Most of them are perfectly fine people with nice moral values but they are not Christian. Christians don’t believe in a book written by a known 19th century conman who had a multitude of wives as young as 14. Sad that so many have been deluded into thinking that his message is compatible with Christianity.
Well, as you may know, even perfectly fine -- horizontally that is -- externally identified Christians won't become heaven-based based upon their level of "fineness."
The more I think about it, I think that's actually what bothers a few non-Mormon allies who come on board these threads.
I think a few of them think, "hey, if the external morality of the Mormons isn't good enough for heaven, where does that leave me?" And so, they temporarily align with the Mormons on these threads vs. those who are perceived to attack the premise that God gives out heaven on the basis of a sort-of "grade system" -- like it was morality school or somethin'.
The problem is...it's all pass-fail. Either we get there on Christ's righteousness -- and His alone -- or we don't get there. James says if we break one part of the law, we're guilty of breaking all of it (James 2:10).
Either Christ and trusting in His perfection is our righteousness, or, we try to establish it on our own.
That...is Mormon heresy...and yet it's Biblical teaching through and through.
Whatever righteousness we display is part of the fruit of the Spirit -- and any other qualities He transmits through us.
He gets the glory in living in us as His temple.
The main temple emphasis in Mormonism is a man-made facility that will one day be destroyed without hope of resurrection.
And yet those that we would consider as intelligent (Glen Beck as an example) keep falling for this BS. Of course, as a Protestant, I believe he moved from one cult to another. But that is just me. ;-)
