[ealgeone]

Mormons are Latter Day Saints, an offshoot of American Protestantism from the 19th Century.

Yet the Mormons, like Roman Catholicism, have elevated non-inspired texts to equal status of the inspired texts.

Christianity, and there is a difference, relies upon only the inspired texts.

Christianity is historic, 20 Centuries old and Catholic/Orthodox.

You partly have this correct.

Christianity is 20 centuries old....Roman Catholicism showed up somewhere in the 300s.

We do not see witness in the NT of what Rome claims. There is no worship of Mary, no purgatory, no requirement of clerical celibacy, no papacy or the elaborate leadership structure as seen in Rome, no Mass, no praying to the saints, no reliance upon a piece of cloth to keep you out of the hell-fires, etc.

Rome has departed from the truth.
