Dallin H Oaks:
"Book of Mormon teachings contradict the erroneous assertion that the grace of God saves only a chosen few.
The Book of Mormon teaches that our Savior inviteth “all to come unto him … ; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.” His grace is for all. Similarly, the Book of Mormon tells us that the children of God in “every nation” have His promise that He “manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost.”
@DylanJDodson Unless you received direct revelation from God about which teachings are truth vs false, you are in no position to render judgement on the matter.
@DylanJDodson Why not both?
Show me your faith without works and I'll show you my faith BY MY WORKS.
Not that works have salvific power, just that a person converted to Christ will do those works, and by those works you may believe his conversion.
Mormons believe God the Father once was a man on earth.
This is not Christian teaching it is anti-Christian teaching.
Joseph Smith taught: “It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God. … He was once a man like us; … God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 345–46).
Somebody once asked me why we spent $11B on the SLS rocket. I remind them that the USA LOSES $200B annually. TiL Americans lose $800B annually to gambling...
If you believe the church that Christ founded encountered immediate and ever growing corruption, but flatly reject any possibility this could happen to the restored gospel brought by Joseph Smith then you are worse than the Catholics who worship Mary
Mormonism preaches a different gospel & a different Jesus.
"Jesus, according to scripture, is the truly eternal God, not created, always existent as God, the creator of all things."
- @PastorNinja
I desperately want my Mormon friends & those online to know, love, and serve the REAL Jesus Christ.
Don't act like The Left. My disagreement with you is not "hate". I share the truth because I love you all.
I challenge every Mormon on X to REPOST 🔁 this quote from your own church’s 5th president. Let’s see how many of you are willing to publicly stand behind it.
“As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be.”
— Lorenzo Snow, 5th President of the LDS Church

@PetGorilla Another fun one is how did they know what a crucifixion was?
Oh right, they didn't. That's why the scripture says they came forward and put their hands in his side first. Kill shots to the chest they understood well.
