Yeah but it’s good reading. I like to think of it as Christian fan fiction. True or not I don’t care, it encourages people to believe in Christ and live wholesome lives and that’s ok by me. It reads like scripture and results in the same warm happy feelings I felt while reading the New Testament. Haven’t been a believer since 2009 but would still recommend The Book of Mormon to anyone looking for...well anything. I’m an English major though so I’m kind of a fan of literature generally.
I will say it’s a little weird hearing one person who believes in Christ telling other people who believe in him (albeit with some additional stories in their library) that they’re headed for damnation though. If you believe that salvation comes through faith in him by his grace for doing so I don’t see how anyone can think Mormons aren’t gonna be saved with the rest of you. This doctrine of exclusion seems as extra-Biblical as anything I’ve ever heard. At the very least these are your brothers in MAGA, even if their idea of Christ varies a bit from yours. So maybe chill out a bit on the hellfire speeches.
I recently realized that every person has God's messenger (which talks to the pineal gland) and God's savior (which touches the heart). Every culture talks about these using different wording; but, we all have the ability for salvation.
I don't know how it works, in other cultures, not having studied them as much as mine. I didn't even know how it worked in mine, until a year or so ago!
Romans 10:9 is how it works.
Two organs needed: the mouth, and the heart. Saying it, is the easy part. :)
The 66 books of "canonical" Scripture are less than 10% of what's known to be hidden in the Vatican.
Joseph Smith the Freemason, racist, liar, prophet?
The Book of Mormon is a lie from beginning to end and Mormons think they will become gods when in fact they are heading for damnation.

Really love your ending there.

So much more to know.
God bless.
