Well again, you might be correct....I myself do not know much about Mormonisim...I have read posts on this thread from some Mormons, saying that they do believe Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation John:14-6

I am correct. I used to be LDS and I know what they mean when they say that and it isn’t what Christians mean. They use different words.

Check out this page, it is by another former member and is accurate description of how the LDS have different definitions (with sources to their writings and scriptures). Research it and research it well, don’t just assume they are Christians because they say so.

Don’t take what they say at face value. I did and ended up making the biggest mistake of my life by joining them. I thank God every day he delivered me from those chains of legalism.

Ok, but why do you assume they mean the same thing by it as you do? Or as Christians do? Because they don’t.

Mormons believe the LDS church is the ‘way’, the ‘truth’ and the ‘life’ that leads to their own godhood. I can give you sources for all of that.

Jesus tends to be a footnote (and I can link some pages where other LDS/exLDS discuss that openly).

colo, do you have that ‘Jesus is a stepping stone’ post?

TaraP, reaganaut has been there and back. She’s an amazing woman and incredibly well-educated. You’d be in good hands to talk with her.
