You have obviously misread my post. Many if not most American denominations, at least in the South, held more or less exactly the same position with regard to keeping blacks “in their place,” segregation, intermarriage, etc. through much of the 20th century.

Different denominations abandoned these, IMO, unscriptural doctrines at different point over the course of the last century. At present they are held only by obscure groups similar in numbers and influence to the Westboro Baptist Church.

The Mormons were among the last to abandon these doctrines, but you cannot hold them uniquely responsible for doctrinal error when similar doctrines were at one time or another held by most “Christian” churches in this country.

(I use quotes around “Christian” because I am referring to all groups that claim to be Christian, without getting down in the weeds to argue about which are and are not. That’s a valid topic for discussion, but is not relevant to this issue.)

The HELL I can't!

THEY are they ones crowing and preening about how excellant THEIR 'church' is - Restoring the Gospel that was 'lost' by Christianity!

THEY are the arrogant ones claiming to have the ONLY man on earth that hears from GOD.
