In the chart you posted, you say that one of the things that make Mormons the wrong religion is that we say “The LDS Church is the only true church.”

Then you say about your “true” church:

“The church is a body of various believers and groups of believers.
The one true church is the invisible, spiritual, and universal body of Christ in heaven and on earth made up of all those true believers from various local denominations or visible churches. The body is an organism, not an external organization. Unity in this body does not demand complete uniformity in its various manifestations. God loves diversity. Yet the church’s unity is in Christ, who is the vine. People in various denominations who are committed to the Vine are the branches; no one particular manifestation of the church is the vine.”

So, what you are saying is that your groups are members of the “one true religion”. If another group does not agree with your beliefs, they are not part of the one true church.

You have also said that one of the reasons the LDS church is not the true church is because we declare that we are the one true church. You are saying and have said that it is wrong to call yourself the one true church.

Conclusion: by your own internal defection, because you call yourself a member of one of the groups that is part of the one true religion, and because it is wrong for a group to call itself the one true religion, you are saying that you are not part of the true religion and that your religion is not true. You are saying that you yourself are wrong.

You seem to be confused.

It's not so much that we say it; but we're so darned PROUD of it!

If you don't perform OUR secret oops; SACRED Temple Rites®, then you ain't gonna get no certain rewards when you get to Heaven!
