Who are your teachers? What are their authorities? What 'teaching' concerning the nature/gospel of God issues from these teachers and their teaching sources? Just how 'ultimate' IYO is the James 1 experience?
 
IMO that which transpires herein (TT) is somewhat comparable to the 1st and, early centuries between the various factions who set out to answer such questions as those concerning the canon of Scripture and, the nature of the Person of Christ.
 
IMO there exists sufficient similarity between the Christ believed/lived/preached on the part of the 'camp' of the non-Mormons for them/us to be identified with the historic 'orthodox' wing of Christianity. The Mormon 'camp', having taken on board supplementary 'scriptures' and, a new line of 'prophets' commencing with Joseph Smith, cannot but fall within a 'non-orthodox' wing of Christianity.
 
Other than reversing my designations of orthodox/non-orthodox, just how might you disagree with what I've said? I should much like to hear from Dave and Blaine, along with any 'lurkers' on this.
 
thanks,
 
Lance

I agree, Izzy, and by now you should know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches enduring to the end IN CHRIST--only.  You have unfortunately fallen under the very bad influence of  those blind guides who teach the traditions and commandments of men, mixed with a few select scriptures to support their craftiness.  I have a hard time believing you guys really believe these silly  assertions that we worship JS, or anyone else than Jesus Christ.  If you insist on fleeing from the true shepherd, be my guest.  But read below . . .
 
"O how marvelous are the works of the Lord, and how long doth he suffer with his people; yea, and how blind and impenetrable are the understandings of the children of men; for they will not seek wisdom, neither do they desire that she should rule over them.
Yea, they are as a wild flock which fleeth from the shepherd, and scattereth, and are driven, and are devoured by the beasts of the forest."  (BoM,  Mosiah 8:20-21)

No.  You must endure to the end “in Christ”.  Enduring to the end in JSmith doesn’t cut it.  Sorry. Iz
