You really are out to lunch and have no clue what it is we teach.

Alma 7
10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

1 Nephi 11
13 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great city of Jerusalem, and also other cities. And I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white.
14 And it came to pass that I saw the heavens open; and an angel came down and stood before me; and he said unto me: Nephi, what beholdest thou?
15 And I said unto him: A virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins.
16 And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God?
17 And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.
18 And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh.
19 And it came to pass that I beheld that she was carried away in the Spirit; and after she had been carried away in the Spirit for the space of a time the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!
20 And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in her arms.
21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!

The Book of Mormon teaches that Christ was born of a virgin, it is our doctrine. The conception was a miracle brought about by the power of the Holy Ghost, and the result of that miracle is that Mary, a virgin, conceived a child. Genetically that child was the child of Mary and Heavenly Father (not the Holy Ghost), and there was no sexual union. What you claim we teach is as repelling to us as it is to you.

That’s twice now that you’ve been shown to be totally wrong. How many more times would it take before you realize that you have been fed a pack of lies about us?

Your problem is with your founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, not me.

You have added your own "book" to Holy Scripture which destroys your credibility. The Bible, as written by God, is complete and does not need additions by some sinful man to complete it. The "Book of Mormom" is not part of God's Holy Scripture, and, in fact, directly contradicts Scripture.

You would have to back what you claim with what God said, not Joseph Smith.

I have said this before, and I will say it again. I went to a Mormon bookstore and asked what books I should buy to understand just what you believe. The Clerk and my Mormon friend who was with me helped me purchase several volumes. I read each one carefully, as well as several copies of The Ensign. I have been educated by the LDS’s own books.

I am surprised to see the doctrine denied so often, and don’t understand why it is done. Since I do not “religion bash”, That is all I will say, but please, you have every right to believe as you do so be proud of it, don’t deny it.
