The best reason to leave the LDS?

Finding salvation through Christ alone, not works and not a church.

Indeed! Salvation is in a Living Person, Jesus Christ. Not a church.

Jesus Christ is the Only Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) -- no matter how hard that Mitt Romney's father's cousin, Marion G. Romney, tried to contend 50 years ago that the Mormon church was the "way, the truth, and the life." Romney took John 14:6's wording -- and applied it to a religious structure at an Lds General Conference in the early 1960s.

So are you saying that you stay home on the Lord’s Day and don’t go to church?

Church is very important to me, and I bet it is very important to you......I bet Sunday mornings find you in church, despite what you said above.

JD 2:75-76; “The words contained in this Bible are merely a history of what is gone by; it was never given to guide the servant of God in the course he should pursue, any more than the words and commandments of God, given to a generation under one set of circumstances, would serve for another generation under another set of circumstances…The Bible is not a sufficient guide; it is only the history of the people who lived 1800 years ago. The history of our Church in this day, presents the scenes and transactions of this people—the revelations and words of God to them…”

Well this statement is plenty reason enough to... run...not walk....away from these people!!!! I am certain our Father in Heaven would have much to say about people who put so little weight on His word.
