How can a church whose founder supposedly was given the "restored gospel" directly from God have a learning period?
Those who read the book for the first time will find within its pages the course laid out for eternal life. They will be able to conclude, with the testimony of Joseph Smith that "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct book of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man could get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
How can 12 of Christ chosen sit and argue over trivial matters years after the cross that caused a division? How can they misinterpret a passage of scripture that one among them would not die? Where did even Peter's knowledge come from? Yet Peter too was human. I have better things to do than to go on a Mormon and JBS witch hunt. I do believe this. Of the churches of today the doctorine mistakes of Mormons are gnats compared to some other well respected considered mainstream Christian Churches are not near as serious as the following. Ones who allow such abominations ass those who teach and marry persons into a practice of abomiunation in the pulpit. Which would I rather have as a neighbor? No contest!
