I know the answers to these questions even though you had to research the site instead of being able to answer them yourself. But I understand. Mormonism is maize and even those in top leadership cannot answer all questions of doctrine

Perhaps I misunderstood you. You had asked, "Does the official site address or answer these questions?" I showed you that most of the questions that you raised are addressed on the official site, and the rest have been dealt with elsewhere.

Now you say that my response indicates I could not answer the questions myself, because "Mormonism is a maize [sic]." That strikes me as a non sequitur.

The questions you posted are not new. They have been asked and answered many, many times before. It would be nice if the anti-Mormons would retire some of these stale old chestnuts and try something new. But that would be to admit that the Mormons might occasionally know what they are talking about.

I will conclude with a point I made before: When someone wants to know the truth about what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches, it pays to go to the source. Study what the Church actually says, then ask God whether it be right. If you ask in faith, with true intent, God will answer you.

I am not anti-Mormon but pro truth

I quoted truth from the Scripture about the test of a true prophet, Joseph Smith failed. Simple

Its like saying the sky is blue and you deny it.

The Word said to worship Him in Spirit AND in Truth....John 4:23-24

The difference between you and me is your allegiance to and believe that salvation comes from being in the CHURCH of Mormon.

My allegiance and salvation comes from Jesus Christ, not from any church

The Mormon church didn’t die to save you from your sins, Jesus did.

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

You say that these questions have been answered, …by the Mormon church

Unfortunately Mormons let the church answer questions for them and believe whatever the church tells them instead of seeking on a personal basis.

I would say that you need to do this for yourself "God whether it be right. If you ask in faith, with true intent, God will answer you."

I already have my answer from the Lord, that's why I am a born-again Chrisitan even though I was brought up in a different religion. I wanted the truth more than anything I had been taught or thought to be true. So I asked and sought and I found. Matt. 7:7,8
