Yes there are quite a few bigots around here who think their church is the only way. I think they should worry more about their own soul and not being welcome in heaven with the attitude their church has instilled in them!This from a Catholic with Mormons relatives.

Actually, you have it so badly turned around that you've replaced Who saves without perhaps realizing it.

Christians don't believe a church body, denomination, or individual church "saves" or is the "only way." (Whether it's theirs or anybody else's)

And to show even more how you have it completely turned around -- that it's actually the Mormon church that bills itself as the exclusive way -- please read these two quotes:

"This Church is the ensign on the mountain spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. It is the way, the truth, and the life" (Conference Report, April, 1961, p. 119)

Utter idolatry! Jesus Christ alone qualifies as the object of faith -- He Himself constitutes "the Way, the truth, and the life. NO man comes to the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)

The Living Way is a Person, not a church!!!

The Lds church, thru its teachings by the likes of...
Marion Romney -- cousin of Mitt Romney's father & who was one of the three highest leaders of the church in the 1960s -- has engaged in open idolatry in erecting substitutes in favor of the blood of Christ as the Living Way.

Chris, are you consistent, then? Are you quick to label the Mormon church as a bigoted bunch when you see this quote, or when you see Doctrine & Covenants 1:30 -- Lds "scripture" -- that claims that the Lds church "is the ONLY true and living church on the face of the earth???"

I think they should worry more about their own soul and not being welcome in heaven with the attitude their church has instilled in them!

Please tell us, Chris, then why Lds insist that those who are not married temple Mormons will not live forever in the presence of Heavenly Father? (And here you're worried about the "attitude" of non-Mormons?)

The 10th president-"prophet" of the church was Joseph Fielding Smith. In his book, Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol. 1, p. 81, he wrote about the so-called middle kingdom of heaven -- supposedly called the terrestrial kingdom: "Those who were honorable men who will be permitted to go to the terrestrial kingdom will be blessed with ministrations from the celestial kingdom. They will be privileged with visitations from Jesus Christ but will be denied the presence of the Father."
