FOF,
It is instructive that the foundation of the mormonite religion is a lie - that Christ’s Church would fail.
It has a second foundation stone that also allows the individual mormonite follower to swallow all subsequent lies...
telling potential converts to “pray” about whether the booklet of moroni is “true” or not.
By doing this, they hope to move the person from the basis of objective faith onto subjective ground. Once the convert accepts feelings as the basis of truth, he can move to the next [more bizarre] stages.
These include swallowing such mormonite teachings as:
God used to be a man
There is also a Mother God
You can become a god yourself
Spirit babies are just lined up in heaven, waiting to be born into an earth suit
The deeper you go in mormonism, the more bizarre it becomes, until you realize the horror of what it is.
Mormonism doesn’t have anything in common with Biblical Christianity at all, except the Name of Jesus Christ. Even then, they mean a pathetic, created spirit being, who later came to earth to get a body and later became a god.

Hi ampu,
I find the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be very much in harmony with the Bible. I have come back from Church today where I have learned about the love of God and the mercy of Jesus Christ, about service, kindness, baptism, healing, chastity and prayer, to name some of the topics brought up in meetings and lessons.
We do believe that God did not stop his revelations with the Bible — we don’t hold that the Bible is the only scripture. We believe that he has provided more light and knowledge to the world through additional scripture revealed to prophets ancient and modern.
Best,
Normandy
