Its still the book that is considered authoritative and used by Christian seminaries when teaching about the cult groups. You may not know it, but Mormons are considered study material when seminaries study about cult groups....

Like I said we are all free to choose to follow the Lord or choose to be among the millons of puff up sanctimonious beings living on earth!
You said — “Like I said we are all free to choose to follow the Lord”
Well, certainly — the Mormons are free to follow Joseph Smith’s definitions of who the Lord is (again, according to Mormon theology and not what Christians say).
The dispute has *never* been on the issue of whether you can follow what you want to or not (even if it is from what Christians consider to be a *false prophet*, namely Joseph Smith). The issue is not whether you can follow your false prophet. That’s perfectly fine for you to do.
The issue is that your false prophet does not have anything to do with the basic, historic and foundational teachings and doctrines of Christianity. That’s all that is being talked about here, when it is pointed out that the Mormon church is a cult group. It is a cult group by *Christian definition*. It always has been and it always will be — by Christian definition.
So, feel free to follow any wild idea you want. That’s not what anyone is saying a single word about. It’s the lying from the Mormon church that the Christian church is complaining about, the lying to the general public trying to say that it is basically a Christian church (just like the others), when the Mormon church teaches something radically different than Christianity...
