Which Christ?
In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints "do not believe in the traditional Christ.” No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. – Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS Church News, June 20, 1998, p.7Do you mean the Jesus Christ of the mainstream Christian Denomination, or the LDS Christ?
Can you go against the declarations of your Prophet and President?
I didn’t realize that I was walking into a hornets nest. My original post was a plea that we as believers of Christ, though our doctrines my vary, should be able to set aside theological differences and support candidates who will best fight for the causes we agree are most important.
My church does not actively teach, or shout in the faces of evangelicals, that they and members of other Christian faiths are evil, wrong, or misguided. It seems that the posters that are arguing we do can only point to qoutes made over 150 years ago. The point is, that Mormons today, do not tell evangelicals they are wrong, nor do we refuse to overlook the good in them and refuse to vote for them. I am asking the same from evangelicals. Respect the person for who they are, not what church they go to.
Well.....
4. Do you sustain the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator and as the only person on the earth who possesses and is authorized to exercise all priesthood keys?
Do you sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators?
Do you sustain the other General Authorities and local authorities of the Church?
