‘The Church’ is not an institution such Mormonism proclaims their being ‘the only true church’. The Church is a spiritual entity composed of those who have the earnest of an inheritance, a ‘speck’ as it were of the Holy Spirit of God in their human spirit, making their spirit alive forever more. Mormonism is all about the institution established by the sexual predator of married women, liar and conman, Joseph Smith. Yes, that institution has had some refinements since Smith ‘passed on’, but it is still absolutely not The Church. Playing games with wrods and phrases, focusing attention upon the vagaries of institutions will not redeem the smithian blasphemies at the heart of Mormonism.
And what does that have to do with the current discussion ?
