Sandy, you call 'liar' but you never seem to have any evidence of same. And I understand that, because what I post is straight out of the quotes from your leadership.

Oh wait! Perhaps you don't believe the stuff and therefore you consider it not from LDS inc? Stuff like:

----god had to gain the attributes of godhood

---jesus was sired by a heavenly father and heavenly mother, so he had a beginning

---jesus then worked his way to the exalted state of one third of the godhead, one third of the troika of three separate gods working as one in purpose

----jesus had a grandfather god and a great grandfather god, etc

----the god of Mormonism was appointed as the god over the earth, and at that occasion was not yet a one-third of a godhead, but two of his offspring--jesus and holy spirit--were either appointed to the exalted positions of each one third of the godhead or earned it via their obedience to Mormon ordinances

----there can be no salvation without Mormon baptism

----someone who rejects the Savior in this life can have salvation later, if a worthy Mormon is baptized for them in a certified Mormon temple

----god couldn't keep the promise Jesus made, so a peepstone lying false prophet predator of married women had to be recruited at age 14 to restore real christianity to the world

----and last bu by no means least important, you can be saved ... after all you can do to prove yourself worthy by keeping the ten commandments so jesus will apply His atonement for your sin.

Sandy, that last one is a real doozy, because it screams Jesus died on the Cross unnecessarily for perhaps you, or the current head of the Mormon religion, because a few really, really good Mormons will be so good that they achieve exaltation and become gods of other planets in other universes. THAT is denying the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it leads to damnation because it is blasphemous, rejecting the Real Savior Who is God with us, and Whom remains with us in His person of the Holy Spirit in the human spirit of those who humble themselves and accept His Grace in Christ Jesus.

The teaching of infinite regression conveys some peculiar sense of layered eternities. But Smith used the term "beginning" as before the world was created, sending this eternities notion into an irrational contradiction of itself when Smith also claimed that the father of the Mormon Jesus was once a man on a planet, before he ‘gained‘ the attributes of godhood! And if a ‘council of gods’ is not Mormonism teaching polytheism, then pigs have wings and should be granted flight paths. And if a Mormon thinks this heresy is not a current teaching of the LDS of Salt Lake City, the following from LDS ‘Prophet’ Hinckley should clear it up:

From the 1994 LDS Conference report:
“On the other hand, the whole design of the gospel is to lead us onward and upward to greater achievement, even, eventually, to godhood. This great possibility was enunciated by the Prophet Joseph Smith in the King Follet sermon (see Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 342-62) and emphasized by President Lorenzo Snow. It is this grand and incomparable concept: As God now is, man may become! (See The Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, comp. Clyde J. Williams, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1984, p. 1)

What I believe is found in the LDS Articles of Faith but I dare not post them here because the anti Mormons trash, desecrate and trample them underfoot. Nevertheless, that is what we believe. Not what you say you THINK we believe.

P.S. “Jesus is the Lord.” This I believe with my whole heart.

“Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost”

1 Corinthians 12:3
