When ever I read all the crap that the Mormons and the JWs put out I think, man, why don't they just go with the Bible. Instead they pick and choose from OUR Bible (the living word of God) and add add add to it a bunch of unbelievable junk. The astounding thing to me is that so many people are stupid enough to believe it.

There are so many variations of denominations. It can be hard to know. Bottom Line - Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified and died, taking on our sins, He rose 3 days later and sits at the right hand of God. He is part of the Trinity-Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Beyond that, it is ‘fluff’. Differing rites, routines, etc. But when one denies Jesus’ divinity, and rants on it, well, expect to hear ‘Incoming!’. Just sayin’

There are several otherwise intelligent people who fall for these things.

One reason is the absolute LACK of biblical literacy in the world. If you don’t know the Bible, things can be easily twisted.

The other main reason, imo, is that they “hook” you with one set of doctrines/beliefs, only for you to find out later that that was just the tip of the iceberg and there is a whole other set of doctrines and beliefs.

Actually they rewrote our bible to suit their beliefs.

In the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the Word was (a) God. They added the a and other things to suit their beliefs.
