Perhaps if you were seeking Jesus Christ instead of a "church" then you would have found Jesus Christ -- instead of a church.
Yes, you found a Church. A very fine Church-- full of nice people and good works. But obviously you didn't find Jesus. You just found a church. It appears to me that your hope and faith is in the LDS Church and not in Christ.
You are your own parody.
You missed the point the places I been to growing up had an outline of the Lord. I was looking for Jesus Christ and he did have his own Church. Not the Church of St Steven or Peter. But Jesus House of Worship!
I read about it in the Bible is the path I was looking for!
Matt.7
13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 ¶ Beware of *false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (*Do as I say crowd,not as I do)
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. *Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?(*distort truth, slopful, don't keep the Lord commandments)
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; *but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.(* Ignores keeping the Lord commandments)
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a *corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.(* mock and continue to use "The Ends Justify The Means!")
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore *by their fruits ye shall know them.
***
(Gal.5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another

21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
(because though one say they believe really did not enter into the Striaght and Narrow gate! You all were having a free for all, with the various parts of the Lords doctrine, that is why there are over ten of thousands CHINOS- Chirsitian In Name Only!
24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
( a few years back there was a tornado in SLC and it torn many building to pieces, they have a video of the SL Temple inside was a wedding taking place out side was the tornado swriling all around the House of the Lord and nothing was harmed!
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having *authority, and not as the scribes.(at that time Jesus gave his authority to Peter until the preisthood was again from the earth an in the Latter Days when the priesthood was restored he gave the authority to Joseph Smith in this last and final dispensation!
I found all of the thing the Bible spoke about the Straight and Narrow path in
"The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!"
I had enough so call of worship that -
"Do as I say, not as I do!" Who say they can't even "Keep The Lords Commandments" for in your minds it is impossible, or unable ot discern the Holy Spirit! for they lack faith. You folks have the weakest Spiritual Muscle of Faith I have ever witness!
