respectfully of course, I am told by more than one LDS on FR that they do not accept the traditional Christian creeds, and consider the Bible accurate only "as translated".
This however is not the place for a doctrinal discussion of mormonism - however - I do ask that if you consider them errant, I will welcome your reasoned response / correction.
If mormonism is part of your belief system, my apologies if any of this is deemed offensive
If so, kindly ask the mod to delete this and forgive me

I'd be very interested to hear about the traditional Christian creeds they don't accept, if they're practicing LDS.
I was only a member for about 8 years, but having earlier attended Presbyterian, Catholic and Episcopalian churches, I found nothing about the Mormons which struck me as un-Christian. Having read the Bible many times, and studied it a fair amount, I still maintain that opinion.
But maybe my own thoughts are not "traditional". For instance, I don't believe that God created the world in six 24 hour days approximately 6,000 years ago.
Could you elaborate on the non-acceptance of traditional creeds?
And I didn't find your post offensive. Yours was a great example of how people can reasonably disagree, which is what makes for interesting discussions.
That's right.
Every Bible believer, without exception, only considers a translation accurate if they think it is accurate, that is, translated correctly.
It is not necessary to accept doctrines of men in order to be a Christian. It is necessary to believe in Christ, do what He says, accept the apostles and prophets He has sent, and the Scripture He has commanded them to write.
Now, hopefully, back to the topic of the thread.
