“We bare testimony, as his duly ordained Apostles”
Except they aren’t my Apostles, I consider them more like corporate board of directors, so their Testimony has no inspirational weight. And the D&C means nothing to me as a scripture. So while many of the sentiments can be acknowledged, it is the same old attempt to slide the camel’s nose under the tent.
It most emphatically is not. Different, challenging yes, but not a cult. But so what if it were? Even cults deserve religious freedom. But must a man subscribe to the scrutinies of dogmatic gatekeepers?
Of course not, except in certain parts of the Republican Party. Our enemies know this, and have exploited this rift to the embarrassment of us all. I am shocked, that even in the season of advent, when the world is ripe for evangelism, some sanctimonius Christians call into question the salvation of others whose testimonies and confessions are as genuine as any I have any heard.
