It has nothing to do with my feelings. I merely pointed out there are significant differences between the theology of mormonism and historic Christianity. No Christian denomination accepts mormonism within Christendom, and throughout its history mormonism openly admitted it was vastly different from historic Christianity.

Using Christian terminology on your part doesn’t diminish the differences in interpretation. Mormons like you seem to want it both ways. You want to be accepted into mainstream Christianity, while at the same time you want you keep your exclusivity that mormonism is the only organization that knows the truth.

There can be NO spiritual unity between Christiantiy and mormonism, since their respective teachings are based upon vastly different interpretations. If you want political unity, then go spend more time on the political forums.

It's a matter of truth...and the major barrier to Unity is Truth and always has been. Truth by it's nature is EXclusive NOT INclusive and will always divide...it's not intended to unite as many religions are headed today...because truth is divisive.

TRUTH MUST ALWAYS COME BEFORE UNITY!....Unity before truth leads to deception and apostasy. It is far better to be divided by truth then united in error. Whenever someone makes a truth statement about anything by implication they automatically exclude all contrary opinions from being equally true...therefore a line is drawn in the sand where there cannot be unity.

Example: "The truth is God is Yahweh"....."The truth is God is Allah".

Jesus was divisive as He is the truth:

"..."so the crowd was divided about him" Jn7:43

...."the people were divided about him" Jn10:19

....Jesus said.."Don't imagine I came to bring peace to the earth I came not to bring peace but a sword" Matt:10:34

....Even when Paul spoke of Christ the people were divided about their opinion of Him. Some sided with the Jews, some with the apostles.

You cannot unite the world in any sense until it has been united spiritually. ..and since there are only two Spiritual Kingdoms..(Kingdom of Light...Kingdom of Darkness), mixing these cannot truly occur by the Interfaith Dialogues occurring now...rather what will develope from these is a completely false religion and as mention prior it is mixing truth with lies....such as the Mormon Church has done since it's inception...and since identified as such it WILL be inclusive with the one world religion as it develops...of which the Mormon Church is and will be a part of.

Interfaith Dialogue for Mormons seeks to mix truth with lies... But because the UN and other World leaders are pushing for Unity...and since truth divides, the only solution is to "pretend" there is no such thing as "Absolute Truth"...rather there's your truth and my truth...so contradictory opinions are both right....which is a lie.

The Christ of Mormonism is not the Christian Christ..many over the centuries have used His name to qualify their teachings as the Mormons have. Christianity does not accept Mormonism because they have identified the False Christ of Mormonism for what it is..a counterfeit Christ. As well their leadership have proclaimed the Jesus they serve is not the same as the Jesus which Protestants and other Christian denominations serve.
