I’m not gonna go into andysandmikesmom faith, that’s for her to talk about or not. And frankly, in the atmosphere of this thread {non-productive comment self-removed by the grace of Free Republic’s preview function}

But I have to say I reject the notion that one must choose to either condemn or join a certain denomination.

While, I do not feel called to join the Church of the Latter Day Saints neither have I been given the power to the judge the faith of others.

I can see the their actions. I can disagree with their doctrine and say I don’t believe their founder. I can also see that Mormons follow both the path to forgiveness through Jesus and the most important commandments as defined by Jesus - but to judge who is Christian in their heart and how true their faith is?

That’s for God and it would be hubris for me to overstep.

And I think I can make that distinction without either joining or attacking.

BTW, I’ve heard the Pope and not a few Protestant preachers claim to represent the only true church - no denomination has a monopoly on hubris - there appears to be plenty to go around.

Well that was a positive contribution. Was that a four letter word followed by a three letter word?

So why don't you join the Mormon Church? What is wrong with it?
