>Definition of a cult leader: Someone who is not divine yet whom claims to have a monopoly on all truth while all others are wrong in the eyes of God.
Kind of playing your cult game. So according to your definition, aren’t the following “cult leaders”:
* Moses
* Jesus Christ
OK, either...
...(a) You didn't read what I wrote very carefully; or
...(b) You don't believe Christ is divine.
I specifically said: Someone who is NOT divine yet whom claims to have a monopoly on all truth while all others are wrong in the eyes of God.
I mean, I know LDS consider Christ to just be a creature & a "saved being" who was something less than divine once upon a time...so you fall into that camp?
As for Moses, let's compare all the Smith boastful comments about himself to the Bible's description of Moses, shall we? Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth. (Numbers 12:23)
(So, no, I don't think Moses had a prob as a "monopolizer," do you?)

No. Moses never claimed to be divine. Nor did he claim a monopoly on all truth. Jesus did, but in His case He really was divine, so he doesn’t count as a cult leader either :)
“* Jesus Christ”
If you’re arguing that Jesus Christ was not divine, you completely misunderstand the basis and teachings of Christianity. That may be why you misunderstand Christian problems with Mormonism.
