I kinda have a problem understand how anyone can take someone teaching a
different Jesus so lightly. There are Christians out there that need growth
to God's word but they at least have a base belief to work from-The Mormons
have non as they teach a different gospel-and while they may claim to
believe the Bible is the word of God we have both seen them place the Book
of Mormon over to Bible. So re-read your statement at the top of the
Mailer-They go it wrong about which Jesus is the savior of the world and
they got it wrong when they said that the bible was the word of God because
when pressed the will prefer the book of Mormon. I see them telling you
what you want to hear-and would love to be considered Christians so that
other Christians would lower their guard and the Mormon church would grow.
