LDS is a relatively young church. It has radically changed from the days of it's beginnings. I don't believe they are Pagans nor headed to hell for that matter. All young churches have a learning period and it was no different with even those Christ chose and immediate ones to follow. Look at some of their petty senseless arguments amongst themselves. Arguments that today we see as trivial and why was it such a big deal with them. The cutting of ones skin as an example {just trying to be polite OK :>} Look at what it finally took to get them to leave Jerusalem and begin The Great Commission. What were they doing early on and then what were they told to do by Christ? Did he say stay in Judea and live together? He smites the flock and they scattered taking The Gospel with them.

The Holy Spirit will lead all people and all churches who seek the Lord to the truth in the Lords anointed time. Considering the LDS church of today vs it's early days a lot has happened and changed in a short period of time. Remember as well even the Israelites took many, many, years to teach. We want things right here and right now changed. GOD gave us time for our own needs but as such our time and GOD's time are not the same thing.

It has radically changed from the days of it's beginnings.

But WHY??

THEY are the one's who claim to have the RESTORED GOSPEL!

There has been NOTHING in their 'doctrine' that has changed - why have they?

THEY are the ones who proclaim that the jots and tittles are SO important; why do they IGNORE GOD's word in D&C 132?

THEY are the ones who claim that their Temple Rites® are so IMPORTANT; yet they have CHANGED even those!

Led by GOD or MEN?

The reader will decide.

All young churches have a learning period

How can a church whose founder supposedly was given the "restored gospel" directly from God have a learning period?

Those who read the book for the first time will find within its pages the course laid out for eternal life. They will be able to conclude, with the testimony of Joseph Smith that "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct book of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man could get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
