babywings76 said:Nope, the Church does not own Coca-Cola. One of Coca-Cola's past CEO's was a Mormon. We don't drink Coffee, Tea (herbal tea is okay), alcohol, or use any form of tobacco. Caffeine isn't officially on the list, but most members of the church avoid it when they can.
Yes, it is a well-known belief among Mormons that they should not consume coffee.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon church, teaches that coffee is considered a stimulant and addictive substance that can harm the body and spirit.
The consequences for drinking coffee vary among individuals and are ultimately between the person and their faith. However, it is generally discouraged and seen as breaking the Word of Wisdom, a health code followed by Mormons.
There are some rare exceptions, such as using coffee as part of a medical treatment prescribed by a doctor, but in general, Mormons are expected to abstain from drinking coffee.
The Word of Wisdom also advises against consuming alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. It also encourages a healthy and balanced diet, including the moderation of meat consumption.
