The last line is the part that bothers me. Obviously? How is it fucking obvious? All that last statement does is to proove the bias of the entire article. I mean seriously, it's clearly NOT obvious seeing as so many other religions exist, including Mormons.
To think that ONLY the bible can be correct excludes the possibility of correctness in works such as the Talmud, the Torah, the Koran, all of the Sutras, and yes, the book of Morman. Very simply, it is an exceptionally narrow-minded point of view.
If we don't open our mind to new possibilities and experiences we will never grow as people, or as a society. Very simply, the Article (in my opinion) is wrong. | You have to remember when reading this site, the writer is speaking as a Christian. This is a Christian teaching site. For Christians, faith in Jesus alone is enough for salvation. Not works, not belief in anything or anyone else. That is not true of mormonism. Ask your fellow soldier who is mormon if believing in Jesus alone is enough for salvation. He will not agree with that. Christians believe it is and Jesus said it is. The Mormons say yes belief in Jesus AND.......... Nope. Jesus is all Christians need to believe in according to the bible and that is the only book Christians believe in. Mormons believe in 2 books and they believe the book of Mormon supercedes the bible.
And remember, this belief is what Christians believe so it only applies to Christians. Not other religions of the world. |
