I am happy that Lynn has come closer to Christ (as it obiviously didn't happen before). I've stated multiple times I try to avoid peronsally attacking her or anyone else. May she have a good faith journey. But when a person publishes a book with a bunch of information that doesn't remotely...

When a person walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

Prayer Warrior, it would be downright hypocritical and horrible scholarship to use a duel standard. Now: how does a person best learn about what another person believes? Should they go to an ex faith member? Or should they just ask that person?

You are advocating for the use as an ex-member converted to a different faith of as your authority. SO yes, you are advocating that all Christian seekers ask ex-Protestant Muslims what Christians "really" believe.

Haha!

Assuming that you are asking this in the metaphorical sense, that is Christ, the one and only Son of God.

They really don't. The same way a person can sit on a Protestant bench for 30+ years and have a horrible false understanding of what if believed. And if such a person later converts to another faith, that can further warp perception. Lynn Wilder is indeed much like asking an ex-Protestant...

My apologies, I misunderstood you here. My apologies again if I was too sharp. It is my experience that a lot of folks mistake Joseph Smith's role in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Thinking that LDS Christians worship him, think he was perfect, or had automatic...

Cool. I'm to break your paragraph up by subject and keep this reply pithy, feel free to ask for any elaboration. - People having lived as spirits before mortal birth & believing Jeremiah 1:5 literally is indeed LDS Christian doctrine and a central one. I very much believe this. - Anything...

If you confine "Biblical Christianity" as being your particular subclass of Protestant Christianity, then it is not. I don't.

Do oyu want me to go through this list and clarify what's accurate, what's halfway, and what's completely not?

(quoted post re-ordered for better flow in reply). Then please quit denying that I am a Christian. Actually, LDS Christians very much acknowledge that Joseph Smith was a sinner, like all men. Also do believe that he was a servant of God, but he also was a sinner. The only Perfect man to walk...

"Lying" implies that somebody knows something is false and tells you it anyways. Most folks on here and other places aren't aware that what they "know" about LDS beliefs doesn't match up to reality. They see quotes taken out of context, go with folk "knowledge" etc. It is innocently not...

Why do you think Lynn neglected to tell you that these titles she waves around don't hold any actual authority?

Dude: disciple of Christ. Not Joseph Smith. I don't idolize him, and nobody else needs to idolize him for their bashing either.

brakelite, I'm OCD honest and extremely committed to truth. What people "know" about the church, frankly, doesn't match reality. Some people listen and get things clarified, a lot just try to inform me that "I know what your churches beliefs better than you do". So I offer to clarify. And...

And you of course can do that. Did Lynn bother to tell you that her husband being a high priest simply mean that he's a LDS Christian male over the age of 40? Or the BYU doesn't have any religious requirements for it's tenured faulty and some are openly atheist? (Same with the non-tenured...

There's a million way I could go off on how Lynn Wilder doesn't remotely understand LDS Christian beliefs even at the very foundation (starting with Christ and His role). Doesn't remotely understand it, hence the very start of her confusion. Including in this passage. But I would prefer to...
