Default is there another faith other than mormonism...?

Mormons don't drink, smoke, watch rated "R' movies, gamble, or swear. They never take the Lord's name in vain. it seems they do more "right by God" than any other faith, but I have never been to many churches, so maybe i just don't know. they believe God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost to be separate beings and that children are innocent and do not carry Adam's transgression. i agree with these things * is there another church where the members follow these rules? *it seems that most churches have most of these, but people in them don't do all of them. they might say "1 drink is OK", or they might say "oh my (lord's name in vain)", but not think it's wrong. FYI- i am Mormon, so Mormons please don't try to convert me, i just want to know if there are other churches that teach all these things
creation- could you be more specific???
everyone i know who goes to other churches differs on most of the above mentioned

I watch R rated movies, bingo is a major problem for me, and ....well I try not to - but I cuss when I get angry (kind of like Dorette's)

I don't think there is another church where they profess "no alcohol" or "pay attention to what you use" and other stuff like that but I do know there are good Christians in all churches.

There are other churches that believe some of those basic teachings, for instance, Baptists. However, God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are not separate beings they are one. And, all people that came after Adam and Eve have the sin nature. My church doesn't believe in smoking, drinking, gambling, or swearing, or taking the Lord's name in vain.

Hello.
VVell....other faiths?
As far as I Nov, some sects, if not all, of the Muslims are forbid en to drink alcohol.

Jehova VVitness are very much like the Mormons in a Vevay, very very strict in HOV they are with each other. I don't NovVivuch about mormons, but many J.VV. people state they are not "allovved" to associate vvith people not of their faith except to "convert" them.

A lot of churches are different regarding rules. They usually don't get into their personal life.

The Catholic "church" is alvvays accepting people, as G-d does, no matter vvhat sins they may have committed, thought the "pope" acts as G-d. They are universally accepted and universally accept all, hence Catholic- universally accepted/general. They, the chatholics, are taught to do vvell and resist evil for the most part. Attend one of their service to see for yourself. I haven't been to one in so long, for many many years novv.

Side Note: Pope-Comes from the varient of Papa vvhich translate to father.
[Origin: bef. 900; ME; OE p?pa < LL: bishop, pope < LGk p?pas bishop, priest, var. of p?ppas father; see papa]
[Middle English, from Old English p?pa, from Late Latin, from Latin, father (title of bishops), from Greek papp?s; see papa in Indo-European roots.]
O.E. papa, from M.L. papa "bishop, pope" (in classical L., "tutor"), from Gk. papas "patriarch, bishop," originally "father." Applied to bishops of Asia Minor and taken as a title by the Bishop of Alexandria c.250. In Western Church, applied especially to the Bishop of Rome since the time of Leo the Great (440-461) and claimed exclusively by them from 1073. Popemobile, his car, is from 1979. Papal, papacy, later acquisitions in Eng., preserve the original vowel. Popery (1534) was a hostile coinage of the Reformation.

*****I AM NOT GOING AGAINST CATHOLICS. THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, FOR THE RECORD.*****


Evangelist are defined as preachers of the gospel, to bring good nevvs. Do they practice vvhat they preach?
I have my opinion, but for the general understanding of the gospel, to do good and resist evil, that vvould be entirely personal, as goes for everyone in vvhatever faith they are in. Some do vvell, others not. Even if you think evil, you commit evil by thinking it, as has been giving. (Matthevv 5:28)

Anyone's faith that is based upon not sinning, as the vvay sin is defined in the bible, follovv most if not all of the rules you listed. There are certain monks and some sects that are super strict, in vvhich I even heard some try not to step on insects. For me, I think that is going too far, but is very close to my faith, in vvhich I try to be as perfect as I can, to love all of creation but that that rebels from the Creator.


By the vvay, for *my opinion* on the matter of children carrying Adam's trangression, I believe vve all do. VVhy you may ask.
First knovv that Adam is not *only* one Man, but a group of people vvhere Adam the Man is a representation of humanity.
Second, if you incarnate into this vvorld, I believe it is because you transgressed in the spirit, spirit vvorld or something like that.
For Adam came in the form of flesh becoming sin, for the sake of the lost souls that [got] entangled vvith the physical, that vve might become the righteuos of G-d in him (II Corinthians 5:21). As it is vvritten, the first man Adam vvas made a living soul (Gen. 2:7); the last Adam vvas made a quickening spirit. (I Corintians 15:45)
Adam sinned and became flesh (on purpose/foreordained?), then became our salvation through the Man vve have come to knovv as Yeshua (knovvn as Iesus).

Remember, Christ Iesus vvas perfect and spotless (Lk. 13:32; Heb. 5:9, 9:14; I Pt. 1:19), leaving that person made to be sin Adam; the same entity as Yeshua in a different incarnation.

I do believe hovvever that G-d, YhShVh (Yeshua/Iesus) and the Holy Spirit are somevvhat seperate beings but I vvon't get into that.


Take care and G-d bless.






A particular church organisation is vvell. For it centers the mind. But don't get the idea you have the vvhole cheese.
