But,,, if “by their fruits you shall know them”, then something works for them. I have lived in Utah among them. I have seen the clean homes, parks, retail areas, no graffiti, respectful young people, and especially helpful and respectful clerks in store toward elderly people. I have seen their patriotism and social stability up close. I’m not even talking about their SHTF preparedness.

You should not take one scripture alone, out of context with the rest of the gospel and use it to confuse the issue and try to prove the righteousness, according to the Bible no less of a cult.

If you are going to use the Bible as a reference point for measuring the correctness of a Theology, use ALL of the bible, not just the part you think will justify your position.

I’m not trying to “prove” something. That was merely a quote that fit what I saw there. I don’t buy into much of their doctrines and dogma. I am only trying to find out what part, if any, their religion plays in their social and economic success. Why do they have so much success, patriotism, family integrity and stability? If not their religion, what then? Let’s learn what it is for ALL our benefit. Would we not all gain something from it?
