From the article:
"With one striking exception, the LDS Church's leaders and members are, and always have been, flawed people."Mormon attitude of superiority in the very first sentence...however, what it really does is prove that the mormon Jesus is not the Jesus of Christianity.
The Christian Jesus is not, will never be and never has been a "member" of the mormon church.
FAIL, DCP

What a pleasant face ... and what a demonic religion! Touting the assertions of Lorenzo Snow tells us what we need to know of this man’s perspective. Poor ol’ Lorenzo, well educated as he may have been, proclaimed what has become known as ‘the couplet’, which is a blasphemy as old as the Garden of Eden. Mormonism has lots of blasphemies woven into the dogma of that religion, but the assertion that The God of Creation was once a man and had to earn the attributes of godhood is possibly the most destructive to the human soul. Perhaps that’s why satan tried to hint such a blasphemy to a woman who had walked with God! Now, so many generations removed from such intimate fellowship, satan just has some poor dupe put the blasphemous lie in the form of the Lorenzo Snow couplet: ‘As man is, god once was; as god is man may become.’

This is an affront to Christians, especially in this time of Lent.Blasphemy is indeed an affront to Christians. Every single day of our lives it is so. If I need to set aside special days to be more affronted than usual, I am not doing it right.

It’s the oldest lie in the book, literally. And so very easy to believe. It answers all of the deepest lusts and longings in the damaged human soul - sex, money and power.

I really do not an understanding of Mormons but I don't have a need to study them their beliefs. It's a very tangled web. Fascinating and repelling at once. But the people themselves are very decent, kind and compassionate. They are really terrific folks as a whole. And tragically deceived.

With one striking exception, the LDS Church’s leaders and members are, and always have been, flawed people.
Makes perfect sense. Since Jesus Christ leads the LDS Church he would be the leader and we all know he led a perfect life. At least I think we all know that. Perhaps someone disagrees, I don’t want to be accused of mind reading again.
Mormon Jesus is not the Jesus of Christianity? Sure he is. He is the Savior of the world. You know, the one in the Holy Bible and Book of Mormon. That’s him!
Is Jesus a “member” of the Mormon Church? If you consider the leader a member then sure. I’d say we are members of his Church though. Sounds more accurate.
Have a great day!

You know, the one in the Holy Bible and Book of Mormon.Well, since your religion casts doubt on the Bible, and I as a believer of the Bible renounce your BOM as false, we're sort of at a standoff now, aren't we.

"Nowhere in the article did the man say Jesus was Mormon."The implication is quite clear...
The "article" starts off with...
"With one striking exception, the LDS Church's leaders and members are, and always have been, flawed people..."
Who could that "exception" be? Who was not flawed? Why Jesus of course. The "exception" is part of "the LdS Church's leaders and members..." as penned by the author, so what is he implying? He's clearly implying that Jesus was/is a mormon.
Just what is the affront you're referring to? That the article was posted, or that mormons claim Jesus was/is mormon?

Is Jesus a member of the Mormon Church? If you consider the leader a member then sure. Id say we are members of his Church though. And since you consider Satan to be Jesus's brother, which part of the Mormon Church does he control?
Peep stones or the special temple underwear?

Lord "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."Lord; are we supposed to FORGIVE heresies as well?
False Teachings?

Your made up title is unnecessarily provocative.OH?
THIS is the title --> Observing weakness with charity
THIS is a comment ON the title --> [Jesus was a MORMON!]
There IS a difference.

Well, I suppose donuts do not violate the letter of the law of the Word of Wisdom, but perhaps the spirit. Ice tea doesn't either, or Coke® (Unless it's WARM, I guess.)
