Two Apostles encouraged members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday, Oct. 19, to better understand the similarities and differences they have with the globe’s 1.8 billion followers of Islam.

“The two faiths are different in many of our core doctrines, but many of our values and the ways in which we practice our respective faith are similar and reflect our love of God and of our fellow man,” said Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Elder Gerrit W. Gong also of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said this should be done openly and honestly, “with appreciation that we are brothers and sisters with a common humanity.”

No matter how nice you are to the Muslims they won’t hate you any less.

Mormonism changes with the times to conform to the world’s demands, i.e. their radically shifting stances on polygamy, blacks in the priesthood, caffeine usage, etc. Watch their “prophet” soon “sanctify” homosexual “marriage,” transgender ideology, and even abortion in accordance with Democrat demands...

2 false religions

Each fails to worship the one True God

The Mormons are much closer to Islam than to Christianity.

I was about to say they both have so much in common actually.
Why not unite with mutual “understanding”?

Both worship the same god to be honest since it’s not the ONE TRUE GOD.

Very soon the Mormons will be like the Episcopalians. Socially liberal with a veneer of religion.

The charted plan of salvation and elevation to future glory is remarkably similar.

There is theologically more in common between the two than anyone ever admits. Polygamy…special dress codes, particularly for women…alcohol abstinence…specific rewards in heaven…

They ARE a matched set, both concocted out of whole cloth by fanatics.

For people who follow a gospel that teaches to destroy all Jews and Christians - they do not serve the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob; who is the one true God who brought His Son into the world to save us and to say ..."No one comes to the Father but by me."

These so called "apostles" can not change the heart or teachings of our God!

“with appreciation that we are brothers and sisters with a common humanity.”

Elder Gerrit is asleep at the wheel.

And the United Methodists.

If John Wesley was alive today he'd already would have had a Jesus whipping the Money-changers in the Temple moment with the Leaders of the United Methodist "church" for blaspheming God with the church he founded.
