I applaud your testimony of Jesus and concur with it.

Let's start here ( one bite at a time )....J. Smith, and B. Young... ( and let me remind you they ) are your religions FOUNDATIONS.

If I may be so bold...they are mormonism's "Jesus" and let's say "Paul".....I said in the previous post that no man, nor angel, nor prophet enables me to God, only the Lord Jesus.

Mormonism's history equates J. Smith with Jesus, he himself said he was "better" than Jesus. Some of your leaders have in fact lead mormons to believe that very thing.

So...you really don't concur, or if you do aren't you going against the very founders of your religion?

Right there I disagree, the foundation of my religion is Jesus Christ.

I can't stop you from being bold, and wrong. Joseph is not my savior, and like most Christians, I find such an assertion offensive.

I and the Doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints agree with you that salvation only comes in and Through faith on Jesus Christ.
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH #3
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

Joseph never said that, he said his church would not fall away. and would not have the apostasy problems Jesus' church had, he was right, he was also boasting and it's not his finest moment. U Said: Some of your leaders have in fact lead Mormons to believe that very thing.

I have never been "lead to believe that", maybe some people think that, but I am not responsible for what they think, the church does not teach that, so the church is not responsible for what people who don't believe what they teach think.

A fantastic example of a When did you stop beating your wife questions set them up as saying something they don't, then say either you agree with this offensive thing, or you disagree with your leaders, LOL!

Joseph Smith is not Jesus, not even close, and yes I agree with my leaders about that!

Now you are going to go off an find some obscure quotes, ignorant he many quotes that support what I just said, Sigh, Quote Mining prediction...
