@hvworlton Rather, they argue that Latter-day Saint theology constitutes a distinct religious tradition that emerged from Christianity but diverges from the historic Christian understanding of God, Christ, revelation, and salvation in ways that are both substantial and irreconcilable.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton Latter-day Saints unquestionably deserve to be represented fairly, and many criticisms of Mormonism rely on exaggerations, misconceptions, or outdated information.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton For that reason, many Christian theologians do not argue that Latter-day Saints are insincere followers of Christ.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton To acknowledge that reality is not prejudice; it is simply an honest assessment of the evidence and the historical record.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton Ultimately, the debate is not about sincerity, morality, or devotion. It is about theological continuity. A religion may be sincere, Christ-centered, and spiritually meaningful while still departing significantly from the doctrines historically affirmed by Christianity.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton The responsibility lies with those making the claim, not with skeptics to disprove it. The absence of evidence is not proof of falsehood, but neither is it evidence of truth.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton Furthermore, arguments such as “you cannot prove Jesus did not visit America” or “you cannot prove God does not dwell near Kolob” misunderstand the burden of proof. Extraordinary claims require evidence.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton They arise from modern revelations unique to Joseph Smith and subsequent Latter-day Saint leaders.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton Likewise, doctrines concerning Kolob, pre-mortal existence, exaltation, eternal progression, and the historical claims of the Book of Mormon have no precedent within the theological consensus of the early Church, the ecumenical councils, or the mainstream Christian tradition.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton These are not minor doctrinal nuances; they represent a fundamentally different understanding of the nature of God.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton By contrast, Joseph Smith taught that God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood, that faithful humans may likewise become exalted beings, and that divine personages are distinct beings rather than one eternal substance.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton Historic Christianity has consistently taught that there is one eternal, uncreated God who has always existed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three Persons sharing one divine essence.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton The issue is not whether Latter-day Saints love Jesus Christ. Many clearly do. The issue is whether the Jesus, God, and plan of salvation described in Latter-day Saint theology are the same as those taught by historic Christianity. On this point, the differences are undeniable.

[Juan Pablo Carrión @JuanpabEC]

@hvworlton However, fairness also requires acknowledging that the differences between Latter-day Saint theology and historic Christianity are profound, not peripheral.
