Really?
You respect mormonISM and you say you are am Elder, hum?
You probably should not defend something you apparently know nothing about.
mormonISM is a bastardization and blasphemy of the Word of God.
Jesus commanded us to call out false prophets, how do you not know that? Joseph Smith is a false prophet.
According to a pamphlet produced by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
“...Mormonism is a new and emerging religious tradition distinct from the historic apostolic tradition of the Christian Church, of which Presbyterians are a part...Latter-day Saints understand themselves to be separate from the continuous witness to Jesus Christ, from the apostles to the present, affirmed by churches of the “catholic” tradition. Latter-day Saints and the historic churches view the canon of scriptures and interpret shared scriptures in radically different ways. They use the same words with dissimilar meanings. When the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints speaks of the Trinity, Christ’s death and resurrection, and salvation, the theology and practices related to these set it apart from the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant churches.”
