I really do not think that SD has any real knowledge of LDS doctrine.
She claims to have a Christian background based upon her posts, but I suspect if she was really saved, she, like so many others, were immature in the Christian faith and weak in the Bible and thus easily deceived by the half truths of Mormonism. It would also constantly explain the self-identification as a “Mormon” rather than a Christian.
I believe that SD, like many other LDS, say they love and worship Jesus and that is the same Jesus of the Bible ONLY because they are TOLD that rather than investigating and researching on their own.
I have met ‘spiritually lazy’ Christians who repeat what their pastor says and don’t read the Bible on their own, but the LDS FAR, FAR surpass that laziness all the while claiming how much they ‘study’.
In reality, their ‘studies’ are all LDS church propaganda that is regurgitated over and over and over, independent research is frowned upon. A sure sign of brainwashing.
I appreciate your observations and thoughts.
I want to be clear that I am not judging Saundra for her statement. I’m seeking clarification of what she means when she says she loves Jesus.
In fact, if she answers that she loves the mormon Jesus and not the Biblical Christ, I am not judging her for that.
I believed far, far worse before the advent of God’s revelation and grace in my life (which I assure all was unmerited and undeserved in any way) - and I don’t know the struggles she has faced in her life or that path she’s trod.
I’m simply trying to understand what she actually means when she posts this (which she has posted numerous times.
Best,
