There’s no way mormon beliefs can be said to line up with the Apostle’s Creed. Their teachings are fundamentally different from Christianity.

Just because some people are nice and decent doesn’t make them a Christian. Jesus said “You must be born again”. If a person doesn’t trust in Jesus of the Bible for forgiveness of their sins, they simply aren’t born again and will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Like I said, I wasn't interested in what some people say that Mormons believe. I asked a lot of Mormons the question..."Whence cometh your salvation?" and the answer, several times, lined up with "Belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as expiation for our sins."

And then they decked that in a lot of nonsense, but the core remains.

So, if you want to know how a Mormon is "saved"--ask some Mormons

I have all kinds of problems with Roman Catholicism practice not matching up with scripture, but when I ask a Catholic "whence cometh your salvation" I get a similar response to the above.

And people who spend a lot of time hating on a denomination that is non-violent and patriotic...well, why not go after someone else? Religious practices are inexplicable. Look to their works to see.

Yes, Mormonism's teachings are fundamentally different from Christianity.

But actually when it comes to the very specific Apostles Creed, there's really nothing there that's objectionable to Mormon doctrine.

The closest it comes is the mention of one holy catholic church (small "c"). The word "catholic" as applied to that time of the creed just = universal -- as in one universal church...not Roman Catholic with a big "C."

But, of course, the lack of Mormon provocation over details within the Apostles Creed in and of itself proves Joseph Smith to be a false prophet.

He claimed that the unnamed entities who appeared to him -- as outlined in Joseph Smith History, vv.18-20 in the Pearl of Great Price -- told him that ALL the creeds of the Christian sects were an "abomination" to them.

Mormon, tell us: What's so "abominable" about the Apostles Creed? What in its content is so objectionable?

I've looked @ Mormon doctrine in depth. There's absolutely Nothing objectionable or putrid or abominable about its content, as the entities who appeared to Smith proclaimed.

Go ahead. Read the Apostles Creed. Then ask yourself, what kind of a being of light would appear to man and claim that the Apostles Creed was an "abomination" to him? (And He didn't same some of the creeds were an abomination; he very specifically said "ALL.")

I think we know the origins of Mormonism. The Apostles Creed would only be objectionable as an "abomination" to demonic angels.
