Anyway. My statement was 100% correct. Twist things all you want. Corrupt doesn’t mean not Christian. It means corrupt, aka no longer fully correct.

Ah PD, you also forget that it is associated with a complete apostasy. Did you forget that missionary lesson? Please check Gospel Principles p 105, which states that Christianity ceased with the death of the apostles. How can one be a Christian when Christianity has ceased PD. Read what your apostles and prophets said about Christianity in JoD sometime PD. No, your statement does not reflect the orthodox teachings of mormonism PD. Anyone who is an apostate, corrupt, of the church of the devil cannot be remotely called a Christian in the manner you claim to.

Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness.”
I’m damned for not being a mormon.”
You quote one thing, twist it and say another. /sigh So typical.

PD, the only twisting is by you on this point. First you failed to cite my statement fully, you left out "Will everybody be damned, but Mormons? - Hmmmmm, the prophet smith didn't refer to himself as "Christian" but as 'mormon'. Being a Christian is to be damned by smith.

The rest of your babble is just more of the same old propaganda. Nothing new. Not a valid issue in sight. All addressed a thousand times.

Lurkers will note the "rest of this babble" consisted of 1 Nephi where all Christians belong to the church of the devil - the whore of babylon - really a strong definition of mormon views on Christianity eh? As well as more recent teachings by apostle McConkie.

You are a Christian, same as me. Your twistings cannot change that.

No PD, epic fail again. I've documented that orthodox mormon doctrines and teachings consider Christianity not to be "Christian" but of the devil. Therefore you statement "same as me" is not only incorrect, but is intellectually dishonest as well. No twisting is necessary as the objects of our faith are not the same - even as former prophet hinkley stated that your Jesus is different from my Jesus. No PD, just your opinions - no citation of mormon doctrines or teachings of the apostles or prophets to support your claim - just your say so. Please refute your prophets - for they show you to be wrong.

Can one reject all the tenants of the basic tenets of mormonism — that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, that the bom is true and divinely inspired, that god was once a man who progressed to godhood through keeping the laws and ordinances of the Mormon Church, and that the mormon Church was divinely established — the mormon church would reject such a person’s claim to being a mormon.

Nor can one be called Christian while rejecting all the fundamental doctrines of historic Christianity.

Nice try - epic fail on your part.

I don't know that we teach that...

I’ll have to nickname you Chubby Checker because you love to twist. Laughable and yet sad at the same time. My statement stands 100% true.

While true Christianity ceased to exist. Corrupt forms still exist(ed). Many doing much good for the world.


“Will everybody be damned”


I guess we’ll have to disagree on what is meant by this. Twist away my friend.

And we don’t. The LDS Church IS historic Christianity restored.


Have a great day Mr Checker.
