They just want to bash Mormons, not learn anything of value.

no, thats not it in the least Dan - my point all along has been that the LDS consider themselves in the same company as the balance of the Christian body -

The balance of the body believes in a trinity

LDS believe in three separate personages as evidenced by your post 190

By not accepting the Nicene creed = which was a reaffirmation rather than a pronouncement, your churc is not consistent with the balance of the Christian body

So to characterize yourselves as Chrsitian is really inaccurate as you consider Christ to be of a different nature than Prots and Catholics

and that is plainly deceptive

To: Revelation 911
By not accepting the Nicene creed

Which is based on doctrines taught by Tertullian who left the church because the Bishop of Rome rejected his revisionist doctrine.

Eventually Constantine and the council he convinced accepted the teaching of a non member.

However, as it says in his biography his writings were so rhetorical and hard to understand, you could read anything into his doctrines.

That is why they adopted his teachings. Each could then interpret what he wrote, they way they wanted.

The question then is: If the Bishop of Rome rejected his new doctrine, and he knew him better than we do, why should we accept his revisionist doctrine now?
