Many LDS teachings from The Journal of Discourses reveal the chasm between MormonISM and Christianity, and one of the most astonishing is listed below:

"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]

And following are a few of the Bible reasons why this is blasphemous teaching from MormonISM:

Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

I’m Roman Catholic. Could there be anything more false than religions by their very name “protesting” against the one true apostolic Church of God? Was Martin Luther a delusional fanatic, as well as a virulent anti-semite? I don’t feel “impelled” to defend Mormonism or any other religion, except from the standpoint that we have religious freedom in America.

IOW I don’t give a rat’s rear about Mormonism. Some people see speaking in tongues, exorcisms, belief in demons, virgin births, etc., as lunacy. Are these not tenets of our traditional Christianities?

Is Mormonism bunk? Being that it’s not my religion, of course. Is what Obama believes bunk? Absolutely. Bill and Hilary Clinton?? Puleeze.

Thanks for the info. Mormons are decent well behaved God fearing people.
