Ask yourself some questions along those lines that some non-Christian religious groups use to try and justify their positions to others. Doesn't matter what the name of the group is either. They all claim the same things: "we alone" have all the right doctrines!, our church is the only true one!, there's too much doctrinal contention in Christianity for it to all be true, etc., etc." Heavy sigh.
Ask yourself..... Why is it we humans don't all wear the exact same clothing, sport the same hairstyles, have the same eye, skin, hair coloration? Why are there so many choices for people in everything we create and enjoy? (Why is it no one questions those?) Because----GLORY TO GOD!----we are not all alike, despite all of us being human. We all have different personalities, backgrounds, preferences, ways of looking at the world, emotional reactions to the world's enticements and glories, etc. If God is cool with that, having created those differences, why is it we are swayed by those who whisper to us, questioning why there are so many versions of the SAME TRUTH? We ALL worship Jesus Christ as THE TRUTH. He alone is the center point of ALL faith. He still is, whether Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, Apostolic, Evangelical, Non-denominational, Quaker or Nazarene--you name it, Jesus Christ firmly remains OUR Savior and Lord, and that's all we need according to GOD. There's always something more we "need" according to some alternate religious groups bent on persuading people away from that unifying brotherly love found in Jesus Christ. These alternate religious cults share a common dislike of unity, except on their terms. God's terms are made irrelevant to them.
Always remember, holding the "correct" set of doctrines will NEVER save anyone. Doctrine is not your Savior. If that were the case Paul/Saul would have been a shoe-in with the Lord, being THE best of the best of Pharisees (being the ultimate spiritual authority of his day). But he wasn't, was he? He needed Jesus Christ---alone. Once Paul accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord he was saved. I for one am exceedingly glad that there are so many versions of doctrine around! It makes for one interesting, ongoing faith discussion, forcing us to face each other instead of going our own ways... like cults do. Right?
It's all comes down to how you view faith. When seen from the wrong end of the telescope of narrow-minded cults, whatever their name? Everything right looks wrong to their eyes, so they try to get as many people to see things their way as they can. Don't be fooled.
Mormonism is, in many ways, just like Islam. A "prophet" sees an "angel" and finds out everybody got Christ really wrong and we need new Scripture. Joseph Smith was just far less violent, successful, talented with words and anti-Christian than the desert warlord.
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8)
What makes Mormons any different that Catholicism? They both have their so called prophets.
What makes Indians any different than Mexicans? They both enjoy spicy food and thick moustaches.
Some of their innovations, such as the Immaculate Conception, were strengthened by visions and prophecy, but that is as far as it goes.
Lol. Most funnyMaybe they thought you could make a good Mormon and actually have your own planet.
