pharisees and sadducees?
LOL
The main gripe with LDS is their claim that all of us are apostates and whores of Babylon.
They have griped about Christianity for 150 years and now all of the sudden, so they can mainstream their religion, they are now Christian?
Notice, they “are Christian”. Never “I am a Christian too” or “I am a Christian like you”.
They always use the term in its objectified and exclusionary form “I am Christian” (you are not).
Now, it would be just so great of LDS would go through a reformation and become part of the larger body of Christ but they can’t. Otherwise there is no restored church and LDS becomes irrelevant or diluted.
When they stop running the rest of us into the ground I’ll get over it.
Until then, I don’t believe they are the one true church, they have ordinances and keys(giving them some kind of power I have yet to observe), their rites, rituals and handshakes are absolutely Masonic(I am a Mason), They believe in direct contradiction to God that well... they can become a god and since God is a jealouse, never sees another beside him, etc. I just don’t see how that kind of thinking is going to work out well.
At least Pharaoh figured it out after taking it on the chin a few times.
Good post, Vendome.
