I don’t think we are “Apostates and Whores of Babylon” but they most certainly do.
Who’s that hate-uh?

Vendome how do you arrive to that conclusion?
When the doctrine of the Church adheres to the words of Jesus in
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The doctrine of the Church believes in the 3 degress of glory, therefore if one choose not to accept the covenant of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but stills believe in Jesus Christ, according to the Church they would still receive a degree of glory and not resign to outter darkness as you claim!
Thank you for bringing that up. It illustrates something I've often wondered about. Where did Jesus teach the '3 degrees of glory'? I've wondered about that yet have yet to find a Biblical reference. Can you help?
Thank you Resty and that is my understanding of the difference in doctrine.
I may be wrong but “when” did Mormons actually start considering themselves Christian.
By that I mean, when did they become inclusive to and of the rest of Christianity.
It had been my understanding for the last two years they were completely separate and distinctly different with all other “sects” being inferior or subsumed to theirs.
I’ll check in later. I have to eat something. I am starving.
And....HERE is the "degree of glory" that is being referred to if one does not "accept the covenant of the mormon church"...
The Lord compared telestial glory to that of the stars (see D&C 76:81). Those who shall inherit this kingdom are those who:
• Rejected the gospel, the testimony of Jesus, the prophets, and the everlasting covenant (see D&C 76:82, 101).
• Were liars, sorcerers, adulterers, and whoremongers (see D&C 76:103).
• Loved “and [made] a lie” (D&C 76:103).
Among other blessings and limitations, those who inherit the telestial kingdom will:
• Suffer the wrath of God on earth (see D&C 76:104) and not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, which will take place after the Millennium (see D&C 76:85). 3
• Be denied the Savior’s fulness (see D&C 76:86).
• Be able to receive the Holy Ghost through the ministration of beings in higher glories (see D&C 76:86–88).
• Never be able to come where God and Christ dwell.
NOTE: " Rejected the gospel, the testimony of Jesus, the prophets, and the everlasting covenant (see D&C 76:82, 101)." is mormon-speak for rejecting the mormon religion.
This is an example of lies told continually by mormons, about mormon doctrine.
So let me clarify your statement: The doctrine of the Church believes in the 3 degress of glory, therefore if one choose not to accept the covenant of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but stills believe in Jesus Christ, according to the Church they would still receive a degree of glory and not resign to outter darkness as you claim!
Because I believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God but do not accept lds, I get a second chance and still go to heaven, if you are correct.
But If I am correct and lds is a fraud, you get no second change after death - you go to hell.
