I suppose you could quote a thousand pastors saying something that is not politically correct by today’s standards and use that against some denomination. This is what was done here. You may have your fun quoting from the 19th century to your heart’s content. If some quote makes a good anti-mormon vehicle you may use it. There are thousands here that need a daily anti-mormon piece. Be sure when you post you never look at the other side. That is important. And yes, we do believe in the restoration of the Gospel in it’s fullness, long lost during the dark ages. I suppose looking through the glasses of the restoration, we would look askance at the remnants of a forgotten purity with regard to other Christian groups. However, much has changed and we generally have good relations with most Christian groups. I have a family full of Baptists and Methodists and Catholics. We get along. My children went to Catholic and Protestant schools. They were nice people.

One critical flaw in your argument is that the statements of a thousand pastors cannot be equated with the statements of men who, at the time they made the statements, were proclaimed (by themselves and others) as being the unique mouthpieces of God, every bit as authoritative in their proclamations as Jesus and the apostles.

And we’re not talking about “political correctness,” either. We’re talking about contradictions between official LDS teachings and the Bible; and often between LDS teachings and your own scriptures.

Thanks but it still doesn’t answer the question. What from the original post is untrue?
