But, But, I read it on the Internet so it has to be true LOL. I will say this for LDS. They are in most ways far more closer to fulfilling what Christ instructed than many other churches. It comes down to why are some so jealous? It's as old as this.

Mark ch 9 38John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t one of our group.” 39“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs miracles in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I assure you, that person will be rewarded.

This was a jealousy even the chosen 12 seemed too have. They often debated who was the greatest and Christ addressed that issue as well with them. The same jealousy still exist today among the churches as well. One wants the other too stop doing this or that because they believe they are the true authority church and all churches must do as they say or else.

What does Christ say to do?

Matt ch 25 31“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34Then the King will say to those on the right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ 37“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ 40And the King will tell them, ‘I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,£ you were doing it to me!’

41“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! 42For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me anything to drink. 43I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

44“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ 45And he will answer, ‘I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.

I kid you not I knew a Baptist Deacon who actually refused a poor family water from his well. They did not have running water. But yet he invited them too church every Sunday. Perhaps some need to stop looking at the gnat in LDS eye and check on the plank in their own church eye and address it's short comings.
