Thanks for your response. I still don’t understand.

What was the purpose of Christ’s 3 day fight for our souls if not give us salvation through redemption and now LDS says there is more and it wasn’t enough?

And I do understand your belief God says LDS is required but LDS picks and chooses which parts of he Bible to stand on, while casting other parts of it aside.

How am I to know only LDS is correct and perfect.

BTW, I am approaching from only investigating LDS over the last two years after hearing a friend of 20 years tell me “Some religions are more perfect than others”. Shocking as I never heard another Christian say something like that and I don’t know how man could be in a position to assess “a system” is better than all others.

I mean, it wouldn’t be any different than saying Methodists are the only true religion and you work your way to heaven, which of course is a complete misnomer.

Or that Catholicism is the one true church or the works of Calvin, Williams or that German guy and his dissertations.

Yet you rely on the very same Gospels and read from the KJV as many Christians do.

But we are not Christians and now you are?

How can you now be Christians when for 150 years LDS railed against Christianity. I won’t bore you with the quotes, you have read them here.

Moreover, what was the problem specifically with Presbyterians, who we also consider Christians?

Thanks.

The wording of you statements/inquiries leaves me very wary of your true intent.

All of your inquiries are addressed at the links provided but I will address a few.

And I do understand your belief God says LDS is required but LDS picks and chooses which parts of he Bible to stand on, while casting other parts of it aside.

God says LDS is required? Do you mean for the highest degree of heaven? Sure. And through temple work even those who did not have the opportunity in this life can achieve that too. God loves us all and is truly just.

We don’t pick and chose which parts of the Bible to stand on at all. We have a better understanding of some of the Bible through modern revelation. We cast nothing aside. Having a different understanding is not casting aside.

But we are not Christians and now you are?

Who said you are not Christians? This is another example of wording that makes me suspect your intentions. This sounds like a statement right off an anti-Mormon website.

Statements saying we are not like the Christians of today etc from the past were accurate in that. It doesn’t equate to “railing against Christianity”. Arguably, the LDS Church is the only true Christian Church on the face of the earth today. The others are Christian denominations as well but they do not have the full gospel. The vast majority are well-meaning and good people.

Please refer to the links provided for additional information.

Thanks! - PD
