Itโs offensive because you teach Jesus is Satanโs brother. Itโs offensive to see humans reduced to such an extreme level of gullibility over two hundred years of breeding out critical thinking.
People genuinely searching for Jesus, stumble unknowingly into your โangel of lightโ inspired church.
Itโs offensive to the gospel.
It leads people to Hell.
Joseph Smith was a false prophet
He was an adulterer
He was a con man
Lied about translation (Book of Abraham).
But Mormons canโt ask questions about any of these issues, theyโll be punished, forced to step back into line.
โI was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: โthey draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.โโ

How about we go further than saying youโre not Christian and just go ahead and say your doctrines are an abomination.

@collegefandave Letโs see what Christ would say: โFor false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.โ
Matthew 24:24
@SolveableSea@jhow0089 Why the localized post-ascension visit to America if the Spiritโs universal ministry (meant to make Christ present everywhere) was the point of His departure in John 16:7? A separate being โunited in purposeโ couldโve been there at the same time.
@BasedMikeLee Mormons teach Christ as a created being. Christians know Christ is the creator, uncreated. So, those are two separate Jesusโ.
Mormon gospel is โworksโ based gospel. You say it right there in the quote. โa foundation on which you must build.โ โif you build, you cannot fail.โ
