There can be no good in Mormonism. The motivation would be all wrong.

Mormonism give people nice neat little boxes, bible, definitions, rules and regulations. That isn’t what Christianity is about.

Regardless of translation, Bibles all say pretty much the same thing, pick up any parallel bible and you can see that.

Your comment “The success of many congregations is based on entertainment and a flamboyant minister.” shows you know nothing about Christian churches.

works don’t save, faith saves. All works do (once you already have faith) is show your faith to others, it doesn’t save you. Only works by those ALREADY SAVED BY GRACE can glorify God, and even then it doesn’t affect our salvation. In fact, works without true saving faith (in the Grace of Christ) will DAMN you, they are ‘filthy rags’ (literally used menstrual clothes - which contaminated everything they touched). Once again, Mormons put the cart before the horse.

It isn’t ‘my kingdom’, it is Christ’s. And I am called to judge false doctrine and that is what I am doing with the LDS. Their teachings lead people to Hell and I will not let them go quietly.

“No good in Mormonism”?

You might disagree with some doctrines, but to say that there is nothing good is absurd.

I have seen love, courage, kindness, mercy, compassion, faith, hope, charity, in the lives of Latter-day saints that have flowed from their religious convictions.And I have seen those same qualities in the lives of people from other faiths, too.

I may not agree with a faith’s doctrine, but it would be foolish of me to think there was nothing good in any faith but my own.

The Saviour said:
Matt: 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
James 2:17 Even so faith if it hath not works is dead, being alone. James, chapter 2 is about works.

We believe that “Faith” is the first principal of The Gospel. Faith and Works are important to each of us.
