“More and more, the LDS Church wants to be regarded as a ‘mainline’ Christian church”
Actually, you are wrong about that. We just want people to know that we believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and the Savior of the whole world. And it would be nice if “mainline” Christian church people would stop telling Mormons what they think we believe.
Right on!
In truth; the LDS Church wants to be known as the ONLY CORRECT Christian church.
Actually, you are wrong about that.
Am I? Let's look at your next sentence...
We just want people to know that we believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and the Savior of the whole world.
Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd say you just proved my point.
And it would be nice if “mainline” Christian church people would stop telling Mormons what they think we believe.
Which part did I have wrong? Baptism for the dead? Men becoming gods?
