praying he feels the same

I've been friends with this guy for years. We went to dinner last night and we hit it off. We spoke in unison, have a lot of the same goals and dreams. Needless to say I'm very interested in him. We spent almost 3 hours together we went for a walk, we held hands. He's amazing and Mormon which I prefer if he's not catholic or non denominational. My problem is I don't know if he's interested in me. I've had feelings for him for years and he asked me to dinner as friends. IDK what to do. I've never felt this way before. Any advice?

Doubt you'll find much advice encouragaging you to date a cult member.

Ignore your emotions. They will go away eventually. Mormons are not christians.

I have to agree, Mormons are not Christians. I think you need to step
for a moment and look at what they believe. I don’t mean what they tell
you to believe. They will tell you they believe the same stuff and are also
Christians,.

The reality is they are a cult. You have to agree to all of their decisions.
Who to marry, where to live etc. They run your life for you.

They believe we all existed in heaven and lived with God but there was a
limit to how much people can progress in heaven. So God sends us
to earth to be tested. That’s not at all biblical.

They place more value in the Book of Mormon than the bible.
Joseph Smith who wrote the Book of Mormon was a criminal.
Also they do not think the bible is the final word.

So they use the Book of Mormon as a continuation of the bible.
The problem is that the Book of Mormon keeps getting updating!
By...you guessed it by the Mormons. They keep updating their own
prophesies when the original ones don’t come to anything.

If you marry this person beware, you will end up trapped with no
mind or opinion of your own. They tell you what to wear, what to think etc.

If you go against them you will be considered an apostate and they will
shun you.

Oh and if children come along you will have no choice but to teach them
about being a Mormon and indoctrinate them about the Book of Mormon.

They won’t let you teach them about anything else.

They also have a way of twisting the bible around to make it seem what
they are saying is right.

So I’m really sorry as it seems that you really like this person, but I can’t
pray that this person is right for you.

Can I make another suggestion instead, that you seek a true deep relationship
with God and that you ask God to show you His truth and the real salvation
to be found in Christ.

Get yourself an easy to read bible translation, something you can understand
without all the thees, thoughs etc and find out for yourself about the one and
only living God.

Forget about denominations, just read the bible for yourself and ask God to
help you to understand. Use your own mind, not someone else’s.

No offence but i really don't think its a good idea to want to spend your life with someone who is out of a cult and believes in wearing holy undergarments against evil... especially for the long run

Mormons are cultists. They wear special underwear, they believe they will be gods and have their own planets someday.. on and on and on.. So run far and fast from this guy.. Don't be with anyone who is not a Christian.

To the OP have a read of this about their “prophets”

I’m always reminded of the prophets of Baal when I see stuff like
this.

And you can never drink coffee and tea again ever because those are evil for them.

I'm in a metro city where 90% of my town is Catholic. Thanks for letting me know this. I had no idea.

While Catholicism has much that is not biblical Catholics are Christian. Non denominational? What’s wrong with them? Lol I’m went to a non denomination church for years and found so much deliverance and healing as a result. Talk about straining at a gnat! You won’t accept the above but will allow yourself to swoon at a cult Mormon? Please dear wake up and smell the coffee. The devil is wooing u. Sorry to be blunt. But I’d rather slap u with a wet fish and save u years of heartache. Run sister and while u do please read CS Lewis Screwtape Letters. That will help.

If you enjoy coffee or tea, RUN AWAY as quickly as you can- not to mention alcohol.

RUN, don’t walk.

I don’t know what else you can’t have as a Mormon, normal underwear is one.

Mormons started out as a sex cult. A bunch of old guys wanting to bed multiple 12 yo females.

unfortunately, mormons do not believe in the same Jesus we believe. they believe Jesus and lucifer are half brothers.

I don't think they allow outsiders into their big temples, which is a clue.

It's interesting that most (if not all) pagan religions and cults have a sexually deviant foundation. Which helps to explain why God takes sexual sin so seriously.

I agree with most of the others here. Run away as fast as you can.

I have noticed this peculiarity about cults as well. One of the things that convinces me of the truth of Christianity is monogamous marriage. No man would have dreamed up a religion requiring monogamy. All of these strange, man made religions revolve around some strange polygamy, polyamory, or in the case of Shakers and others, total chastity.

Well love is just a feeling that you can stop. I never believe with blind love but rational love. Like why and how.
We as women mostly use our heart than our rationality, one goodness can touch our hearts and making us being symphaty.

He maybe just see you as a friend, isnt it be beeter just as friend so when nothing unexpected happened you wont loose your good friend? blessing

If you like him and he likes you too then you should not have hesitation to have a romantic relationship with him.

but make sure that he is not a drunkard/drug addict/doing something illegal to earn/angry man/very lazy man

want to know if your crush is Godly? then read 1 Corinthians 13 and see if he has these characteristics.

want to know if he has holy Spirit then read Galatians 5:22-23 if he has these characteristics.
