That’s pretty funny...
Because here’s what you don’t understand..., there’s about 100 or more qualified Christian theologians who are standing in line behind Ravi Zacharias, waiting to back up that “cult status” of the Mormon church, in relation to basic, historic, and foundational Christianity.
And from the sounds of it, you’ll be saying to the next 100 theologians... “they’re just as bad as Walter Martin was...” LOL...
So there were also many who were learned scholars that also stood behind the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ.
They all were protecting their earthly power and authority and fear that the Lord would over rule them, as I see it as a convert nothing has changed much today.
They still are going after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints....
Matt 15
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
You know, the Mormon church can keep trying to play the martyr, they can keep trying to go back to that “old saw” about the traditions of men... but all it’s doing is showing that you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time.
On the one hand, the Mormon church keeps trying to put over on people that they are really a Christian church teaching those Christian doctrines — and then, quickly shifting to the other side of the mouth, the Mormon church proceeds to tell how the “Christian church” really is only promoting the “doctrines of men” — and that “we” (the Mormon church) has the true and restored Gospel (never mind that they add several authoritative books to the Bible, and then say the Bible is only true where correctly translated (or some mumbo jumbo like that).
Then, as soon as someone points out that the Mormon church isn’t teaching Christian doctrine, it’s time to shift back to the other side of the mouth — done quickly and smoothly — and start maintaining that “we’re Christians just like everyone else”. It’s the fanciest two-step you’ve ever seen... LOL...
