Do you believe all Truth is limited to what is explicitly stated the Bible? Or are there things of God beyond it's pages?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I want to look through Gods eyes. When I do I see the eyes of LDS being corrupt in many aspects.
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
I've examined LDS teachings and see that much of it is false. Why should I believe LDS doctrine that contradicts scripture or adds to scripture?

I am to compare the so-called things of God to scripture. The LDS doctrines often fail. Mormins are wonderful people...but I find their theology lacking the way to salvation.

Are you God? If not, then your goal, albeit noble, is impossible. You are looking through your fallen human eyes.
Until you understand LDS beliefs, you cannot truthfully say that you reject them or that they are false. In order to do so, you must first understand what those beliefs are.

This is a non-answer to my question. Please answer:

PS-- Do you believe that all a person has to do to be saved is to believe upon Christ's name?

I understand enough of the LDS beliefs to know they directly contradict the Word of God. Several of those points have been pointed out on this thread. I don't have to dig deeper into the LDS faith as the digging I have done has already presented problems.
I believe I have done the following in many instances concerning LDS teachings:
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

No.
First off I think you must believe in the real Christ...the Jesus taught there are many false Christ out there.
Matt 24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.
It is my personal opinion (as well as many other christians) and not meant to offend you, but I believe that both the LDS as well as the JW's are following false Christ.
I see the LDS theology fall apart, and perhaps you differ with traditional LDS theology...but I've been taught by LDS members that God the Father was once a human who lived and died then got to become God over our universe. I may not have expressed that in exact LDS termonolgy as I haven't visited it in a long time.

So in your view, one's salvation is dependent on one's ability to pass a theology test. People who do not pass this theology test cannot be saved. Is that correct?

You are welcome to think/believe whatever you wish. However, I would suggest that understanding another faith can be difficult and requires quite a lot of faith. For example, I studied Catholicism for 20/hrs week for 11 months, and still consider my knowledge of it to small and my understanding smaller still. And that's after I had spent years studying other Christian faiths!

That is you putting word into my mouth which is wrong to do.
Your view seems to be that if you believe in Jesus (any Jesus)...+...works saves you. The bible teaches that is incorrect.
Let me ask you...what must one do to be saved?

In comparing your view...it would say, you must compare the doctrine of the koran to scripture to see if the koran is true.
Doing so the koran, like LDS theology disagree's with the bible. Because the koran disagrees with the bible I reject their teaching.

So judgement for entrance into heaven is based upon belief and how well you served Christ? Is that LDS theology?

No.
LDS theology is that salvation is that faith in Christ that saves and we must give our full selves to Him. There is a big difference between that and what you suggested. What you suggested, "how well you served Christ", is based on your action. Rather LDS theology is how much you allow Christ to act in your life.
