Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to do exactly that. To present valid, objective, and sound reason to the true position of the Atonement and efficacy of the Cross in the Latter-day Saint believers life. Fully answering the false charge that Latter-day Saints find the Cross repugnant and deny the power of the atonement of Christ. As we have seen here, the development of the criticism presented in Hulses paper on the Mormon teaching of Christs atonement is not a true representation of the actual doctrine itself. Despite what Hulse claims. The reality is that we have seen exactly how the criticism is built upon a strawman argument, and the logical fallacies committed in asserting false presumptions of the claim. In short, Hulse does not represent the heart and soul of the Atonement as understood from a Latter-day Christian perspective, and that his arguments are superficial, lacking any sound objective reasoning to support his failed attempt at exposing the falsehood of Mormonism.

No doubt you HAVE been 'taught'.
However; you have yet to give any indication at all that Christians WORSHIP the cross; other than this accusation here.
How about some of JOHN's words??
And some more that he FORGOT to write down...

I reviewed my original reply to teppe and I actually gave the definition of a coward to describe the actions of certain mormons, although many are most certainly hypocrites.
My apologies teppe, I retract the “hypocrite” definition and correct it to read “cowardly”.
You are too kind. I would combine the two.
Well, I keep reading on another thread that kindness will conquer evil...
I worship Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible. I don’t worship the cross. The cross was where antonement took place, not is a garden.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
The mormon jesus has been a bad bad boy...
he needs to atone up his goodness muscles...
Ive been active LDS for 49 Years and Ive never been taught that the Christian Cross is murder! Ive instead been taught that worship of the Cross borders idolatry and that we should worship Christ instead of a symbol.

Meanwhile...I’ll cling to the Old Rugged Cross...
Like Paul did...
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—Romans 6:6
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1 Corinthians 1:17
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles; 1 Corinthians 1:23
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of Glory on the cross: 1 Corinthians 2:8
Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Galations 6:12
Ive been active LDS for 49 Years and Ive never been taught that the Christian Cross is murder! Ive instead been taught that worship of the Cross borders idolatry and that we should worship Christ instead of a symbol.

Meanwhile you have idolatrous symbols on top of your religious buildings
that statue of a man you call nephi
no wait its moroni...
Just what did Joey Smith end up calling that guy ???
and why is he worshipped on top of your buildings ???
Why is he/it a mere man there instead of the Cross of the LORD Jesus Christ who is God ???
Well; according to MORMONism; we ANTI's are EVIL!
Therefore, we can expect kindness just oozing out of every pore, like blood perhaps, coming our way to LOVE us into the MORMON kingdom.
