"There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law." - Al Gore. Which organization on earth certifies you as Christian? Is it a simple appeal to authority or popularity?
Remember that the Christian expectation is apostasy. At no time in the Bible was God's truth in the majority. Apostasy from God's truths was and is the steady state of the world.
I've demonstrated this beyond a reasonable doubt. Do you recall the how the Pharisees ignored Christ's teachings and later the Apostles? That's apostasy. The reason God had to constantly send prophets was apostasy.
Study what I originally said. You'll understand the need for authority, God always grants it, and a formal priesthood leadership. Think about where you'd deliver Peter's letters or Paul's for that matter. To who would you give them to or speak them to?
Take your time. I understand that this is outside your current paradigm.
Finally, ad hominem means to the man. Your comment about laughing at me is to the man. It is not a logical or thoughtful refutation, but a weak appeal to the crowd. Christians look to God for validation, not men.

The Bible is the absolute authority, so when it rules out the existence of many gods, for example “Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any” (Isaiah 44:8), it rules out your theology, and puts you outside of it.
My theology squares with the Bible’s. Therefore, I am a Christian. Though, mind you, God is still the ultimate judge of that.
Nevertheless, whoever does not teach according to the word of God, as a matter of absolute truth, though of great sadness for your soul, is accursed:
Gal_1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
That is why all Christians, everywhere, reject Mormonism as a Christian religion, since it does not comply with the teachings of the scripture.
“Study what I originally said. You’ll understand the need for authority, God always grants it, and a formal priesthood leadership.”
What could possibly be of merit in your confused jumble of a post? which didn’t even prove what it set out to prove, despite your illogical conclusion. All you did was mash some words together, make an assertion, and then claimed victory.
