that all other churches are of the devil?
+++++++
I keep hearing this from you folks as if it is a bad thing.
And yet, no matter what differences other religions teach, if they do not follow what you think of as the core beliefs, all other Churches are not of the Church of God.
You and yours also say that if it is not of God, the Church is of the devil or his followers.
So, if, like you say, this is a bad thing, you are also doing a bad thing, by your own teachings.
It is when it is applied as mormonism does.
And yet, no matter what differences other religions teach, if they do not follow what you think of as the core beliefs, all other Churches are not of the Church of God.
LOL, Christian churches are Christian because they hold to these core beliefs and we are all part of the universal Church - the Body of Christ. There may be some doctrinal distinctives among denominations that are battered about, but the fundamentals are the same. Be that Baptist, Pentecostal, Lutheran or Catholic, etc - however, all are of the "Christian Religion". Hinduism, etc cannot be considered a Christian religion in the slightest.
Note your own words here too.....what they teach i.e. their doctrines. There is no spiritual equivalency between for instance eastern religions and Christianity. The difference is doctrine.
You and yours also say that if it is not of God, the Church is of the devil or his followers.
Christianity (as well as mormonism) does not recognize Islam, hinduism, paganism, etc as being 'of God'. Christianity focuses in particular on the fact that they are not Biblically based. To speak that they are of the "devil" is extreme, except to the point that their rejection of Biblical Christianity will lead to their unwitting subordination to the devil.
So, if, like you say, this is a bad thing, you are also doing a bad thing, by your own teachings.
Not my point either F. mormons are among the first to squeal about persecution and saying bad things. Fact is mormonism has a 170+ year track record of attacking Christianity. You have all your 'missionaries' doing it every day. Your own prophets have challenged all to examine mormonism - that is the doctrines and teachings - and if they cannot stand up to scrutiney, whining won't help. ..by your (my) own teachings from the bible I am directed to examine teachings and beliefs said to be from 'god' and see if they stand the test of God's Word. Mormonism's doctrines and so-called pronouncements from 'god' do not meet this Biblical standard, just as other non-Christian religious beliefs around the world.
My final point that you skipped over was that IF your testamony and doctrines are so patently from God, why do you try to present yourselves as main-stream Christianity? Shout you polytheism from the roof tops. Announce to all that only those who are temple worth and perform all the ordances will live with father God forever in his presence. Show all where the Bible is mistranslated instead of relying upon the KJV which was based on lesser quality MSS to begin with. Preach the BOA, put up bill boards celebrating Smithmas. Let people know what you believe instead of hiding it.
