Respect? They don’t respect Evangelicals, they see us as targets and apostates. They USE us to get votes. They hate us. The theological differences are on key issues. I will not ‘respect’ someone who insults my Lord by claiming he is the brother of Satan and just another spirit child of God like us (ontologically the same) who had to earn his salvation and godhood just like us. Don’t forget the Mormons wanted to destroy and take over this country (that is also part of their theology) and it is still part of their theology (I can document all of this) that they will control the US government as a church. Also the first amendment doesn’t apply to the Mormon church - they shun and kick out those who disagree (see Kate Kelly, John Dehlin, Alan Rock Waterman, and now Jeremy Runnells all of whom are friends of mine.
I don’t sing kumbayah
Are you saying that a Church shunning someone and/or kicking them out violates the First Amendment?
Any Church can shun and kick out whomever they want.
We only win people to Christ through friendship, not hatred.
Look I vehemently disagree with LDS doctrine, but I do respect people, and will ally with them in political battles.
Who hates who?
