Well, go ahead and say it, then. Don't just beat around the bush, and let your founder say it for you. Embrace it as your own.
I want you, and any other LDS poster, to put it in plain words. Spell out exactly what Joseph was saying, so that no one will misunderstand. Let me spell it out, and then all you have to write is, "Yes, I agree with this post."
According to Joseph Smith: All Baptist creeds are an abomination to God. All Presbyterian creeds are an abomination to God. All Methodist creeds are an abomination to God. All Missionary & Alliance creeds are an abomination to God. All charismatic and pentecostal creeds (including Assemblies of God) are an abomination to God. All Nazarene creeds are an abomination to God. All Lutheran creeds are an abomination to God. All Catholic creeds are an abomination to God. All Episcopalian creeds are an abomination to God. All Quaker and Friends' creeds are an abomination to God. All Congregational creeds are an abomination to God. All Reformed creeds are an abomination to God. All other Protestant creeds in other streams are an abomination to God. Spelled out, these are Joseph's words. Do you believe them?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church on the face of the earth.
Just like most other religions, we claim to have the truth, and every body else is wrong. Unlike most religions we believe that those who truly believe, but are mistaken in their belief will have the opportunity to join later, and even those who have lived good lives without joining will not end up in “Hell” just because they “Guessed wrong” (that’s why the South park episode is so funny, everyone went to hell just because they were not Mormon, even though that’s not what Mormon’s believe, so if we were the right church … Irony, it so… Ironic)
So, again with the Question from #468
Why is it that those who leave the church can’t leave it alone?
