Then WHY are you in this thread; carrying their water?

I don't agree with Catholic Dogma but I defend their right to believe it and consider them Christian by their confession. The same with many churches. Actually though there are indeed some churches in the U.S. that though they believe in GOD do not believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. LDS is not such a church.

What I am talking about goes back several hundred years to England and a group coming to this new world called Deist. Among the most well known of their sect was the man who penned our nations Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson. He also edited what is commonly called The Jefferson Bible. It basically was called IIRC the Parables of Jesus Christ with absolutely all references to His Deity as Lord and Savior removed. Today we know that church as Universal Unitarians.

Funny thing is I don't see threads bashing Thomas Jefferson or a considerable number of that sect who followed that doctrine. Sad to say Deism can not bring Salvation nor the notion GOD created the heavens and earth and abandoned it.

I do not see such rejection in LDS. You might but I don't. I'll also point out to you that in the earliest days after the Resurrection of Christ there was some very sharp theological difference between ones like Peter and Paul. It took The Holy Spirit to resolve that issue. I believe in the same manner when Christian Churches are not quite in line with The Will Of GOD but seek Him in earnest heart their correction comes through The Holy Spirit. That is true for any church and not aimed as such to Mormons, Catholics, Charismatics, Snake Handlers, Holy Rollers, etc.

Such as what? A real difference - or a personal failing. be specific.

(Well, let us know when Jefferson's spirit starts showing up in the Mormon St. George temple just like the Signers of the Declaration of Independence supposedly did -- to declare his (R) candidacy & we'll at least sift thru whether this is really Jefferson's spirit wanting an extra White House term...or a masquerading demon ...see Lds Temple Haunted? Did Declaration of Independence signers appear as ghosts to leader? [Vanity] ... Until then, somehow his anti-supernatural Bible isn't quite as politically relevant re: vetting)

Oh, and btw, since we have these "spirits" conversing with Lds "prophets" -- like Lds to be "prophet" Wilford Woodruff...upon what grounds do Mormons claim that demonic spirits wouldn't similarly masqueradingly appear to the current or next Lds "prophet" to convey/command something to a White House sitting president?
