Nice try.
You avoided replying to the over 40 posts which are indictments of Mormon theology. You then select one
sentence that you can “work with” to pretend that LDS beliefs are orthodox Christianity.
You are right: Americans are free to believe anything they choose, and to belong to any “church” no matter how weird or blasphemous it might be. Freedom of speech and religion extends to my right to point out those aspects of a group that fall outside the almost 2000 year old definition of Christianity.
What do you expect from a ‘stunt mormon’ practicing mormonism taqqiya at FR?
You couldn't be more wrong.

I don't have to reply to any of them, ever. I don't need to defend the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I simply look at where it hits perfectly with the Word of God aka the Bible.
Please peruse my postings and you'll see I've refuted many equivocations posted by the anti-Mormon contingent of Free Republic. Ours must be the pursuit of truth, no matter where it leads. The LDS more often than not hit it out of the park and spectacularly so. Why not educate yourself by starting here:
Now, how many illiterate country bumpkins were talking theosis in America in the 1800s? You've got to give Joseph Smith some credit. How many Orthodox know about theosis? Catholics? Yet it is all part of their belief system.
