Many have fallen away from the truth they are easily angered, lie, rape, steal, profane, hate and kill. They are not meek, kind, loving, charitable, merciful, faithful, virtuous, peaceful, and patient.The prophecy of the great falling away has not happened because the Church has held the holy traditions which She has been taught, both by word and Epistle. The blood of the martyrs throughout the centuries bears witness to the Love of God that always remains in the Church. The Church, not Mormons, holds the Apostolic traditions and keeps them.
You mean like Joseph saw Him in a vision?They saw in a vision a mere metaphorical image of the God of Israel. No one can see God and live (Exodus 33:20), and no one has ever seen God, or can see Him (1 Timothy 6:16).
Yes, you are correct everyone either follows God or Satan. Even Peter was called out:That is largely incorrect. the wheat and the tares grow together in the same field. There are tares in the congregation, just as there was in the early Church, and even among's Christ's own disciples. Consider Judas Iscariot a tare.
Like Warren Jeffs, the false prophet of the fundamentalist church of LDS, who likes to rape little girls?Many have fallen away from the truth they are easily angered, lie, rape, steal, profane, hate and kill. They are not meek, kind, loving, charitable, merciful, faithful, virtuous, peaceful, and patient.
We have no credible witness to testify to the validity of His visions, or of Muhammed's visions, or Ellen G. White's visions, etc. The Bible does not testify to the truth of their visions, and their visions contradict the Apostolic Traditions which have always been held to in the Church. For this reason alone, we know they are of the evil one, not God.You mean like Joseph saw Him in a vision?
Yes like Warren Jeffs.Like Warren Jeffs, the false prophet of the fundamentalist church of LDS, who likes to rape little girls?
Yes there are many tares among the wheat, even in the true Church of Christ, which He established upon the preaching of His Apostles. Yet there is still the wheat, and these are faithful to Christ and strive to live according to His sayings -- all of His sayings.

God's prophets do not lead people astray.In Mormonism you are told repeatedly to obey the extra biblical commandments and to follow the "Prophet" without question.
Yet the Bible says:
Proverbs 3
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
John 10
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Really? Who told you that? He is a fundamentalist, not a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Our prophet is Russell M. Nelson:Warren Jeffs is a Mormon prophet.
So if prophets of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints do not lead people astray that is how you know they are not from God? Or do you actually believe they are leading people astray by telling them to come unto Christ and keep the commandments? Do you understand the whole duty of man? If so, what is it?Yep. That's how we know the people you call prophets are not from God. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The whole duty of man is to believe in Jesus Christ (John 6:29). But Who is Jesus Christ? The Mormons all lead people astray quite simply because they tell a great lie about Who Jesus Christ is, thereby making it impossible for any who believe them to believe in the True Christ. The Christ they preach is a different Christ than He Who is to be believed in.So if prophets of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints do not lead people astray that is how you know they are not from God?

So no admission that your church adds extra-Biblical requirements for exaltation or eternal life with God? Why are you unwilling to fully disclose the lds requirements?There are many commandments, but they ALL hinge on these two commandments of LOVE:
25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
(New Testament | Matthew 22:37 - 40)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The promise is that if you keep these commandments will have eternal life. However there are more promises, here are some:
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 5:10)
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
(New Testament | John 14:21 - 23)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
(New Testament | John 14:15 - 16)
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
No presumption but fact. And also a fact that the prophets mentioned in the referenced scripture do NOT refer to any lds prophets.Your presumption that modern day prophets of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Saints are false prophets is wrong.
This is not God:You mean like Joseph saw Him in a vision?
The church does not give commandments, God does. Being sealed to our families is nothing new.So no admission that your church adds extra-Biblical requirements for exaltation or eternal life with God? Why are you unwilling to fully disclose the lds requirements?
You are still assuming what you believe to be true.No presumption but fact. And also a fact that the prophets mentioned in the referenced scripture do NOT refer to any lds prophets.
