Hi reaganaut,

Of course Jesus is the only way that salvation is possible. Latter-day Saints don’t believe that the organization of the church saves them. Christ alone can do that.

We do believe that Christ has restored priesthood authority to earth and that the authority to direct the affairs of church has been delegated by Jesus to his servants on earth. As was done in the New Testament.

Best regards,

Normandy

________________________________________

But why do you believe that He wouold EVER have to do that ???

Explain why you think Jesus ever lost, misplaced, dropped or had stolen His Church, His Bride, the Believers in Him...

How and why would that have ever happened ???

Mormons do NOT believe the Gospel of Christ.

Christ “died for the UNGODLY” alone.

Mormonism is built on the heresy of human works
proving a mormon is “worthy” of the gospel
after “all they can do”.

This is the OPPOSITE of the Gospel of Grace.

Christ established a universal priesthood of
ALL those who have trusted Him for salvation
(ie. “the ungodly” who have recognized they
have nothing to contribute to their salvation)
- nor a remix of the Jewish priesthood.

That too, is a heresy of mormonism.

In fact, there isn’t anything about mormonism
that restores anything for the true Church.

Zilch.

HOGWASH. In order to be saved (return to God the Father) you must...

be an active, faitful, tithe paying, temple endowed Mormon.

Everyone else goes to a ‘lower kingdom’.

I’m talking spiritual salvation, not physical which is what the LDS mean when they say ‘saved by Grace’.

Want me to post sources for this? You know I can - I have done it before.

There is no priesthood authority and Christ did not set up a denomination. LDS in NO WAY resembles the church of the NT, they just play at religion and give people a false sense of securityl.

Don’t lie for the Lord, Norm.

To Mormons, MORMONISM is the only way to salvation.

Christ + works is NOT Christ alone. Give it up. Mormons believe they are the only TRUE Christians. I CAN source that if you want.

Then they do NOT beleive their own SCRIPTURE!

Well; they threw polygamy under the bus after being SCARED by the US Gummint, so I guess any scripture they do NOT want to follow is fair game now.

That's funny in Matthew 28:18, the resurrected Jesus told HIS ELEVEN DISCIPLES, "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me "

At what point exactly did he get fired or maybe just decided to delegate?
