Everyone has an opinion on this issue, but the only valid opinion is God’s. His opinion is written in Scripture.

I can agree with you there. But I can't agree that every self-appointed loudmouth's private interpretation of scripture is the only correct one.

That's sort of like the libtard's proclamation that their interpretation of the constitution is the only correct one.

I'm rather confident that Jesus will tell us which organized religion (if any) has a monopoly on the truth when he comes again.

I'm equally confident that he is going to look more kindly on those of us who were actively working together to keep back the hordes of godless liberals, sodomites and Islamofacists rather than nitpick against people doing the same because they didn't pass our personal Christian purity test.

And while I don't believe we can work our way into heaven without accepting Jesus Christ but in doing good works, neither do I believe we can earn our way there by making all the right professions of faith but in doing rotten works.

If your heart is set on continuously throwing mud at one of the most conservative voting religious sects in America, then I would not only question whether you are really a conservative, I would also question whether you really are a Christian.

Christ reaching out to the Samaritan woman is far more indicative about how real Christians behave.

There is a simple analogy which addresses the divide between Christianity and mormonism.

Here's the analogous situation, borrowed from Freeper William Clark, illustrating how one can have faith in 'a' Christ but not the true Savior Christ:

"I always like to use the analogy of Jim Caviezel [In Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of The Christ']. Like the Mormon Jesus, he dressed the part, spoke the same words (in the original language, no less), and was referred to as Jesus Christ within a specific context, but it makes all the difference in the world whether one worships and depends upon him for their salvation or the genuine article."

We agree on almost all points, but private interpretation doesn’t factor in this discussion. The Bible is clear on the issue, to the point of being painfully obvious.

When we say we believe in truth, we are saying that there is only one truth, because truth is exclusive: the Law of Non-contridiction teaches us that. There cannot be multiple truths when dealing with systemized theology. It is mathematically and logically impossible.

I contend for the faith, I do not rip people for sport. I love mormons and pray they will examine their theology in the light of Scripture.

I ABSOLUTELY agree!

Fail. They aren’t the most conservative sect, more lies from LDS HQ.
