Osage, why are you being deliberately thick?

I said that one must accept Smith as a prophet to be saved by the Gospel which was restored through him.

I said that one is saved only through the Grace of Christ.

The two statements are in no way contradictory.

The fact that Smith restored the Gospel does not make him a source of Grace. I never intimated such a thing, and the fact that you have accused me of doing so is a demonstration of blatant misrepresentation on your part.

One more example of how the anti-Mormon twists LDS doctrine to suit his own purposes.

You are amazingly vacuous saying, quite openly, that to receive salvation (one presumes even you understand that you aren't saved until you receive it) you must accept the peepstone sexual degenerate as a prophet. Oh! Excuse me, you said you must accept Joe Smith as a prophet in order to receive salvation. The ‘peepstone sexual degenerate’ part was a dramatization.

Tant...you are so deluded & deceived it's sad.

The two statements are very contradictory...and anyone not deceived can see it.

It's quite amazing really...the power that cults have on people.

Circular logic.

YOU qwrote the statement.

It was TWISTED to nothing - it was merely read at face value.

If YOU cannot write things in English that CAN'T be taken at face value; it ain't our fault.

Quit trying to BLAME us for YOUR shortcomings.

(It makes you sound so... so... Liberal!)
