You teach that there is only one true church and all others are wrong. And you teach it is wrong for others to also say there is only one true church. OK for you to do it, but wrong for others.

I believe Jesus is the only way. I believe it to be wrong when mormonism misrepresents that belief (Christianity), tries to claim they are Christian just like us, yet behind their closed doors Christians are condemned to hell because we reject J. Smith and his 'revelation'. That is talking out of both sides of their mouth. That is where I say you are 'wrong'. Your prophets were at least honest in their vilification of Christianity, now lds want to be accepted as what was once reviled. Again - go ahead and state your faith if it is the truth, and state your teachings clearly what lds believe about Christianity - be wide open about it - just don't expect it not to be challenged as you are trying to force here - a non-negative zone for mormon presentation (thats what caucuses are for)

Thanks for affirming that you also say, by using your beliefs, that there is only one true church.

So, please stop saying it is wrong for others to also say there is only one true church according to their beliefs.

For Christians Jesus is the ONLY way.
For Mormons they must go through Joseph Smith to gain entrance into heaven.
I don't have time to search for all the references to this but it is common knowledge with most LDS members.
In my Bible I find no mention of any Joseph Smith judging me when I die.
On October 9, 1859, Young said, "From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are -- I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent" (Journal of Discourses 7:289).


You teach that there is only one true church and all others are wrong. And you teach it is wrong for others to also say there is only one true church. OK for you to do it, but wrong for others.

Christian churches follow the Bible. You can go to ANY Christian church and will basically get the same type of sermons. There may be small differences in some churches in how they teach from the Bible but basically they are all teaching the same message.
Then go into any LDS church and sit and listen to their sermons/talks. Skim through their hymnal and see how many songs are directed to their prophets instead of Jesus. Or how many speakers talks are actually quoting from the Bible or end their talks professing their beliefs in Joseph Smith and the mormon church. Bring a piece of paper and a pencil and keep track of who is mentioned more often or what 'scriptures' are referenced to most.

There is a BIG difference in Christian Churches and LDS Churches.
