Mormonism is going to be forced to address these issues, or continue its melt down in membership.

Either the ‘orthodox’ mormonism wins out - then the emphasis on them being ‘christian’ will die down with greater emphasis on separation. Or the professors at byu will win out and dilute fundamental mormon doctrines such as the alleged factual history of the bom to be substituted as an allegory or spiritual story. More acceptance of the Christian doctrine of grace displacing traditional works based salvation.

You and I have both have been saying something to that effect for a while. The LDS are going to have to mainstream to survive. At some point a great “prophet” will come forth and set everything straight, explain away the BOM perhaps as some test of the faithful or something. It will come to pass somehow. Probably end up in some mix of old school Protestantism.

Hey if that happens will you and I be “prophets”....
