I have read several of those sources thoroughly and nothing I have read rebuts the things I’ve read on this thread or other threads pointing out differences between the Christian church and LDS beliefs.
I’ve seen you post this very same reply to several threads. If you’re truly interested in people learning the truth about your beliefs, it would help those of us who truly wonder what you believe to engage in a conversation.
Thank you for noticing the difference fourpeas - it is an important distinction. For years, a lot of these types of mormon articles have had little exposure - at least until the internet. Many of us who post here believe it is important for others like yourself to really SEE behind the curtain, in a manner of speaking, and gaze upon the teachings that the mormon church would not like to have so widely publicized to the uninitiated.
It is really about truth and the search for truth -
A museum curator (you) receives an offer to sell a previously undiscovered Rembrandt (mormonism). The dealer of this painting (paragon) would like for you to accept its authenticity based only upon feelings and emotions (the Moroni challenge). He provides 'experts' to verify the painting (his list), yet these sources are not independent but would gain from the transaction.
What should you do?
You should seek other experts who do not stand to gain from the sale of this painting. They would examine the style, canvas, paint composition, (mormon doctrine, teachings, writings) etc. to determine if it is a real Rembrandt (real Christianity) or not.
You caught the key fourpeas - the deflection from providing definitive answers - because those answers will only serve to show in the light of day that mormonism is not Christianity.

Interesting because I can find good information on any and every “issue” the anti-Mormons bring up in 30 seconds or less typically.
I have to conclude that either:
You already have your mind made up and are pretending.
You are one of the anti-gang playing a little game.
I tend to doubt your sincerity especially based on your choice of wording “differences between the Christian church and LDS beliefs”.
But, if you seriously want to engage in conversation, this board is hardly the place to do it. By all means do read all they have to say but seek answers elsewhere too.
There are links to speak with official Church personnel as well as “apologists” on a few of those sites. If you are sincere I am sure you can find someone to “engage” you.
