But the SIGN on every one of their 'churchs' says...

Some have (the ones SLC won't 'allow' to be CALLED Mormons!) but SLC itself says the JST is NOT to be considered 'scripture'.
SLC Mormonism has 4 books they consider to be Scripture:
The Book of MORMON
The KJV of the bible (with it's undocumented translation errors)
The Doctrines and Covenants
and the Pearl of Great Price (That contains the bogus Book of Abraham)

Some of us more talented folks can multitask.
But the SIGN on every one of their 'churchs' says...
Not very many of them around these days.
I guess politics means more to them than religion.
The best MORMON tactic is to get P's and C's to fight!
That way, they can tuck their little tails between their legs and slink away.
The other factor was that a high-reply thread at least garners the attention of others into wonderin: "What's drawing so many into this thread?" (And the curiosity factor opens the door for many to at least visit & check it all out)
Some might be to uninterested to look it up; so I'll be like the little Shake'nBake girl and say: "and I helped!"
The so-called 'CHRIST' personage said nothing...
Read it for yourself:
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven.
Chorus I am redeemed, bought with a price, Jesus has changed my whole life. If anybody asks you, just who I am, tell them I am redeemed.
Verse 1 Where there is hat, love now abides, where there was confusion, peace now reigns. I'm a child, child of the King, it's all because I am redeemed.
Chorus
Verse 2 I'll tell of His favor, I'll tell of His love, I'll tell of His goodness to me. He purchased my redemption with His own precious blood, and from sin I've been set free.
Chorus
Verse 3 There's no shackles on me, I'm as free as I can be; because Jesus changed my life. He died up on the cross, that's why I can tell the world that I am redeemed.
Chorus
Verse 4 If you run across anybody that used to know me, tell them I'm doing fine. The last time that you saw me, I was lifting up holy hands, I'll tell them I've been redeemed.
You can call me 'Redeemed'.

Works for me!
That’s OK. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I label them as a cult.
Here are some other words that address this topic; too!
(click) And that was literally written by the Hand of God...no interpretation needed.
Thanks for the ping!
Katana, you are right. i have posted a link from the catechism of the catholic church. see #845:
“outside the Church there is no salvation (extra ecclesiam nulla salus)”
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P29.HTM
The RC’s are a little slippery on that point. They do make allowances that salvation is attainable through other churches, but they still claim they are the only truly reliable way, and that all the salvation you might find elsewhere still “flows through” them.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I might let someone at our church whose mother was Catholic and father Protestant know that the nun at her school who told her that her father was going to Hell was in error. She knows that now but it was more than a little traumatic for a little girl to hear.
You’ve got some nerve calling people liberals when you are the one parroting liberal talking points about “bashing” just because someone voices a little criticism.
Yup. Funny how as soon as Mittens lost, they all vanished. Maybe they really were the true church and all got beamed up to Kolob?
snicker
Actually, Battle Star Galactica is based on the book of mormon.......really good sifi (new one not the original)
