Oh, I guess you know what happened to the Mayans - why and how their civilization vanished from the face of the earth. Was it disease, was it war? The Book of Mormon has an explanation.

I was reading the Book of Mormon last night and marveling at the fact that Joseph Smith could not have made it all up; that would be impossible, though he was obviously a very intelligent man. No one could have dreamed up the Book of Mormon. If they had, and if they had an agenda, they would have come up with stories that made God’s people look better. But instead, it tells the truth about God’s people’s foibles and missteps . . . you know, like the Bible.

I love the Book of Mormon. I used to be afraid to read it and believe it because of the way I was raised (Southern Baptist) and all the anti Mormon preaching and teaching I was subjected to. I am glad I opened my mind and my heart to the Savior and to the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so happy.

WRONG!

Satan could easily make up the book of mormon, appear to Joe Smith as an angel of light, and lie his butt off. As he apparently did.

“I am glad I opened my mind and my heart to the Savior and to the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so happy.”

No offense, but you come across as a brainwashed cultist.

Now, on to the main point.

The mormon church has no savior. Only the Jesus Christ of the Bible, who was God from eternity and not some broken man who became a god, could possibly be a savior. Instead of mindlessly repeating drivel, think Saundra!

If what the mormons teach about Jesus were true, He couldn’t be the Savior. If He wasn’t the Savior, you deny the central message of the Bible. And the mormon church DOES deny the Savior. Nothing to be happy about there!
