No, my ignorant friend, it is Historic Christianity. Why don’t you look it up? And you might also check what used to happen to dissenters in the church?
Not hardly.
Well, you say “not hardly” and I say, “It’s not described in the Bible.”
So, there’s where we’re at....
The description of who God the Father, and the Son and Holy Spirit is — is in the Bible, not the word. The word is a label.
My cousin is an LDS Mission President. They’re closing his mission in June - I guess they aren’t having much success.
OMM,
Do as you wish. I’m not in a Protestant Church - though most teach the Gospel also. The ones that do not teach the Gospel, fail those who attend, just as LDS Churches fail by adding to the Gospel.
Telling the truth is never a smear, so if you’ve got truth to tell, please do.

And you are saying that if I don’t swallow the stuff that was excreted by the Nicean Council, I can’t be a Christian. No matter that I believe in God the Father, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (the one born in Bethlehem) and the Holy Ghost?
Much of what you wrote is partial truth twisted to appear to be a horror show. That seems to be your tactic. I have a son serving a mission. I think I have a better perspective than you do.
Well, isn’t that special.
So What?
believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
You can think what you want. I am telling the truth. And I really feel sorry for the kid, he has had the LDS church ripped out from under him.
Much of it after the first paragraph is not true.
Closing down missions? They didn’t mention that at conference did they. I wonder what else they didn’t mention?
I know better.

PRAISE GOD!
If someone teaches the Trinity is not true, it’s *non-Christian teaching*.
That’s one of the first things that was sorted out in the very early centuries, because of some who did try to teach it wasn’t true back then.
That means if a person is in a group that teaches that the Trinity is not true, that person is in a *cult*...
That’s one of the primary definitions of a cult.
Are you telling me you know this kid, and his Mission President? ROFL. Nice try. There is NO WAY you can know exactly what goes on in EVERY mission. You are not omniscient.
I provided a link to the material I pasted on this thread, which was written by a former mormon. Sounds like you disagree with him or her.
Any group that practices mind control IS a horror show.
The LDS practice many forms of mind control, as is outlined
by the rules missionaries must follow, which we could post here for everyone to see and decide for themselves.
As to your son, I’m sure you are as proud of him as a father can be. I appreciate that wherever I see it. Sons need their fathers to be proud of them.

If I told you the mission, then everyone would be able to find out who my cousin is. I am freepmailing you the info.

Once again, you seem to be confusing a particular church with the Bible...
