@T_M_Mystic@stackerco@jesse_k_fox Themes and values is not the same as what the actual claims of the LDS church and it's prophets and apostles.
If you like vibes and values, say that. But the above claims are not substantiated in a way to say "I know this is the one true church on earth"
Yes yes but most of these basic claims of the LDS church cannot be substantiated but can be counter evidenced.
The great apostasy does not accurately describe ancient Christianity
The restoration is not in parity to ancient Christianity except in ways that other sects already operate
Nephites aren't real
So it just gets to a point where you can say "this is true for me" but you have to stop saying "this is true" or "this is the true church"
Waves are real and some occupy much space or all space at a time...
An infinite spirit that created these waves could it not do more?

God is Spirit
But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!
Am I only a God nearby, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? ... Do not I fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything elseโฆ For in him we live and move and have our being.
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
@DeseretFanatic There are waves that permeate the whole universe
Why can't God physically be everywhere at once if He is the infinite being and intelligence that created the universe

@JCRyle And who are all the TRUE prophets in the last 2000 years so we can compare?
If you canโt identify a single true prophet in 2000 years you probably are not in the true church
Ignatius of Antioch knew the Apostles, was a willing Martyr,and said the Eucharist is really Jesus...
I'll trust that witness more than some angry German dudes from the 1500s
God didn't dip
We still have little p prophets
We still have ongoing revelations
You're strawmanning and don't know what Catholicism really is
St Francis De Sales 500 years ago said Catholics have infinite prophets while Protestants have none... He successfully converted 70,000 Calvinists because these questions were so powerful. What did he mean by this?

If you actually care about the truth please go actually watch some Catholic videos because this is so far from anything Catholicism has ever taught.
We are not Sola Scriptura. The deposit of faith is not the Bible alone.
I could go on.
