Did Joseph Smith MORMON FOUNDER practice the OCCULT/SATANISM?
Scott M,
how could he have just made up his own religion? He needed help from Satan the founder of all lies, Satan works through evil things like greed, lust, and power. Satanism is involved in the worship of Joseph Smith. He did not just make it up. He had help from other people and Satan.

no

most LIKELY NOT. there is NO ONE ALIVE today to ask FOR SURE.

Mormonism and Jehovas whiteness, all cults under the rule of (Satan) and man

They are much like Chinese Rolex's they look and feel real but once you wear it a little bit, it all falls apart.

I think he practiced the charlatanism.

yes

Be a lot cooler if he did.

Smith had a criminal record in the state of new york for using "magic stones" to find water. this kind of thing was illegal in the state.

interesting that he "translated" the book of Mormon with magic rocks as well...

how do you even get that idea. personally Mormon is a load of bull, but i dint see how he could be a satanist

Why have you asked the question twice, using exactly the same words and same upper case letters? The second box is for you to give any further information that you think the reader might need to help them understand just what it is you wish to know.

In answer to your double question, I know very little about the Mormon church except that Joseph Smith was supposed to have had a conversation with angels and was given some golden plates with new rules on. This sounds very much like the occult to me so I guess many people will say 'yes', he dabbled in the occult.

No he did not. He was raised Protestant and had "the first vision" as a young teen boy.

No.

He just made up his own religion.

Satanism? No

The Occult? Considering that all religion could be classified as such by a literal definition of the term, yes.

The belief of the Mormons founder is in God & not Satan. He believe in God & believe in His Son Jesus. However to Him God is Almighty & Jesus being the son is mighty. He does not believe in the existence of hell. He is not an occult nor a member of satanism.But because He believes that the Father & Son are two Gods.The members should study the teaching of Jesus that He & His Father are but One God.

no.

No. He worshiped God, not Satan.

(Since you don't believe in church in general, and believe that the world will end in 2011 (BTW...no man knows when the time comet), why are all your questions attacking LDS church, rather than any other churches?)

Considering Jesus is the founder of the LDS church, it is not practicing Satanism, but it is entertaining he has you convinced it is true.

Why is it that people are convinced that there couldn't have been divine assistance?

Of course not. You think Satan WANTS people to KNOW Jesus Christ is the Savior???

Come on people.

He DIDN"T just make up "his own" religion. He was instructed by Alimighty God and by His Son, Jesus Christ to RESTORE the full gospel to the earth. No one worships Joseph Smith. He is a prophet, just like Moses, Adam, Aaron, Abraham, Nephi, Lehi...

Satan CAN"T support Christ! Nothing GOOD comes from Satan!!!! ALL good things come from God. And the Mormon church is nothing BUT good.

Pull your head out people.

Nope. And we don't worship Joseph Smith. We worship Christ.

And that's exactly why Satan would encourage people to read the scriptures, repent of their sins, be better people, and follow Christ???

Yea....that makes a whole lot of sense.
