I was responding to what YOU said:

“they are not saved in the eyes of Jesus. “

I think this was incorrect. I think there is enough disconnect between the church and the individual. The church teaches people not to question the church. All that does is suppress what is said, not what is thought.
My friend admitted that he “went along to get along” and never really believed all of the church’s teachings.

“The church teaches people not to question the church.”

I do not know what world you live in cause we are taught to find our own answers. We are to do our own study and ask God ourselves if it is true. We have always been taught to get our own testimony.

Satan has his teachers try to convince you that Mormons are just blind followers.

It was UNDERLINED in my post; indicating that I got it from you-know-who.

That's a mighty broad brush. Just WHICH 'church' are you refering to?


Acts 17:11 (niv)

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Note that they did NOT check with other teachers, the traditions of some other believers, what some vague Personages relayed to them, what Elsie said on FR, or a burning in the busom; but the SCRIPTURES.
