>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.

But to non-Christians, Christ is not divine. That means that Christ is a cult leader. Further, Joseph Smith did not claim a monopoly. He claimed that Christ had a monopoly. There’s a difference.

>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?

That is untrue. The Church of Jesus Christ teaches that Christ is a member of the Godhead, and has no beginning and no end. We believe that John 1 is talking about Christ (the Word is Christ).

>As for Moses, let’s compare all the Smith boastful comments about himself to the Bible’s description of Moses, shall we?

First, we don’t even know what Moses actually wrote. And we certainly do not have recordings of much of what he said, given a few thousand years back.

But why don’t you give me Smith’s boastful comments.

“First, we don’t even know what Moses actually wrote.”

We don’t actually know what Jesus said either. We only know what we some people heard Jesus say. Plus what is the bible today was created by the Catholic Church hundreds of years after his death. Many previous parts of the Bible were excluded.
