Hi caww,
Speaking from my own experience, the Gospel of Christ as taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is as sweet and satisfying to me now as it was when I was baptized 25 years ago. I know many, many others who are satisfied and settled and comfortable in the same faith.
In your opinion we may be deceived, but I don’t feel like I’m in a frying pan at all. I have found more that is satisfying in Mormonism than in any other religion I had previously studied or been involved with.
Best,
Normandy

That doesn’t make it from God. Satan can (and does) make things seem sweet and satisfying.
Mormonism is in direct contradiction to the Bible.
I do believe your motives are sincere...but we part company on two important issues....actually many others as well.
One is I believe that Christ ‘IS’ GOD..
But as you have stated you believe Christ is ‘A’ God....
Further that you are on your way to God-head yourself, just as the Mormon religion states. Which by the way so does Hinduism/New age and other religions rooted in paganism. All which take away from the Centrality and sufficiency of Christ....which was not to make us Gods at all. We have one God...not many persons working their way to God-ship.
There are many other falsehoods in Mormonism which are in direct opposition to the written and revealed word of God. Unfortunately the deeper into that religion one goes the more they are deceived. As with all deception, the enemy of mens souls uses, those being deceived cannot identify this is so BECAUSE they are believing that deception...which blinds them from the truth. This is why so many past members of the Mormon church and those familiar with their teachings come down hard on those teachings....they are trying to wake people out of that stupor....strongholds of deception do not let loose easily when they have someone captive in them. It's called bondage and is not based on ones comfort.
Take a look at the N. Korean people...who for years have been in bondage and only since the death of their former dear leader has any suspected that they have been mislead. Now they often have to pay with their life trying to escape...once they do they are in shock for a time once they see the truth of how life really is. This is how I see people in the Mormon church....they simply cannot see the deception.
HMmmm...
Sorry; but it is not ANYONEs 'opinion', but clear biblical teaching.
The BIBLE illustrates quite well the two PERSONAGES that appeared to JS.
Shall we discuss THEM a bit?
As to your FEELINGS, you'd make a poor Berean, for they searched the SCRIPTURES to see if what they were being taught was true.
