That is correct. They pick and choose verses to fit their beliefs. They never study to get to know anything in historical context.
My ancestry comes from the very beginning of Mormonism. My Great, Great grandparents were some of the first Mormons under J.S. and made the trek from Nauvoo to Utah with Brigham.
My parents never attended but found the RLDS church. Then I met my husband who was RLDS. Most of the time the people in that church were trying to convince people it was not the LDS and RLDS was the true Joseph Smith Mormon church. Because my husband was a member thru (his ancestry) and part of the priesthood, I just went along with it. As the RLDS fell apart my husband started realizing it was a false religion. I am just saddened that so many of our years was spent in that.
