Yes...I am fully aware of this Mormon claim.

As you are aware, at the least, given Joseph Smith's fraud conviction related to his "seeing stone",the missing golden tablets and the not-so ancient egyptian language funeral documents (and of course the requirement from Deut. 18, which requires prophets to be 100% accurate 100% of the time)...this claim becomes somewhat dubious.

Given that you obviously have done some research already into anti-mormon rhetoric then maybe you can understand why we aren't answering what is actually a very very simple question answered by a simple browsing of mormon.org and what is also covered early in lesson two or three of the missionary lessons.

By your followup posts we can tell that you are not actually interested in an answer and probably already know what the answer is. It doesn't take long at all for questions and questioners to show their true colors in the questions asked.

We answer honest questions. We do not answer people that have no interest in honest questions.

So tell us what salvation is and how do we get it?

And then exaltation and hell.

I have gone to mormon.org...but restornu, in his/her previous post referencing salvation and Jesus Christ, referenced salvation in a way that attempted to equate the Mormon doctrine of salvation with the Orthodox Christian doctrine of salvation.

As they are obviously two distinctly different things, and given restornu's allegations about the "anti-mormons" misquoting true Mormon doctrine, I thought that he/she would take the opportunity to define it for everyone (with the absence of any "anti-mormon" bias, of course).

Unfortunately, restornu has been unwilling or is incapable.

How in the world is factual history anti-mormon rhetoric?

As recorded in history, Joseph Smith was taken to court for defrauding business men with his "seeing stone".

Have the golden tablets been found?

As recorded in history, did experts not identify Jospeh Smith's evidence of an ancient egyptian language as a funeral document and not what Jospeh Smith claimed?

Is not the biblical requirement/standard for a prophet to be 100% accurate 100% of the time? The Bible says that if he isn't, then he isn't a prophet. This is fact...not anti-mormon rhetoric.

We answer honest questions.

Which, being translated, means:

"We question honesty".
