From the article: If a 'counterfeit' person was using your name online -- and has some attributes similar to you -- does it make it 'you' if it's 'close enough?'... LDS "apostle" Bruce R. McConkie essentially answered the question before the development of the Internet world: "A false Christ is NOT a person. It is a false system of worship, a false church, a false cult that says, 'Lo, here is salvation, here is the doctrine of Christ. Come and believe thus and so, and ye shall be saved.' It is any concept or philosophy that says that redemption, salvation, sanctification, justification, and all of the promised rewards can be gained in any way except that set forth by the [LDS] apostles and prophets."

The relevance? Even Lds leaders claim that the Mormon Jesus and the Jesus of Christians is not "interchangeable"...IoW, He's not the same "Being."

Yeah. My Grandmother was a Backwoods Baptist. She had no use for those Missionary Baptists. All going straight to hell she always said. And don’t even ask about Catholics.

I don’t think she really even believed in Jews.

Is this available all together on a website? I’d like to link it to our article: http://www.faithfacts.org/world-religions-and-theology/ex-mormon-testimony

This must be the phase of losing where we attack our losing candidate.

So don’t leave me out.

Anyone who thought Mitt Romney was a Christian, doesn’t know Mormons or Christianity. But let me ask you this: who has conducted their lives more like a proper Christian, Obama or Romney?
