP who were Mormons. Unfortunately, they did not behave the way you describe your religion.

They were hypocrites. They manipulated people saying the contrary of what they were telling us. They lied about everything. They did not respect the different values of the company. They have a high esteem of themselves. They did not listen, and they did not hesitate to get rid of people who were smarter than themselves. They did not hesitate to fire them knowing that the husband and the wife would be both jobless. They did not have any Christian value.

They reorganized the company and removed good people to bring more Mormons on board. They did not hesitate to suppress position hold by foreigners who were doing a great job because my director and VP overspent their allocated budget.

I learned they behaved the same way in another company. I used to sometimes feel negatively toward the church when I saw people not doing what they professed. Church is a place for sinners to come together and learn. Thank you for this post.

I am just starting to begin a relationship with a girl who is Mormon. I am a Methodist and live in a region where rumors run rampant. I searched this looking for answers as to whether there will be anything jeopardizing us creating a healthy relationship and from what I have gathered, there is nothing.

Thank you for enlightening me on the subject and God Bless! Not one member of the staff there judged me for not having the same beliefs as them and my employer had a very important position in the church. I may not believe in everything you practice with your religion and your religion may not believe with my lifestyle but I did will never argue that your family values, self respect physical and mental, compassion and empathy are among some of the best I have personally ever witnessed.

I think that alone speaks a lot for the positive in your religion. What would happen to an LGBT person if they married someone of the same sex? I was once a Mormon. Had a husband and 4 kids. Temple marriage. Had some awful things happen in our life, and not 1 person from our ward reached out. Then became divorced, and I thought it was bad before! It has been so long now, that I have lost my testimony.

I needed support so badly, just a sister to talk to would have helped, but nothing. But, allowed others to be baptized. Perhaps if just one person would have asked, if everything was alright, things would be different today. Then , after many years of NO communication with the church, a so called home teacher would show up at my door!

Then have the nerve to ask is there anything we can help you with? This has caused me and my family so much heartache. I am amazed by how much care and love members of the church have for one another. Just this week I saw a family with a sick mother be absolutely swarmed with people bringing dinners, taking her to doctor appointments, helping the kids get to events, etc.

However, we fail sometimes too and miss out on helping some people who would have liked the support. I have been very prejudice towards mormons, after living in Utah for 9 months with potheads and other non-mormons and having heard all the rumors. When I read your explanation of why you do what, I realized we actually have a lot of values in common! So thank you for that! So, I am honestly a Christian Baptist.

I will say this much. They are very friendly and I respect their beliefs. I do however want to be unlike a lot of my brethren that rebukes and threatens them, but instead to show GODs love and offer shelter, food, drink if the need arose. I want to show my GODs love to people and serve.

Because I do try my best to respect all people regardless of thoughts, my question would be this. What does your religion think of people like myself that believe in all aspects of the Holy Bible but not in your extended scriptures? I will ultimately make my own deductions.

I find that there is conflicts between the New Testament and your extended scriptures. Thank you for your kind comment. To me, you sound like a good person who God loves. Why would God send a good person to hell? We believe that this life is the time for people to prepare to meet God. We also believe that no one will be perfect at the time of death. We believe that it is impossible for anyone to enter the kingdom of heaven without the grace of Christ. No man can become perfected alone.

My grandsons mother is Mormon. She has kept me from seeing my grandson for plain and simple fact that she is spiteful and vindictive. Ive never done anything to her. She has prevented my son from seeing him as well, again out of spite and vindictiveness. Since 2 months old. He is 8 now. She would only allow me to visit him if she, her husband and her other kids came along for the visit. She lives a mile from me.

After christmas the visits stopped. She is on speaking terms with my son and told them she doesnt want to bring him here because we smoke. I told her we would smoke outside when he is here and she said thats fine. Just last night the excuse was homework and when i asked to please let him have a break so he can talk with me i got no answer.

Like people of every faith, not every follower does so perfectly. In fact, some make horrible mistakes and sins. But are you perhaps thinking that if any member of a church sins, that the church must be wrong? We think of church like a hospital. Do Mormons drink alcohol, tea, and coffee? What can Mormons eat and drink? Video Content. How can I learn more? New Zealand News.
