I am currently a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I just have a few comments to make, as long as you're willing to be open-minded. First off, I noticed many errors while reading the comments you made on "mormon" beliefs, and I appreciate the corrections made in a later post, which seemed to be accurate. I'm not writing to start a debate, as I've found that it's almost always a waste of time to debate religious views, as neither side is willing to bend. That being said, I consider myself a true follower of Christ and believe in his saving grace with all my heart. I regularly read the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon and the other books mentioned, and the writings found in those books have uplifted and inspired me, truly guiding me on my path to God. Though you obviously take a negative stance with regard to Joseph Smith, I believe he was a true prophet, though he IS NOT my savior nor ever will be. And I must respectfully disagree with your views about feelings. I feel that one of the most important ways that God communicates with his children is through their feelings (the Holy Spirit). In John 14 Jesus spoke of the comforter which would be sent to His apostles to guide them. Scriptures and prophets are other forms of heavenly guidance. Many argue that the Bible is THE only guidance ever needed and THE final authority with regard to God's will for men. However, what good is the Bible when its words can be interpreted thousands of ways? This is clearly evident by the ridiculous number of Christian denominations in the world today, most of which holding radically different opinions. Though I'm by no means a spiritual giant or biblical expert, I've seen the good of the LDS church and felt the truth of its teachings, and I've seen the lasting joy and happiness its brought to myself, my family, and many others whom I love and admire.
