I believe that your grandson is learning early that mormons are holier than thou.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — News reporters and editors from around the country were urged to allow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to define themselves rather than to exclusively look to sources outside the church for definitions of what it means to be a Mormon or to explain LDS doctrine or history.
"Define us by who we are and by our central beliefs rather than who we are not or by obscure or irrelevant beliefs," Michael R. Otterson, managing director of public affairs for the LDS Church, said during a Thursday morning session of a conference called, "Politics and Religion: Getting it Right in 2012."

Otterson identified for the journalists what he considered the five most common stereotypes of members of the LDS Church — that they are not Christian, that they belong to a cult, that they are insular and secretive, that they are weird and that they practice polygamy.
--snip--
Otterson explained that members of the church are troubled when they are described as not Christian "because that suggests we are not followers of Jesus Christ, and Christ's divinity is a foundational belief in our faith."

I think your chosen religious organization 'taught' that to him.
On a side note:
#7 Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
...my grandson (age 6) attended VBS that was put on by the Lutherans and the 7th Day Adventists...
And I thought that POLITICS made for strange bedfellows!
The LORD Jesus Christ: “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by Me.” John 14:6
Sandy the Mormon: I believe that with all my heart. Jesus Christ is my Advocate with the Father.

Lets look at the Christian Bible verses concerning sinners
of which you state you are one...
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

they don’t know Heavenly Father!” He said “They don’t pray right” because they don’t pray to Heavenly Father and end in “In the Name of Jesus Christ - Amen.” I thought that was really cute of him and insightful. I believe the Holy Ghost taught that to my grandson.
______________________________________________
I dont
The Holy Ghost doesnt pray right either...
He doesnt know anything called “heavenly father” either..
So dont go blaming the Holy Spirit got your wrong teaching to your family...
and if you dont want anyone “slurring” your religion...
what are you doing teaching children to disrespect the religions of others ???
However just disregard from now on what you dont like about our truths on Mormonism...
we are just being cute...
correct, and cute...
I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ...
...The Trinity is a man-made concept.

You saw a picture of me somewhere?
I’m feeling good. we were just remembering Stella today, well, everyday...
She was a good girl and all of us had a lot of fun with her.
Got nothing but good memories and I still hear her laughter and her teasing me.
What a stupid comment by the author of the article...it will only raise questions in the minds of readers about "WHAT obscure or irrelevant beliefs??" and they will be looking for them! ROTFL!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, right Sandy?
I believe that your grandson is learning early that mormons are holier than thou.
Best one yet!
That's why I never heard the Lord's Prayer in a mormon church....according to them, Jesus got it wrong!
I even checked the Joseph Smith translation of the bible, which the LDS sect discarded as a fraud, and the Lord's Prayer was not changed a bit.
Jesus Christ to the Thief: Luke 23, KJV
42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Brigham Young on Thieves
If you will cause all those whom you know to be THIEVES, to be placed in a line before the mouth of one of our largest CANNON, well loaded with chain shot, I WILL PROVE BY MY WORKS WHETHER I CAN METE OUT JUSTICE to such persons, or not. I WOULD CONSIDER IT JUST AS MUCH MY DUTY TO DO THAT, AS TO BAPTIZE A MAN for the remission of his sins. (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, pp. 108-109)
Where is MOLLY’s video?
Is she too caught up in making muffins?
"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859 ]
Denying the 'truths taught by your predecessors in leadership of LDS inc' is not being a good Mormon, Sandy. So we can assume you agree with the above spirit of anti-Christ? When will you teach this to your precious grandson.
I see where this article has hit a nerve. Here’s the deal: I have my faith; you have yours. So long as Jesus Christ is our Savior, He is the main focus. Problem arises when you and the other anti Mormons continuously accuse us Mormons of having a different Jesus from your Jesus. My Jesus is the One who suffered and died to save me from my sins. Silly me. I thought we were discussing the same Jesus who died for all of us but apparently YOUR Jesus didn’t die for Mormons; He only died for your religious members.
Anyway, you can try to muddy the waters by digging through endless quotes taken out of context from historical writings but the fact remains that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior and the Savior of the world.
Merry Christmas!
Not in the way mormons do SD. But I give you credit - you are very 0bamaesque in your cherry picking the words from your prophet. So much for your lds propaganda line "we're Christians just like you eh? You've just confirmed mormon ego-centrism by relegating all others to non-Christian status - yet you want to be called 'Christian' too. LOL, thanks for the early Christmas gift - the gift of exposed mormon hypocrisy.
